Peter Obi supporters started it. I think it is IBOS system of campaign. Late 1998 was very tough when Obasanjo contested PDP primary against Ekwueme. The insult, assault and blackmail against Obasanjo were enormous.

Again, the youths are not well cultured and trained. Atiku aide who made these filmsy observations about Tinubu also made mistake but none of the youths noticed it which means majority of people on political matter online are IBOS only looking for Tinubu's downfall.
Stop disgracing yourself my very young friend. The late MKO Abiola won the 1993 election resoundingly, with our Igbo people voting massively for him along with other tribes. How old were you in 1993? Were you born then?

What do you kuku know?

How old were you in 1999, by the way? That will help us enlighten you more on the history of insolence and violence in Nigerian political history

Botking:
Obi, did i hear him mentioning of Obi, Lol, I thought they said Obi was not relevant, that they contests is between APC and PDP, I really want to laugh

So Obi is now their nightmare, when by the end of December his popularity as sweep the entire country , you all will understand why Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey couldn't sleep those nights decade ago, because they saw a vision of the future on how things will play out




Meanwhile the below photo is the skeletal future the young man Dorsey was framing out of his mind
He did not mention either Kwankwanso or even Sowore. I also thought they called Obi the social media President. Now even BAT recognises Obi as a real threat.

For those of us who are OBIdient, we see Obi as the next President. Power belongs to God. Tinubu said LP would labour in vain. Obi is not supported with looted funds, by those babas who shared Nigeria. He is supported joyfully with funds from the pockets of those market men and women, the youths and the oppressed.

2023 is not by "emi lo kan", neither is it by "unifier". It is by God, who is the owner of power.

Abacha thought that he could easily transmute from a military head of state, to a civilian President. He did not put God in his calculation. He thought Also rock was impregnable to enemies. God in his omnipresence had other plans.

Atiku won the governorship of Adamawa, but he was elevated. He was not better qualified by the likes of Adamu Ciroma, etc, but God used OBJ and others to get make him the VP. He started stabbing OBJ in the back, along with the same Ayu. The Presidency was his, until his ill fated moves led to the removal of Ayu and made him a serial contestant.

Power belongs to God

As for me I believe in God and I follow OBIdience.

yomi961:
Peter Obi placed El Rufai under house arrest and released him at the airport with the order that he should go and campaign in Kaduna.

Peter Obi swore with the life of his wife and children that he will never leave APGA, the party that will transform the South East, to a "Yoruba" or Fulani political party.

Peter Obi swept the massacre of almost 100 dissidents whose corpses were dumped in a River under the carpet.

Peter Obi denied Local Government Areas in Anambra State autonomy and refused to conduct Local Government Elections.

Peter Obi destroyed Labour Party's billboards as Governor of Anambra State. That time Olusegun Mimiko was the Governor of Ondo State under the platform of Labour Party which was seen as the 2nd Yoruba party (after ACN) that period.


Peter Obi is an autocratic Marxist ruler. He hates opposition and will go to any point to silence those who ask important questions.

Peter Obi is the ocean from which Obidense fetch their dictatorship and hope of a one-party state - an utopian democracy where an electorate is not supposed to support another candidate.

Peter Obi is a tyrant,Undemocratic opportunist who employs his effeminate voice and rand infusion of lies to coax the public


Is Peter Obi himself not a Devil and an anathema to EndSars?.. What could have prompted Obi to rush to court to obtain an injunction stopping the EndSars Panel in Anambra from summoning him on the ground of the atrocities committed by Akwuzu Sars under James Nwafor. If he really truly loved the Youths as he claims, why did he use the court to scuttle the inquiry and denied justice to the family of those youths killed under his regime?
Obi is nothing but a killer of youths, a hypocritical liar hiding under the facade of sainthood.

You don't know Eko so you can't know Eyo. All those outskirts and huge registered voters LGs like Alimosho etc are predominantly yoruba and outskirts. Your military will stay only in VGC.

The whole Yorubaland in SW, Kwara and Kogi is locked down for Asiwaju Tinubu. That alone can deliver up to 20m votes with the sentiment that the Igbo are ganged up against the Yoruba in the 5 SE states!
Mr. Freestuff, use brain small na.

Sentiments set aside. Lagos is a metrpolitan city, with different tribes and cultures represented. APC has its supporters, PDP has its supporters, just like LP. Do not rule out NNPP, with supporters everywhere too.

Recently you witnessed the OBIdient rally, just as you witnessed the APC rally. You saw the crowd pulled by the two. Do not forget PDP with support in Ojo, Amuwo Odofin, Ajegunle/Apapa, Oshodi/Isolo, Eti Osa, Lekki axis. Voters for all the parties have their PVCs ready. Can you not see clearly that APC cannot have a landslide?

Erroneously, you all think supporters of other parties beside APC intend to vote along tribal lines. That will be geandvself illusion. All the parties have supporters cut across the various tribes. Tinubu has supporters in the SE, even as he continues to overlook the area, just as Obi has supporters in the SW, if the Yoruba race.

No one of them will have 20m votes.

Bros, please vote for a candidate that will make Nigeria liveable and loveable. We are tired if the evil old brigade who have made lives miserable for Nigerians.

You sampled the opinions of an anonymous who told you " issues and sentiments" would be at the front burner of the caimpaign. Has he said anything different from the realities on ground?. Is Atiku not promoting himself before the North as a Northern candidate?. Is Obi not an Ipob candidate which ibos are championing as ibo Presidential for a slot since 1999 despite his failure as a Governor and lots of Anambra indigenes cursed him out during his tenure.
Mr. Pakute, who does Asiwaju represent?

Atiku for the north. Obi for IPOB. Asiwaju therefore represents agberos, judging by your submission.

FamilyRe: How Do I Tell My Unmarried Elder Sister That She Is Getting Too Old? by Cantonese: 1:49pm On Oct 16, 2022
IntelChief:
My elder sister is around 32 years and still not serious with marriage. Her only focus is on making money and she had been very successful in that aspect. She has a well paying job and is not only comfortable but also supports me financially sometimes.

But I just can't imagine why she is not disturbed about the fact that she is still single at her age. A lot of guys I know had been approaching her but she never accepts even a relationship offer from them, talk more of marriage. (And am very sure that she is not a lesbian or any of that).

As a church guy, I have seen a lot of women stock in this not being married thing and jumping from one church to the other seeking for husbands. Some of them, out of desperation, fall victims in the hands of fake pastors and sharp guys. I really don't want my sister to go through such.

Initially, I wasn't disturbed, but right now, this issue is burning not only me but also my aging mother. My mother had even stylishly urged my sister to go get married on several occasions. But she won't.

What really got me mad was when I was discussing with my sister some days back about her future plans. She told me stuffs like planning on travelling abroad for greener pastures, bla bla bla, but made no mention of marriage.

Honestly guys, I am tired. And as a man in the family, I am thinking of changing it for my sister. Am planning on threatening her that if she doesn't take the issue of marriage serious, I will go physical with her and teach her some lessons. But the issue is that she is my elder sister and I have some respect for her. And my action might end up affecting the bond in the family.
"As a man in the family". Yet she supports you financially. Where is the man na?

"I will go physical with her and teach her some lessons". As you dey so without hunger, you no go respect yourself? Abi you want hunger to be your second name?

Who says she does not want to get married? Are you too young to understand that people plan their lives?

Plan your own life and live your own life.

Fantastic. Waoh. The congestion no be here. It's long overdue. That should facilitate movement through Uga, to Orlu, Imo state and others. Commerce would thrive more, as Ekwulobia is a major center of commerce in Anambra state.

The multiplier effect can be found in sorrounding communities like Agulueze Chukwu, Igboukwu, Ichida and Isuofia.

PoliticsRe: Wike Vs Atiku: Call For Ayu’s Resignation Unfortunate – Nwodo by Cantonese: 1:26pm On Oct 15, 2022
Now PDP has started deceiving itself.

The party chairman promised to step down if a northerner emerged as the candidate. The same Ayu worked hard for a northern candidate to emerge. He then changed the narrative to "if the party asks me to resign". Majority in the party want him to go for equity and fairness, now he says BOT, NWC, NEC.

The narrative now is after Atiku wins. If you have an incompetent general, how can you win a war, Mr. Nwodo. Why not advice Ayu to leave and install a complete PDP person as the chairman.

Who the gods want to kill, they first make mad. Mr. Atiku refused all entreaties when he left PDP, with seven governors and several party leaders. Those who come to equity must have clean hands. PDP must clear themselves of their past leadership errors.

Who ever told PDP that they could not find a very eminent southerner as their candidate? They simply wanted a money bag to match Tinubu. They forgot that power belongs to God. Ernest Shonekan was picked from UAC to become the interim president. Shehu Shagari was picked from nowhere to be the president.

I believe that PDP has positioned itself to fail, just like APC.

Whatever the case, Obi should win for us to have a better Nigeria, from from all these greedy old babas.

Igbos happened to our economy... Igbos are the ones who import the most... when imports are more than exports it leads to a trade deficit..

Nobody talked about tribes, but about Lagos and it's development. Our discussion centers on Tinubu's claim that Lagos was a jungle before his administration.

Igbos made your country's leadership fail? Igbos made your leadership fail to create jobs and establish industries? Igbos made your governments fail to provide electricity and security?

Wake up and be wise. Poor leadership, poor nation. Corrupt leadership, miserable nation. Crooked politicians, divided nation.

Ask me questions about how Lagos was before and after Tinubu.

Yorubas/Igbos/Fulanis/Hausas, etc did not ruin the nation. Politicians of every tribe teamed up to ruin the nation.

Nobody is saying Tinubu built Lagos from the scratch because Lagos was developed by first the colonial masters and the the Federal Government since it was the Federal capital territory but as soon as the FCT was moved to Abuja, Lagos was left to rot, we all remembered how the city became a haven to Armed robbery,Pick pockets at Oshodi and Lagos Island, refuse dumps everywhere and infrastructural decay. We could not drive through Oshodi to Mushin because Under Bridge (Oshodi Isale was blocked by Market people and people selling electronics). Tinubu and his successors refurbished Lagos to what it is today.
When the capital was moved to Abuja, Lagos was left as the commercial capital and not to rot. Tinubu met a much safer Lagos, left by Buba Marwa. He met a Lagos free from agberos.

He said that Lagos was a jungle before he became the governor. Does he want us to believe that his office on Tiamiyu Savage, V/I was a jungle area?

Our political leaders must be circumspect with their words. We have gone past the age where we did not hold them accountable for their wicked acts on the citizens.

At his tenure, Oshodi was a battle zone, with many touts and OPC reigning. Fashola cleared the mess to fix the area and Ambode made it what it has become today.

We must not take overlook Buba Marwa's achievements in the calculation.

Lagos was lucky to have great governors from the days of Mobolaji Johnson. We had Adekunle Lawal, Gbolahan Mudashiru, Ndubuisi Kanu, Comm Ebitu Ukiwe, Raji Rasaki, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, Mike Akhigbe, Michael Otedola (Femi Otedola's father), Buba Marwa.

Tinubu created BRT which Fashola completed, LAWMA, LASMA, RRS, Hydro power plant and LASUTH remodernization, EKO ATLANTICS, Alpha beta, lekki toll gate and creation of more local govts which created more jobs and employment especially for Yoruba people..

Like you said Tinubu began a revenue drive that makes Lagos work better.. the same way parents work to make the lives of their children better than what they had when they were children..

Would Lagos have been able to maintain the infrastructure it had on a N600m monthly IGR and even build more infrastructure, before Tinubu started the revenue drivehuh

did your salary between 1974 and 2022 remain the same cheesy cheesy cheesy grin grin
How old are you, my pickin?

Tinubu built Itire road? Sorry my son. Itire road existed ages ago in the history of Lagos. The palace of the Onitire has not changed in anyway. Infact the whole of Ijesha, traversing Itire to Mushin, have largely remained the same. Lawanson remains the same, except for the new buildings. Those filling stations in Lawanson have been there for more than 50 years. Nothing changed in Idi araba. All the roads were refurbished and keep getting refurbishments.

Ijaiye road was always there. He made the new road. Obasanjo resurfaced Idi iroko to Sango in 1999, making it necessary for the then new government of Tinubu to fix Ijaiye road. Tinubu surfaced Ikotun-Igando road, but within the area of Igando, Ambode surfaced them all making them beautiful and habitable. Ambode fixed the whole Ikola to Sango. Go and see then today. What about the Oshodi interchange? Na Tinubu do am sef?

On an IGR of N600m, Marwa gave a peaceful and prosperous. The exchange rate was N21.89 to the dollar. Today under your Tinubu and Buhari, it is N433 officially and N740 unofficially, a ruined economy and miserable citizens. Make your calculation and tell us the difference in real value.

Ask your daddy his income in the 70s. Ask him whether it is not true that his 130 naira a month or 400 naira a month did not pay all his bills and give him joy. You could buy Coke in Lagos for 6 kobo then. Ask Tinubu and Buhari what happened to our economy. Presently you buy a bottle of coke for N200. On the face value, that was the salary in the period mentioned by you. In real terms presently, that's a bottle of coke.

Tinubu supported a baba go slow to bring this nation to its knees. Now he claims emi lo kan, with a promise to continue Buhari's legacies. No be wahala be that?

Truely, you grew up In Lagos. However, none of the schools you mentioned above were state schools. in-fact, if you didn't attend a Federal or missionary owned school in Lagos...you are almost doomed. You may want to answer the questions? What happens to garbage from your house at the time, without carrying on your head to dump by the roads side almost half a kilometer away? what Cinemas were functional at the time? How did you get around long distances in Lagos without the terrible 911 (Molue) buses? Victoria Island was predominantly residential, Even the entire Lekki as you see it now was a large swamp and mash land. Give the man some respect. He has paid his dues and does have bragging rights...there's no one like him in this era of Nigerian politicians
Then it's either you do not know much about Lagos or you are very young.

I can mention too many privately owned schools aside from the missionary schools in Lagos State, before Tinubu. I must credit the return of missionary schools to Tinubu, because he returned them at his tenure.

Cinemas? There were cinemas everywhere. There were Idera, Oregie, Pen cinema, National theater, Glover hall, etc , ages before Tinubu.

Aside from the privately owned schools, Lagos State had its own Schools, Polytechnic and University, before Tinubu's tenure. I can mention the Federal/missionary owned schools to you. I was born and grew up in Lagos and I know Lagos completely.

Lagos had health officials long before the war. There were wole wole, who ensured that surrounding areas were very clean. Refuse was properly disposed.

Transportation was well developed in Lagos long before independence. Before Lagos State transport corporation, there were oluwoles. Before the Oluwoles, there were Marcopolos. There were molues and Kia Kia buses (danfos) emerged around 1970 or before. Tinubu only stopped molues from getting into Lagos Island following his own idea of a better city.

Victoria Island/Ikoyi/Dolphin were largely residential. Broad Street, Idumota, etc, up to the present secretariat, Obalende and Keffi street in Ikoyi we're commercial areas.

Lekki sprouted out from the destruction of Maroko, by the late Brig. Raji Rasaki in 1989, as the governor. Victoria Island annex was extended to cover the present Lekki Phase 1 as people started migrating there. Those who could not afford the property prices in V/I and Ikoyi started relocating there and further down.

Tinubu had his own ideas of how Lagos should be further developed. He improved the healthcare system, especially LASUTH. Ayinke house was built and donated by the late Mobolaji Bank Anthony in memory of his mother. Tinubu created the bus rapid system and following the withholding of Lagos funds by Obasanjo, Tinubu developed the tax plan. I remember clearly how some companies that failed to pay excise duties, had their gates locked up until they paid.

There are better administrators than him. Marwa and Ambode made Lagos liveable. Marwa particularly chased agberos away from Lagos, but they returned when Tinubu became the governor. Now even an agbero organised a rally in his favour in Lagos. Intellectuals attended the rally, jumping up and down.

Baba Jakande brought the idea of a Lagos metroline. This same PMB, blocked it as a military president in 1984.

Tinubu's popularity centers on his ability to give out money with ease. As far as I am concerned, there are three political moneybags in this country, namely: Atiku, Tinubu and Wike.Their resources make them who they politically are presently.

Tinubu told a clear lie, but we will not overlook his own contributions in Lagos.
