Comedians, he should go and see what is happening in Osun and know he can’t do jack sheet without senators or Rep members.

people will learn that it is one thing to win election to executive office, it is another to work with a hostile house where you dont have majority, talk less of some clowns and jokers who have no senators or house members and want to be president and their imbecilic followers think they can deliver on any promises if they win..

You are a big fo.ol. so all graduates know the size of river niger and river Nile?
Your stupidit.y will never let you mellow down and learn from the master. What do you even know? If we call for graduates you will surface with your ringworm ridden face right? Yet a graduate like you is supporting your ancestor who does not have past. Who claimed that Biafra war took all his classmates and school mates. Whose credentials were all forged, who does not believe in statistics, who does not even know the name of his political party, to represent you. Are you not ashamed of your rotten self?
I rather be a stark illiterate than to be a graduate like you who does not have future and neither do you have plan to better your future. Crazy fuuul like you

stop embarrassing yourself. If you are a graduate, you went to secondary school, if you sent to secondary school, you went to primary school. At some point in your primary education or secondary education, either in social studies, history or geography, you would have been taught about the river Nile...the longest river in Africa. We used to have a song in primary school about the rivers of Africa. Stop embarrassing yourself! Every educated person on Earth knows that the Nile is the longest river in Africa, for many we were taught it was the longest in the world (these days some are saying the Amazon river is longer). If you don’t know you are not educated, you just passed through school!!! Not knowing about River Nile is like not knowing the world is round…this is basic education!!!!!! These are basic things you know if you are educated. These are basic things that separate the educated man from the uneducated!!

As a graduate if you do not know the GDP of your country something is wrong with you, if you do not know how much Nigeria majes from Oil and you are a Nigerian and you live in Nigeria, something is wrong with you.....and to be honest what is wrong with you is not something that is fixable at this stage in your life!!!

When we tell you your certificates are worthless and most of you are unemployable and just wasted your time in school you will say we are insulting you, when all we are doing is stating fact!

Every student in the world talk less an African or Nigerian student should have been taught about the Nile river by the time they leave primary school and again in secondary school.

Stop embarrassing yourselves!!!! Ignoramuses!!! Shameless pigs!!!!

You are just dilute her proving my point with every post you make that it takes ignorance, lack of proper education to bee an Obi supporter.

jamesharryson:
I still repeat without any error, you did not know about these facts before Peter Obi drew you to it. Forget about Geography and Primary school social studies, you don't know that Oil contribute less than 10% of our GDP. You may have heard that River Niger is long, but i am very sure you don't or you can't quote the exact size and dimensions before Peter Obi said it.
This i am very sure of

It just shows you are a retard. Again I say it says a lot about the people who support Obi. These are things any one who calls himself a graduate should know.

The kind of tribal politics the likes of Ezeife have been playing all their lives is a major reason why Obi will not win.

On Thursday a group of aggrieved members of All Progressive Congress (APC) purportedly from northern Nigeria and led by a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Lawal Babachir, formally endorsed Mr Peter Obi of Labour Party for the 2023 presidential election. The group hinged their decision on not backing the candidate of their party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, over his decision to pick Senator Keshim Shettima from as running-mate. The decision not to back their Party's candidate was based on the fact that both Tinubu and Shetima are Muslims from the South and North respectively.

While I, like many others, commend the Babachir led group for turning their back on the divisive Muslim-Muslim pair of APC, I find their decision to support Mr Peter Obi as morally unjust and in conflict with the group's position on Tinubu/Shetima pair.

It is an open secret that Obi picked Senator Datti Baba-Ahmed, a Muslim from Kaduna State as running-mate, yet, he strategically schemed out Northerners and Muslims from strategic positions in his Presidential Campaign Council. Without mincing word, Obi's Campaign team is heavily "Anambranised" and "Christianised" (if I must use both words) - which is as dangerous for the country as Muslim-Muslim pair of APC if allowed to occupy the position he is running for. In other words, the APC Muslim-Muslim pair and pan-Anambra/Christian team of LP Campaign are same coin of different sides.

In the LP's Campaign Composition, Peter Obi, a Christian from Anambra State, is the Presidential candidate, Julius Abure, a Christian from Edo State is the Chairman of the Advisory Board and the National Chairman of the Party, Chief Clement Ojukwu, a Christian from Anambra State is the Secretary of the Campaign, Dr. Doyin Okupe, a Christian from Ogun State, is the campaign Director-General, Chief Oseloka Obaze, a Christian from Anambra State is both the LP PCC Campaign Manager and Deputy Director-General of the Campaign, Mr Valentine Ozigbo, a Christian also from Anambra State is a Senior Campaign Advisor to Peter Obi and so on. The only top positions ceded to the North and Muslims are the positions of LP's running-mate (Datti Ahmed) and Campaign Council Chairman (Mr Mohammed Zarewa).

From the aforementioned, Peter Obi shut out not just Northern Muslims but also Southern Muslims and non-Anambra Christians (Save Okupe and Julius) from strategic positions in the LP Campaign Council. This clearly shows that Obi and LP are as guilty as APC in sectionalism in the composition of their team. To make matter worse, Peter Obi denied LP' National Secretary Alhaji Umar Farouk Ibrahim, a Muslim from the North, who ordinarily should be the LP' PCC Secretary, and gave the position to Clement Ojukwu, a Christian from Anambra State, who is the Party's Organising Secretary.

If Babachir could listen to the voices of majority Nigerians who are aligned with the candidature of Atiku Abubakar and Ifeanyi Okowa, the Presidential and Vice presidential candidates of Peoples Democratic Party respectively. This is because only the pair represents Nigeria's diversity and unity in terms of zoning, religion and region.

In the PDP Council, the Candiate, Atiku Abubakar is a Muslim from Adamawa State, the running mate, Okowa, is a Christian from Delta State, the Campaign Chairman is a Christian from Akwa Ibom State, Campaign DG is a Muslim from Sokoto State, the Party National Chairman, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, is a Christian from Benue State, the Party Board of Trustees Chairman, Sen. Adolphus Wabara is a Christian from Abia State, and so on.

Perhaps, Babachir saw these yet aligned with Obi Campaign Council that is even more sectional than that of his party while sidestepping the Atiku-Okowa team that represents Nigeria's ethnic and religious
diversity in its composition due to mischief and hypocrisy. Maybe Babachir's public endorsement of the sectional Peter Obi Campaign is a strategy by Asiwaju Tinubu to ensure balkanisation of opposition votes to pave way for his victory knowing that majority of Nigerians are against his candidacy. This may be true when one take into account that same Tinubu was instrumental in the nomination of Babachir as SGF and same Babachir almost singlehandedly purchased APC Presidential nomination form for Tinubu.

Meanwhile, in all fairness and equity, it is just for all Nigerians to reject Muslim-Muslim ticket of the ruling party as well as the 'Anambranisation and Christianisation' schemes of Labour Party. Our diversity must reflect all that we do - this is the only way we can #RecoverNigeria. This is the reason majority of Nigerians are aligned with Atiku-Okowa presidential ticket.

God Bless Nigeria

Hypocrisy all over, you condemn Muslim Muslim, you condemn sectional Obi but you support North retaining power after 8 years? Nobody has a leg to stand on so let us focus on who has the best ideas, track record and capacity to deliver a better Nigeria.

CelestineNelson:
Meanwhile, Check out this irony

How you talk of youths, new direction and bring forward Obi

That’s the real irony.

jamesharryson:
Oga, i put it to you that you don't know about these things before Peter Obi said it

This is the problem with Obidients, you are Obidense that is why you support Obi in the first place. Basic primary school social studies Geography…..river nile is the longest river in Africa, it used to be said it is the longest in the world, if you don’t know that you didn’t go to school. Oil revenues is about 50b, our GDP is about 500b, you don’t need Obi to tell you that, Our poverty level has been in the public domain for years, you don’t need Obi to tell you that. If you need Obi to tell you these things, it says a lot about the kind of ignorance and lack of education among Obi supporters!!!’

What are you fact checking, plus fact checkers plus supporters you are all daft!!!!

Shameless pigs. The fact that they are fact checking your candidate on basic things should be a source of concern.

Are we illiterates, that we don’t know the length of the river nile? Of that oil is a small fraction of our GDP or that we are the poverty capital of the world? Seriously? What kind of people are we? It’s an insult that we are celebrating fact checking basic things from a presidential candidate.

Let him first of all adhere to the campaign timetable he announced. If you can’t adhere to your own campaign timetable how do want to govern Nigeria?

No wonder he has no manifesto!

etenyong:
This Obidients upper cut is massive. Baba blu blu blu may not survive it.

The real knock out blow will be delivered in February!

Then you will understand that statistics are meaningless if you have no solutions.

Any idiot can quote statistics (even you morons if you bothered) the are freely available. It takes intellect to devise solutions, something we have not seen from the Obi camp, except “trust me”!!!

christejames:
Tinubu, a self acclaimed accountant that is scared of statistics...


No be juju be that?



And he wants to lead a heterogeneous country like Nigeria?

There is a difference between endlessly quoting statistics and actually preferring solutions.

Illiteracy is worrying you

Osun will hear it!!!!

To be truthful he should know better. I know he was there to commission a judicial project (law school) But this is why magistrates, judges etc are not supposed to attend social events, parties etc.

CorrectBizWoman:
Please who else is been sex starved at home. I can count how many times we've had sex since dis year. Always money money money all the time which is beginning to bother a lot more on greed. We're very comfortable. Solid investments, own the house we live in.

He don't cheat at least none that I know of and he's very free with his phone.

I'm tired of living this way... Any help guys? He's the last person you can seduce. It just don't work with him.

To think it's this same man loves sex like crazy even after our kids before this money talks, makes me wonder how people change so fast

1). He could be stressed
2) it could be he is longer turned on by you
3) he could have a side chick
4) he could have power failure down there.

Note: if it is not 1 or 4 then it is 2 or 3. 2 and 3 go hand in hand in this instance. If it is not 2 or 3 then it is 1 or 4. Let’s not even consider option 5.

maestroferddi:
Oga you are not adding up...

What is the logic that discountenances Kenneth Okonkwo's meteoric rise as one of the best political spokespersons in Nigeria just because mighty you could not extricate yourself from ethnocentric bondage to listen to his pitch?

The Bwala and few others you cited, I am sure, salute Okonkwo's oratory.

I don't know your experience, but as a professional public speaker, I can tell you for free that Kenneth Okonkwo is an orator par excellence.

You think we came to play here.... We unleashed the full option...

Read my last sentence. Your answer is there!

maestroferddi:
lol...

The dude is giving you guys shege...

I always suspected that his manner of dramatising as he speaks will draw viewers to him...

We don't need your affirmation. We launched him from the laboratory...

Labour Party is the game...the new normal.

The rest are playing catch up...

It only attracts nitwits. I have never been able to watch a full interview from him. He is so irritating I can’t hear him long enough to deliver his message. It is means he is not effective at doing his job. Bwala attacks Tinubu, Reno attacks Tinubu, I listen to them
Because they are listenable. I can’t listen to this guy speak.

To be honest I had never heard of him until a few weeks ago. It just goes to validate why I don’t watch Nollywood. I always say it takes a low IQ to be fascinated by Nollywood!!!!

If some people like let them be appearing on Arise Tv every day or running from high commission to embassy taking pictures!

emperordelis:
Las las,if you decide to get involved in politics,be ready to chest it with courage when they dig out the number of times you stole meat from your mother's pot as a teenager

We have a saying, if you didn’t want to k ow who knacked your mother, don’t get involved in politics.

Okonkwo is an 1mbecile. Not because he attacks APC or Tinubu, many people do and it is his right to but he comes across as a fool whenever he talks. Too much drama. Trying to sound more intelligent than he is. Like the author said, he is not auditioning for a role. Speak English without all the drama let us hear.

I must say I was shocked to read his purported comments the other day. Quite shameful and unbecoming if true.

Grandmeister:
You're kidding and I won't fall for it. The plans obi has been highlighting all over the media for months now is what you're asking me to state them all? His plans on education and moving Nigeria from consumption to production has been constantly outlined on every news channel available YET you ask me to "state them".

I have never seen a salesman who is asked by a customer to tell him the benefits of his product says no I won’t fall for it!!

Good luck. I’m done arguing with the brain dead!!!

Grandmeister:
Even if he brings the most exquisite plans you will still ridicule it. You are not talking to a teenager, I've been around for a long time in this country to understand how your minds work. To you someone saying he will enrol millions of youth into the army and feed them with carbohydrate and starch is good enough. And oh many Nigerians are eternally stupid. If they could vote in a man who orchestrated a coup that toppled a democratically elected government by the people into power, a man whose O-level certificate still remains an object of contention, a man with no proven track record as a dictator and a statesman. Infact his most distinguished record was pushing Nigeria into her first economic recession. What did Nigerians do, they rewarded him with presidency years later...so yes, millions of Nigerians are stupid.

State the plan 1st let us see. Abi you have no confidence in the plan?

Oga all I asked was to state the plan, Instead you spent all the long post abusing. Can you not see I am right? You keep telling us what is wrong with others but fail to say what is good about you? Don’t you see what is wrong with that strategy? Can you not see that the more you carry on in this manner the more you reinforce the view that you have no plan and that the devil you know……

Not all of us are driven by sentiment, some still have a working brain.

Tinubu is right. Obi has no stature, no track record. He is where he is because he is riding the wave of sentiments and frustrations of the youths and the Ibos. Unfortunately for the youths and. the Ibos, however the irony is that Obi is the reason why the movement will fail.

A once in a generation opportunity and they chose an imbec1le, a mor0n, a charlatan, a quack to head the movement. Millions of Nigerians would gladly switch votes if they had chosen someone like maybe Soludo, NOI, someone of stature, someone with a track. Record, not an imbec1le!!!!

When will this fools called hunters will realize that all this animal are gradually going into extinction

While the white are busy looking for were to preserve this endangered species we black enjoy killing them for money and merry

I wonder what will happen when the hunters kill all of them.........I guess they will start hunting fellow humans

#BabaNowThatYouAreThere please preserve our wild animals from all this blood sucking demons called hunters

You made sense until you mentioned whites. Anybody who bases his reasoning on what the whites are doing is an idiot even if he is right.

Have some self respect dignity and a mind of your own!

Grandmeister:
Spare us the bullshyt. For ethnically biased and obtuse people like you NOBODY from any other region will ever be good enough for you.
A candidate younger, fitter and mentally aware than tinubu comes on board you will tag him ipob.

A candidate with less financial, educational and social baggage comes on board engaging people on the all platforms available home and abroad you will tag the person 'oversabi'.

Tell us what his plans are, you can’t because he has none. Resorting to abuse, name calling and arousing sentiments is because you have nothing to sell! He neither has a sellable track r record or an articulated plan aka manifesto.

Nigerians are not stupid!!!!!! Not all!!!

I saw the tweet below which I think represents the prevailing sentiment among not just Obidients but many Nigerians. The problem however is that it is not just enough to say never again, you also have a duty and responsibility toa present someone competent. This is where your movement falls down!!!

You talk about baggage ok we agree instead you present people with baggage ( agreed it is smaller) but with no capacity of competence. At least Tinubu’s baggage comes with a level of ability and competence. Is it baggage that will develop economy or ability and competence?

tete7000:
You make me laugh and I laugh so hard!

And that is the problem with you people. Right from inception of the Obi candidacy, when we ask you to specifically list his track record and his plans, you are never able to or you can’t because deep down you know there is nothing backing his candidature except emotion and anger. Which is why your whole campaign strategy has been to attack the opposition. 90 days to election…still no manifesto!!!!

You have nothing to campaign on because you are a bunch of cowboys and quacks so you resort to attacking Tinubu and telling us what we already know!!! Abi is it that you think we don’t know if Tinubu’s negatives?


How dumb are you people?

tete7000:
Did I sound to you like I want to sell any candidate? No! I only pointed out the problem with Nigeria using your mindset as a yardstick. Democracy is the rule of the major and predominant value system and when corruption is dominant and well supported, it is extremely difficult, if not almost impossible to get a clean and honest alternative. If you say Tinubu is best alternative, it shows the nature of people who occupy the geographical space called Nigeria and that includes you and me.

Don’t put words into my mouth. I have never ever said anywhere that Tinubu is the “best alternative”. If you don’t y derstand English don’t use it. What you will hear me say is he is the least bad in a list of terrible options. I am not voting g for Tinubu because I am a fan, one reason I am voting for him is to do my bit to prevent the disaster that will be an Obi presidency!!!! I restate if Obi was t contesting I won’t vote. My vote for Tinubu is not for Tinubu but a vote against the incompetence that is Obi


If you are struggling against Tinubu with all his negatives, the problem is not Tinubu, the problem is you!!!!!


If you cannot sell water in the desert, the problem is you!!! You can attack the heat all you like, you can curse the land and the people all you like, bu the failure to sell water in the desert is a reflection on you not the desert or the people of the desert!!!!
