In borno A.P.C 1.2 million... PDP..100k..Lmao...Garfield...na joker

2019 elections Borno state:

Apc 837,000
PDP 71,000

2015 (during Boko Haram occupation)

APC 473,000
PDP 25,000

In 2019, Borno alone wiped out PDP’s gains in 3 states of Anambra, Abia and Evonyi!!!


Nairalanders should make an effort to look at the data before they talk. When they say, Google is your friend, it’s for your own good!
This is why they call Nigerian youth lazy!!!

What she is saying is that Datti is not as competent as Kwakwanso. What I say is they are both better than Obi.

Eriokanmi:
You even posted ambode's achievement join...the man tinubu and his blind supporters openly condemned and accused of abandoning Tinubu's legacies yet, built an ultra modern and first of its kind bus terminal in Africa. He abandoned his legacies but bought almost 1000 brt buses . He abandoned his legacies but constructed a brt lane from oshodi to abule egba. I'm not even talking of the capital projects he executed in less than 4 years.

Had ambode not called the bluff of Tinubu, do you think he'd have achieved so much? They said his sin was that, he's not a party man, his not a democrat, blablabla. Yet, his government recorded budget surplus for the first time in decades after our uncle Pa Jakande's administration. So, sanwoolu who's now a party man and a democrat, It's almost 4 years already. How far?

We're voting the man with that one wrist watch instead of the reckless Tinubu who keeps using our money to buy jets. He has his investments in those sectors you mentioned. We will take his hands off those sectors come next year. I pray there'd be elections. Mr jeun soke kotun jeun sapo. We didn't undestand what he meant by this in 1999 until he moved from AD to ACN

All this your long story, I never mentioned Ambode. All I said is if people can support a man who has no achievements for8 years in office, no infrastructure, no IGR gain, only dead bodies in rivers as a result of shoot on sight orders, simply because he has 1 watch and 2 shoes then they can support a man who has a record of visible achievements in spite of his negatives.

The point here is Obi supporters are not in a position to criticize a man who has a record because Obi has no record to campaign on!!!

They were both Governors for 8 years.

Eriokanmi:
You think people are moved by this?

People are moved by having only 1 watch and 2 shoes, so I’m sure people are moved by actual achievement in government.

Shettima!!

CyynthiaKiss:
it takes only a determined mind to drag a case till Supreme Court and to think such determination is coming from people that have been deceiving Yoruba Christians that religion doesn't matter in South West just to keep them subdued and naive.
I thank God many Yoruba Christians are no longer falling for that crap and have been seeing them and their tricks.
they made sure that Osinbajo's ambition was dead and maligned him in the most wicked manner ever calling him unprintable names just because he's a Yoruba Christians even when he's over qualified than their preferred choice Tinubu.
they said Muric is on his own yet Tinubu urchins who are mostly Yoruba Muslims are already here on nairaland pre-primaries telling you that it's Tinubu or nothing, meaning they don't rate Osinbajo and will never support him should he emerged.
Same people are pushing for Muslim-Muslim ticket telling people that yoruba Christians will fall in line because they knew they'll deceive them with their usual lines that "religion doesn't matter"

The same Yoruba Muslims that said religion doesn't matter are gradually pushing for Sharia laws in Yoruba land and before you know it boom it's already in supreme Court and it'll be ruled in their favour.

Dear Yoruba Christians, it's time to wake up and stop living in lies and deceit
these guys don't rate you and will never do.
the facts are there.
it's their religion first and nothing else.

Yoruba Christians/traditionalists ronu
God bless real Omoluabis and Yoruba land...


Copied from ...Gbenga Makinde

You are not a yoruba so don’t speak for us. We have grown up with Muslims and Christians in the same family, the same schools, in peace until you people started introducing religion into our politics. Yesterday I was with my childhood Muslim and christian friends eating and drinking. We don’t see Muslim/christian, all we see is brotherhood, love and in the case of our leaders, competence!!!!!


All this religion crap is the reason your areas are Sh1t!!!!! Don’t come here telling us Yoruba ronu, when the result of your intolerance and homogeneous zones is that your zones are uninhabitable and you run to yoruba land to make your living!!!!! It is the tolerance of the yorubas that you enjoy in the SW that makes your flourish in the SW and the intolerance of your people that drives investment and businesses away from your land.

Keep your poison away from us!!!!

naijapikin2:
The biggest challenge obi will have will be from the south west. But I still see him winning the presidential election. Even if he had picked nollywood actor aguba, I'd still vote for him

The biggest change Obi will make is to dilute the Atiku challenge. The people in the SW you talk about we’re never going to vote for Tinubu.
They are mostly in Lagos and we saw a taste of it in 2019.

People are already entrenched in how they plan to vote. The APC man in the SW isnt going to vote for Atiku or Obi, come rain come sunshine. The Obi man isn’t going to vote for Tinubu come rain come sunshine. The Atiku man isn’t going to vote for Tinubu come rain come sunshine. The question is how many Atiku/ Obi supporters will move from one camp to another and how many new supporters can Obi get!

Atiku cannot win this election, his base has been decimated and he has no new supporters. The question is whether Obi can get enough new voters in addition to the voters he has taken away from Atiku. I would be lying if I said I knew and so also anyone who claims to know because it hasn’t been tested, we are in uncharted territory. Nobody knows whether the surge in registrations will translate into votes and how! Nobody knows if the sleeper voters who previously don’t turn up will turn up. Nobody knows!!!!!

Iraloren:
I contacted many of my friends out there in USA ever my ex girlfriend said she is tripping in to Nigeria to vote Obi . Omo I thought it only
me and my friends here in Sweden want to come back home for 2023 election. OBI all the way ...

The bookings are coincidental. IMHO the surge in bookings have nothing to do with Elections but is simply advanced bookings because of half-term as we have so many children now schooling abroad. Children coming home and parents going to spend half term abroad see dates for spring half term 2023 below!!!

Trust me I lived abroad for many years. I know the economics and the mindset of those living abroad. Nobody is traveling from his/her base abroad just to vote.

People who are looking for how to pay rent, mortgage, credit card bills etc. The average Nigerian abroad cannot afford to take time off work for a week!!! Don’t let them deceive you!!!!

The biggest planes only carry 300-400. Let us assume 300 of them on every flight are coming to vote and 10 flights a day, So you have 3,000 arrivals everyday for 1 month. That is only 90-100,000 votes…..it is inconsequential!!!!!

This is why true politicians says social media is all noise!!!!!

The people telling you they are coming to vote, do they have PVCs?

If you truly live abroad, you and I know that “want to” and “will actually come” are 2 different things, so also booking a flight and actually paying for a flight!!! Do you and your friends have PVCs? I doubt!!! When February comes, you are your friends in Sweden and USA will be monitoring events from the USA and Sweden. If you truly live abroad, you know I am right!!!!!

PaChukwudi44:
Abeg STFU!! We don't need votes from agbadorites

. Prepare yourself for a lifetime of abusing from the outside!!

Grandmaster2022:
So u watched the back of your television. At this level you still sound nuts. No wonder you have no sense . Continue rooting for old men to be ruling you.ewu Gambia

So long as Obi’s supporters feel insult and abuse is the way to get badly needed votes, he will never become president. Even those who want change and are contemplating voting for him will be discouraged by your type…..so carry on. I don’t see Tinubu or Atiku supporters insulting or abusing anybody.

You haven’t reached Aso Rock you are abusing and insulting everybody, what will you do if you get to Aso ROCK?

I must say that after watching his interview on Arise, My conclusion is this. I was impressed by certain things and was disappointed in certain matters. He looks to me like a man that cannot ruffle feathers, a man who will perform if he has the cover of a god father but who runs from conflict. His comments on his senate ticket was not inspiring. He said some positive things but In summation, his interview was a wash, the negative cancelled the positive.


The main thing I got from the interview is that the Obi/Datti ticket is no threat. Even to Atiku.

christejames:
The electorates are waiting and watching

The old men that think they own Nigeria, keep taking Nigerians and our creed for granted

2023, we will permanently send you guys to your respective retirement homes abroad

They own Nigeria because the youth don’t think right! The youth have had 2 years since endsars riots to build structures, to become delegates, to sensitize and start grass root campaigns, they were busy watching BBN and following Burna boy while the owners of Nigeria were strategizing. Now 7 months to an election they decide to support two 60 year old men who themselves are part of the status quo (Peter Obi ironically is a key actor in the emergence of the notorious SARS due to his shoot on sight order he gave Anambra SARS). The 1st one Osinbajo, olule, the second one Obi, olule but he managed to stand up and port to a party with no structures. If youths had strategized and joined parties and seized the moment and taken advantage of the momentum of endsars protest , things might have been different but they were only interested in street party. You left it too late.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Wike cannot work for apc or tinubu in 2023.All his supporters are contesting on the platform of Pdp.apc have nothing to offer him when ameachi is his arch rival in Rivers

Tinubu worked for Jonathan in 2011 and ACN in the other elections. It’s been done before. Same was attempted by AD in 2003, although on that occasion it backfired but I think people have learnt from that lesson. Tinubu has supported other PDP candidates or candidates in other parties, a good example being Fayose. So this thing is not new.

festacman:
Not a bad choice in terms both qualifications and presence. However, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed is politically speaking, very lightweight both nationally and locally.

Looking dope, polished and elitist is good but Nigerian politics is akin to a fight in the jungle. I am not sure what his association with Northern youths has been to use them as his support-base and foot-soldiers. Can the 'Northern street' readily identify with him? Moreso, when that street is largely illiterate and helplessly gullible as the result of aloofness of young professionals like him.

Matter of fact, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed is not any different from the other Northern elites who in spite of their exposure and erudition just stay aloof, do their things and mind their businesses without doing anything socially to empower the young Northerners.

Nevertheless, if this is Peter Obi+Datti Baba Ahmed's time, things will fall in place on their own with little effort.

Rome was not built in 7 months. I don’t think they will win this time around but If they stick together and attract more credible people over the years into their ranks, they will provide a vibrant opposition and be primed to pounce should Tinubu mess up… Atiku cannot win! Buhari should never have had a second term if PDP has been remotely effective as an opposition.

Amumaigwe:
Peter Obi has really tormented you. Lol

Must everything always be insults and abuse with you people. If you lose this election, half of the reason will be his suppprters like you!!! I am simply telling you a fact. I have just paid you a complement for picking a very sound VP and you still manage to turn it into abuse!!!

Peter Obi has gone as far as he can go. He won’t win you any new supporters . If anyone is moving to your camp in future it will because they identify with Datti not Obi. Both the standard Northern voters he is on the ticket to address but also the intellectuals in the south who have seen enough of Obi and have failed to be impressed but can identify with Datti in a way they can never identify with Obi and his waffling, talking a lot but saying nothing!!!

I am not an Obi convert, I like Datti but if I vote for Ob (extremely unlikely), it won’t be because of Obi, it will be because of Datti because he is the kind of man, I want as president one day and I feel more comfortable with an Obi presidency with Datti on the ticket! Without Datti the thought of voting for Obi can never even cross my mind.

This is free information politicians pay millions to get from focus groups!!!

Datti is a very competent and a sound mind. Very articulate and he understands and dissects the issues without waffling or changing the topic. He gives the Obi ticket the credibility it NEVER had.

It will take a lot more for me to switch to Labour but if he wins I won’t be afraid of an Obi presidency with Datti on board……and that’s a big shift!!! I would certainly prefer Obi/Datti to Atiku.

To the Obidients, trust me your star man isn’t Peter Obi, it is Yusuf Datti. If you want to stand any chance of winning the unconverted stop sending Peter Obi to interviews and start sending Datti instead!!!! He should be the face and the voice of the campaign. He’s your star boy!!!!

Akwa Ibom has the advatange of being a relatively virgin state with Oil money to fund greenfield infrastructure projects. It has the opportunity to design and position the state for the 21st century without the encumbrances encountered by many other already developed haphazard states with crumbling infrastructure. I like what I have been seeing in states like Cross river and Akwa Ibom since the days of Alpabio.

Everlastingson:
We know that the your goal , you APC, is to keep Nigerians suffering forever but e no go work. So now na Obiano be best Governor? Let me tell you, if na Obiano dey contest this Presidency we won't support him. Do you know that Obiano, immediately he handed over to Soludo, tried to run away to US but efcc stopped him? Why was he running? But do you also know that 9 years after Obi left office he has been in Nigeria and the efcc has not so much as invited him? Abeg find another lie.

I made an edit to my post before you posted please read again, instead of abusing us please tell us what your principals legacies are and why he is the man…..that’s all!!! No need for insults!!!!

Reproduced below:

casualobserver:
The Atiku camp can tell you despite his K leg this this and this is Atiku’s legacy in 8 yrs as VP, the Tinubu camp can tell you despite his K leg, this this and that is what Tinubu has achieved and these are his legacies. Everybody has K leg, so we will ignore Peter Obis K leg but instead of resorting to emotion and insults and calling non supporters haters, please tell us what are Peter Obi’s legacies that make him the messiah, noting we all can’t afford to make another mistake…that’s all!!!!!

When Kwakwanso said you don’t know how to play politics, you abuse and insult him…this is a man you wanted as your VP. You are here because of your actions over the last 7 years insulting people up and down. Instead of you to chart a new path and convince people by showing the merits of your candidate, you resort to more insults. Clearly you feel you have enough votes in the Obidient movement to get the majority votes and 25% in 24 states to take Obi to Aso rock, in which case carry on insulting everybody as you don’t need our votes. But IMHO, you are just lending credence to what Reno is saying, Good luck with 2023!!!!

Everlastingson:
Why so much hate and crookedness? Remember you will reap what you sow. Na natural and Divine law that every man must reap what they sow. Okay, tell us about Obi's fraud, lies, ineptitude, and involvement in SARS killings you accused him of.

There are Obi supporters from every tribe but I know you are Ibo. Once someone doesn’t agree with them they refer to it as hate, you know it’s an Ibo man. Everything to you is hate. Once anyone doesn’t agree with you it is hate, that is why 62 years you’ve never smelt the presidency.


Someone just opened a thread and comprehensively listed and posted the achievements of Obiano with pictures. We have been asking you to tell us what Obi did in Anambra, you never do all you do is abuse and say go and verify…go and verify what?

You are the underdogs, you are the ones who need our votes, you are the ones who need to convince us. Show us his achievements!!!!! When we say he was a mediocre governor with nothing to show, your job to is to disprove it. With evidence!!!!

When we say Obi did nothing with IGR, we provided evidence, when we say he lied, we provide evidence, when we say he is a key factor In the genesis of the SARS menace, we provide evidence etc etc. if we are wrong and you can correct us we will acknowledge. If you look at my post history, you will find where I acknowledged that his claims about the brewery were actually true at the time he made it. We have no agenda, we are only interested in truth. Earlier today I said Datti is a very credible VP and will give credibility to the Obi ticket. We will acknowledge truth and facts but we cannot be bullied by emotional supporters who have put their brains in sleep mode.

The Atiku camp can tell you despite his K leg this this and this is Atiku’s legacy in 8 yrs as VP, the Tinubu camp can tell you despite his K leg, this this and that is what Tinubu has achieved and these are his legacies. Everybody has K leg, so we will ignore Peter Obis K leg but instead of resorting to emotion and insults and calling non supporters haters, please tell us what are Peter Obi’s legacies that make him the messiah, noting we can’t afford to make another mistake…that’s all!!!!!

hakeem4:
I do not know why omokri is really pained about obi. We all no obi has no chance of becoming second not to talk of winning this election.

Many of us know he can’t win, we just can help but comment on how a fraud like Peter Obi is being painted as a messiah despite his past record of ineptitude and lies, not to mention the role he played in SARS killings!

All you young endsars protesters supporting Peter Obi, this is his legacy…watch!!!!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_tMPVmebQI

I agree, His track record suggest he will be worse than Buhari!

His VP is a very very sound intellectual mind and he gives the Obi ticket credibility. I watched 1 interview from him and Just 1 interview I heard what I want to hear from a president, what I have never heard in Almost 6 years of hearing Obi’s ramblings starting from his time on the platform. A man who actually understands and is actually able to articulate the issues without waffling!!!!!

I would like to see Datti in Aso rock, he is actually a sounder mind on the issues than Osinbajo IMHO. However, I certainly have absolutely no confidence in Peter Obi. He is another disaster waiting to happen….though having Datti on the ticket May mitigate that if he is actually given any power!!!

I am no Obi suppprter but Datti on board makes the Obi ticket sellable. I would now rate Ob/ Datti as 2nd choice from no chance in hell. His rating has just shot up massively. The question now is whether he can get votes.

Women who reveal cleavage are women who have nothing to offer a man other than sex/sexuality and feel that sexuality is what they have to entice men. Real women don’t!

Unfortunately many of them don’t realize it has the opposite effect. They only attract men looking for sex and drive away husbands. Men do not desire as a life partner a woman who shares her assets with the world!

Who are these idiots?

Skinkerjnr:
U are an idiot for linking Peter obi to James nwafor

A man was on Arise news, and he said Peter OBi gave the shoot on sight order to SARS to MASSOB and that all those bodies are MASOB members. He also said that it is the Shoot on sight order that many governors gave SARS that have them the cover to kill people anyhow because they know they have cover. It is rather ironic that the same ENDSARS youth are now supporting Obi. The man who have SARS order to shoot on sight!!

Watch the video of the man explaining Peter Obi’s link to Nwafor, shoot on sight and sars here:

Mrkumareze:
Stop saying rubbish, we all lived in anambra, we know how life is in general during Peter Obi.. roads and drainage were well constructed in every community. Sanitation was cute, Agboros were no where like it was during Obaino.
Many factories came into existence as a result of Obis government .. from bridge head to ogbinike axis, we all know how it was before obi came, even upper Iweka towards owerri Road...

Modi..I went to awka last month to catch fun, I was disappointed. No single motorable road, our ever busy Abakirike street has become a nightmare. Driving through temp site to Isu, I spent over 3 hours on traffic.
I left awka in shame, n never to visit anytime soon cos I nearly lost my vehicle suspension system there ...
The criminals Anambrarians are suffering today is a legacy Obaino left. His wife recruited all Touts available to her, made them Agboros, every junction, express n non express road and markets became their point of extortion. Keke and bus drivers became their victims ..
Its countless the number of time Truck drivers protested the contanst harassment and accident caused by Obaino's agboros..
Please, no one should remind us of Obaino cos even Buhari is a Saint, compared to him...

This is what we say about Peter Obi. Somebody just posted the achievements of Obiano, he listed the achievements and provided pictures. When we ask you to post the achievements of Obi, all you do is say “stop posting rubbish” “go and verify”…..go and verify what?

Ibos should stop being so sensitive to constructive criticism. You can twist what Kwakwanso said anyway you like but the fact is Ibos have never won a National election in the history of this country in 62 years of trying....clearly you are doing something wrong. The man isnt talking about who is a better manager, even Northerners will tell you their leaders have failed them. The man is talking about winning elections!!!

this is why we say always look at a man's record before you elect him. Does he have experience of governing or experiance as a technocrat (theory). If he has governed before how did he perform? if he hasnt governed what experience of creating wealth, creating jobs etc does he have, how successful was he?

omohayek:
You have put the crux of the matter beautifully in the emphasized passage above. I can understand young people feeling fed up with seeing the same old faces running again and again, but what's the point of bringing in a new face if it turns out to be even worse than the old one? This mindset of wanting change for change's sake - never mind the specifics - is what brought about disasters like Trump's presidency, Brexit, or the eloquent law professor in Tunisia who was swept into power as a "man of the people" and promptly revealed himself as a dictator.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kais_Saied

Peter Obi's unwillingness to commit himself to any clearcut positions on issues hardly makes him out as a "breath of fresh air" who will tackle established interests, even leaving aside all the shady dealings in his political career that are currently being glossed over by his supporters. Obi is afraid - rightfully I believe - that as soon as he starts taking clear positions, his followers will no longer be able to treat him as a blank slate upon which they can project any of their own fantasies. But if he's so afraid of alienating supporters now, how will he find the courage to do so when in office, at which point real-world consequences will be at stake, not just mere daydreams?

Sometimes I wonder if he really wants to be president or is just riding the wave of popularity to see where it takes him, hence his lack of strategic thinking and preparedness both in terms of a master plan or a plan to ascend to the presidency. His decision to dump PDP to me shows bad thinking, his decision to join labour again poor thinking, his decision not to be Kwakwanso's deputy...again poor strategic thinking. if he thinks he is going to be president in the current mood of the nation as the head of the ticket, he is deluded. His fans are in the south, the votes are in the North!!!

Peter Obi's supporters in PDP would IMHO have turned Tinubu into the underdog, especially with his muslim-muslim ticket dilema, yet he snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and ported to labour, a party with no structures and no heavyweights, no governors, no parliamentarians, no Northern strangle hold. he turned down the offer of VP to Kwakwanso who would have given him 1) credibility amongst non Obi supprters (I heard Kwakwanso speak the other day, he is a sound mind) and support in the North.

How you want to run for presidency in 7 months and appear on national TV without a coherent plan or at the very least a clear position in principle on the burning issues is befuddling. Even I who is not running can reel out what I will do if I assumed power tomorrow because for years, I think all the time of Nigeria's problems and solutions, I can tell you how many Km of roads in what period and how many jobs will be created by associated industries as a result of huge road projects, quarry, agriculture timber etc which industries i want to revive how they interconnect, How I have a rail plan but All the steel used must come from the Nigerian steel industry, so we must revive steel plants as a matter of priority. How i intend to remove subsidy amongst other avenues to fund these projects, my plan to revive universities and make the top tier Universities fee paying to stop the forex we spend every year to send our children abroad and give schorlarships if and when required to qualifying students etc etc. A presidential candidate should be able to come on Tv and say things like these 7 months to an election!!!!! The days of "The Platform" are over,nobody is interested in wikipedia statistics, people want to know decisively what your plans are!

You are not on TV to sell yourself to your supporters, you are on TV to convince the skeptics, your supporters are already in the bag. You dont convince skeptics when you appear on national TV without a plan skeptics have no emotional connection to you so they see through BS unlike supporters. 2) He clearly hadnt anticipated the questions and prepared himself for the possible questions, which shows, not only are you unprepared but you dont have people around you who are prepared and can prep you for interviews. Again just like his decisions making vis PDP,NNPP, all he ends up doing is show a man who doesnt think things through but relies on blagging his way through.

I dont understand how a presidential candidate appears on TV without having ready made answers on burning issues in the land. If i were a presidential candidate from the Se i would have sat down with my advisers and focus groups before any television interview and have ready made answers for questionslike

1. State police,
2. Insurgency,
3 . restructuring
4. Subsidy
5. A guiding principle and outline (if not specifics) for how to grow the economy and a target growth rate
6. IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu (because I am fromthe SE)

etc

if I dont have answers (I shouldby now) I wont appear on TV else I destroy my campaign before it starts like Dan Qualyle. You mess up on Tv and sometimes you never recover from it in the eyes of the people you need to convince. gain I stress you are not appearing or campaigning to convince your supporters...they are already in the bag!!!

Paullo19:
He neither said yes or no with reasons..so if u read well and u are able to comprehend, u would understand what he meat by if there's alternative.

You dont think a serious candidate should by now know if there is an alternative or have a plan by now for an alternative...7 months to the election? ..no? or he going to travel to Saudi to learn that one?

be under no illusion the economic fortunes of Nigeria are hinged on subsidy removal, we are currently spending the equivalent of 5 Lagos to ibadan rail projects every year on subsidy! Subsidy is consumption while the productive sectors of our economy use diesel where there is no subsidy!! So dont let anyone fool you, no subsidy removal, no infrastructure, no investment in education , no economic growth. So any presidential candidate who doesnt have a plan by now on subsidy, security (state police) and restructuring is not serious.

Paullo19:
U don't know how to read ND understand..that's your problem

and you that understand please tell us because he neither said yes or no
