I didn't ask you to lecture anyone. I only asked you simple questions to which you haven't answered any.

How does his professional and political life as you have outlined attest that he is going to be the only intelligent president we ever had?

How is Tinubu development centric?

If becoming treasurer of Mobil is so magical to you, Yakubu Gowon became Nigeria's head of state at 31years. How does Tinubu becoming Mobil treasurer now become a criteria to be president?

If he masterminded an opposition party to become a winning party, how does that demonstrate that he deserves to be president? Did he mastermind the opposition party to become a winning party for the benefit of Nigerians of for his own selfish interests?


Who are the intelligent people he utilises to fill critical positions and what are those positions?

You mentioned osinbajo. How did osinbajo use his intelligence which you say Tinubu saw in him to move nigeria forward?

Tinubu has been boasting that he made buhari president. Is that an example of Tinubu utilising intelligent people to fill critical positions? Is there anything intelligent in buhari?

What never before seen waste management techniques did Tinubu introduce? Did it make Lagos squeaky clean?

Pls who owns BRT?

U mentioned "strong IGR drive". Can you pls give me a brief on alpha beta?

Which road construction did Tinubu carry out in Lagos that has never been done before?

How does returning schools back to the owners become an achievement? Did Tinubu do the owners of the returned schools a favour?

You are talking of "bond strategy to finace infrastructure" yet you are saying he had strong IGR drive. What is that bond strategy? Can you pls explain it?

You are calling Enron deal achievement? Pls where is the Enron power plant? Can you tell me where it is located and how many MW it is supplying and to whom?

Pls what is the free trade that is presently taking place at lekki free trade zone?

What happened to eko Atlantic and railway? I don't understand.

So Tinubu fought battles against PDP. What should we do about that? Awolowo fought many battles against Tafawa Balewa and spent years in prison for that. Obasanjo & yar'adua found themselves in prison for opposing abacha. So which battles did Tinubu fight that you are sounding as if no body in the history of Nigeria has ever done so?

Which development have the LCDAs spread in Lagos?

i repeat none of the former presidents can buckle Tinubus sandals when it comes to intelligence, if you disagree, prove to me otherwise or keep shut. I made my assertion with my own facts.

I am not going to lecture you on what you can find on your finger tips.

you can keep deceiving yourself asking questions to no end.

I am talking of an accomplished professional, you are referring to opportunistic secondary school graduates who joined military and plotted coups to become head of state. Can Abacha be employed as a common clerk in a multinational company?.
Research Nadeco and the frontline actors to identity Tinubus effort against the military.

Buhari was the only candidate that could have defeated the incumbent in 2015, he was not the best, but the optimal candidate. It takes intelligence to know your limit and use the tools available. Nigeria was tilting towards a one party state, at a point failure PDP was controlling 31 out of 36 states.


There is no magic bullet to Nigerias issues. The fallacy of most of your questions is you are clever by half and asking open ended questions that you can find answers on google. I am not paid to lecture you.

How is Tinubu "highly cerebral and development centric"?

How is he going to be the only intelligent president we ever had?

His professional life and political life attests to that.

He rose professionally with Arthur Andersen & Deloitte as a professional and joined Exxon Mobil to become its treasurer barely 40 years old.

He masterminded an opposition with a seed of one state of Lagos after 2007 general election to become a winning party in a space of 8 years.

He mainly utilises intelligent people to fill critical positions, something not common with an average Nigerian politician. Little wonder people even want the Osinbajo he annointed as VP to take over as president in 2023.

He was visionary as a lagos state governor from 1999-2007 and masterminded a strong IGR drive that many state govts now copy. Waste management techniques, transportation BRT schemes and road construction, even education where some missionary schools were returned to missionaries, millenium schools e.t.c, investment e.g Econet deal, bond strategy to finace infrastructure, power plant project e.g Enron deal, lekki free trade zone, eko atalantic, railway. E.t.c some where. He was fighting many battles as an opposition governor against a PDP controlled by Obasanjo who i can beat my chest is not halfway as intelligent as a Tinubu. Some allocations for Lagos state were seized during his tenure because he was smart to create Local council development area to spread development.

I have studied him enough to understand this is surely an intelligent person.

OmoEpe:
I have the video(It is refusing to upload on Nairaland) where the MF said it's worth $100m with his OWN MOUTH on national television

This guy actually has a mental conditions that makes him lie impulsively

He is under the oppression of a strong Demonic lying force, he needs to undergo immediate deliverance session.

The video is on the front page. He said it in the uploaded video. He is covering lies with lies.

plaindealer:
Pandora liar clearly said and beat his chest that he brought international breweries to Nigeria when in fact international breweries was established in Nigeria in 1971 by Lawrence Omole.

How do you bring something that's already in Nigeria into Nigeria.

Oga Pandora why now? Den take lies swear for you?

i heard that and i was shocked. They have a brewery in Osun state, Ilesha for quite a while. This man must be taking his followers for a fool.

But the video shows he clearly said that. This is a serious integrity issue.

blowjohn:
Obi was impeached?

so you dont know he was impeached?. one begins to wonder what the Obi adherents know about the candidate they are supporting.

I have always maintained Tinubu is highly cerebral and development centric, he also combines that quite well with the dexterity of politics. he is in a class of his own. He is going to be only intelligent president we ever had.

Talking 2023 politics, Obi needs to get stronger in the SS and SE though, it will be to Tinubu's gain. Tinubu will win in the SW,NW, NC.
NE will be a battleground.
The votes differential from SW, i believe will have close to 60% voters turnout with his main opponent in the PDP will offset PDP gains in the SE and SS. Likewise the vote differential in NW will offset PDP NE wins with remainder. NC will be an icing on the cake. The politics will play out in the next 8 months. While a lot can change in a day, i have never failed with the geopolitical analysis of presidential elections.

Paullo19:
The airport you are talking about, obiano came out to tell us he did it with the money Obi saved for the State..obj in an interview as it then said he can't allow his running mate to be taken for trial then..and the same set of criminals have been to the ones in power since then..how then do u think they will look into into those fraudulent activities...they are same set of thieves moving from APC to PDP and then back...

I wont subscribe to dem say dem say. Show me any where Obiano stated Obi money was used to build airport. Someone who is notoriously known to lie with statistics since the VP debate in 2018 can hardly be trusted. "The cable" is not the usual Nigeria print, they did an investigate journalism and crosscheck Obis claim of investing $20 million to now worth $100million. The stats shows a terrible performance. Obi quoted his investsment in dollars and not Naira, even if we cut him some slack for depreciated value of Naira

As of last month, Obi was still in PDP. I am not discussing party at this time. I am simply saying he is not what some superficial youths on social media is painting him to be. He is clearly médiocre. His investment is also self centred as there is a report stating his family ties to the company he invested in. He was saving money and refusing to borrow in a state with large infrastructural deficit. A road contract worth 5 billion in 2010 is now maybe 15 billion to get the same road fixed. Nigeria has never had an intelligent president, Tinubu is the nearest chance if he doesnt suffer any mental decline as he has obviously shown signs of physical illness.

When people say Buhari didnt perform as expected because he was sick, i tell them, you can not give what you dont have, it is not because of Buharis health.

Paullo19:
That is the tinubu u are trying to sell to us?

Fraud cases since 1998 that PDP that was in power from 1999-2015 could not subtantiate. He is now out of power since 2007. So for 8 years 2007-2015. They could not try him and make him pay.

I am critical thinker and not swayed easily. Sahara reporters owner is a presidential candidate and has increasingly been throwing shades on all the frontline candidates. I deal with facts and figures. Obi imvestment in Naira value has only increased marginally. Obiano did better with creating value with the airport and bridges built in Anambra. Obi did next to nothing with Anambra IGR. I took time to study his tenure from 2006-2014. Nigeria badly needs someone who can astronomically increase revenue, while putting an end to fuel subsidy to stop one of the biggest leakage.

Let me break your heart if you are open minded, he installed his crony from Fidelity Bank as a successor(Obiano) thinking he can control him but they fell apart in little time.

Hisbah21:
Nigerians are just looking for someone because of the hardship this current administration brought us. but Peter Obi has nothing to show,shout,abuse,tag and say anything u like. Peter Obi is not better than the others still a failure as the rest.. continue shouting OBIEDIENT,remember election is not done on social media. The party that doesnot even have a campaign office... mark my word Obi will never be the president in 2023.. wailers 1-2-3

i can bet it easily. Tinubu is abundantly more intelligent and a better administrator than a Obi.

It is surprising how people get carried away with social media fad. Most people criticising Tinubu have not heard him speak or xrayed his life before politics objectively. He came from the private sector as a professional to Politics. Anyone who can rise with a multinational like delloite and Exxon mobil is not a joke. He combines the sagacity required in politics with a rare intelligence in political actors needed for development.

That he is continually smeared since the last 15 years or thereabout is because he was the face of opposition for a while and later made his party defeat an incumbent with a political dexterity that is not usual.

Smithkline200:
You are very dense and obviously will never grow in your life if you think APC just came up.

Lemme school you:


Some well groomed youths are saying Labour Party has no structure.
And I keep saying, it takes a day to birth a king.
APC didn’t come from the blues,

APC is a coalition of:
ACN (Tinubu)
ANPP (Ogbonnaya Onu) and
CPC (Buhari).

They came together to form APC in a day, and even when APC emerged, people called them “no structure” and they grew into what they are today.

I can tolerate uneducated people saying “no structure in Labour Party”.
But an educated person talking about “no structure” in Labour Party deserves a holy cane �

Most of these people do not even know the emergence of APC, but freely bullying others.
The A is for Acn
The P is for anPP
The C is for Cpc.
That was how the coined the Acronym to gave it an All Progressive Congress.


Please no man is an island, everything started in just a day!
Same way APC gained structure,
Other parties can form an alliance too with Labour and become a force like APC.

APC did not come from the blues, they had structure of governors and other elective posts from ACN, cpc and even Apga.

They had at least 9 governors at the start and later joined by 5 dissenting pdp governors.

The youth need to understand what political structure means for presidential election is the message i want the 2023 presidential election to pass across.

Obi can create a movement, but he can create one to start by winning few elective posts in 2023(governors and senators). He is creating noise in social media largely fuelled by Southerners (70% of those from SE) in about 10 states.

2023 is largely PDP vs APC in terms of presidential election. It is too late for any other party to win at the polls. To state otherwise is to not understand the political terrain of the country.

Apc is profiting the most from the Obi candidacy. To be sincere, i will stop making any explanation on this forum about Obi candidacy for the next 8 months as i am rooting for Tinubu over Atiku.

Multiplier7:
Whether he edited that thing or not, believe me that's exactly what's gonna happen in 2023.

The West will reject the emergency of Peter Obi as the winner of the 2023 Presidential election which will shook the existence of Nigeria as a Nation. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will be released because of this.

Bookmark this post for future reference!

i give it to you guys, you all believe your delusions so strongly. Buhari is Jibril from Sudan.

Mugun. You modified a post from 2016 to lie.

Onyeigbo10000:
PETER OBI IS NOT AN IGBO PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.

It is infinitely wrong to look at PETER OBI as an IGBO presidential candidate. I will tell u why.

When u drive ur car to a mechanic workshop, u do not worry about d tribe of the mechanic especially so, if u are assured of his competence. When u go to a hospital for an important surgery, u do not worry that the team of medical experts are not drawn from ur tribe, u want to live and whoever will give ur health the needed boost is welcome.

Hunger has no tribe. And, hunger has no religion.

Poverty has no tribe. And, poverty has no religion.

Acute sickness has no tribe. And, acute sickness has no religion.

Today, Nigerians are hungry, poor and sick. The majority of Nigerians are below d poverty line. Many have no access to good medicare. These issues cut across all tribes and cultures.

How do we solve the problem? How do we arrest the steady descent into hunger, poverty and sickness? Do we vote for the person who will likely win or do we vote to change the narrative? If u vote for the person who will likely win, but whom u know will not deliver, that makes u PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE because u are joining hands with our oppressors.

We must vote to change the narrative.

Just as u don't ask if the mechanic is from ur village or if the doctor is of ur tribe, we would not look at PETER OBI as an Igbo; we look at him as the mechanic who will put our economy in perfect shape, we look at him as the doctor who will rescue our economy from imminent and fatal collapse.

If u are not happy that no serious effort is being made to make our educational system functional and effective in the new era, then vote PETER OBI.
If u are not happy that we are borrowing to service debts and to fuel consumption then vote PETER OBI.
If u are not happy that most youths are unemployed and unemployable then vote for PETER OBI.
If u are not happy about the epileptic nature of electricity then vote for PETER OBI.

The question u must answer is: would u allow ur beautiful car to remain unusable because d mechanic is Igbo? Or, would u rather die than allow an Igbo expert to take care of our health?
Do u hate yourself that much, to allow poverty to destroy ur children when there is a genuine and legitimate way out through PETER OBI?

All youths must act now.

This is d last month for getting the PVC. We, the youths demonstrated in Lekki. What happened? They sent soldiers to kill us. The time has come for us to get involved in a way that they cannot kill us. Get ur PVC and get ready to flush these parasites in our nation away. We cannot miss this golden opportunity.

Let the youths arise!
Nigerians must reclaim their land.

he is an igbo candidate, packaged on social media as the next best thing after sliced bread. As Anambra state governor he was not outstanding if we use development index of a state to judge a governor.

He failed to increase the internally generated revenue of the state. Little wonder there was no appreciable infrastructural development in his state from 2006-2014.

His scorecard on health was also failure or was he not one buying Keke Marwa as ambulance? Did Doctors in his state not go on strike for over 9 months?

He said he is a trader, did Onitsha market witnessed any remarkable development in his tenure?

Did Ebonyi state, the SE state with the least revenue not show signs of development.

The Obiano he imposed on APGA from his fidelity bank had way more to show in terms of infrastructural development in 8 years than him.

Pandora crime and over a quater of a billion naira found in his vehichle in 2013 all tell me this is no saint, but a sly man.

Ibos on social media attack anyone not supporting Obi. By the way 70% of the so called social media supporters are ibos.

If Yorubas dont see through this Ibo deception, shame on them.

Ibos will still predominantly vote PDP(60%) in SE states. It is a culture of my way or the highway.

How this Peter Obi suddenly became a saint suprises me. For Yorubas who may get swindled by the social media movement. Peter Obi imposed his successor Obiano a management staff from his Fidelity bank on APGA, but ibos are quick to accuse Tinubu of doing same. He is not as intelligent as a Tinubu, I can bet easily on that.

Grandmmaster:
Tinubu don win this thing.. Oga!, who your not stepping down help...
Overall nah Peter Obi go win this coming 2023 election because the youth and many who are tired of this APC and PDP bullshits are solely behind him.. Let all these ones continue to waste their time and money here

social media youths on twitter are deceiving you. They are called noisy minority for a reason.

You know that lousy noise maker in a class of 50 that is always seeking attention that is the case of the obi. At least 2 of 3 people canvassing for Obi are ibos on the social media space. In fact most ibos not quite active online are voting either PDP or apc.

All these old men whose ego can not cash the cheques they write.

Their prayer is to see Tinubu fail, so they can say we told you.

They are not in anyway political adept, and talk more than do what is necessary.

If not for Tinubu, maybe we would dangerously be a one party state now with PDP controlling all 36 states. PDP was controlling 31 states as at 2007 election. He masterminded a relentless opposition with ACN recovering edo, ekiti, Osun from PDP by 2010, as at this time, the main opposition party ANPP was increasingly getting weaker.

The Afenifere shot themselves in the leg in 2003 presidential election / gubernatorial election under AD. Tinubu was the only surviving AD governor after warning of the consequences of alliance with Obasanjo in PDP.

Afenifere can not rewrite history, they are weak and have shown themselves to be featherweight.

If Tinubu fails today or in the general election, history will be kind to him as the man who stood up when it mattered. A doer not a talker.

Tinubu's foresight to form alliance very early with the necessary North is tomorrows joker.

The Show of shame by the SE, spearheaded by OUK will be televised. He is the C in C of the south saboteurs.

Politics requires strength and it surpasses bitterness and hatred.

The SE APC caucus is championing another 8 years for the North in person of Lawan. I hope the SW can see through all of this. It was not much different with SE PDP as they also ganged up against a Southerner in favor of a Northerner.

For the SE politicians, i hope when Tinubu wins they wont have an entitlement mentality.

If the South did not have a strong candidate in person of Tinubu, the APC northern cabals may succeed with the northern coup.

Lets assume what he was told by his dad is true, so because as Lagos State Governor he jokingly refers himself as Eko, he is a demented egomaniac.

If many had a quarter of power and influence he had, we know how it will end.

The print media is not tired of manipulating the readers even on the day of primaries.

How some people overrate their noise shocks me. It obviously shows lack of awareness. How can a country with 36 states and FCT, some short sighted youth simply believe that a social media noise from less than 10 states with virtually no presence in other states translates to a supposed victory. The only chance a party different from APC or PDP wins 2027 presidential election is a merger of a breakway from any of the 2 major political parties. I mentioned 2027, it is not a mistake.

Whether Fulani from Mali, Gambia, Senegal or wherever, they have accomplice from Fulani from Nigeria. Enough of the Fulani barbaric 18th century ideology. I hope Southerners can see and not be sleepy. No Fulani herdsmen should be allowed in any settlement in the South.

iCauseTrouble:
Economically, Nigeria has an expenditure problem not revenue. So why not start with a president with a proven track-record of managing resources? Peter Obi is sitting competently ahead of everyone else.

Nigeria has more of a revenue problem than expenditure issues.

We are not going to make any appreciable progress with the type of revenue we make with sizable part of it coming from oil sales. I opine we need at least 4 times more what we currently generate.

One biggest Expenditure drainer is fuel subsidy, that should be cut off starting 2023. Systemic Corruption is another, and it will take a while to witness any major reduction as Nigerians love their village thieves.

I maintain that Obi is overrated as he did not necessarily show depth as Anambra governor, yes he may he frugal which itself is not bad, but there was no tangible growth in revenue nor infrastructural growth. He wants to move Nigeria from Consumption to production, but he was not phenomenal in proving that in Anambra State. I have listened and studied his account of stewardship, i am not impressed. Beyond the waec performance of Anambra student

A tiny Ebonyi state with less financial resources have made great infrastructural strides even in the midst of oil doom.

PaChukwudi44:
Whether apc win 4 SS states or 5 Atiku would sweep the north and emerge president

He won't sweep the North, the APC structure is stronger than PDP in the North. Kwara, Benue, Kogi, Plateau, Borno, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Jigawa, Gombe, Kebbi e.t.c

Even Jonathan a christian Southerner under ruling PDP structure won against Buhari in some Northern states in 2011.

If and most likely if SW candidate (Tinubu the strongest)wins APC primaries, the voter turnout will increase massively in the SW, the region has the second largest voters. The SW, NW and NC will be won by APC. The SS and NE will be the battleground zone, which can go either way.

PaChukwudi44:
Even one polling unit in the entire SS and SE Tinubu won't even win

he does not need to win, the labour party votes will be votes pdp will lose. There will be large voter apathy in the SE. Apc will win at least 2 SS states. Take my statement to the bank.

Acn bloc left are Tinubu, Fayemi, Amosun, Osinbajo.
