I don't know where you guys are getting all this analysis from. If you guys believe that a it is only core Muslims that can win Elections in Nigeria then we should just believe that the North can rule Nigeria for Ever...We have always had a Christian president and Muslim vice so what do you mean Islam is not well represented? Are you saying Nigeria must have a Muslim president for the core North to accept that Islam is well represented? If all this analysis is true then all the party will just continue to present northern president for ever na after all southerners speak as if the only votes that counts is core North.

Na small man with phone. No mind am

Jiokejohn:
Without mincing words, I am surprise that the ruling party APC submitted a 'Place Holder'.

It gave credence to the rumour that APC has no plan for governance, but only to grab power. How can a ruling party be devoid of plans for smooth and successful transition of power in line with the law made by majority of their members in the National assembly? More so, it beats my imagination that a Politician with 'Life time ambition' of ruling Nigeria is without a plan for a candidate he will pursue such an ambition with having studied the peculiar nature of Nigeria politics for years, known his major opponent a week ahead.

I justify the position of Labour Party on a Place Holder because their Presidential Candidate, Mr Peter Obi emerged barely five days after joining the party hence the need for more time to strategize. BAT made it obvious in his viral video that it is the turn of Yoruba land and in Yoruba land, it is his turn. Forgotten to understand that a running mate is needed to fulfil the so call life ambition is a question on his preparedness for the job he is aspiring for. Issue of Muslim/Muslim or Muslim/Christian ticket is never an excuse owing to intrigues prior to 2015 election he was very part of.

Atiku Abubakar and PDP has shown truly that he knew and was prepared for what he is aspiring for.

Place Holder or no Place Holder, 2023 is becoming more interesting. The Third force is gaining more popularity.

You gave slack for Obi who got a ticket before Tinubu. I so much for equity.

Well done.

Orissodiq:
Lollllll.. What politic can not do does not exist... So some people can be calling northern - Eastern Alignment. Are they not fulani/hausa again? Are we now a good person, i tot Hausawa are not People be wit? Am still waiting for who will be vp.. Lollllll....

Some people go suplicate for cow because dem wan chip suya. We are watching in amusement.

Dem wan make illiterate Almajiri,backward , goro chewing, kunu sipping , Fulani etc etc to become VP.

What happens to the difference between light and darkness? What will mallam bring to the table? Inflated votes from cows and goats?

E be like film

Very interesting

[quote author= post=113948454]Obi will will all the states in former Eastern region including Delta and Edo, he will win middle belt and FCT, Obi will do credibly well in West his major hurdle is far north which his popular VP candidate will neutralise[/quote]Kpele, returning officer. Bookmark this post. I will remind you when you go back to your habitat as a born again secessionist and wailer

helinues:
He could have withdrawn from.the race and negotiate for VP position.

That's logical

Candidates face extreme push and pull scenarios that push them to their own detriment as you are suggesting but then, it's their choice.

Like joining a malfunctioning/ malnourished Labour party

helinues:
The problem is they are not doing things they are supposed to do and if you point out their flaws to them, you are automatically a threat.

Obi is a fine candidate to contest Nigeria election but he miscalculated by leaving Pdp. Him pairing Atiku this time would have given Pdp some edge ahead of Apc.

You don't blame people for their choices. They may have superior reasoning. Perhaps Obi dodged "Sifia pain" if he faced Atiku in PDP primaries. E get as e be o

Zikojukwu:
Hahaha, this guy wey just write thinks Nigerians are fools. Tinubu ke. Wake up.

Sorry to burst your bubble but you are the fool here,

Noblechykk:
Politics goes beyond this sentiment bro. I am Obi supporter too but tone down

Good point. Your compatriots should listen more. This gragra no dey work.

stansaintly:
Cubana chiefpriest, a prominent Nigerian young billionaire, has used his verified Instagram account to urge his fans to start praying to God for the likely merger of Peter Obi and Kwankwaso presidential tickets. According to the wealthy businessman, it will be similar to a collaboration between Davido and Wizkid, two prominent Nigerian musicians, or Cristiano and Leo Messi playing in the same football club. He claims there would be a complete shutdown across the country. Take a look at the photo he shared on his verified Instagram page, and wish and hope it comes to fruition.

let us put this in prayers, if this happens, we are good to go✔ it will be like a collab Davido and Wizkid or Cristiano and Leo Messi playing in one football club, everywhere go shutdown.”

Obi and Kwakwaso are going into a BIG BROTHER NAIJA should have been more appropriate. Una no serious

helinues:
Obi's presense would have at least increased the votes. You know that.

195 votes, just like it's only the candidate's friends and family
that voted for him

Why are you giving them false hopes?
Labour party is not on ground. Period. Encourage them to work harder

Owopariola01:
You still don't understand what you are saying.

Why are those tweeting online don't vote?
Answer that let's start from there.

Some have more thAn ten monikers, ..... Lol

mii4u:
Don't mind dem, dey don't reason well, LP is not as popular as APC or PDP but the name Peter Obi is on the lips of everyone. Let dem go by name and see the outcome.

Please build a wailing wall and be shouting Obi, Obi till 2023, it will not translate to votes. Go and build structures. Ballot Box is not in cyberspace. Obi will appear only once, except if you want him to be a candidate for all elective offices which is not possible. This kind of weird thinking is what creates wailers and unrepentant opposition when you are defeated at the polls

Dsalvo:
How about leading by example to make your own SE work first?

You parade the worst governors in Nigeria yet are always in the business of lagos and other SW States while you constsntly attack their governors and leaders .

Is that what will deliver a "working nation"?

You dey mind dem. Even for them to bring one candidate..... They cannot " work"

In my opinion, Obi's baggage is made more difficult to handle by his followership... a motley crew of rabble rousers, sabre rattlers, keyboard rattlers , born again secessionists, insolent youths and a malnourished/ malfunctioning Labour Party that has no presence in the existing political structure at whatever level. In addition, this followership has these "feel good" mentality that makes them listen only to themselves believing that the ballotbox is in cyberspace.
Whatever political contrivance they're trying to cobble is obviously incapacitated by time and the realities of the Nigerian situation.

There is work to be done. I see this movement when lessons have been learnt but not 2023. By then, the bystanders already mobilised will be able to channel their resourcefulness appropriately.

Frigga13:
Very easy to press igbos mumu botton

Same Reno Dey abuse all day is now making valid points to the igbo man

Stroke igbos ego and be their friend

Labour without structure is now a mojor party

Anyone knows the name of Labour chairman?

Oshiomole, not so✌����

QueenOfTheCoast:
he claimed to develop a big Lagos but failed to develop his small hometown.
after all they're insignificant this greedy political ambition.
such a man cannot be trusted.
we Nigerian youths reject him
charity begins at home.
may Tinubu never happen to this country Amen

Hehehehe

Show us ya village... Please

[quote author=Babaken post=113777377]chill bro don't take it too far Peter Obi is on a rescue mission if you vote any other candidate that's not Peter Obi is wasted vote but if you vote APC or PDP that person is enemy of the state. [/quote

Let him save himself first... From mad people like you

Babaken:
If Tinubu or atiku is the good thing you are talking about that means you urgent medical attention.

What Insolence!!!! .... We have options in other parties and there are over 50 of them.

Carry ya five minutes madness to your asylum as you need help more. Dem don really swear for you and you have confiRmed it

Babaken:
Don't take decisions that your children will blame you in future
Join the moving train Peter Obi is not for a particular part of the country is for all part of the COUNTRY he is on rescue mission.
Take buhari for example when South East was complaining about him they call it hate now
Everyone is suffering it buying bag of rice in high cost changing dollars in high rate price of fuel very high terrorists and bandit is now issue affecting the whole state things were hard during the time of Jonathan but not as this.

OBI IS A FORCE that will send greedy, Corrupt and old politicians out of politics then give the youth the chance to participate in government.



AM ON PETERSIDE

We are talking of candidates, you are putting forward a transitionary fellow wey dey waka pAss through a malnourished LAbour party like dem dey act inside Nollywood film.
Ballot box no dey cyberspace.

Make una dey mellow this "feel good" five minutes madness . failure staring you in the face and you refuse to accept.... After the polls now you become depressed and recalcitrant naysayers who never see good in anybody.

Abi dem swear for una?

Tomek09:
People vote not structure. It's a BVAS electronic close ballot system. There's no room for manipulation using incident form. Don't rule any party out yet.

Continue feeling good......

You reach people through structures and then there is a vote and a count... not so?

I am saying that there is no foundation and philosophy is dead on arrival.... and you may not want to hear it.... motley crew of naysayers, secessionists, and keyboard rattlers who have hitherto alienated various sections of this country with their insolence, bile, vitriol, and bigotry. The journey is a very long one, it started a long time ago and predated whatever contrivances they are trying to conjure. And their record as indicated here is evidence that they are the worst exhibition of the product they want to sell.

For now, they should feel good while it lasts.....

Khaleepha5681:
Hhh.

You are fuuny bro.

So you are just watching us,while you are sipping your cold Zo6o scrolling through.

Smart guy.

yES BUT ANY INSOLENCE........... FIAMMMMMM

AND MY PVC DEY DO PUSH UPS.........THIS KUNU/ZOBO SIPPING, FURA DRINKING, SUYA ROASTING, ALMAJIRI/GORO CHEWING GUY WILL ENSURE THE MISERY OF MANY GUYS HERE....... FIAAAAAAM

AntiMahdi:
It is quite unusual for a man like Peter Obi with all his accomplishments in his private ventures and public service not to hold any chieftaincy title.

I also found out that he isn't even an Ozor in his own village meaning his family lineage were probably excluded from any decision making body in his village.

Then there is this dead giveaway about the persecuted OSU people who form the bulk of Igbos who marry outside Igbo land owing to them being declared as untouchable outcasts by the highly discriminative and outdated OSU caste system. Obi's wife is not Igbo!

I am not in anyway ridiculing Peter Obi whom I admire for all his achievements ,modesty and gentleman disposition but rather needing clarification over this because the way and manner the Igbo political and so-called elites worked against his party (PDP) in 2019 can not be narrowed down to their envy and jealousy of Obi being handpicked by Atiku as his running mate.

So why exactly do the Igbo political and traditional leadership work against his joint ticket with Atiku?

As things stand now with the Obidient movement, not one single Igbo politician or traditional body is aligning with Peter Obi's campaign rather his movement is purely an organic grassroot one.

Please, please, please....... stop it.

Obi , and we all are first of all human beings before being anything else. We shall not bother ourselves to find out whether your own ancestors had two left legs.

OPPOSITION DOS NOT MEAN THAT WE SHOULD ABANDON DECORUM.

Khaleepha5681:
He just ran away.

His ancestors that used to wear leaves to cover up their nudity,he thinks we don't know.

Even colonial masters ruled us indirectly through our kings.

While others had not kings but village chieftains.

And those from Ile-Ife too were busy waiting for their own Messiah.

No be say we no fit reply any insolence, we prefer to stay one side ..... watching in amusement.

AntonVince:
The boldened part, babban karya ne.

Hausa Kingdoms were first mentioned by Ya'qubi in the 9th century and they were by the 15th century trading centers competing with Kanem-Bornu and the Mali Empire.


When did your ancestors leave their hunter/ gatherer existence?
Or even begin wear cloth sef? Not to even live as an organised society ?

9jii:
Remind me to come and bath with your tears after election.
Because I don't see reasoning in what you are saying

Abi !!!!!

LP has been invaded by a conclave of keyboard rattlers and idealists who think that the ballot box is located in cyberspace with "like" buttons permanently pressed.

How do you expect malformed/malnourished parties like LP/NNpp with no footprints in Local government, legislature, state government and physical presence , 8 months to polling date, to make any meaningful impact in the forthcoming elections?


No mind all these " I FEEL GOOD rabble rousers.....

Ghester:
I stand with Peter Obi

Sheer folly. How do you expect a party that has ño local government , legislator or state government to run for presidency?

Blind bats on the prowl.

Idiko1:
Any Igbo person who supports the candidature of Yoruba person in anything should be mercilessly flogged into confusion.

They will collect the money and receive the flogging..


No be so dem do their brothers for PDP.... Left them with only 15 votes....

EDOLUWA:
Not in Nigeria as at now will a party without a single Sitting governor win a presidential election.

You know say magicians plenty for Nairaland.

Chimaraymond455:
Northern elders right now:

Should we choose chibuike amechi or Jonathan as ApC candidate, or should we drop them, and pick tinubu or Osinbajo??

The north are in state of confusion now,

North: if we drop chibuike amechi or Jonathan a south southerners as APC candidate,
hope his south south people won't join the igbos to the Biafra agitations?

Since we already have atiku northerner as PDP candidate,
Let's give it to amechi or Jonathan
Atlest with this, his people won't see any reason to join the igbos even though they must loose to atiku in general election but let it look as if amechi or Jonathan is a choosing one by buhari and the north.

Question?:: what tinubu and Osinbajo??
North: you mean Yoruba people?

we know how to handle them,
just picked one Yoruba prominent man and make him a party national chairman Yoruba case will be over.

But Igbo is our problem,

we would have say okay let the south east have the 2023 president but we don't trust them,
They may revenge of what the north did to them in 1966,
No we won't allow the Igbos,
We will try withing our power to have south south and south west in our palms what ever it may take or cause us,
Once we achieve this, we can handle the Igbos

North is in state of confusion now.

There is no problem when we know whom we are definitely not voting for....look in the mirrot

MetaPhysical:
You are aware of the realities in sharia North, you are not a stranger to it, assuming you grew up in Nigeria. In addition to being a western educated Northern elite, Sanusi is also a muslim scholar. Add to the fact he is ex-Emir. Sanusi will understand that accepting to be second fiddle to Southern Christian is politically suicide for him and Obi, he will turn it down. So dont project political matches that cannot see daylight.

Did you not witness Atiku condemn Deborah's killing but hurriedly turned around and issued a denial?

Pair Obi with a practical match. Beside, why from sharia North, are there no muslims in North Central?

You never even get candidate., .. una dey select vice. ......

00FFT00:
The exact same thing APC and PDP are among soup ingredients.

We are talking of parties that have produced presidents, governors, legislators, and not waka pass presidential candidates like Peter Obi. Serious stuff, not Nollyood film clips
