Corridon:
Same way Nigerians gallantly stood under the rain yesterday morning to support Obi.

Story!

I am a Nigerian, and from Anambra state too.

I didn't stand under the rain to show suppoy for Obi.

Cypress042:
Grace defers, just know that man.

I dey wait for the grace sha....

Grace that he couldn't use to fix Anambra, Nigeria's smallest state.

Lest we forget, no be only one man dey get grace....

Beckham14:
Wike will not soften his stance if Ayu doesn't leave... I mean, who will trust a man who doesn't keep to his words.

Wike knows Atiku is trying to play a smart one by making that 2027 promise and the same Atiku has already anointed Okowa to take the baton from him.


Underate Wike at your own peril.

There is nothing Wike can do anymore.

He messed things up big time by fighting Secondus because of his selfish ambition.

It doesn't matter whether or not he supports Atiku.

It is either a win or loose for Atiku in the elections.

Was Wike not in the PDP when Jonathan lost? He can't make Atiku win or loose.

Atiku is too big for Wike. He can't handle Atiku.

Cypress042:
Why are you bittered, he's our incoming president and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

You guys said that about Saraki....and he couldn't win a common primary..

You supported Jonathan's reelection and he failed....

What of Atikulate of 2019?

Wait and see...2023 don near.

Cypress042:


Peter Obi has started making changes already even without being on seat. Commendable.

He's our incoming president.

Lol.

Peter Obi can be president elsewhere, not in Nigeria.

Governance is not all about empty talks, concocted statistics and barefaced lies...

What does he have to show for his 8 years as Anambra governor?

VeryWickedGoat:
He is simply trying to reap where he has been sowing for years.

Exactly!

And this is what pastors have been doing for decades....who will call them out like this?

Mandate2023:
But zombidients and mumudients said we should go and verify that obi has turned Anambra to small London that even d airport obiano built was with the money obi left behind

D only achievement of obi as governor we have seen is d hype on social media to make it look as if he did something but we've gone to verify we did not see anything....he only invested Anambra money into 'life beer' and also into some of his personal companies

I am from Anambra. I know the entire length and breadth of the state, from Ekwusigo to Orumba to Ayamelum to Anaocha to Awka to Oyi to Nnewi etc, 'cos I also had my higher institution education there.

Only blind people who do not know Anambra well will accept the nonsense that Obi fixed Anambra.

Obi performed abysmally as governor. He knows next to nothing about governance.

jayworld15:
You talked as if the development of Lagos started from 1999. In what year was most of these headquarters of multinational companies started from in Lagos? When was the national theatre built? The third mainland? Island development phases? Etc
Tinubu did his own part as those before him and after him. He never built Lagos. He only colonized it. Mind you, I'm in Lagos (Gbagada side).

Ki a barawa so otito Oro, ki n see tijaakadi. Temi ni pe, ko je Baba wa BAT, Peter Obi tabi Atiku, o je le je Kwakwanso, dibo gegebi ofin sewi.

Did Anambra start with Obi or Kano with Kwankwaso?

Can you tell me by how much Tinubu grew Lagos economy? Compare it with others who governed Lagos...

Do same for Obi and Kwankwaso. And if you can, talk about Atiku accomplishments in public office.

Being in Lagos doesn't make you knowledgeable about politics and governance in Lagos.

Do your research. Nobody is saying that Tinubu alone built Lagos. However, the fact remains that no other governor has as much influence as he has in Lagos. This is no fluke. Ask why this is so? He isn't the first or only person to have governed Lagos?

Who among his colleague governors of 1999 - 2007 are still talked about, let alone being considered for higher assignment.

The questions you asked aren't significant because I never said that he built the Third Mainland Bridge.... everyone knows Babangida did.

Strongdickfresh:
Take the card, enter the taxi but vote wisely.

Make sure you vote Peter Obi/Labour party.

If Tinubu/APC give you money, gladly take the money but vote for Peter Obi/Labour Party.

VOTE FOR PETER OBI/LABOUR PARTY

Peter Obi won't be president.

socialmediaman:
Ego, Self Centeredness, Disregard, Disrespect all combined! That's what's happening to your marriage. Your husband has had enough

I agree with you totally.

Women have a very high tendency to look down on their own man....

But go about kneeling, bending....saying 'Sir' to other men, mostly religious leaders.

Most women are very disrespectful to their men. Nothing dampens the love a man has for a woman than disrespect.

Imagine the OP acknowledging that she 'had heated argument' and even hung up on her husband. That should never have happened. No virtuous woman will allow communication with her husband degenerate into a verbal confrontation.

No man likes a 'challenge-like' approach to settling issues by his wife. Calmer, non-aggressive women have greater, positive influence and grip on their men.

This is arrant nonsense. You allow your man speak and you listen, even if you aren't in agreement with what he is saying. You could always find the perfect time to discuss your outlook and views about any issue, and make him see reasons why his position isn't the most appropriate, with love and respect.

You don't get angry when your husband is already angry, and then tell him off.

I am an advocate of care, appreciation and tenderness towards women, but I do not condone disrespect. I take it very seriously.

So OP, make effort to fix your marriage if you still want it, and endeavour to learn your lessons from this afterwards.

Get someone he respects alot to reach out to him, and help initiate a reconciliation.

I do not agree with those who think that your husband is childish in his actions. That is incorrect. What do you expect from a man who made effort to reach out to his wife for over two months, after a disagreement? What kind of woman begrudges and cuts off communication from her own husband for more than two months?

Why be say if women pay bills for one week or even a day sef, the whole world go hear am? Women matter don dey wan taya me sef.

I no go lie sha, most men don cast.

NaijaRoyalty:
You're right

Nigerians want Obi and Obi Nigerians will get insha Allah

Oga, I am a Nigerian, and I don't want Obi.

So, it is incorrect to say that Nigerians want Obi.

God1000:
in your dream bro

Peter Obi is the next president of Nigeria

Oga, na lie.

Peter Obi can't win.

jayworld15:
May God make Nigeria great. But before that materializes, vote wisely for competence, dignity and honesty. If any aspiring person to any political post doesn't have the third one, don't bother looking for the first two qualities. So, in a nutshell, vote good people in.

None of the candidates contesting for the presidency has any of the qualities of competence, modesty and dignity....not one.

You can hardly find any human with those qualities.

People should just look at their past records of performance in public office, and make the best choice.

As for me, I am likely not voting. Fashola / Zulum or Fashola / Marwa ticket was what I believe will be the best for Nigeria.

However, If I am compelled to pick one out the presidential candidates, I will go for Tinubu based on his past records.

Lagos is the most complex state to manage in Nigeria. Hence, having managed Lagos and still spearheading the massive improvements and brilliant initiatives ongoing there, viz LAGFerry, Lagos monorail, BRT, world-class transport terminals and interchanges etc, I believe that he is the most prepared for the job out of the ones available.

Go to Lagos, just two or three capital infrastructures eclipses all the infrastructures that you can find in other states....Lagos is mini Nigeria. Let's leave sentiments aside, I am from the SE, and I know that Tinubu is better that the rest.

Realist12:
We need to start asking real questions from these presidential candidate. With their previous offices what legacy did they leave behind. Enough of all these fake promises .

The youths are the most unsmart of all the age demographies in Nigeria.

They are exactly what the Hausa would call 'katon baza'.

What are we doing with our overwhelming numerical voting strength?

Like you intelligently pointed out, they are busy screaming 'Jagaban', 'Obidient', 'Atikulate', 'Kwankwasiyya'....instead of doing the simplest task of digging and verifying the critical achievements of these men in their past assignments, and placing them side by side against one another, to arrive at a constructive and smart choice.

yerokunphilips:
Am sure by now APC and PDP must have discovered that the Obi movement is more than just Internet movement or 4 guys in the room posting on the Internet. This is the kind of movement that will make all those selfish and wicked politicians know that Power belong to God and HE give it to the people . Very soon the wicked and selfish politicians will be disgrace with their stolen money . I think there's a divine touch in this if not why is it that both major parties are having serious internal prolems from Muslim Muslim ticket , to Wike and Atiku war . They are both destroying their respective party themselves THIS NATION WILL OVERCOME.

''...HE give it to the people''.



It is people with half-baked education like you that are keeping Nigeria grounded.

What were Obi's legacies as Anambra governor? Is he not a Nigerian politician? How well do you know Anambra? Have you used any of the access roads into the Onitsha main market? Where are the roads Obi claimed to have built in Anambra?

Atiku Kwankwaso and Tinubu can be evil but Obi can't. If he was so much of a saint, what was he doing running with Atiku in 2019?

Obi is a billionaire as all of you know and believe, have you questioned how he made his billions?

hisgrace090:
God is with Peter Obi to victory' as hes going to be the best president that have ever happen to this country.
After his tenure Nigerians will ask him to continue to avoid plunging back to poverty as it is now.

Na satan come dey with the other candidates abi?

Obi governed Anambra...is (was) Anambra Nigeria's best state, even during his tenure?

Abeg, make we hear word....no be today we don dey hear this kind talk.

[quote author=excel001 post=117069567][/quote]Religion is secondary to me.

Sorry....

hohafrank:
president.Where will he get his votes?Even in Lagos state,he is going to lose.
Mark my words.

Ok..I don mark am.

LeoDeKing:
The real deal separating men from boys about to start.

Rodents can continue gathering 78 clowns to constitute nuisance on the streets and be calling it 20 million march.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the next president of the Fed Rep of Nig. Any antelope not okay with that can go lie down on the rail track at Oyingbo when a train is approaching.

I no go lie, of all of them who want to be president, Asiwaju is the best prepared and experienced.

He is the one who has governed a state that looks closest to what Nigeria is like, especially in terms of economy, cultural mix etc - Lagos is a mini Nigeria.

He is rugged, stubborn and can make very tough decisions.

To a very large extent, he is feared and respected. He has shown to have the guts to take on the top guns, when the need arises.

I don't have a problem with the others, especially Atiku and Obi. I think Atiku is too selfish to be president. Someone who loses elections and abandons his party until the next four years...I can't take him seriously.

Tinubu is the most consistent of them all. For over two decades, he wriggled between AD, ACN and APC with almost perpetual tenacity and consistency.

As for Obi, I think he is full of warped ideas. He just wants to be president because he feels Igbos are marginalized. I think he, like most Nigerians, is caught up in the dangerous religious and tribal web of pettiness. He pissed me off big time when he started going from Dunamis to RCCG to Methodist.....he made it look like a contest between Christians and Muslims, which was not a good move at all.

In 2015, Buhari rather followed Osinbajo to RCCG thereby assuaging the concerns of Christians instead of visiting mosques across the country. That was strategic.

Just recently, Tinubu met with Christian bishops from Northern Nigeria.

Obi can't handle Nigeria. He couldn't handle Anambra, Nigeria's smallest state; and was impeached. He was only lucky to have returned. Obi talks too much. He does not have the tact needed for the top job.

As for Kwankwaso, I think he is too sectional to be Nigeria's president.

SpecialAdviser:
We await the declaration of Obi as next president of Nigeria and overall reformation that will take us to the promise land.

Saraaaaa

Obi won't be president.

Nobody is preparing to declare him.

He does not have the capacity to be Nigeria's president.

Someone who could not leave any significant landmarks as governor of Nigeria's smallest state wants to be president?

Celebrating mediocrity.

Rubbish!

. That’s why you have eyes and fingers. Read!! We shouldn’t be spoon feeding you every information.. not everyone came from poor background. Tomorrow una go ask if them born davido e land for music industry

Great!

Who was his father? And what businesses did he own that his son, Peter Obi, inherited?

It is silly to bring the Davido analogy. Who no sabi Davido papa?

Headachetoigboh:
So a former bank board chiarman and a billionaire business man can't afford private jet?
Like of Davido,Psquare etc can afford it but a man that made his billions on self struggling u are comparing him with old thieves.
Well,it's like u are lost. PO is a billionaire selfmade. He was a billionaire B4 he became governor unlike your Lagos God creator that made his via Lagos pocket,Atiku made his while in NPA, Kwankwaso made his when he was governor.
Give me business and companies owned by Atiku, Tinubu and Kwankwaso B4 the became Government officials

Nkogheri....that is what Igbos call posts like yours.

Selfmade billionaire....no wahala, but how did make the money? I mean his business antecedents.

Abi dem just born am, e become board Chairman of bank?

Massiveglory:
The simplicity is too much.
Op, there is a difference between flying a private jet on tax payers money and flying on your own personal sweat.

Hurricane tornado aka Guguwar obi is an uncommon politician.
It is the turn of Nigerians. We are the campaign council of Peter obi- Datti ahmed.

Who is flying a jet on public funds?

Atiku, Obi, Kwankwaso and Tinubu were all once top public officers.

How come only Obi is flying on his personal fund while others are flying on tax payers money.

Is he the only one with private businesses among them?

Is he the only one currently not occupying any public office?

Honestly, you didn't come across as rational with that post.

TINUBUISMAD:
He is multi billionaire in dollars. He can afford it

How did he make his money?

Double standard everywhere...

We can question Tinubu and Atiku's wealth....how did Obi make billions of dollars?

This is the irrationality of the Nigerian youth that everyone is talking about.

He was governor of Anambra for 8 years....no LGA elections....poverty index worsened under his watch....no account of LGA funds....left several contractors unpaid while leaving office.....and all you can say is that he can afford a private jet 'cos he is worth billions of dollars?

Penguin2:
You forgot to add that he’s the incoming Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Lol...

Who dash am.

Obi no fit win.

PresidObi:
Peter Obi is eminently qualified to be the president of Nigeria. All his results and certificates are public knowledge, anyone in doubt should head to the courts, till then, people should stop grasping at straws because it cannot stop them from drowning in the open seas of February 2023 elections.

Meanwhile, we are still waiting for a lot of answers on the following questions;

1. Where was Tinubu born?
2. Who are his biological parents ?
3. Where did he have his primary and secondary education ?
4. Where was he before he suddenly appeared in Chicago?
5. Is he a Ghost?

Those questions you asked about Tinubu are insignificant.

Obi's result is questionable. Don't be diversionary.

Truthdeypain:
Ogun kill you and your mother. Such shame and cowardice and slavery mentality you just displayed cannot be IGBO, you'll need a Circumcision of your balls and then your ethnic heart and then your tribalaistic hypothalamus and then of course, you'll do away with your shit eating habit, then maybe we might give you a chance to be an igbo man for one day. Till then have some shame and stick to your tribe. Oponu ode!

It is insanity like yours that has ensured that no Igbo man became Nigeria's president since 1966.

Not even the VP position has been occupied by an Igbo man since 1983.

Mark my word, when next the presidency is returning to the South in 2039, it is likely to go to the Southsouth with the way we Igbos continue to demonstrate gross political ignorance, ethnic disharmony and outright lack of strategic plan for clinching the presidency.

For a Hausa/Fulani to emerge as president, he 'strongly' needs either the Igbo or Yoruba. The Yoruba man needs the Hausa/Fulani or Igbo to emerge.

Even Buhari that many Igbos, that are unwell, think is uneducated and daft, understands this elementary political calculation...Buhari and Tinubu were never political associates before the 2014 merger of their parties, but Buhari very well understood this. And Tinubu too. They put aside their differences and worked together.

For the Igbo to continue to think that they do not need the Yoruba or Hausa/Fulani to ascend the presidency...then, they (we) must be building our castle in the air.

No be by to dey curse anybody wey talk wetin no sweet una o. You go curse, you go taya....nobody send you.

The Southwest is likely to grab 2023 due to the significance of their contributions to Buhari's emergence. The North would rather payback the collaboration and support by the Southwest than invest their votes on an Igbo presidency.

It is what it is....

Truthdeypain:
Get over it already you slowpoke. You are not IGBO, you sound super foolish and daft keep deceiving your idiotic fellows.

What exactly do you mean by accommodate please does the lagos state government provide startup capitals to Igbos who venture into business? Did you father dash me a piece of land as an act of generosity and accommodation and to encourage my enterprise? Do you guys feed and accomodates me in other to aid my business prowess? What is stopping you from not dominating your markets is your accommodation of IGBOS

By accommodation do you people buy houses, estates for me, or give me a roof over my head, or do you people rent houses for me or even build for me? What is the accommodation you guys show IGBOS, if not this same ethnic toxicity, Tribalism, hate, envy and Genocide. Are there other Yorubas residing in the east, if yes they are not be accommodated abi? You guys are hopeless and pathetic, very disgraceful and someone will argue that some of you have elementary education.

Honestly some Yorubas are one of the dumbest People on the planet. Accommodation kill una there, all over Nigeria everyone has freedom to live and do business freely the very fact someone is trying to make that into some kind of privilege is in itself proof of insanity and imbecility, una too mumu, tufiakwa!

Not agreeing with my position doesn't change the fact that I am Igbo. When you are done blabbing, you go go rest.

Someone says his Igbo, and here you are denigrating Yorubas that didn't do anything to you.

O gosiri na obu ezughi gi ezu.

REDshouse:
I will dash you 2 bottles of Hero bear for been honest..

I just had to be honest about things...

Why should Tinubu being corrupt bother an Igbo man more than it bothers Lagosians?

If Lagos is that inhospitable, why do we have some of the largest markets in Nigeria dominated by Igbos in Lagos , such as Ladipo, Alaba International, Balogun, TBS etc.

We can't keep saying that Lagos is a mess yet the whole of Amuwo, Festac, Okota, Cele etc, are fast turning into a mini-SE within Lagos, with expanding real estate and business investments.

REDshouse:
An empty street, an empty house ... all residents and indigenes have ran to Lagos for greener pastures, including presidential aspirant Obi, To a State managed by a seasoned, accommodating, and humble Democrats (Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu)...God Bless BAT23

U dey mind them?

I be Igbo o, but it baffles me why Igbos hate Tinubu.

Which Igbo family does not have a relative in Lagos? Can you say same of Yorubas in any Igbo state?

Yet they tell you Lagos is filthy, smelly, over rated bla bla bla..

If Tinubu stole Lagos money, why are Igbos the ones crying more than the bereaved?

Why don't we concentrate on the corrupt politicians in the Southeast?
