If Mbaka really said what I have been reading online today, hmm Peter Obi should go to adoration ground and make peace with Mbaka so Mbaka can bless him, if not he won't win.

Mbaka has never said anything that didnt come to pass. If he says anything, then it must happen. I know Obi is a good man and has donated money for a lot of projects in the past, but he should humble himself and visit Adoration ground to make peace with Mbaka if he truly wants to be the president in 2023.

He said chimaroke won't return as governor. Well he did.

Ejike Mbaka needs prayers of the church. And if Bishop Onaga loves his priest, he should withdraw his faculties for a year or so and send him to rome for retreat.

Now I see why the enigma Steven Uche Njoku, who incidentally was Mbaka's spiritual father continued to caution Mbaka prior to his death.

It is obvious pride has taken over the man of God.

AbujaCitiBlog:
When I told you that the Igbo are cursed some people will think that I am lying. Just imagine what an Igbo man wrote against his own brother! Bunch of cursed fools! That's why nobody trusts us.

This was written while he was still governor.

I am Igbo, I am not cursed. Are you?

Golan007:
Mbaka that knows him says he's stingy.

I don't know why this annoys you.

Very funny.

Golan007:
You know him better than Mbaka?

What does mbaka know about him? Na him brother for house?

Somebody is calling a person donating money in hundreds of millions to institutions stingy because he refused to give him, and you agree?

ufotunang:
See how igbos hate themselves...and the igbos and the igbo south east governors were begging nigerians for the presidency to be zoned to the South East... and after they will still be complaining of marginalization

For some strange reasons, a lot of people hating on PO are doing so because of the tremendous support he is getting from the south east, and you still say Igbos hate themselves?

My guy, there are people in Osinbajo's family who would have done everything possible to make him lose elections if he was the APC flag bearer for 2023.

A man's worst enemies usually come from his own household, but that does not mean the household hates him.

fredwill1357:
Peter Obi should deputize Kwankwaso for one term. What's so difficult about that, in 2027, he will be contesting from the ruling party with the support of the imcubent president Kwankwaso.
Kwankwaso is not as nepotistic or cluesless as Buhari, a 4 years term of a sensible northern president who runs an all inclusive government won't kill us.
If they run separately, they will both lose, forget peter obi online support. Majority of Nigerians are idiots, they will vote for money.

Firstly, Kwankwaso will not do 4 years. He is a relatively young man. Nobody will taste the presidency and leave it if he still has an opportunity to continue.

Secondly, after 8 years, PO will be 70, and remember he is from the SE. They will not give him the presidential ticket when that time comes. If PO is not willing to play dirty at 61, he will definitely not play dirty at 70.

Thirdly and most important of all, Peter Obis popularity is because he is running for president. Once he takes a vp slot, voter apathy will set in amongst the youths and the SE which is the major support base he is enjoying today. Essentially, a Kwankwaso/Obi ticket cannot win the election, it makes Tinubu the only southerner, and that's straight victory for APC.

Let PO continue what he is doing if Kwankwaso refuses to deputize him. If he loses let him go home. At least, Nigerians would never again say that they have never had an opportunity of voting a good leader.

Umahi never know how far.

MyVILLAGEpeople:
No northern Muslim Governor will ever say this if the table should turn around.

The reason is simply this: northern Muslim politicians are devout Muslims, while southern Christian politicians are Christians by mouth.

You will never hear a devout christian saying it doesn't matter.

Whiteshield:
Said it. Even his own brothers from Anambra will deny Obi.
Those from the SS, SW and the North campaigning for Obi can see that even his own people are cutting deals behind his back.

In the coming elections, PDP won't get 20% of votes in the SE. Igbo politicians are the most useless set of igbos, nobody send them. That is the reason Nnamdi Kanu became the rallying point for igbo youths.

Mark my words Atiku will lose woefully in the SE come 2023, i can tell you that for free.

He should just pick a candidate from SS as his vp.

Maxymilliano:
PDP would have been a sure platform for the SE to get the Presidency easily come 2027 with Atiku's proposed single term arrangement.

Don't be deceived. They wouldn't have given it to the south east.

abu12:
why can't obi drop her pride and run as VP to kwankwoso

is better than kwankwoso

Because Obi cannot get the votes if he is not the presidential flag bearer. Its as simple as that. Let me explain.

The support PO is enjoying is simply because he is a flagbearer. The igbos you see closing markets, filling up centers in the south east to register are because Obi is a presidential candidate. The youths you see on social media, who have now left to Inec offices to register are doing so because Obi is a presidential candidate. The guys who are dusting up their voters card which they have abandoned for years are doing so because Obi is a presidential candidate. The churches you see banning people from entering except they have their PVCs are doing so because Obi is on the ballot as a presidential candidate. His presidential candidacy is eliciting hope in a lot of people.

The moment he becomes a VP candidate, everything dies instantly. Because everybody knows a VP has no power in Nigeria. A kwankwaso/Obi candidature is straight and seamless victory for Asiwaju. The SE will return less that 2 million votes in total, the youths will go out and play ball on that day. AAtiku and Kwankwaso will share the north with Tinubu, while Tinubu will simply pick up southwest votes, plus other southerner's votes who believe that power should return to the south.

On the other hand, the Kwankwaso movement will follow him completely if he is the VP candidate. Merge that with the support Obi has gained, and the increased support the merger will create and they are already on the same level as the big parties. God willing they will win.

Is kwankwaso is bigger politician than Obi? The answer is yes . Was Atiku a bigger politician that OBJ in 1999? the answer is yes also. Infact, OBJ had to go on his knees to plead with Atiku to support him in 2003. But it was expedient that OBJ took the sit to ensure victory at that time. It is also expedient the Obi is the Presidential candidate. If not, the merger can not deliver the presidency.

Kwankwaso's only route to the Presidency is through the Obi/Kwankwaso ticket. A Kwankwaso/Obi ticket cannot deliver the presidency, PDP has severally rejected Kwankwaso, and APC won't give it to him since he left them. He has between now and 2031 to be on that seat. After which he may have become too old for it. Obi/Kwankwaso ticket is the only route for him.

Anyhow sha.

Pastorjohn2:
My first child just clicked 18 years and came to me last night he wants to get his PVC, I was extremely happy knowing my child is into politics and asked who he was going to vote for.
Extremely to my disappointment he wants peter obi, I have tried tirelessly and even threatened to suspend his allowances if he doesn't stop such.
I need help, what do I do?

I might not allow him to get a pvc

I have an apc chieftain living in my compound in Lagos. I mean a real APC leader in the mainland here in Lagos. He told me his 2 sons (young graduates) say they are voting Peter Obi, and they don't even want to listen to anything he has to say.

Truth be told, if we want to be fair to our future generation, we must encourage them to get involved in politics and ensure they are objective when they are choosing their leaders.

Asiwaju is a great administrator. Anybody who denies that is not knowledgeable. But age, health and the lagos baggage (accumulation of wealth) vis the dire straights we find ourselves in this country today demands a very frugal, young and uncorrupt politician who can create wealth. Peter fits this perfectly. So he is the objective choice for 2023 election if the objective is a prosperous nation going forward.

By the next election cycle, someone better may be thrown up. Such a person should be encouraged regardless of his tribe or religion.

If a Rochas Okorocha or OUk or Ifeanyi ugwuanyi were the ones in Peters place today, I would have voted Tinubu or stayed at home at worst, If they were to contest against an Osinbajo, I and all my family would have cast my vote for Osinbajo.

That is being Objective. Encourage your children to be Objective.

SarkinYarki:
I am a realist not a fantasist ..PO has no clear path to Victory , any vote for him is an indirect vote for Tinubu

Then be prepared to have Tinubu as your president.

All this your useless talk on nairaland will even make more people want to vote for PO. Just keep shut if you dont want the vote for him.

I been think say you be correct guy, I no know say you be complete carton man.

Vote your Atiku make we vote Obi. If that makes Tinubu to win, it is very okay. Tinubu will even do better that Atiku as president.

hopexter:
Peter Obi left PDP because he was hindered and rejected by the igbos from his own region in PDP. You won’t mention this because You’re also trying to be tribalistic and a victim at the same thing.

Condemning others to sell yours is wrong way to project your candidate bro, just promote yours and leave others.

Point of correction, he was rejected by igbo politicians.

Unlike the SW and North, Igbo politicians have never represented the people.

Peter Obi will sweep the entire SE states in 2023 as a testimony that Ndigbo did not reject him but our foolish political leaders did. And those idiots have remained political leaders because our people have shown great apathy towards elections. All that will change from 2023. Their end has come.

monakii:
No polling booth online

The guys online have gone to get their PVCs, that is why INEC will soon extend voter registration.

Crixxx:
Nigeria unite

For patriotic Nigerians who are not Igbo, the Peter Obi project is for a better Nigeria. For the average igbo Man, the Peter Obi project is for a better Nigeria, better integration of Ndigbo in the scheme of political affairs in Nigeria and ethnic worth.

You see what APC and PDP did to the Igbos have shown all true Igbos that we have put ourselves in a position where nobody thinks us to be valuable in the scheme of things politically. We are respected in business and commerce, but politically, we are considered anawims. And it is our fault.

So when you see Igbos carrying this Peter Obi thing on the head, don't think it is because we want to play tribal politics (We have actually shown the least level of tribalism when it comes to politics having voted for yoruba, hausa/fulani and niger delta), it is actually because we want to show that we are part of Nigeria and deserve to be reckoned with, not with a bad product, but with the best product in the pack of candidates.

If it were OUK, Rochas, Ifeanyi Ugwanyi (my own useless governor) Umahi or Ikpeazu that was attempting to do what PO is doing now, the South East would have been as cold as it has always been during election period. Zero interest.

Support PO for a better Nigeria

tammie24:
you must be ashamed of this comment now
Asiwaju na your mate

Funny enough i am not. Tinubu has shown great strength and every truthful person will give it to him.

On the other hand, Buhari has been shown to be a weakling who is only able to show strength to those who aren't willing to fight him.

SarkinYarki:
How does Peter Obi intend to be an effective president with-

Honestly guy i am disappointed in you. I have always thought you were fairly objective, but i guess i was very wrong.

So as old as you are you do not know that convictions drive actions? Everybody voting PO is convicted of something and they are willing to lose standing by that conviction.

Why do you want Atiku to win? Is it because you think he will make a good president or because you hate Tinubu? I am sure the latter is the reason, and that's very petty.

yusufu16:
I agree in part from your post.

To win an election your VP must also be strong politically and can get votes. At the moment, there no potential Christian VP in the North who is very influential that get APC votes.

Yakubu Dogara comes from Bauchi which is PDP state no way APC can get votes there.
Boss Mustapha comes from ADamawa which is also controlled by PDP and hometown of Atiku. APC cant get anything there.

If APC go with Muslim-muslim ticket, its same as loosing the election.

APC is in deep mess at the moment. Osinbajo would have been a good salable candidate.

So Atiku is in a better position to win with a SS or SE VP.

Osinbajo would have had a smooth sail to asorock. If Osinbajo had gotten the ticket, this Peter Obi effect which is definitely going to cut somobody's ticket would not be as persuasive as it is now.

TabletMan:
Frank my brother.... You guys are not helping Peter Obi.
Other candidates from the two big party are working day and night with some decision makers in the states across Nigeria but Peter Obi is hoping on Nigerian social media hypers that amount less than 3 million votes to win.

How is LP going to mobilize and pay agents that will man the million polling units across Nigeria on election Day?
How will LP get up to 25k votes in states like Kano, Kaduna Kebbi Niger Nasarrawa Sokoto and Bauchi?

We seriously needs to start telling ourselves the plain truth because self deceit will always come back to hurt us with harsh circumstances of realities.
I am yet to see National mobilization that will make Peter Obi the president so for now....

I am with BAT till something remarkable change.

So in your mind you think Peter Obi is sitting in his house in onicha reading twitter abi?

Omoluabi16:
Until Simon ekpa terms 9th and 10th as sit at home day.

You don hear him voice since? Dem no born am. Igbos for finland na dem go kill am.

gabicon:
As much as I relish the possibility of Peter Obi becoming president, I'm certain that there is little that can be achieved by a political parties with weak structure. Labor party and other small political parties have weak structures and next to no presence in three quarters of the states, how do you mobilize people with that kind of structure?

Labor party is Nigeria Labor congress and TUC combined. They have structures nationwide but not for elections. The game changer would be their ability to transform their structure to a political structure. And they have already started working on it.

Lets keep calm. I am not too optimistic of a victory in 2023, but if they do what is right, they would be positioned in a few election cycles to kick out these 2 useless parties.

beerfraud:
Pandora Peter Obituary can only win 5 states and it is going to be a plus to Tulumbu

You have already given PO 5 states? That means there is hope. Maybe before september, it will increase to 10 and by January, 20.

FallenShitHole:
Asking for steps in achieving Biafra is making our point of reffering to you as daft. Have you ever seen a freedom fighting group that has a time line of achieving their freedom? You want a template first before joining in fighting for your freedom. Mumu, keep waiting to see our plan. You have have been voting in your useless nigeria, what have you ever achieved with your 62 years of voting? You are asking us steps and plans? What are your steps and plans of becoming nigeria's president? PVC Muguh, i hope that what happend at Alaba market yesterday has taught you a lesson or two, since what happend at PDP and APC conventions didn't open your dust stuffed head.

You have your useless right to continue validating their lord lugard country. Ewu suffer head. You actually believe that Tinubu took power? Which power has Tinubu taken? Because they gave him APC candidacy just to calm nerves temporarily means Tinubu has taken power by force? You are actually dafter than i thought. Mumu, you can't even read your nigeria's devilish political system, but you want to rule nigeria. The British and their fulani masters gives power in nigeria and they will never give it to an Igbo person because they know they stand to lose what they are gaining, anytime an Igbo person ascends to power. Go and get your useless PVC. Muguh!!

That is all you can offer, insults. No pedigree, no plan no ideas just rants. Continue ranting and go and collect biafra. The one MNK has been shouting since, shebi na gallo e dey now.

You will shout for 200 years and nothing will happen.

Ewu gambia di ka gi. gerrout.

KanwuliaExtra:
Christian president with no party representatives in house of reps or senate?

What laws can he pass ni ki kwa nu?
Only if LP had strong political structures across the country to give Nigerians a true option.

If PO miraculously becomes president ( I think nothing short of a miracle will give him the seat), that one you mentioned is complete akamu case. That one is a non issue.

Our politicians are self centered, none of them cares about party.

ArewaNorth:
Making blunder with ethno-religious bias statements will only kill the chances of ur candidate than selling him.
You guys need more round of General eletions to learn how to play smart political games!

I know you will accept a Christian president. But bros can you accept a Christian president and a Christian vice president?

No be fight, just answer.

SarkinYarki:
Any vote for Obi is an indirect vote for Tinubu

No problem. I like it like that.

When PDP and Wike were sidelining the SE, they didn't know it would come back to haunt them ba? If PO doesnt win, let BAT win.

We are Obidient.

yemmit90:
I think this is a good development. If Igbo can give more than 7 millions votes to a particular candidate in the next election( even if the person did not win), no region will take them for granted again.

That is my focus. While i am hoping that a miracle happens and PO wins it, but you see that statement of giving PO very significant votes, it will change the political narrative in Nigeria forever.

TheStakeHolder:
Not peculiar to Nigeria alone.

The decline is due to the global economic recession ocassioned by the pandemic.

Are you aware there was a global economic meltdown in 2008, which was a lot worse than what covid brought?

Go read it up. Nigeria still thrived then.

Forget the rhetoric from APC supporters, Buhari's government is an economic disaster.

YoungBlackRico:
You're actually right. I do not support violence offline.

'
People are actually not as bad as they appear on this forum. If you are not a Nigerian on nairaland, you will think all igbos and yorubas do in nigeria is fight where and when ever they see themselves. But the reverse is the case. There is no Yoruba man that doesn't have a very close igbo friend and vice versa.

Nairaland na cruise.

YoungBlackRico:
Bro we dey this nairaland together o. And no be ghost be these guys online, all these people saying all these shyt online are the people offline too. May we no dey lie to ourselves abeg.

Leave nairaland matter. Nairaland is a place where people come and display their worst characteristics as human beings. I am certain shame no go gree a lot of us talk outside the way we talk in nairaland.

No problem. I like it like that.
