Who be this werey, once money don press their palms their true colours come out. Let him getat. The Obidient movement is beyond politics, it is an idealogy that MUST be enforced if we truly want a positive change in this country. Our parents and grand parents failed us, the idea of man know man or lawlessness MUST end with us.

Whoever this brodamike or whatever his name is an unknown personality and must have been paid for this stint.

He forgot that others were paid previously but couldn't succeed. Infact most of them who tried are facing one issue or the other.

There are two things I like about Obi for now: He is known for prudent, which means all these wastefullness he will tackle it.
He believes so much in education. Bro, if we had invested heavily in STEM based education over the years, all these rubbish we produced as citizens would have not happened.
He also believes so much in fixing electricity and production economy. Tinubu is more of a tax master, very terrible. I like Obi's idea about taxation which is like a social contract which should happen after provision of social services. Like borrow to fix electricity, then once electricity is working, tax for the electricity to make money to pay back the loan.
But this one wants to tax u ontop providing nothing. That is evil.

Lithiumite:
Your analogy cant be quite correct,my friend ran under LP for lagos LG chairmanshio as a yoruba guy without any fear of harassment.

Amuwo odofin is one of the LGs with very high igbo concentration but that isn't reason why yorubas cant be co opted into leadership roles.....the aesthetics isnt good and its already portraying the NDC as clannish and parochial.

Obasanjo is a Fulani abi Bororo man abi?


Igbos were the strongest supporter of Olusegun Obasanjo throughout his 8 years in office as President of Nigeria.


You guys allowed Lagos-ethnic divisive politics to brainwash you all to believe that Igbo people don't want a Yoruba man as President but forgeting that Obasanjo was also a Yoruba man supported by Igbos.


Tinubu just like Buhari earned their dislike by majority of Igbos when it comes to politics. They can never make good leaders, only wicked people think otherwise out of ethnocentric reasoning.


Tinubu had over 3 years to shut us his strong critics up with good governance and being a leader that unifies the nation, instead he chose to be a failure out of wickedness and closed mindedness. He chose to be a sectional leader that only cared about his people and region and yet you expect people like me to be clapping for him?


If Tinubu had jettisoned his tribalism and unforgiveness, believe me he would have succeeded beyond imagination. He would have assembled competent hands to help him move Nigeria forward but instead he refused to see the goodness and quality in other tribes, especially in Igbos and you want me to applaud such a divisive President? God forbid!



And to even think that you guys don't want anybody to criticize Tinubu after he turned Nigeria upside down beats my imagination.



Tinubu's destruction of every sector of Nigeria affected me directly that's why I am wailing.



In 2022, a building engineer gave me a quote of NGN27 million Naira to build a 5 bedroom duplex in my village, land not included.


For some reasons bothering around indecision and financial constraints, I started it and stopped at near lintel level.

Last year, I decided to go back to that project, guess how much they told me it would cost me to complete the building that was also near lintel level? NGN105million with basic finishing not exquisite finishing.

In 2021, I bought a 2018 Lexus 460 on a distress sale at NGN15million and resold it in 2022 for NGN17million.


Fast forward to 2025, that same car was sold for NGN35million.


I can go on and on.

In Nigeria of today, if you are not living abroad (US, maybe Canada and Australia not UK oh) and doing a good job, not a politician, not an established business owner or trader inside popular markets, not working with IOCs, not into big time Yahoo Yahoo or drug trafficking, you can never dream of building an upstairs or duplex in your life unless you have opportunity to loot and steal at your workplace.



Is that the country of your dream?


How about insecurity?


Did you see the rate Nigerian youths and graduates sold their inheritance, family properties and everything they had and even emptied their savings and ran away from Nigeria to UK, Canada, and just any country they could secure visa without minding how life would be in their destination country the moment Tinubu became President?


Is that not a clear sign of failed regime?


Take sentiment aside and tell me why Tinubu should be reelected? Even you and your household, I am sure you guys are negatively affected by Tinubu's anti-people policies

SMerchant:
Man in confusion.
Why is "this" happening so frequently?
The truth will keep purging you guys cos of hatred

franchasng:
Ordinarily, I am not supposed to reply you, but since I am free now, I will.


First, stop allowing ethnic dislike to control your thoughts and reasoning as human.


Your political elites told you guys so much lies about the Igbos which you guys have held on to for several years now and refused to do personal research and even analyze issues based on available facts and not some hearsay or they said or I heard.


I am going to present facts to you which you can personally research to know if it's true or not.


General Aguiyi Ironsi the first Military Head of state of Nigeria who happened to be Igbo was removed via counter coup in 1966.

While he was Military Head of state, Nigeria still ran regional system of government.


Col. Odimegwu Ojukwu was the Military Governor of Eastern Nigeria.


Col. Adekunle Fajuyi was the Military Governor of Western Region.


Maj. Gen. Hassan Katsina was the Military Governor of Northern Region.


Col. David Ejoor was the Military Governor of Midwestern Region of Nigeria.


Immediately Ironsi was removed, Gowon took over as Military Head of State and after taking power, Gowon replaced the four large regions (North, East, West, Mid-West) with a 12-state structure in 1967.


Gowon stated that he dissolved the regional system as a strategic move to dilute regional power, reduce ethnic tensions, and prevent further fragmentation. This effectively ended the pre-existing regional system.



But as usual, Yoruba media propaganda always love to blame Igbos for every political issue in Nigeria, so they always held on to decree 34 by Aguiyi Ironsi as what ended regional system of government but under the same man they said ended regional system, Nigeria had Regional Governors, Western Region had a Military Regional Governor, Fajuyi.


Now you may ask what was decree 34 all about?


It was a usual practice for all military personnel that seized power in their nations back then to find ways to consolidate power to avoid political uprising against them, so they usually suspend their nation's constitution and adopt the use of military decree to enact laws they used to rule their nations in place of national constitution.


Decree 34 abolished political parties, unified civil service in Nigeria to give the military head of state the power to control state institutions and prevent political uprising.


But as usual, Yorubas intentionally ignored Gowon's decree no 14 of May 27, 1967 that instantly abolished regional governments and created the first 12 states in Nigeria, which ended the regional system of government and rather blamed Aguiyi Ironsi's decree no 34 that only unified civil service and abolished political parties while keeping regional governments as Nigeria still had Regional Governors before Ironsi was removed via bloody counter coup.


So tell me, how did Ironsi ended Regional government in Nigeria when under his military leadership Nigeria still had 4 regional governments with their respective Regional Governors?


Tell me why Ironsi who never created a single state but kept all the four regions and appointed Military Governors to oversee the four regions the person to be blamed instead of Gowon that abolished regional governments and created the first 12 states in Nigeria?

franchasng:
you and your kinsmen despise truth, especially when it exposes your wickedness and treachery,


we are only angry that you despise equity, you hate justice, you disdain fairness, you cherish bias, you adore cheating, you worship treachery and political gangup, but it's not working, it's rather plunging Nigeria into deeper mess, you guys should have a change of heart.


unlike you guys that have very primitive and bias mindset, that refuse to explore our states and contribute to our own region's development, always giving unfounded excuses why you can't do same, as if you do that even in the Niger Delta or Northern regions you pretend to love more than Igbos.

franchasng:
Yes take whatever I tell you. God alone sees my heart and the heart of my people that I discuss Nigerian issues with.

Our only issue with Yorubas and Hausa-Fulanis is their continuous gangup against Igbos politically, that's all.


We are only asking for equity, justice and fairness.

In 1993, a Yoruba man won Presidential election, an Hausa Dictator annulled it. When Nigeria wanted to return back to democracy in 1999, to pacify Yorubas for the annulment of June 12 election, a consensus was reached that the President should come from Southwest as a way of telling them sorry for what happened.


Many prominent Igbos had serious Presidential ambition, namely; Dr Alex Ekwueme who was one of the major founding fathers of PDP, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu another prominent Igbo politician who also founded another national party, Ikemba Odimegwu Ojukwu, Sir Victor Umeh, and many others.


Dr Ogbonnaya Onu shelved his Presidential ambition by stepping down for Olu Falae, while Olusegun Obasanjo got PDP ticket.


Dr Ogbonnaya Onu reminded Buhari, Tinubu and all Nigerians this during APC Presidential Primaries in 2022, so that you won't think I made this up, you can Google for the APC 2022 Presidential Primaries candidate speeches and watch Ogbonnaya Onu tell this story before Buhari, Tinubu, and the rest of Nigerians.


In consideration of what happened in June 12 1993, Nigerians allowed two Yoruba men emerged as the two Presidential candidates for 1999 Presidential election.


Justice, equity and fairness demands that Igbos be given same consideration after missing out completely from producing President of Nigeria as one of the three major tribes in Nigeria since 1966. The time presented itself in 2023, Igbos expected massive support from fellow countrymen, especially the Yorubas to foster unity, love and progress, instead Yorubas followed Tinubu and turned it to a full tribal war that even continued after an Igbo Presidential candidate got openly cheated in 2023 Presidential election, in which Yorubas ought to have been pacifying Igbos, reassuring them of their support in future contest, they rather followed Tinubu to declare full scale tribal war against Igbos using Nigerian state institutions just as Buhari did and you think such action is good and humane enough?



And when we Igbos try to clap back through Internet media outbursts out of frustration, instead of you guys to offer words of encouragement and reassurance, you guys rather go amok and commando and even call us all manner of unprintable names for demanding for equity as done to the other major tribes, it's well.


Continue laughing, like I told u, nature and God despise injustice, it may seem like they don't care, but time will always prove that they do care

franchasng:
what I said as a wake up call to you and your people to change your ways and be of good conduct, always be empathetic to others, stop mocking others in their misery and stop ganging up against Igbos politically thinking u are showing strength or being smarter or better, it will only backfire as we all can see how the Tinubu/Yoruba-Buhari/Fulani collabo is backfiring on Nigerians now.

Igbos have no bad intention for any region or tribe.

franchasng:
We warned severally on this forum that if Yorubas don't stop mocking Igbos and ganging up with Hausa-Fulanis to persecute Igbos, that God and nature will raise a sword, I always said this but nobody paid attention.

Borrow2222:
Why won't they laugh?

A fake pastor from SW said on live TV that Igbos are the problem of Nigeria.

That means he's happy about what Fulani is doing in Nigeria, doesn't see them as a problem.

So if SE folks are laughing, they're laughing at the stupidity of some SW people.

Why everytime Ogbomoso. What has Ogbomoso done to Nigerian youths ?

point one instance where passiveness has ever worked?

I don’t resort to online bully but even me and you know APC propaganda was part of how they won election today.

Abi make we start to bring evidence?

Gandollar:
Yes ordinary toxicity.

Suppose he was threatened with death not to come out to vote on election like tinubu and his boys in Lagos did to anyone not supporting him ?

Akin foolgate was dismissed from the movement since 2024.

Let him go to APC and collect his towel

Acidosis:
I hope you realise that it took people's aggressiveness to take power from the military regime? I mean, people like the NADECO guy, Soyinka, etc. Some of them had to japa to foreign land, writing theses upon theses, condemning the government in power.

If you think anything will change without aggressiveness because you want to protect the interest of the same NADECO guy who used everything at his disposal to fight the then government, then I have nothing else to say.

Acidosis:
Unfortunately for you, only aggressive people who are willing to risk everything can change the fortunes of this country. Passive people who only wait for another election year to repeat and rinse former criminals who budget 300 million per streetlight are the major problem in this country. As developed as South Korea is, people are on the streets protesting for and against what they stand for. They are not waiting for Jega or Mahmoud to select another criminal for them. This is a developed nation with a top-tier HDI and economy, and with people who have constant electricity, high-quality transit systems, and security.

Ordinary small toxicity online, you're already wailing despite living in darkness. I pity una.
