This is the most senseless thing I’ve read from a presidential candidate since 1999. This guy has no single intelligent and realistic alternative idea. It’s either he’s telling us that he will take advice from a mad man on Onitsha head bridge or he will personally enter the forest to rescue kidnap victims irrespective of if it will lead to the death of the victims or not.

Read his comments again; he said "Everybody will come out" ...

"...but there will be casualties".

The casualties he's reffering to are the terrorists ,duh!! How come you elected not to understand his comments? No bi mischief bi dat!!

Obi is worried that the Terrorists went scot-free(forget the charade by the FG that the "suspects" were arrested and tried and jailed...within 7 days!!)

Guy una too dey do chochocho about Obi for this forum!!

Na wa oo!!

40+ single men without kids or girlfriend will come here and spew their nonsense out of jealousy.

People are saying the marriage wont last.

Older people get married and get divorced so as young people. If you like marry at 50 years, your marriage fit no reach 6 months. There is no manual to life. Make all of us sha dey live as we like, at the end na kpai all of us go kpai

If the marriage doesnt last, it is just another failed marriage, they can learn and move on.

And he go even surprise una say na this kind marriage dey last.

I wish them well.

Bro,you're fond of making comments just to sound good so you can feel good!!

How can you choose to throw aside the Concepts of Objectivity; Reality; Experiential Knowledge and truth just like that.

Yes,It's true that there are marriages that don't last(But thankfully over 85% of Nigerian marriages of ordinary people often last! You know this to be true),

But before those that crashed happened,there were no obvious tell-tale signs abinitio as it is in this Peller's case;

First of all Peller/Jarvis are internet celebrities who're under constant Public Pressure;interference,scrutiny,influences,etc.

Secondly; Peller who's supposed to be the Leader of the Union is still a Child(take note that a person's brain begins to reach maturity at age 25.Research this.Peller is 19!!)

Thirdly; for Jarvis to drag him to court to sign this papers,it means she's already preparing for the possible dissolution in the next two or three years.

Now understand that no one has any reason to wish them ill-luck...we wish them well...,but we can't ignore the overwhelming realities...just because we need to sound "good"

HacheNoire:
Dude even did court wedding 🤣😃😃

I pity this boy! Those advising him are nuts!

Even Davido and Wiz did not do court wedding.

She's older and wiser and smarter and more cunning....

She took advantage of his being Love-struck and naive to manipulate and goad him into signing this court papers..

He's been finally pocketed.

Peter giringori obi even if it is extended to eve of election, your supporters only believe in online voting

Somehow somehow,you're right on this one.

Most of my fellow OBIdients are only online activists.

Richtaiwo:
The excuses are arriving ahead of the event.

Election timetables exist for a reason. They can only be altered on compelling national grounds, with broad public support and the necessary legislative approval, not because of advice one confused man took from a madman.

INEC gave everyone ample time. While serious politicians were mobilising supporters to register, he was busy washing aircraft toilets, carrying celebrities' luggage at the airport, and serving food at children's birthday parties.

Bro,I thought you have outgrown this kind of talk; dirty Sarcasms,innuendoes and petty prattles such as this deprives this Forum of the kind of robust intellectual discourses and exchanges which the creators expected of us here!

You could simply have advanced informed reasons why the 90 days before Election timeline is not feasible...instead of a recourse to a gutter gossip about washing toilets and serving food at Children's birthday.

Your mind can't be that fickle,trust me.

Don't be misled by those you seek to entertain....

I know you can do better.

Some Party Agents....who're there and supposed to be Protecting the interest of their Parties...are also often induced to look the other way!

Members of the position Parties should beware

And those corrupt Corp Members;....

.... are you sure they're truly NYSC members?

They may usually be members of the Ruling Party who're given NYSC uniforms.

Shine your eyes in 2027 everyone.

Nice PR Work ahead of 2027....!!

If the electorates perceive you to have failed and Undeserving of a second term,you find other tactics to use and work up their emotions to your favour.

Which one will Tinubu use now?

Something simple and suave and persuasive...

Anyways,Make I write ideas send Tinubu.

Him need am badly...!!

Trump's team would want to appeal on this.

"Appeal" to who..?

Is the Supreme court not the last court of resort?

You are talking absolute nonsense !!

Islamic boko haram members are fighting a religious cause..

Stop comparing apples with oranges..

Don't mind many of these closet Islamic irrendentist Pretending to be good when they are not; wishing to whitewash and revision the millitant nature of Islam but can not.

However,the moderate Muslims themselves can be embarrassed all they want but the truth is that All Islamic terrorists like Boko Haram,ISWAP,Lakurawas,Fulani Jihadists et all, have one purpose ; Force an Islamic government over all Nigeria by all means....

And the Federal government appears to be overwhelmed and fatigued !

Wetin we fit do ba yi?

AsomughaChuks02:
After he loses out in 2027, hope he will still be donating his loot. Let's see how long this political charity lasts

Try dey talk like a grown up sometimes.

Anyways,may be it's because you didn't know that Obi had always been a charitable man even before he ever dreamt of being a Governor...

Then immediately after the 2023 elections,Obi continued his charity ventures NationWide..

And of course,you should know that after 2027(As a sitting President or out of office) Obi will continue his Charities.

He's already wondering what he'll do with the billions he owns here and there....hence charity.

See?

jmoore:
I wonder why Tinubu supporters have been rejoicing.

The court order only said that the case will start all over again with another interested party(PMP) which has a legal interest in the case.

Las las, Peter Obi will still be on the ballot after the retrial.

PMP just dey waste money.

PMP "waste money" ke?

Their sponsor has Tonnes of billions of Tax payers money to throw around.

All of them know it's a fruitless effort....they only want to slow down Obi's momentum ....

But...the reverse seem to be going to be the case.

See?

seunmsg:
It’s somehow funny sha. We all agree the first judgement that ordered INEC to register NDC is defective. INEC knew this and that’s why that made it very clear on their website that the party is registered based on court order only.

Now, is it really possible for an High Court judge to sit and withdraw or review his own judgement? Are there precedents in that regard? Whatever defect that’s in the original judgement, I would have thought it’s only a superior court that can remedy the case.

You're right bro.And it's gladening to hear you speak so objectively on this one....

It's an Aberation in Law for the same high court and same Judge to revisit the case(After ordering the Registration of the NDC) and then almost a year after, overturn itself.....!)

Only an Appeal court,then Supreme court has such Jurisdiction in this case...and the window for "Appeal" has already expired!

The Court order(By same court and Judge) that ordered the registration of NDC last year did so to agree with the NDC that it's logo did not resemble the APC's logo.

The issue(Where the Court Ordered NDC's registration..) was about APC and NDC's logos...not even this PMP party !!

NDC took INEC to court and won!

This PMP party wasn't even registered then !

Even up untill now,I doubt the PMP is still a registered Political party!

Abeg make we Sha dey always condenm wetin no dey right for the benefit of our National development and our personal destinies tomorrow.

You think. But people have always being hungry in Nigeria.

In addition, look at igbos robbing an onion truck coming from the North. And this was even before Tinubu became president 😂 pic.twitter.com/Gu9qMcz5gl

Fallacy No 1; It is Igbo Traders that mostly go to the North to bring Onions and other Foodstuffs from the North(Though Hausa Traders also engage in the trade,but Igbo People have long dominated it.Money dey there...they take Palm oil,Coconuts,etc to the North and bring Onions,etc to the SE.)

Fallacy No 2; What you're claiming in this video is not what happened; this is not how and when people's goods are looted.the goods were being evacuated to prevent confiscation from certain "Authorities"

Fallacy No 3; What has this got to do with the issue in the thread on Vote-buying

[quote author=Goodvibes007 post=139792855]Gala (200 naira) and malt (600 naira) were being shared in Peter Obi's Anambra.

Gala and malt for voters at the ongoing governorship election Anambra State🙆‍♂️😳 pic.twitter.com/m0IhFRXVsc

is evil; it throws up defective leadership that's only after their own personal gains....

Let's all Condemn it in its entirety!!

Shifting blames and trading tackles on "who do pass" is very very Childish and self-injurious; it even gives victory to the corrupt politicians!!

Stop this your pattern in this forum!

CharlesCNG:
if APC gave 319,000 Ekiti people ₦5,000 each, are you saying PDP and ADC had no money, no agents, no structures, and no eyes on the field? That excuse is even more insulting to your own side than to APC. Elections are not lost only by what the winner spent; they are also lost by weak structure, weak messaging, poor candidate appeal, and weak voter connection on the part of the opposition.

A party that blames only stomach infrastructure for every defeat is like a lazy farmer blaming the rain because he came to the farm without seed.

So keep the propaganda if you like, but at least keep your excuse straight: if APC “bought” everyone, then what stopped PDP and ADC from competing, mobilising, monitoring, and persuading? In the end, too many people prefer to explain away failure instead of explaining why voters refused them.

By the way how much was paid to voters in kano, nassarawa, enugu, ondo, rivers ?
Poor miserable losers!

What's all these cheap diatribe about?

Instead of condemning Vote-buying in it's entirety,are you Fishing for reasons why it should be excused and normalise?

SO you are trying to deflect blame from APC and Gaslight other parties?

You are even Pretending not to know that APC indulged in Vote-buying at Enugu,Nassarawa and the other places you mentioned!!

Anyways,no bi by playing the ostrich on the Social media and hiding behind the annonymity of Nairaland to deceive yourselves,soon the consequences of the evil you defend will affect you..

Soon

Seems like you’re not following the World Cup sir.

Mention them.

Apart from Tunisia...

Mention the other two.

kennyz247:
Nigerians no know there problem, imagine a sane person still voting APC at this point...

Nigerians vote Individuals...not Parties!!

Wetin dey do una sef?

Small thing chochocho without calculating!!

Nigerians,in their different individual Constituencies vote their own person based on their perceptions of the person and his potentials.Parties do not matter!!

The coming Presidential Elections is also going to be Nigerians voting an individual,not parties...as usual.

As Nigerians have now Experienced Tinubu and have also come to know Peter Obi better,they'll SURELY vote according to who they preffered,not Parties(Though some votes can be influenced by money!).

How many Nigerians/Abians knew Labour Party if not for Obi and Otti!

CharlesCNG:
Tinubu 2027: Pain Is Real, But Progress Is Also Real

The argument that Tinubu cannot win in 2027 is built more on anger than analysis.

1. Economic pain is real, but so was the mess inherited.
Tinubu met fuel subsidy fraud, multiple exchange rates, weak reserves, fiscal deficits and a distorted economy. Removing subsidy and unifying FX were painful, but what credible alternative existed? Continue borrowing to subsidise consumption?

2. Inflation hurts, but reforms are beginning to stabilise the economy.
The World Bank says Nigeria has made meaningful progress in restoring macroeconomic stability, with stronger fiscal and external positions. Reuters also reports World Bank growth projection of about 4.2% in 2026.

3. Reserves have improved.
Nigeria’s net FX reserves reportedly rose from $3.99bn two years earlier to $34.8bn by end-2025, while gross reserves reached $50.45bn by mid-February 2026. That is not economic collapse.

4. Borrowing must be put in context.
Nigeria’s debt rise partly reflects exchange-rate adjustments and greater transparency, not simply reckless new borrowing. Even the finance minister made this point while forecasting stronger 2026 growth.

5. Social interventions are expanding.
NELFUND says over 1.5 million students have benefited, with more than ₦282bn disbursed. That is a concrete intervention, not propaganda.

6. The opposition has no serious alternative.
They condemn subsidy removal but admit they would remove it. They attack FX reform but offer no credible path back to artificial rates.

Tinubu should be judged by what he met, what he changed, and what is beginning to improve.

A lot remains to be done.

But progress is not cancelled because pain still exists.

Bro,let's learn to be truthful to ourselves sometimes....

All these statistics mean nothing to those whom you're dishing it out to;

If a government can not give the citizens these two main fundamentals(Security & Wellfare,which is the 1st Rule in our National constitution) then it has failed,simple!!

3 years down the line,cost of living and food prices remains 7 times higher than how Tinubu met them(Don't we have arable lands to cultivate food? Are we experiencing drought in all these 3 years?)

3 years down the line,the rate of Terrorisms,Murderous banditry and Kidnapoings on our roads and at our homes have doubled!

Wanton killings and rapings everyday..

And you're reeling out "Statistics"

Like how naa? The more we support failure,the worse our destiny becomes.

Let's assume that Tinubu is actually Reforming,(And I agree he is..) but couldn't he Reform in a manner that cushions the effects of the reforms;like Jonathan's SURE P,like the PTF,or like how Peter Obi said he would have done his....(in a guided manner like other heads of state before him).

For example,before removing the subsidy,why didn't Tinubu embark on massive Food productions(A govt-farmers initiative at secured farmlands like Barracks,Empty University lands,using Prisoners,etc) Why no initiative to keep transport fares down?!

But Tinubu thoughtlessly and recklessly shocked the Economic system with the manner he removed subsidy and "floating the Naira"

And as for the Naira; how come he couldn't see the benefits of defending the Naira instead of "floating"it.

Buhari and others defended it in the interest of the Wellfare of Nigerians.

If there's corruption in the exchange rate regime which was the excuse for floating the Naira,why couldn't the corruption be tackled ...like Obi said he would have done.

Well as one of the 250 million Nigerians who Statistics did not "epp" I want to ask one last question:

Since subsidy removal and Tax reforms helped free Trillions of Nairas for development....why is Tinubu still borrowing Trillions upon trillions,yet insecurity,fuel prices and food prices remains intractable.

I go lay curse on person oo.

DomPerignon:
Correction!

Tinubu is President of Nigeria which is something Giringori is desperately trying to be but will never EVER be.

Una no dey ever learn; talking too much leads to talking unwisely...

Didn't you say in 2023 that Obi will not get up to 1million votes and that the votes will even only come from the SE.

But Obi later gave all of you a bad scare....and a warning of how 2027 will be.

Yet you see it not.

What beclouds your eyes?

A quietly astute politician that has secretly and openly won over new highly influential Electoral mobilizers,power brokers and millions of New voters ahead of 2027!(He has strongly rejuvenated,restructured and restrategized,outsmarting Tinubu in trippling his political support bases)

And the current mood of Nigerians added to his electoral fortunes...

Yet...

Anyways don't run away from Nairaland after 2027!!

Stay and join in analysing the new political dispensation with the New President.

Don't run oo

HacheNoire:
A very good time for the government to arrest and jail his parents, but they will wait until when the inevitable happens.

Don't mind Nigerians ....

Both the citizens and the government are the same...

They're busy feeling "impressed" and clapping for the disaster that's about to happen.

Counterigbolies:
u can keep 😭 n wailing, it's your birthright.

People who supported terrorism in their region till it grew out of hand should learn to live with it

What a Pathetic way of reasoning...is it to Excuse Tinubu's failures...?

So because somone "supported" terrorism in the NW,NE,NC or SE that is why the President should allow this unprecedented level of insecurity to overwhelm the entire country!!

Obas and Ba'ales and innocent citizens of Yorubaland...as well as all over Nigeria ... are being kidnapped and slaughtered like rats and all you can say is that "it's good for them because Nigerians brought it upon themselves"?!!

What has political bigotry done to you??!!

nairalanda1:
Presumably you know this because your source is 'Trust me bro.'.

Congratulate the army for a good job, and stop peddling lies. If I ask you to prove what you have said above, you will tell me that you got no time to provide proof. Congratulating the army does not mean that tinubu is suddenly a good leader. He still gat work to do, and it needed doing yesterday.

I have a video made by my Younger brother where Gen Rabe's Son was talking to the sympathizers who came to their house to Sympathize(The day Gen Rabe's body was brought home by the Bandits themselves!!)

Gen Rabe's Son was very disgruntled by the FG's failure to save his parents; he said his father died of a Snake bite and not from the lies peddled by the FG(About diabetes).

It was in the same breath he debunked the lies that the Bandits released his mother same they they returned his father's body.That was also when he explained why the Bandits delayed the release of his mother.

Bro,the Army is yet to do anything commendable as far as Terrorism,Kidnappings and violent Banditry is concerned in Nigeria.(But they have my Prayers and encouragement but no "Commendations"!! You dey whine?)

And...

Bro,as far as the Security and Wellfare of Nigerians is concerned,Tinubu has failed us since the last 3 years ;

if you continue to lie to yourself about this,the Universe has a way of punishing liars.Becareful.

As for providing you "proof" you or your comments are too inconsequential for me to bother going that far

Mind yaself oo.

Abeg na wetin OBIDIENTS dey smoke sef.

Is Obi above the constitution? What kind of power shearing formula can a president make with a private citizen that will be recognised by the constitution?

I always avoid discussing logic with OBIDIENTS and anytime I make an exception, they always fall hand

So you don't know what kind of Power-sharing arrangement a President can enter with a Private Citizen...?

Haaaa..!!!

Please understand that you're really ignorant;

now let me Educate you...

It's really simple; A Private citizen can recommend or nominate his own people to be given powerful ministerial appointments,or his people made to head powerful government Departments,Agencies and etc.

A private citizen can also be made to enjoy robust government Patronage of his choosing...

This is how Atiku will Patner with Obi!!

Bro,why didn't you think of all these?

And you think OBIdients are your intellectual mates?

Going forward...stay humble in this Forum .

The Bandits wanted to Release her Two days ago...

..but some of the Bandits refused,because,according to them if they released her the Clueless and Deceitful FG will quickly claim it's they who "rescued" her.

But apparently,the Bandits changed their minds and have now released her.

Yet the Shameless Tinubu govt has quickly and predictably rushed to claim credit.

Deceiving ourselves.
