Dude is very poor at politicking. In this current rugged political terrain, such lackadaisical attitude will only lead him nowhere. He will remain popular but never able to hold power.

Banking on popular support doesn't work in party politics, even at the state level. That's why Osibanjo lost the presidential primaries to Tinubu. While Tinubu was going about lobbying and promising governors heaven and earth, Osibanjo was relying on Buhari and his own popularity among the people. How did it play out? The tactical politician won!

Obi will not get ADC ticket. On the other hand, LP ticket will be crisis-ridden, if not useless, going by the way Abure is steering the party. Obi must double up. It's an incumbent you are contesting against this time around. It's a very tall mountain!

And incumbent that is no longer Popular all over the country!! Except in some places in the SouthWest...due to Ethnocentric sentiments.

In 2023,Peter Obi with no structures contested against the incumbent....who is one and the same person..(the APC...and Buhari,and INEC,governors,are structures belonging to Tinubu...

But Obi defeated All of them in their enclaves; Buhari at FCT and Also Rock,Tinubu in Lagos,APC chairman at his State in Nassarawa.

A person described as a Political tsunami by the ooni of ife,is whom you're shy of showing respect.

Now with El-Rufai,Tambuwal,Shagari and Possibly Kwankwaso,he's secretly Plotting his structures to add to what's already got,and you think your "incumbent" stand a chance?

If you know what's coming,you'll shudder.

madridguy:
Obi should not run away from ADC, he should stay and go to the primary and test his popularity.

"And test his Popularity"

Is Dolllarised and Money bag Party primaries a place of "testing popularity"?

Or is it a test of Immorallity,corruption and debauchry?

Is that the kind of Politics you're expecting Peter Obi to be part of.

Nigerians.

Who do una?

Where are all those Ethnic Chauvinist in Previous threads who were Suspecting that the Pilot,captains and Airline staff were people of a Particular tribe who "Disrespected" their god

So Whenever ordinary Nigerians show courage and self-assurance in the discharge of their duties...especially before a "big" man of your tribe, or are doing or saying what is right to people you consider your own people....,You people will term it "rudeness" or "arrogance" while associating it with that certain tribe.

Now that it's not "that tribe" but professional staff doing their job,what advice do you now give yourself?

All of us should broaden and renew our minds about each other;:for our mental health and for the sake of our intertwined destinies

Anyways it's the demons of social media annonymity that I blame. In real life it's not this bad.

But let's start toning this Chauvinism down.Abeg

Those who will believe this are those who are not organized. Those who don't plan things ahead

A distraction news to confuse the coalition/opposition

You're absolutely correct bro

Hey!

You sound like a Demon

Noo,I'm not.

I only Slay them...I.e,I kill or exorcise them.They dwell in People and so I chase them out or destroy them completely and the person will be free

Like I noticed Maggog (not maggot) and paimon in you;they cause you to be flippant with your mouth and wayward in IQ and EQ and these causes confusion and strife in your spheres of contacts.

They damage destinies.

For instance,they didn't let you see and understand my moniker...then you ran off with your mouth!

If you resist them enough to agree with this message,you'll start being free of them to start with,trust me

These Aides and Spokespersons, e bi like say better money go dey that Job oo..

But...

Are they paid according to how many Situations they react to...or is it monthly?

Going by the way this Lere Reacts left,right and Centre on ADC matter these days.....

Dude go don hamma Pieces

we have plenty candidates for this type of helicopter here in Nigeria...

Guy stop that!

Are you a kid?

Fear who no fear Tinubu...

When it comes to making money or grabbing at Political power that Man is a Cold-hearted, self-serving and Ruthless individual!

And his naive supporters are mistaking such immoral Vices as "Political Strategy"!! Lol

Do you know that just because Many non Yoruba voters...especially Igbo voters...have been exercising their freedom of choice in voting PDP or LP,this man got angry...got scared..

....cos he felt his Dynasty has been Challenged and threatened!

So he decided to fight the dissenting voters.

That's when he sent out his minnows(in and out of the Media.Online and Offline.)to device strategies on how to checkmate the influence of Voters who dared to exercise their Electoral rights against his Wishes.

That's how this Divisive rhetorics against the Igbos in Lagos started

'Cos I no know when any notable or respectable Igbo,group or individual,gathered and declared officially that "Lagos is a no Man's land"....

....and I can't ever remember an Igbo vying for Governor of Lagos,or vying for Ọbá of Lagos,or the Baale of any Lagos community or getting involved in any Lagos Chieftaincy affairs

Tinubu's errand boys picked up a cannon fodder from nowhere and tried to amplify it for Tinubu's agenda.

He can't succeed.It's too late;

Igbos and Yorubas are too intertwined in Marriage,Business patnership,Church activities,Co-tenants,good neighbours,etc for APC politicians to separate them.

Can Seyi Tinubu's Igbo wife pack the children and leave because of her ruthless father-in-law? No way.

BATists should quit trying.

raddyworld:
It will take the grace of God to win TINUBU in 2027.

How will Tinubu do it?

Go to the North and feel their pulse concerning Tinubu.Their dislike for him started 3 months into Tinubu's government.(They went on a mass protests but is it actually everyday that they wish to embark on protests but community leaders often Prevail on them)

The Northern Political Leaders have no choice but to align with the sentiments of their masses.

The NorthCentral is Peter Obi's stronghold added to the SE and SS.

Now Obi is working out a Win-Win patnership with the Far North leadership.

Apart from some Parts of the SouthWest,where does Tinubu hope to get block votes?

Voters have already made up their minds since around July 2023!

Some of his supporters are being deceived that he's a "Strategist" but the "strategy" is (1) Money Politics (2) Voters surpression. (3) Divide Voters & conquer them. (4) Rigging.

All politicians know these " strategies"just that his is with a character of Ruthlessness.

Unfortunately for him those powerful Northern politicians who did the works for him in 2023...like El-Rufai...now wants to work with Peter Obi.

I worry for Tinubu, I no go lie.

He's gone!

bigpicture001:
There is a James hardly chase title about same scenerio, but this time around.... It went wrong

Plz who can remind. Me the title

The story in the Chase Novel is about Helga Rolfe,widow of Electronic magnet and a billionaire,Herman Rolfe.While Holidaying in Spain she meets and falls in love with a gigolo called Christopher.

Christopher and an accomplice plan a Fake Kidnap of Christopher.

While Helga is running around to raise the Money,the local Mafia steps in and truly Kidnaps Christopher and his accomplice for real and raised the demand further

The title is: "An Ace up my sleeves".

R3ad all the Chase titles in the 90s!

ProudlyLagos:
do you hide yours against the Yorubas? You lot can’t just take quarter of the nonsense you dish to other…..it’s what you give that you get, you better get used to that

Please always remember that there are very mature people in this forum....so that your comments will always agree with their sensibilities.

For instance,are you implying that it is right for the Tinubus (The father and Mother of the Nation) to be biased and partial in their Leadership....just because a Private Citizen is accused (Wrongly or Rightly) of being biased. A private Citizen oo!

You're justifying the lack of equality in sharing our common wealth by our own First Lady and our own President who were elected by Nigerians to go and serve Nigeria....

Please renew your thought process going forward.

No bi children dey here

Melagros:
COMRADES, I had a conversation about these donations by Mrs Tinubu today in my office, my colleague was querying that, where does she always get those billions of Naira from for these donations, and this was my answer, you think say Nigerian money get value again? The amount may sound too big, but unfortunately, it carries no value!

What a shame

Value or no Value where and how does she get the Money

Who appropriates it??

Why is Keyamo using N712billion to renovate only MM2?

Why did Wike use N39 billion to renovate a conference center.N39 billion!!

Our security agents are poorly paid.Health workers and Teachers are dying of hunger.Farmers are in IDP Camps Nation-wide,no food to eat not to talk of ones to sell to us.

But what the govt do is to engage in and entrench a culture of Grand Profligacy,corruption and squandermania!

What kind of people are you guys voting and supporting to stay in Power and milk us dry and mock our values

zero8zero:
The joke is on you, the first lady is distributing her donations across the country from day one. She's not like one desperate man who's begging for one term presidency.

The man "begging" for one term is a Private Citizen...not a government official.

The first Lady....with an official #Office of the first Lady# is a Public property that belongs to ALL Nigerians; Duely elected by the Nigerian masses.: A mother to all Nigerians.

What kind of mother will be partial and biased to some of her Children.

#zero8zero be thinking before commenting.

Try.

OLADD:
Even if Nwosu is bought, I believe Atiku will still have plan B unless he decides not to contest The bottomline is that Obi cannot defeat Tinubu as a presidential candidate in 2027 nomatter the packaging and alliance with any northern VP candidate . It's an exercise in futility just like 2023

Wishful thinking...

You said worse than this before the 2023 elections...

....you were not expecting it when Obi defeated Buhari in Aso-Rock ward,beat Tinubu and Atiku in Abuja,disgraced Tinubu in Lagos,Humiliated APC National chairman,Adamu Abdullahi,in Nassarawa state.Shocked Atiku in Adamawa. Swept Plateau,Benue,Taraba,Kaduna and etc.

And now Obi is forming a formidable alliance in the far North(Where they are eager to Send Tinubu packing) but instead of worrying about Tinubu's situation,you're here chest-beating....and sounding off your innermost fears.

Didn't you swear that Chelsea will not beat PSG?

seunmsg:
Beyond the politics, what exactly can any president achieve in four years ? A president gets sworn in on 29th May of the election, he has to set up his government and he’s going to struggle with this for another 3-6 months. Even at that, he inherits a budget he knows absolutely nothing about from the former president and by law, he has to implement it.

Then there are various governors, senators, Reps and powerful political figures with diverse interests to deal with. By the end of the second year, political coalitions start springing up and politics has to take the center stage again. Boom, it’s four years and nothing much has changed.

It took Lee Kuan Yew 31 years to set Singapore on the path of sustained economic development. Paul Kagame has been president of Rwanda for the past 25 years and he’s still president because Rwanda is still not there yet.

So, anyone telling you all he needs to perform magic and turn a big, economically challenged, infrastructurally decayed, ethnically disunited and religiously divided Nigeria to Dubai in four years is a liar. It is the height of political desperation. It’s even more funny because this same guy had 8 years to turn a small, ethnically and religiously homogeneous Anambra around but left the state worse than he met it.

What an attempt at DISinformation and MISinformation just to smear a good product.

Pray,apart from Buhari,Which President ever takes 3-6 months to appoint ministers..

The fact That Buhari Was encumbered with cluelessness and the Pressure to accommodate all the Political jobbers,does not mean that an intellectual like Peter Obi will take 6 months to assembly his crew

Are you joking?

As I type this,half of Obi's Government officials have already been known by him.The other half will be from the Camp of his Northern Patners!!It takes 3 months after elections to be sworn in.

And....

If not for lack of Political will to do the right thing by the President and his appointees;Who told you it's difficult...within two (2) years.... to(1) bring down Food prices with a Robust Agricultural and security Policies...by also preventing food speculators from buying cheap,hoarding and selling months later at a costly rate.

...and if not for Corruption and Profligacy (where they are using N39billiion to just renovate a conference centre)Who told you it's difficult to(2) construct and reconstruct major Road arteries for farm produce and easy commuting in all the 774 LGAs....within two years?

What about the industrialisation policy involving large,small & medium scale enterprises(So we can start exporting and earning fx)

It is simply the revamping of already made legal and policy frameworks,resuscitation of relevant institutions and the use of requisite eggh3ads as Economic advisers and ministers(Does Tinubu even have the office of the Economic adviser

Who said it's difficult to add 15,000MW to our grid for uninterrupted power supply?

Who told you the bad eggs in our security agencies enabling banditry,terrorism,Herdsmen attacks and kidnapping won't be fished out in 3 months.You think Ribadu will be the NSA?

I can go on and on about what Obi can do in his first 100 days in office...

...but of course,all opposers of Peter Obi will rather that he does not defeat Tinubu even if they know he'll do things differently and do wonders in less than 4 years!

FreeStuffsNG:
She's very good at 3 pointers and winning the rebounds. She is equally a motivating factor whenever she wears the captain band.

She truly deserves it. Nigeria and patriotic Nigerians celebrate her.

Thank you so very much.
God bless Nigeria for ever!

Aahhaa!! Now you're talking...

Way to go bro ..

We'll surmount all our challenges as a country and get it right someday.

dom:
Nigeria will always emerge Number 1 whenever Merit is allowed to come to play. Things like Quota system, tribalism, nepotism and ethnic jingoism are the reasons why we are where we are today.

You're very correct bro...

Nigeria certainly would even have been competing with the likes of Japan and China in all indices of development if the system had allowed Merit and only the best to rule!!

But Ethnic chauvinism and Religious bigotry wouldn't allow meritocracy; they be like "instead of the infidels or that tribe to be the ones leading,let the country drift anyhow.It's the will of God"

Another factor is Corruption fueled by greed,opportunism and lack of Patriotism.

[quote author=FreeStuffsN

It's now "Igbo-dominated" coup.

No longer an "Igbo" coup.

Anyway,you're getting to the truth small small.

Soon you'll realise the whole truth.

But why are you trying to reopen the wounds of the injuries we have all recovered from; That unfortunate coup(Not with the knowledge of the Larger Igbo)Which claimed the lives of Millions of Igbos....in the Pogrom and in the civil war,was a sad period of our National life.Thousands of Igbo Millitary officers murdered in the counter coup and the civil war(If that is a Revenge for the casualties of the 1966 coup,it is too much of a revenge.;Millions of people Vs 4 or 5 leaders!)

Anyways,Nigerians have moved on....just like hundreds of other Countries who had worst histories than ours?

#FreestuffNg,have you not moved on? Or are you trying your best to see if you can whip up sentiments against these people you're so afraid of?

Keep trying .You'll soon be banned from this forum.

E go shock you

Soon

[quote author=Tjra post=136329651]Hahahaha....

You got him there.

Nice response

MufasaLion:
This is a nice development. More states need to do this. They shouldn't go and claim the place as theirs afterwards.

How can you imagine that Igbos will...afterwards....claim Bauchi or any other states for that matter?

Don't you have concerns for how you'll be perceived when you make comments like this?Where's your sense of shame bro?

Has Igbos ever tried to contest the Oba of Lagos,or Baale of anywhere,or interfer in Lagos Chieftaincy affairs? Have they ever contested for the governor of Lagos....even though they have the numbers,the money and the Constitutional right?

Just because 2 or 3 non Yorubas on the streets(online & offline) were intentionally misunderstood when they reffered to Lagos as "no man's Land" does not mean it's the position of all Igbos or non-Yorubas.Which well known Igbo,(Organisation,group or individual) has ever been heard talking like that.

It is simply the handi-work of desperate and scared APC politicians in Lagos intent on dividing and conquering the voters(Instead of finding a way to parley with Igbos and take advantage of their voting population,money and social media influence,they choose a self-destruct path)

Anyway,soon somebody like Ambode or a smart Yoruba politician in Lagos will soon cash in on the Enormous potentials of the Igbo and Patner with them.

Bala Mohammed and the Bauchi People are reminding other states how to use the Igbo For socio-economic and political growth.

It is Petty and infantile and unprogressive to keep thinking that Igbos will claim your lands....just like that

Take note bro

FreeStuffsNG:
I have been stating this fact for years now but people don't know.

Clean data from JAMB, INEC, NCC and Google maps show proven large expanse of green agrarian unoccupied land in the South-East geopolitical zone which has the smallest land mass area in Nigeria. It is incontrovertible evidence that prior to the use of space and technology, the population of Southeast indigenes have been inflated for political and corruption reasons.

Giving Southeast 5 states from a land mass about the size of Oyo State is a grave injustice to the South West and North which are regions with both high population and huge land mass. The Southeast political elite have been ripping off Nigeria by not turning such a small place with small population into Dubai or Doha.


As a matter of fact, the 3 major tribes in Nigeria are Hausa, Yoruba and Fulani.


That has been done. JAMB data use real biometrics, NIN and registered GSM number. Southeast always turn out the least!

It's so bad that on the analysis of JAMB data, it reveals that about 75% of the JAMB candidates with state of origin from Southeast are registered in South East and about 20% are within the states that border Southeast. Only about 5% are registered in the South West and North. By extrapolation, less than 25% of the total population of Igbo is actually domiciled outside Igboland. It is factually wrong that most Igbo are even domiciled outside Southeast. The population has always been small but overbloated for corrupt purposes by the Igbo political elite and their collaborators in Federal Government.

Before you and other Igbophobics in Lagos....only in Lagos oo....started this new Igbophobia in 2015 because of Tinubu, I thought all of you used to say that the Hausa-Fulani hegemonist have been manipulating Population figures;

You used to say that the departing colonialists gave them power before leaving...Which is why they have been controlling the levers of power in Nigeria since independence.

Has it Changed?

Is your mind now telling you that it's Igbos that have been in Power and not the Hausa-Fulani?

Your mind is now telling you that Igbos are using their Political Power to manipulate population result; it didn't tell you that 'till date,starting from over 60 yrs ago,Igbos have never held political power?

#FreeStuffNg,the rate at which you dissipate spiritual energy hating at these people,they must have committed a Crime on you which you can't forgive.

What's the crime? Let's help bring them to Justice for you.

Please tell

Ezewuzie01:
Peter Obi can continue donating from his Pandora loot and he will still not be President. If he believes that he can bribe God with looted funds to make him President, he was deceived. He should make public the total amount in that hidden foreign account that the Pandora papers exposed and why he hid the money abroad under his daughter's name.

Is it your money? Is your government's money missing anywhere through Peter Obi?

Can't you see that with the kind of opposition against Peter Obi,People like Soludo would be very glad to exposes any wrong Peter Obi committed?

Think.

TimeManager:
Igbo-centric donations. His antecedents in the last election where he appointed Southeasterners as cordinators in other geopolitical zones precedes him. Hopefully he can amend his tribal prejudice going forward.

-Kiss the truth!

Yeah,hopefully he can "Amend his tribal prejudices going forward"

You didn't Remember they said his donations are work in Progress.May be that of SouthWest will be the largest and at the best time.

Afterall Charity begins at home.Or has the saying stopped because of Peter Obi?

Then again,why did you forget that The leaders of the Obidients Movement Nationwide are not Igbos;Those in charge of the Finances and Administrations.

You forgot that his Campaign Manager is Yoruba...followered by Another Yoruba.It's the Yoruba Campaign managers that appoints co-ordinators!!

His Campaign monies are received and managed by that Musim woman from Edo state.

His Party is not lead by Igbos.

Learn to think these things through before commenting your WishFul thoughts.

Though you don dey try small small sha

Didn't We say it before?

Where it matters most,Tinubu lacks depth as a Leader..

...Political capital is more important to him than efficient and compassionate leadership...that's why he was thoughtless in dishing out N160 million+N250 million bungalows to 35 players and crew of the female National team(i.e about N15billion in total)...wouldnt N50 million each to those small Girls and their crew be enough for them? Wouldn't there be Super Falcons anymore in future?

Just because he deceived himself that by doing so Nigerians will love and vote for him.Haba mallam!!!

Tinubu's attitude to the full definition of Morale rectitude is bewildering.

This means he hasn't been thinking of the well-being and morale of our security agencies; fighting Bandits,Terrorists,Armed robbers and kidnappers with an empty stomach.

That's how he Approved Wike to use N39 billion(N39Billion!!!) to Renovate(not build oo) a Conference center and named it after himself....instead of naming it after an inspiring National Hero(a non politician) or even after the very persons who originally built the Conference center.

Look,the grand case of profligacy and corruption that will be discovered of Tinubu when he leaves Office will be astoundimg and embarrasing even to those who currently thinks he's the best thing to ever happen to Nigeria.

Learn to call a spade by it's name.So that our humanity will not diminish.Learn it.

emkz:
So where is Peter Obi now?

He is not exactly being courted by LP. They had threatened his expulsion before Datti attended their NEC meeting. He is also in limbo in ADC ad Atiku does not intend to relinquish the ticket to him. Rotimi Amaechi is also unlikely to allow Obi get the vice presidential ticket. Make no pretence, El Rufai doesn't like Obi either.

PDP has courted him, but Wike, Makinde, Saraki and Bala are unlikely to support him as they'd feel sidelined.

If Obi doesn't plan well, he might lose out in LP and ADC. That would be the end of his politicL experiment.

Assuming Peter Obi doesn't run or loses, would he continue his emergency philanthropy and serving food that received social media traction this year?

They have resolved the matter; Atiku has been persuaded to let go untill 2031 but it wasn't an easy resolution; his conditions.....which was almost like co-presidency with Obi...was tough but Obi was also persuaded to agree.He signed,they signed,issues resolved.That's why ADC seemed to come back to Life again since Monday.

See?

Whatever a man sow that shall be reap.

If you sow hostilities amongst the tribes of Nigeria,you'll surely reap the punishment in due time.

If you are an LGA Chairman today and because of politics you get carried away by Ethnic chauvinism and unwisely make enemies of other tribes,bro trust me,your political career won't go far: the people you offend have marked you for future elections...with their votes.( No Ethnic champion in any state can wish away the votes of the people he doesn't like.It's their fundamental rights to vote and they'll remember you that day)

If you are an ordinary citizen and an Ethnic bigot,all your comments online and offline is being noted.When you're about to get a job,or sign that deal,or marry that your dream woman,or about to get that critical help or services,you'll be checked out and it'll be all over for you.

In fact,even the Nigerian laws against Ethnic and Religious Bigotry will Soon use you to do example

They are looking after and preserving their own indigenouus heritage and Homeland , if we don't do the same our future generations will blame us terribly

The Heritage and history of Lagos can not be Complete without taking into account the roles and contributions of ALL the Peoples of diverse Ethnic groups that helped make Lagos what it is today.

This is what Fashola Was saying recently; that the names of streets,Busstops and areas in Lagos has a history with it irrespective of the ethnic inclinations of the history makers.

Even the name #Lagos is from Portugal.

Don't let yourself be led by Pettiness and bigotry.Our desperate,cunny and petty-minded politicians are only intent on keeping us divided for their electoral survival.

Be wise

Lagos history will surely be preserve. The people without history can't change the history of Lagos.

Why do you hate "the people without" history" so much?

You're always attacking them.

Are they breaking any laws by exercising their rights in their own country; Voting,building their own houses,investing in your communities,coming out from their Villages to hustle.

What exactly are their crimes?

If you have no answers,then know that you are only aflicted by the demons strangling Nigeria; Ethnic and Religious bigotry,corruption,Nepotism and Mediocrity...

Exorcise these demons and let us all be free in this country.If you can't then the laws must be enforced to make All the bigots in Nigeria(Of all tribes) to rein in their demons..

...starting from the ban laws on Nairaland....

What exactly is the Crimes of All these other tribes(apart from Fulani herdsmen's crimes) to your tribe??

I need answers

Una too dey defend tribal things done by Igbos


This is a Nigerian national team and I don't see why an Igbo governor should try to split the team along tribal lines.

Igbos play the victim and complain about tribalism but they are the worst when it comes to tribalism

Your use of reverse psychology won't work...

You know that you and your people are terribly tribalist.And the good thing is that it pricks your conscience that's why you want to continually shift blame or deflect guilt so you can feel better.

You know that Imo governor is only hosting Imo indegenes....just 7 of them.

There are about 8 other Igbo girls in the team who're not there!

Now,is this the first time a state governor will specially honour an athlete from his State?

Benue Has done it for Francesca Ordega.

Should governor's stop hosting athlete from their states.
