Sirianese:
Baba done received heavy alert, just like Fayose

Exactly what happened...

They've been working on him since January(Even before the Coalition started).

Now jungle come mature

TimeManager:
I'm even more impressed and much more confident going into the next election. If I previously had 70% confidence, it has jumped up to 95%. This young man ticks all the boxes, even much more being tech savvy, youth appeal, intelligence and experience.
He contested for the highest office in his state and got over 480,000 votes, marginally losing to the incumbent Governor. It has shown how popular and widely accepted he is in his home state. You can't say such of other Chairmen of opposition. Can David Mark deliver Benue?, even as a sitting Senate President, he lost Benue. LP factional Chairman, Nnenadi Usman is a light paper in Kaduna. Iliya Damagun of PDP can't deliver Yobe either.
I am even more confident, lf INEC introduced e-voting, Nantawe would bring his expertise to bear. Opposition attempts at hacking INEC'S server and diverting APC votes will be ultimately disabled.
Anyhow you want it, let's go.

-Kiss the truth!

TimeManager,illusions de grandeur and hallucinatory idealism is your major weakness on this Forum.Learn to be realistic and truthful to yourself...at least sometimes.

Now have you forgotten What Peter Obi did to the most powerful and most popular APC chairman in history.... Adamu Abdullahi.

Obi Summarily defeated him in his State,LGA,Ward and polling unit.Obi won Nassarawa,remember?

Even without "structures"oo

Now Obi is gathering support structures here and there and you think it's Yilwatda Nantawe that can challenge him? Who is Yilwatda? Not even Kwankwaso as we expected?


Now Instead of you to start worrying about Nantawe's capacity to face Peter Obi in 2027 you are there day-dreaming as you normally do.

You better start worrying oo

sleek214:
Seems you didn't read my post well. The other politicians you mentioned are all rooting for Atiku and they want Obi to complement him. Not Obi as the candidate... You guys should read well na

If you think they are working for Atiku Then you don't understand ambitious Politicians...especially these ones;

Each of them secretly aspires to be President one day; an Atiku presidency means they'll never ever be President!

How?

If Atiku becomes President in two years time...and rule for 8 years,has ten years not gone? Then another Southern President takes over from Atiku and rule for...say...another 8 years,hasn't 18 years gone on their ambitions? If you add 18 yrs to their current ages of mid-60s won't they be almost in their 90s when another opportunity will come to them?

They believe that if they can ensure Obi keep to his Promise of one term,then 2031 is a better time to actualise their ambitions.

Got it?

Silasworld:
Please you should not bring politics into the beautiful game of football

So..

...to wish good luck to our National team is "Politics"?

How?

Where is the political statement there?

Speak..make I hear.

sleek214:
Wake up from your slumber. Obi can't defeat Tinubu....
The North will not vote an Obi over Tinubu .
Stop making politics look hard, it's a very simple game to play. When Tinubu wanted to defeat GEJ, he sponsored and supported Buhari....
You guys should stop playing nzobuzobu politics, if not presidency will be far from you guys.... Stop listening to lightweight politicians from the North like Datti, that are pushing for Obi, these are guys that can't win their polling units. Have you heard any heavyweight politicians from the North talked about giving the tickets to Obi? They want Obi in the coalition so the victory will be landslide and difficult to rig... Obi and his people should negotiate for 2031 or 2035. That's how you wrestle power, it is not given..

Why are you disturbing yourself...trying to dissuade Obi and his supporters?Trying to "demoralise" them?

If you truly know that Obi can't beat Tinubu(even though you saw what Obi did to Tinubu in the last elections) why bothering to "discourage" him or his supporters.

Ignore them if you can

But wait oo,why do you choose to make refference only on you Datti and leaving out El-Rufai,Malami,Sule Lamido,Babangida Aliyu and even Tambuwal who're all falling over themselves to work with Obi.

Northern Political leaders want Tinubu gone and only with Peter Obi can they do it.And they already know his electoral antecedent.

All Peter Obi needs from the far North is just 3-4 million votes and 25% in Jigawa,Kebbi,Borno,Bauchi,Gombe and Niger states,that's all.

Better start preparing for a Peter Obi presidency,trust me

flokii:
We warned them severally to face their home region and develop the place, they called us names.
Now that Yorubas have finally decided to "ronu", let's see how they will boast about buying up lands in South West or call Lagos no man's land.
Most Yorubas I know (myself inclusive) don't make such annoying assertions about Lagos, even though it's our home, in our home region, we still recognize the makeup of the State. It's time for Yorubas from all over to protect all Yoruba territories including Lagos State to avoid stories that touch later.

Nnamdi Azikiwe tried to separate Lagos from South West but failed, Ojukwu tried same thing from the letter he wrote to Victor Banjo describing Lagos as a colony that will be under Igbo administration once they invade South West region.
Most people don't know that the greed of Ojukwu to annex lands in South West was what fueled the civil war and got Yorubas angry, they are towing same path today thinking Yorubas can't send them pack.ing.

Flokii, did you say that it was "the greed of Ojukwu to annex Yorubaland that #lead to the Civil war#?

What a shame bro!!

To think that some like-minded Ignoramuses are even "liking" such dangerously silly mis-information!

Anyway....in summary...the Civil war was caused by the Federal govt refusing the "Biafran" region to form a separate country!!

The Biafran Leaders needed a separate sovereign country to offer a sanctuary to millions of Easterners(Igbos,Anangs,Efiks,Ijaws,Ikwerres,etc) who were being massacred daily by Hausa-fulani millitias and backed by the Federal govt in the North.

The Northerners were massacring the Easterners in "Revenge" for a coup they called "An Igbo" Coup( Which they later admitted was a wrong notion; according to IBB,OBJ,Gowon,Sa'ad Abubakar,etc)

Now You have learnt the cause of the War;

As for Victor Banjo,he was Ojukwu's most trusted and brilliant commander; After successful campaigns...winning Territories....as he was about to Enter and capture the Federal Capital Territory which was Lagos...so as to arrest Gowon and bring the war to a quick end,his Yoruba brothers bought him over.

Ojukwu and Easterners felt betrayed; the second time.

The First betrayal was when Ojukwu released Awolowo from Calabar Prison so he can come and mobilise his People so that Southern Nigeria will be separated from the rustic Northern Nigeria.

Awolowo returned home and joined the government of Gowon as the Finance and co-ordinating minister of the country....working with the same Northern hegemonist he hated....and marshalling out plans and strategies and international collaborations on how to....to...defeat the Easterners!

So Flokii,please always get proper knowledge of histories and issues before coming to comment here so we can all enjoy the engagements.

Thanks

Firebox123:
keep lying

Wellcome to this forum,Firebox123...

Please always ensure you are properly informed and grounded in knowledge before any arguements here....

And your comments must be engaging,mature and not less than 40 characters;

Now take this; the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway did not pass through any SouthEastern states.

Scratch that

Tjra:
Thanks for the advice 😃

You're wellcome.

Great guy.

CoronaVirusPro:
Jobless youths. Energy that could have been invested into tech, engineering or medicine.

Instead of getting busy, they will keep replying every political line.

The Governor of Edo state has spoken as the chief security officer of the state and there is nothing all of you can do about it.

You will only wail online. Many you have not learnt and still do not know the force you up against.

Is this what you have finally become?

Political Extremism and intolerance is reaching a dangerous level and you are supporting it?

PowerDrunk elements are being permited in our Political system and you are supporting it??

If you are not a child,you should know the consequences of these things...

...usually,one day,you'll be the victims too.

See?

Tjra:
Happy birthday Kate Henshaw.

So surprising she's just 10 years younger than Peter Obi.

Kate 54 looking 28
Obi 64 looking 84

Tjra,it's like you're one of those who only come to Nairaland just to troll with sarcastic quips and retorts and one line inanity just to enjoy a few "likes" from impressionable young lads...

Please We want to be enjoying your comments on Nairaland so try to be sounding robust,mature and engaging.

Thanks

yarimo:
If not for the arrest they could have blame it on fulani herdsmen

By making comments like this you are saying that there's nothing like Fulani Kidnappers!

You are saying that all those victims of Fulani kidnappers,all those eye witness of the activities of Fulani kidnappers are all lies,right?

Listen,everyone knows that Kidnappers in Nigeria are of all Nigerian ethnic groups but comments like these implies that there are no Fulani Kidnappers in Nigeria and the SE.

Is that what you are implying?

What inspires you to always make subversive comments like this?All the time.

stuffs2002:
Yet Nnamdi Azikiwe was basically a glorified receptionist to Tafawa Balewa because Tafawa Balewa was the head of government.

Nnamdi Azikiwe was just ceremonial office with absolutely no power and had no value whatsoever

But before he became the "Ceremonial" President...he was the #Governor General#...just as Lord Lugard or MacPherson.... with complete powers as the head of state...ruling as he pleased

Bet you didn't know that before.Google it and come back here.

CyracksMrBlogger:
Obi always getting his figures very wrong. Na by force to be president?

Guy dey calm down...

You should be asking yourself why Obi's political opponents are always desperate to make it appear like Obi is wrong...but they end up exposing their own follies.

Can't you see here that the Brewery is said to be generating 28 million monthly? Multiply that by 12 months in a year;(i.e N336million a year)

Then multiply again by two years(2023&2024)...

...almost N700million.

Now compare that with the about N600million their "highest" payer(Fidelity Bank) generated in the same two years!!

Even though the Bank is equally Obi's bank.

So always remember that in Politics,darkness will always want to swallow light!

abbey621:
Respect means don't call a place no man's land and start chest beating that all the indigenes there are tenants while you and your people are there landlords. It's never done, not in China, Turkey, Russia or majority of European countries. The disrespect only fueled the disdain and if we're being honest, charity should begin at home right? When will a Yoruba person be allowed to contest for local government chairman of an Eastern state not to talk of governor?

I mean if we're talking about living freely in the country and being seen/heard, what's good for the goose should also be alright for the gander!

Electoral victories or Political advantage goes hand in hand with Numerical strength!

How many are Yorubas or Hausas in the SouthEast. Out of a probable population of a Total of 25 million People living in the 5 SE states,Yorubas are not up to 60,000 in the entire SE!! less than 0.01%!

How do you expect them to hope to contest elections.

Nobody is stopping them if they give it a shot!!

Now to the issue of "no man's land";

Just because a few ill-informed people...a few actually(even on Nairaland)...spoke carelessly in an attempt to remind people that Lagos,being a former FCT, is a melting pot of All Nigerians,does not mean that Trouble makers should start bandieng the lie that the entire Igbos sees Lagos as a "No man's land"

It' is the Handiwork of divisive politics....using vile propaganda...that is pushing that narrative.Many are falling for it...you inclusive.

Igbos do not see Lagos as "no man's Land" since time immemorial(That's why they don't contest for governorship post despite having the constitutional right and the numerical strength.GRV is not Igbo oo)

So when divisive politicians take advantage of a misunderstood comment by one or two non-indigenes,this is what you get.

See?

richiemcgold:
.. 🤔 reading most of the comments above, I wonder why some people are seriously and visibly pained about this development. What's their problem?

They're pained because they are seeing an unnecessary Ethnic witchhunt and a declaration of war on their people by a group of people with whom they've live with for decades before APC Politicians got clever by half....

They're pained because an unfounded,malicious and falacious narrative against them is being propagated by certain staunch bigots.

They're pained because there's a needless expressions of fear...of them.Really needless

Now what do you think?

SoftSport:
Very good. Everywhere you go please respect your host. Thank you Sanwo Olu for listening to your people.

It was the Handiwork of a Local government chairman who happens to be an Ethnic bigot...not Sanwo-Olu.

Anyways,the old names have already stuck with the people on ground

See?

richie240:
This lack of respect for una host na why den dey give una woto-woto for Ghana currently.

"Respect your host" una talk say no!
Na d tin una eyes dey find e dey see so.

What is "Respect your host"?

Does "respect" mean that Igbos and their interests should not be seen and or heard. They should not live freely in their country? They should not buy properties? They should not vote and be voted for? They should not freely associate among themselves and have a leader in their various cultural and ethnic unions?

Are you serious?

How do they "Disrespect" their hosts? How?

Instead of condemning what is wrong...as a Civilised person...you are there bringing shame to our collective humanity

Reflect7:
Igbos need to stop this nonsense.

This whole idea of going to another man’s land and declaring yourself a king is just not on.

Why antagonise your hosts?

This is not Igbo tradition.

King of who?

Are they Declaring themselves Kings of their hosts? No!

They are only leaders of their own kinsmen United together in a host community? Na bad thing??

Hausas in all Igbo Towns and Villages have Sarkin Hausawa,Yorubas have Ọbá of Yoruba in Enugu State,Their Igbo hosts don't even think anything of it!

Listen..people have rights to associate or congregate together in a Union,simple!

The Unions must have leaders!

Why do some of you have issues with Igbo unions and their leaders in host communities?

Why the fear? Why the fear?

bestman09:
This is why i hate Chelsea fc. Their supporters will not allow someone to rest.

How is their happiness disturbing you?

How? Why?

If it is your Club that became the Champions of the world...with such classy display....won't you be happy and jubilant and brag about it?

The excitement of Chelsea fans should not be a source of bitterness for you.

Stop it

Englishisamust:
We should fry akara!! 😂😂Na mumu dey play conference League!!! Sey that one na league!!! . . Chelsea fans no get shame dem dey celebrate conference League too... Chelsea life don arsenal I swear..

I don't understand oo..

But Chelsea just won the Biggest Cup in World Club football....meaningg they're better than any Club in the world!!

You didn't hear about it??

Chelsea is world champion;

Meditate on that first of all

Rexymania:
Tout club

Big clubs don't play conferences league

Small pikin talk...

Is it not when the "big" club qualify for it that they can even get to play the Conference league?

Qualify for it first.

By the way,Chelsea is the biggest and best club in the world right now!!

Argue am make I see.

Putindbutt:
Lol, this one is talking about Plateau state, what's the business of Plateau with core Muslim north already resisting Obi?. If they can be angry with him wearing an Hausa attire, do you think they want to see him or his tribe in Aso rock?.
Despite digging boreholes and bowing in mosques, he's still being rejected.

If "they" ....

So one bigoted extremist is now "they"?

You wish.

Is this the first time Obi will wear Hausa clothing in the North?? No!

Now hear this; In the North right now they have learnt their lessons in the hands of their so-called Northern leaders and Clerics.And they have learnt their lessons from anything Fulani.

They trooped out two days ago to celebrate the death of a Fulani man they once worshipped.

Now Why should they care about the death of the original Fulani leader who established the fulani dynasty over them...killed in a military coup.

And you think the entire Hausas in the far North... and even some Fulanis like El-Rufai...will allow one rigid bigot to demarket their Presidential candidate in the Person of Peter Obi.

Always remember the latest Dynamics in the North before wishing away Peter Obi

TimeManager:
Peter Obi has earned for himself an unpleasant reputation, everybody don sabi am so. And you don't even want to mess with Nigerian students.


-Kiss the truth!

You wish...

Nothing will come out of it; instead it will generate more love and sympathetic attention to Peter Obi.

Why?

Nigerians will see it as a sponsored attempt to Smear Peter Obi by the corrupt and inefficient Establishment.

Right now any publicity on Peter Obi is good for him; that's how he defeated Tinubu in Lagos,Abuja,Plateau,Nassarawa,Benue,Edo,etc with no structures and no sitting or "Defected" governor's to help him.

Bro,People have already made up their minds 6 months into Tinubu's government;they're voting him out....especially people in the Northern states.

Nothing any Tinubu supporter can say against Peter Obi that'll sway people away from Peter Obi.

But...you can keep trying sha

TimeManager:
I want to believe this Mr Ogbonna was off of Agulu- made Mkpurummiri when the microphone was put before him. Next time, the media should ensure the mental wellness of anyone talking on the microphone before giving them the opportunity.

-Kiss the truth!

Deep down in your heart you know the man is saying the truth; Electoral Authorities and Govt officials in Lagos often device means to disenfranchise the Igbos from voting.

At polling Units,they systematically separate the Igbos from Yorubas by asking that those whose names starts with letter "A" and "O" (mostly Yorubas) to queue on a particular line.Then they'll only attend to them mostly till voting stops.

Then before and even during elections they surpress Igbo voters with the use of thugs who openly threaten to kill or maim the voters if they dared come out to vote or be Voted for.

That you pretend not to know these reveals things about you; what a shame.

Even Tinubu's Bayo Onanuga has officially said that Igbos should stop "interfering" in Elections in Lagos!!

What does that mean??

Anyways,Igbos are irrepressible.No one can dare stop them from voting if they truly are determined to Vote; Some thugs tried it at Okota one time and the Igbo Voters lynched them!!

So make them carry on; the perpetrators and their pretentious enablers..

...the chickens will always come home to roost!

Hespee93:
Point of correction.

The the Ibo president Ibos voted for.

You wish....

Obi won Plateau,Nassarawa and Taraba states? Are they Igbos?

Obi defeated Tinubu in the FCT of the Gbagyi,Gwari and Nupe people...are those ones Igbos?

Obi nearly defeated Atiku in Adamawa.Are Adamawas Igbo?

Obi won Edo,Akwa-Ibom,Bayelsa and Cross-River states? Are they Igbos?

Obi got significant votes from Yorubas in Lagos,Oyo,Osun and Ogun states.

The Votes of Urhobos,Ijaws and Itsekiris in Delta State made Obi defeat everyone in Delta!! Are they Igbos.

I'm even forgetting Benue and Kaduna.Are they Igbos?

Bro,your comments childish gan!

Google "2023 Election results" and educate yourself!!

Next time make sure you think things through and be properly informed before commenting on Nairaland.

Anyways,now Obi is realigning and restrategizing to capture the votes of Sule Lamido's Jigawa,Aliero's Kebbi,Buhari's Katsina,Yobe,Borno,Saraki's Kwara,Dino and Natasha's Kogi,IBB's Niger,Gombe and Mohammed Bala's Bauchi....to add to his already captured states.

Now no amount of rigging,half-truths,propaganda and bigotry and wish-ful thinking can Wish Obi away in 2027!!

[/quote
Are you in this country at all??!! How do you think Tinubu will win NW and NE if the Political leaders from that side are backing Peter Obi in the ADC.?

Majority of the Peoples of the Northern region (NW NE and NC) are now more angry at Tinubu than ever!

It started 6 months into Tinubu's govt...

Even though Tinubu is doing his best... (taking tough decisions for a better tommorrow)...what the average Nigerian...especially Northerners...want to see is an improvements in their situation...even little...not a worsening of their situation...

..they want the deaths and violence on their lives to stop! They want to live and work in peace in their communities! They want prices of foodstuff and other commodities to return back to how Tinubu met it.Others want dollars to return to N450/$.

So Politicians...especially in the North..took advantage of the discontent to try to remove Tinubu from power; It's the way of politicians.Tinubu is even better at it.

The Northern masses follow their political leaders massively.

So the Northern Political elite did their calculations and decided that if Peter Obi can agree for one term,he's better to be partnered with(Emphasis on "patner" i.e to leverage on Obi's cult following in Plateau,Benue,Abuja,Taraba,Kaduna,Adamawa and the entire SE and SS!!

So they formed the coalition and adopted the ADC....with Atiku leading them on.

Atiku is supposed to wait patiently for Obi's one term to elapse(As agreed by all) but he worries about his age in the next six years!!(84 yrs!!) Won't that count against him at that time?he thinks.

But Atiku's Northern brothers are not comfortable with his new posturings cos it'll even affect their own personal calculations;(Age is very much on their side for the presidency in 2031 but age won't be on their side if Atiku becomes president in 2027 and leaves by 2035 when a Southerner takes over again and leaves in 2043!) Imagine El-Rufai's age in 2043!

Anyways,just know it that All Northern members and supporters of the ADC(NW,NE and even NC) will work for Peter Obi if he becomes the Flagbearer.It is silly to think otherwise...cos he too will work for them in 2031

Aregbesola and other Southwest Politicians in and out of the ADC and "OBIdients" will work for Obi's victory in the SouthWest.

And...by the way....even without "Structures" Obi never shared SouthEast and SouthSouth and most middle-belt states and the FCT with any politician(not to talk of now that many see Tinubu as "failing"

Therefore and finally... Peter Obi will likely emerge the ADC candidate and 85% of NorthWest and NorthEast Voters will queue behind him; add that to Obi's well-known strongholds(65% of NorthCentral,90% of SouthSouth and 95% of SouthEast)

Therefore wisdom from the perspectives above should advice you on how to be careful in analysing Tinubu's chances
going forward.

LegendHero:
If you are so observant, Tinubu is not on the list too.

That is why Tinubu must remain as president.

You're suprised Tinubu's name is not on the list,right?

So was I..

But later realised that the staticians can't afford to embarrass our President.

So to let matters rest, let's Just Google; "Tinubu corruption case"

And see what we may find

beerfraud:

I’m just passing

Everyone on Nairaland was Expecting you#beerfraud# to say something like this;

You mean you haven't heard similar stories like this from Ogbomosho in Oyo state,from Ikare-Ekiti,from Sabo-gida Ora in Edo,from Kenkia in Katsina even from Zimbabwe or Kenya...

Why did you choose to narrow it down to "Dem Dem"?

Dem use these "Dem Dem" do you?

Self-respect is key to respect

TheStranger:
Either ipob or cultism or ??
Regardless of what the issue was, it's a barbaric thing to do

I believe they went after certain Ebonyi persons in that meeting and to know what that meeting was plotting against the people of Anambra.

Certain youths of Ebonyi Origiins are accused of being the perpetratous of heinous crimes in Anambra...

So this might be the Handiwork of vigilantes, or aggrieved persons on vengeance..

That it happened on Monday might not mean it's IPOB;Most meetings are held on Mondays in the SE.

Besides the terrorists unknown gunmen also have youths of Ebonyi Origiins amongst them.

I don't think it's a sit-at-home thing
