I see that this Dayo obsession is still going on. That is what a Stan does.
I am not your messiah, I am not your God, I am not your parent.

You know, I saw a comment on a thread today and I just couldn't help but feel that it was addressing you.

On second thought, it might actually be you. We know how easy it is for you to open new monikers and spread your hate. From this account, to dayokanu to sleekdot, all filled with the most evil and darkest of hatred towards your fellow countrymen.

Now you've been unmasked fully, it calls to bear that you might have just sneaked into a new moniker (pandoraobi) in order to continue your tribal wars and campaign of hate and calumny because we all know you would rather die than live to see a person with "Igbo blood" become a Nigerian president.

I hope you hang yourself when obi wins, like some rabid white supremacist racists did when Obama became president.

Very good points made @op. Oil dey your head.

I am running for president of Nigeria, Peter Obi is my vehicle.
We must reclaim out mandate.

He twitter it himself.

Illimitable:
Is Elon Musk toying with my heart?

I just saw this. I think he's trolling

Elon musk just announced that he's buying Manchester united. Is he trolling or what?

Popizaino, as to your point about dayo, bro you can't say it's just online ranting. Online ranting is me just digging up 4 or 5 previously indicting posts which one could chuck up as just a spur of the moment, but I myself was absolutely shocked by the horrors of what I was seeing.

This was someone who was spouting such hatred against his fellow countrymen CONSISTENTLY FOR OVER 10 good years. ACROSS MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS! If they ban one account for his tribalistic warmongering, he goes and opens another one and continues from where he stopped.

Again, for 10 GOOD YEARS! Across multiple threads, monikers and locations. That is not just online hate, it's an exposure of an innate hatred habored in his mind towards a group of innocent people.

popizaino:
Yes on the emboldened.


I know this is needless but for context sake i will have to include it. I attended a secondary school that admit three students from each states across the federation with middle belt states having five students. My high school was a mini Nigeria,so I have an experience of how each tribe relate to one another. Yorubas related well with igbos than with any other tribe in my school and vice versa. There was no form of animosity between us. Thus,i can't think of a Yoruba man hating on igbos except online. Now think about this if you say Dayo hate igbos and not mere online ranting,was it not an igbo man that Dayo openly invited for a drink should he find himself in the USA amid his Yoruba brother like airmar.k and even his village person like me?

Bro you are correct as to the yoruba-igbo peaceful coexistence.
As I've said numerously before, no other tribe have as much coexistence as igbos and Yorubas. I myself have several intertribal cousins. I have several relatives on both sides who married inter-tribally.

After the war, many igbo businesses were returned to their Igbo owners.

Which is ironically one of the reasons I now hate Tinubu. Blueraydick get this next paragraph I'm writing very well.

Since Tinubu came into Lagos, this narrative has begun to form like he's the owner or grand leader of Lagos,for the past few years, Lagos politics has increasingly become tribalistic in nature, you hear this common narrative, that yorubas gave Igbo lands for businesses and now they are trying to do anyhow in Lagos.

That narrative has thrived because igbos don't fall under the Tinubu's political enchantment.
Mind you, igbos have been in Lagos even precolonial Nigeria.

Nollywood industry was formed in Lagos pre Tinubus Lagos, actors and actresses like nkew owoh, Clem ohameze, patience ozokwor, Genevieve nnaji, kanayo, and many of these legends all made their names in Lagos! All these in the 80s and 90s.

And now you hear people telling them that they left their homelands and came to TINUBU'S Lagos and are against him?

Suddenly one would think Tinubu is who made the entire Lagos state!
And these false narratives have been pushed repeatedly by his propaganda media houses which he owns such that the repeated lies now bear semblance.

Blueraydick am I lying?
It's no longer egregious to hear that Tinubu made Lagos! That a drug baron seized the entire political structure of the most influential state in Nigeria and now has it completely in his palms now means that there was no Lagos before he came! All the infrastructural developments that happened 100 years before Tinubus time mean nothing.

Is it today that people started emigrating to Lagos? Is this not because Lagos has been built to indeed be the economic capital of the country? With the international airport there and the deepest seaport there for the past 50 years.

But the man keeps using the phrase, Tinubus Lagos.
Suddenly going against one man equates to going against the entire tribe. Even when his kinsmen go against him, they are tagged bastards. Even awolowo didn't drive anti Igbo sentiments despites a section of the igbos strongly believing he betrayed them. He still created a conducive environment for all tribes to flourish in the west.

Why is Tinubu and his supporters making it seem like intertribal cohesion started with him? I really can't understand that.

BlueRayDick:
I didn’t just make that up in my head when I said it and I didn’t just say it based on what I read on this thread or nairaland front page alone .

I live in Lagos , I listen to radio programs I hear people of different ethnic backgrounds call in , I meet people of different ethnic groups on a daily basis ……. I do more of listening than talking and I hear clearly the whole tribal undertone that surrounds the candidacy and followership of the top 3 candidates .

I tell u, we are not ready . Of a truth out of the 3 candidates Tinubu seem like the most detribalized on paper and going by his past antecedents but his followers/supporters are not ( They would gladly call u a bastard if they identify as a Yoruba supporting Obi). Obi has followership from other tribes but some of his supporters are extremists and bullies . Atiku supporters may not really be tribalists but they are willing to portray the other two candidates as tribalist and pitch them against each other .

Have you had any awkward personal experience with any of the candidates supporters?

BlueRayDick:
Popi is not based in Nigeria , that’s why he said he won’t be voting .

Ohh really?? He's abroad too? I'm really surprised, I never knew.

Popizaino, if I recall right, you are a yoruba moslem too, right?
I'm sorry for the tribal profiling but just like black Americans always see color, this election has made me become quite curious about ethnic inclinations.

Dayo really shocked me with the revelations I made about him. I respected the guy soo much, we aligned in soo many issues previously. To have discovered the very egregious things I saw and keep seeing in his post history was a sound reality check that has made me now constantly ask, if someone who I respected habored such dark and twisted tribal hatred despite his level of advancement, are there more people like that??

popizaino:
I will not be voting.

That is the very worst offense bro. Not voting is still voting because someone must be there and you are purposely and deliberately relinquishing your right to some else.

And know this, we all directly feel the impact of governance, whether good or bad, so if you don't vote, you are denying yourself a serious responsibility.

You are literally cutting your nose to spite your face.
Wrong choice bro. There are like 10 candidates, you have to pick one who aligns with you but you must execute your civil responsibilities.

Oasis007:

Oasis please can you honestly answer me one question? I promise to be calm and not abrasive.
Did you campaign against Jonathan in 2015?

Me 4 months ago.

donjazet:
We've said it before, Peter obi is not a saint, but what he is, is the best of the rest.
Voting Tinubu or osinbajo is an endorsement of this past administration and a continuation of the malady wrought upon us the last 8 years.

Things are soooo bad from how they were in 2015, mind you which we thought was also bad. This turned out to be 5 times worse. This administration effectively set us back decades. An economic failure, both fiscal and policy wise. This administration which tinubu and osinbajo are a key part of, promised to end corruption in Nigeria. Today, we're seeing with our eyes how terrible it has become, with the flagrant abuse and the dollarization of our politics.

It's not even been up to one month I made my choice on obi. Obi keeps increasing his followership because people have looked for who the better alternative to atiku, tinubu, wike, osinbajo are, and people have settled on the best among the rest.

If there was no obi, I might look on sowore or moghalu or worst of all, at frustration levels, Osibanjo.

BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO GET INVOLVED. GET YOUR PVC.

Theflint1:
I'm confident Tinubu's camp was responsible for that, it's a lame attempt at whipping up tribal sentiments...they own the machinery for thuggery/vandalism in Lagos.

Tinubu campaign and tribalism na 5 and 6.
Can't you see joezinho who is even about to leave the country and immigrate to a foreign land still whipping up tribal sentiments? I'm weak bro. Blueraydick is actually right. I thought Nigerians are ready to move past tribal sentiment but it seems it's set to be worse given the ethnic makeup of the major candidates. But the worst defaulter of tribal campaigning right now is no doubt Tinubus camp. This inane attempt to link Obi and IPOB together. To link his supporters as ipob supporters, the ethno-religious campaign slogan. Emilokan etc.

We go shock them. Nigerian youths are not playing.

popizaino my friend I sight you. Have you made your choice? Which candidate do you lean towards? I've noticed you've been sharing some of my posts recently, are you now a comrade?

Are you obidient and useful to your country?

Theflint1:
Don't be surprised it's Tinubu's camp that tore it, as an excuse to unleash terror on Peter Obi's camp in Lagos.

You just can never tell my brother.

These people and propaganda na 5 and 6.

Just look at this one below. Propaganda is all they know.

Blueraycock_ my friend.

Can you share where you lean so far? I suspect of course Obi but if for some reason, you don't want to vote for him, who would be your second choice?

A man can dream! This was me 4 months ago.

Who knows, if we rally very well, we might just come together and vote en masse for that strong third party and fade away these 2 evil parties. It seems like a pipe dream but we the youths have the numbers to do that. Less than 15 percent of the population voted in the last election. Let's bump that number up to 45% and see the magic that happens

Don't skip, read that my last paragraph up there again.

Idealism is a beautiful thing.

Modified; Fvck! Just noticed that this a new page. Still, Oasis my friend go back and read that last paragraph again.

Sometimes I go back to some of my oldest comments and I'm like yeah! I said that right.
This is one of those moments.

donjazet:
Seriously what the hell is wrong with you guys?? Like what the hell is REALLY wrong with you guys??

It is a known fact that across all social media platforms, Peter obi has the most organic (non-paid) supporters. The majority of youths support him.

Do you know why? IDEALISM! Every single person knows that Peter obi did not have the ground game for this PDPs national ticket, because he is not one to steal public funds and use as the rest are doing.
What his supporters aimed to do was recreate the national awareness across all platforms, from Whatsapp status to Twitter to Facebook, Instagram etc.. just as exactly was done during the endsars protest.

An organic movement that transforms from the digital space to our reality. You could see me as one individual urging us to go and register to get our PVC.

Peter obi is not a saint but he was certainly the best of the rest. An experienced leader, astute in communication, well rounded in leadership, economically astute and most importantly possessed the frugality desperately needed right now for government officials. Someone that has been in the system but NOT in the system.

CANT YOU SEE? Just look at us, casually laughing away our future, making jest of how our politicians are looting and spreading our common wealth amongst themselves. See us laughing over politicians sharing 5 million naira per head, money we know, they will aim to recoup when they win and that CYCLE OF ENDEMIC CORRUPTION CONTINUES.

We need something to give us hope, we can't just give in to the despair and hopelessness of our country not getting better.

Who knows, if we rally very well, we might just come together and vote en masse for that strong third party and fade away these 2 evil parties. It seems like a pipe dream but we the youths have the numbers to do that. Less than 15 percent of the population voted in the last election. Let's bump that number up to 45% and see the magic that happens.

BlueRayDick:
DonJ , Of late I have taken time to actually do an assessment of the optics as regards the coming elections as it partains to the top 3 candidates and I’ve noticed serious tribal undertones amongst their supporters . Initially I thought maybe this 2023 elections will be different but it seems I was wrong after-all .

As it stands it looks more likely Peter Obi will win majority votes in the 5 southeastern states , along with maybe one or two states in the south south while Atiku of PDP will get majority in some
core northern states and north central as well. PDP’s influence in the south south will also get him votes there as well . Tinubu of APC will most likely win in most southwestern states and also get votes from the northeast as well .

Tribal sentiments will no doubt play a major
role in deciding the eventual winner going by the tribal card already being played by different supporters of the candidates . I may be wrong , but I don’t think we’ve grown past that tribal politics as a people.

As it stands I do not hold the believe that Peter Obi will not win at least 4 states as I opined earlier ( He will certainly win more than that ) . On this note I wish to cancel the bet we had earlier because as a matter of principle I always make it a point of duty not to lose any single kobo on a venture/idea I do not believe in.

I know u may want to ask if I’m OBIdient or not. For now I’m not. If and when campaign starts and Obi rolls out his manifestos and gives reasonable answers as to how he intends to achieve some of those promises , he will have my vote .

However if he doesn’t, he won’t get my vote . But one thing is sure , I’ve seen and read enough to know I won’t vote Tinubu particularly as it pertains to his health

You didn't need to type all this long grammar to tell me you know you've lost the bet.

I'm just very glad that Obi's support have far surpassed what people thought it would be. They've seen how this man have SINGLEHANDEDLY gained national appeal.

When the movement started, people said Obi can't even win his state, then they said he can't win the east, now they're saying he can only win SE and SS.

Well, let's see but all the same I'm glad you've realized and I'm sure happy with the fact that Peter Obi is now a national phenomenon.

He's not perfect but he's the perfect person for this time. The perfect person would perhaps have been someone who hasn't ever tested Nigerian politics before but then we would have said that having no experience of leadership at all is a dangerous thing in this perilous times.

I wish you well bro.

Before and after 24 hours in Lagos.
I've said it. Lagosians will shock Tinubu. They are ready to unchain themselves from the political slavery he emeshed Lagos in.

Let's not even talk about the fact that a presidential candidate decided to use an ethnic-colored slogan as his primary label.

Nothing screams tribalism and a rabid sense of entitlement like emi lokan. It's my turn!

Some Obidients are crazy people.

Fire on the mountain!

Tribalism has never helped anyone. See as tribalism wan injure the opponents camp. I've always said that the yorubas are the most sophisticated group out there and these people are about to shock agbado master.

Of course the propaganda media arm of the drug baron keeps rolling.

How to control the media even if the public rarely hears or sees you.

Step 1. Become a drug pusher and money launderer. Make millions of dollars illegally.

Step 2. Be friends with the military dictatorship.

Step 3. Become governor of the richest state in the country.

Step 4. Control the entire political structure of the biggest state by keeping the states Treasury in your pocket. Either by legally alloting billions of naira to yourself Vai pensions, allocating lands to yourself and legally making the entire state pay taxes to you such that you become part of the wealthiest in the country.

Step5. Buy up major and minor media houses. Both print and television. Be the direct of employer of several hundreds of journalists at your beck and call.

Step 6. With this army of literary geniuses. Put them to work to systematically cleanse your image, defend your egregious past, be silent on your faults and attack your detractors and watch how the masses are muzzled in silence.

The masses have but one weapon. TGE DECENTRALIZED INTERNET.
A medium you cannot control nor direct. A new phenomenon out of your grasp. You try to ban them but people bypassed the bans easily. And everyone realizes that the emperor has no clothes.

Tinubu would not smell there

iSense247:
Like Totilopussylick, like Thrownback. You can't really know where they stand. They are everywhere and nowhere.

For thrownback, seems there are two. One of them cloned the others account.

One is throwback without the "n", that one na agbadorian, the other is throwNback, with the "n".

I've seen the same thing with abdul05 and abdul5. One agbadorian, the other OBIdient.

Emmynator:
Saying electric cars helps climate change is very funny, some of the service charging stations are being powered by coal plants and other non environmental friendly electricity generation means.

This is illogical!
Electric cars have solved a key part of a problem!

Before you have a situation where both power generation and vehicle usage combined to produce Green House gases, now you've successfully eliminated one part of the problem which is vehicle pollution and can focus on the second aspect which is power generation pollution.

To try and cancel out the fact that electric cars have eliminated car pollution problems because the power generation problem isn't solved is shortsighted.

Never let them them tell you opinion polls don't matter. It worked fantastically well in Kenya.

The candidate who was consistently polling higher and in a new party just won the election. Africa is growing.

Very interesting and noteworthy point here.

FatherOfJesus:
I personally think that the argument of APC in justifying their reason for a muslim-Muslim ticket which is that we should focus on issue-based politics is a logical fallacy, a fallacy called "special pleading".

Special pleading is an informal fallacy wherein one cites something as an exception to a general or universal principle, without justifying the special exception.

The point is, if the motive behind a south-north flag barrier/running mate is to create inclusiveness based on regions then why should that not that apply to religion with respect to regards the major religions. If you argue for inclusiveness then the least you can do is to represent the two major religions Which accounts for 97% of Nigerians

While I think all these sentiments don't matter, whether the region or the religion of a candidate but APC and other political parties already are spreading the narrative of inclusiveness to manage sentiments and now APC cannot choose when to break this rule. It's special pleading.

The Muslim-Muslim ticket is as insensitive as a north-north or south-south ticket IMO.
