I will admit that you are doing a great job at not only selling your candidate but more importantly, mobilizing people to get registered. To be honest, I am disappointed at how badly monetized the selection process has been in Nigeria thus far. P. Obi is relatable when you listen to him speak and he understands the process of simplifying administration/ Governance, however, does he have the reach on a National level? I love his courage and the resolve he is showing this time around, in comparison to the last time out. His decision to leave PDP for me showed a courage and a sense of self belief. Also, personally for me, the next president absolutely has to solve the despicable levels of insecurity and power generation in Nigeria for Nigeria to stand any chance improving its economic realities. For all we know and from experience, previous exposure to governance does not necessarily mean the candidate will do great things at the National level.

You guys supporting Obi should do more in speaking about his achievements in governance (public/ private) from like Obi did in the video you attached, especially from 13:00-25:00 than fighting other contestants. Let me also add that the last thing Obi needs right now is any kind of distraction or infighting within the Labor Party which is what seems to be going on with the factions in Labor Party.

PDP will miss the golden years of Saraki, Dino, Ben Bruce and Shehu Sani

With these numbers in the Senate and House, I'm expecting Wike to start filling in APC form soon in order to try and fulfill his Presidential ambition. Gubernatorial will also be a whitewash meaning PDP will have no more funds to operate. That will.put too.much financial strain on Rivers State and Wike and he will switch sides. He was already begging Buhari that he will give him Presidential if Buhari does not make Gubernatorial hard for him. Wike will try to join APC, mark my words.

APC will simply become the new PDP. SMH.

[color=royalblue]Bros, tribalism is for the poor.

Na poor people dey tear cloth and throw insults like you see on front page. The rich people don't even see tribe or religion in their dealings
Drop millions of Benjamins, and watch Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa Generals cling glasses together.

For him to raise funds to leave Nigeria in the first place is telling enough that he didn't want to remain here. Relocating abroad was probably a means to a better life for him, and why should he let a partner's infidelity get in the way of that?

He cannot cheat back, he cannot lock up and break up with her in his heart? Practically live as a stranger with her?

From the story, he obviously still can continue to remain there IF he has a sponsor, so what stopped him from secretly working on that and then confront her when he's got that sorted out? Switch from being a dependent visa holder to a skilled worker visa or something?

I am saying this bearing in mind the fact that "japa" was a preferred choice for HIM and we didn't know his condition while he was here. Of course, Nigeria is not going to kill him.

But how do you know you're in that vulnerable, tentative state and yet he probably went to confront her harshly, fuelled by his ego?

I am not justifying his position or what the wife did; and I can't imagine how devastating finding out about that would have been to him, but it is what it is.

It wasn't commonsensical for him to place his emotions over logic in that case. It will only be a erroneous sense of ownership that'll make you describe the bolded the way you did.

You don't have control over what anyone chooses to do with their genitals. Another man is not "fuçking" your wife, your wife is choosing to fuçk outside and the most you can do is not to respect her again. Confronting her wouldn't make her stop or change or respect you. Now he's literally looking for a sponsor helter-skelter, when he could have been doing the same thing calmly and with time on his side. Like he doesn't even have kiss up to her ass or become a stupid, fool for her.

So you go gather millions travel, and go through stress of settling down and shit, only for you to end up losing it all because of one unfaithful partner? Don't look at it from the angle of YOU not valuing relocation. It's about his life and goals here. That's the tact and wisdom.

See you talking like deportation is not a big deal. What if he never make it again, and this is his only shot? So watin he gain? Just because he wan prove headship and say e get value? I mean, he literally can do that WITHOUT it resulting in his deportation, no? I mean, he could have gotten a divorce from the woman without it as well. How did he confront her that she not only filed for divorce, but wanted him deported? She's wicked for that, but he should have bid his time and not go prodding the devil with a hot rod in the eye when he's dangling over a "lake of fire."

DeadPresidents:
Na the man fuckup allow her bring am as the dependent. When you’re the dependent, you need to understand your role.

People that don't know their left from right think atheism is traditional to the English culture. So many ignorant people on Nairaland.

I don't know where people get these false ideas from. When talking about classical philosophy, the English people aren't even among the founding figures.

Spy360:
I thought you said you were an atheist?

Uche gi opuola?

Geez. Africa is cursed. How on earth do you boldly slaughter your own subjects in broad daylight.

You see why I say military is definitely no better than the current leadership. Whatever you think is bad in African democracy is far worse in military hands. Damn.

A001:
The truth is the other races have more intelligent people than Africa.

And one solution to the problems of Africa is for us to have more intelligent people. Of all the continents in the world, Africa has the lowest value for collective intelligence in modern times.
That's why it's the most backward continent and the slaves of this world.

Emaprince:
From the posts I'm reading, everyone (both obidients and cornvicts) are on Don J neck today. So who come dey like and share all the donj posts?

Abi na feminists dey enter dey show support in return for . . . .

liveLongNprospa:
Nope I don't agree with you because in 2015 though young, I was already aware of the buhari of 1985 because I actually researched.
So I supported PDP through and through. Not because Jonathan was good but because buhari was monumentally worse.

I will also admit this that my family were pro PDP too and so that ensured I got proper hater information on buhari.

Also there's no way you can call apc an underdog in 2015.
No way in hell.

donjazet:
Just look at this picture you have posted and tell me how "these achievements" have benefited YOU as an individual?

I'm seeing there "influenced president Buhari's victory at the polls". I'm also seeing, "anchored APC's victory at the polls". Is this really supposed to be a flex??
I am asking you as a fellow Nigerian like me, somebody telling you that he brought this present government upon you, is it really a thing of pride??

I know how ashamed and apologetic I continue to be to everyone around me for trying to convince them to vote APC years ago.

I am deeply ashamed of my earlier affinity to APC because I can SEE and FEEL the failure of this bad government. Am I not supposed to be sorrowful for supporting this failure of a government?

Will I not be a mad person to be bragging about ushering in a proven failure upon us all.

Oasis07, let me ask you one honest question deviod of bants, are you paid to support this party?
Are the vast majority of your own relatives in support of this man? Your babe, your parents, your uncle's and aunty's, are they proud of you supporting this party? I mean no bants, I'm using my own personal experience to ask you these questions because a lot of people around me warned me about this party and I did not heed and today all of us have seen how bad they turned out to be.

akwesenana:
Simple question where I ask lol.
Your comprehension skills don dey go down though.

liveLongNprospa:
It's a funny situation.
ON one hand you are a hypocrite with how you've attacked people because of their choice in voting buhari especially twice.

But on the other hand you are correct in your assessment that nobody has been able to produce 10 screenshots in the 8yrs of buhari's rule of you defending him.
Now there's alot of screenshots of you insulting the same buhari and APC in general.

But then again knowing you abit, I'm very sure you did alot of your supporting act for buhari offline. Sadly I don't think anyone can prove this with any evidence then.

I do subscribe to change being constant and people are allowed to change but just because you committed a crime and you stopped being a criminal doesn't give you the leg to accuse current criminals who didn't stop when you did. They have every right to point out that not too long ago, you were also a criminal.

Sadly that's part of the consequences of doing something as stupid as supporting buhari twice. That shit is never leaving you.
But I respect the stubbornness to still hold former associates to account even when they show you were once an associate of "sai Baba" yourself 😁

Ibime:
This adjective progression dey make me laugh sha

I wasn't a supporter

After first evidence. . .

DonJ, you no go kill me with laughter oh

This is why your mummy doesn't like you.

Wait, diss.troy and nihilist are one? 🤔🤔🤔

Segedinho:
I voted Buhari cos I taught there definitely would be a positive change in what we were experiencing, just as I am hopping for Obi's manifesto.

I was glad and told people about the positivity of it when there was communication regarding the refineries

It took long to realised that we were heading yo destruction just cos I had "hope".....

Theflint1:

Theflint1:
Maybe he was saying all these to himself alone, and it wasn't him actively marketing Buhari to people.

Theflint1:
It's difficult to juxtapose saying you were Buhari's biggest supporter with you now saying your support was lukewarm, similar to Izzou's for Peter Obi. I don't expect Izzou to even in the peak of excitement say he was Peter Obi's biggest supporter because there's just no basis from where that feeling/statement would come. For you to have said you were Buhari's BIGGEST SUPPORTER, you at worst were a solid supporter of the man, maybe just not the biggest like you were trying to claim.

donjazet:
Buhari continues to surround himself with corrupt individuals.

I had thought that as a military general, he would be strong enough to fight the cabal.
Quite disappointed though.

Amigoss:
DonJ keeps digging a rabbit hole with this unnecessary shalaye

DissTroy:
Never forget he was the official stripper of the Buhari Campaign on Nairaland.

Such extreme declarations are indicative of more than support - it's obsession and fanaticism. He was the most Buharist of the Buharists on this board.

Don't got easy on lying hypocrites - hit hard.

BlueRayDick:
Person Vote for the same candidate and party in two separate elections , yet he says it does not mean he supports the party/candidate

So what does it take to support a political party/candidate? Na until u shed ur blood in the name of the party/candidate ?

Oasis003:


.....what is the difference between DonJ and that Mallam that trekked for Buhari from North to Lagos?

Ellexy:
You mean after everything you've seen from 2015 till this point, if you're giving the chance to go back in time armed with all these knowledge you'll still boldly campaign and vote for Buhari and APC?

Ellexy:
I don't know what you're trying to defend. You don't need to have many body counts before you're called a murderer. Just one cold body makes you one same with the guy who has many body counts.

You can call it hyperbole all you want, all I see is a cheap excuse at not being accountable over your words.
