Politics / Re: Tinubu: ‘Our product Is selling’, says MC Oluomo by duality(m): 1:36pm On Aug 25, 2022
Will Oluomo say this if he doesn't have direct benefits from Tinubu?

The answer is an obvious NO

Most people who support Obi, do so because he 8s the best candidate with less propensity for corruption.

It's mostly Bigots that insist on Tinubu and Atiku. Some of them have nothing but want someone to steal and loot on their behalf.

Dagogo is not serious. He should know that he's not relevant to the personal life of most people. Him and Wike inclusive.

He should know that we are determined to return power to the south and Obi is the chosen one. He can go and fight Wike.

If it's rigging he wants he'll have Wike to contend with. As for genuine Vote, it has to be Obi

Omonieme:
It's inconceivable that Wike will decamp to APC. That said, Atiku and the PDP hasn't dealt Wike a fair hand. Dude has made way too much sacrifices for the party. Post 2015, he literally kept PDP afloat financially. Would there be PDP without Wike? Yes but would it have been an attractive platform for Atiku to seek power in 2019 and 23, I don't think so. Even after 2019, Atiku left PDP and japad to Dubai. Wike provided much needed leadership and steel. Fairplay to Atiku, he won the Primaries fairly. No doubt about that. Wike's sense of entitlement that he should have been handed the ticket on a platter is not possible. But, what Atiku could and should have done is manage the post primary better. I'm not saying he should have picked Wike as vice. Nah! You can only pick who you can be comfortable working with. But, he should have given Wike a sense of belonging. Make him feel like he matters in the scheme of things. Even if his choice of VP is settled, make it seem as if Wike had a role to play in the VP selection and all of that. But nah! Now, PDP and Atiku's traditional base that's already being threatened by Obi's emergence may further be decimated by Wike. Not good at all.
That said, I've got a clean 04 Camry for Sale. It's in perfect condition with reverse camera and there's absolutely nothing to fix. Reason for sale is I want to upgrade. Check it out on my profile

What's the logic here?

It's high time we tried something new. We must move away from this stale PDP-APC mixture and begin to consider a new alternative, like the LP and PO.



Shettima's speech is not bad. It's clear and straight to the point.

Obi's strategy of reciting the problems, is becoming too monotonous and predictable.

He needs to step up because much is expected.of him. I'm being honest here.

Politics / Re: Peter Obi: Like 2015, The "Influencers" Have Gathered To Deceive Nigerians Again by duality(m): 7:39pm On Aug 04, 2022
TonyeBarcanista:
During the period of electioneering ahead of the 2015 Presidential election, Muhammadu Buhari, a former army general with an unpleasant antecedent, was nominated by then opposition merger, All Progressives Congress (APC), as their candidate for the 2015 presidential election. Following his emergence, he was touted as the long-awaited messiah to take Nigeria to the path of greatness by his Party members. Aside members of the APC, Buhari was equally projected to Nigerians by a group of people disguising as 'apolitical intellectuals' as the man to rescue Nigeria from the 'misgovernance' of the Goodluck Jonathan led Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) administration, and restore Nigeria to eldorado.

These influencers and their followers employed emotional, psychological, ethnic and religious tools laced with propaganda to manipulate Nigerians into joining the Buhari train. Whenever you confront them with past records of Muhammadu Buhari, they will dismissed your observation entirely with the phrase "I have decided to vote change". Some go to the extreme of either labeling you a hireling of Jonathan/PDP or an enemy of good governance. When you remind them that Buhari, the man they tout as the 'Incoming Messiah", was dishonest about his academic records, truncated the democracy enjoyed in the second republic, caused Nigeria economic havoc while as military head of state, literally set Lagos state sixty years backwards with the truncation of the rail project of Lateef Jakande (due to gross ignorance), perpetrated rights abuses, jailed journalists for doing their job with his infamous decree, promoted sectionalism, tribalism and allegedly perpetrated graft as chairman of Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF), these influencers will shut you down. They justify the coup (calling it a child of necessity), and they downplayed his intellectual deficiency and dishonest academic record by saying that NEPA bill (electricity bill) is as good (if not better) than an academic or professional certificates. They justified his abuse of human rights saying that Nigerians need iron hand to behave decently, and adorned Buhari with the robe of "reformed democrat" to shoot down his dictatorial past. In fact, these influencers took advantage of some of shortcomings of the then Goodluck administration especially with respect to the growing insecurity in the Northeast and parts of the Northwest by Boko Haram insurgents. They manipulated the anger of Nigerians that arose from the ill-informed removal of fuel subsidy on 2012 New Year Day against the Jonathan's government just to force the Buhari agenda down their throat. They equally took advantage of the desperation of the north to return to power to boost their numerical strength and caused increase in Buhari electoral standing; at the end, Buhari won the 2015 presidential. But unfortunately, the entire country has been in flames ever since with hyperinflation and its resultant economic woes, banditry and other forms of insecurity, sectionalism, gross rights abuse and other forms of misgovernance.

Like the 2015 electioneering era, a group of influencers and their followers have "hijacked" the airwaves to force the aspiration of Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate down the throats of Nigerians. Similar to what transpired in the run-up to the 2015 election, these people, who have christened themselves as 'Obidients', have resulted to taking advantage of the epic failure of Buhari led APC administration to manipulate Nigerians to embrace Peter Obi - who they have already adorned with the messianic robe. They push the Obi candidacy through false claims, half truths and unverified facts, and are prepared to mobilize a media mob action against anyone that dares express contrary opinion about their audio messiah irrespective of their previous relationship with the person. Aside adorning Obi the messianic robe, his promoters equally elevated themselves to the status of 'heroes' of Nigeria, while engraving the 'villain' stamp on the foreheads of those who are not subscribed to Obi presidential aspiration. But how sincere are they?

While the Obi influencers' claim that the passion for a progressive Nigerian system with economic improvement, secuity of lives and property, respect for human rights, transparency and general good governance informed their position on Obi, they get angry, threatening and defensive when reminded them of Obi's antecedents. As Governor of Anambra State, Obi administration could not to grow Anambra State internal generated revenue beyond a meagre monthly 400 milion naira even when relatively poor Cross river State was generating 600 million naira monthly. The same IGR was raised to 1.4 billion monthly by Obi successor, Obiano, shortly after assuming office. Is that the man that can improve Nigeria's economic fortunes? When you confront Obi or these influencers with these facts, they will tell you that he saved N75 billion naira for the state; a claim described as false by his successor, Willie Obiano. In contrast, Obi was said to handover a debt burden of N185 billion and hurriedly recruited over 6000 employees into the State's Civil service on the eve of his exit; which Obiano administration was expected to cater for. Interestingly, Obi as Governor refused to pay workers the minimum wage and threatened to fire striking workers (Medical doctors and others) from the state service. In fact, Peter Obi administration was described by Anambra Indigenes on Ndigbo Facebook Page as a calamity that befell the state.
Read: Feedback from 2011 Ndigbo Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/127503268408/posts/pfbid03gj1rhLPBy2a8qAevQ8NZ7b2FLf5pZH2XwnNP1eoJeJ1UPLuX2cdapftQiz69ALyl/

Furthermore, these Obi influencers, many of whom were active in the agitation against police brutality and other human rights abuses through the #EndSARS movement, are promoting the candidacy of a man that infamously ordered shoot-on-sight on MASSOB members in Anambra State even when the group was not declared a terrorist organisation during his time as governor (and extrajudicial order); most of the people killed as a result of that order were innocent traders and youths. When you point this to these influencers, they will not hesitate to betray themselves by either defending it or pretend like it never happened. These influencers usually claim Obi represents a new order, but when you look at some of the people Obi has sought endorsement from, you see members of the old blocks that have held Nigeria with Iron fists in the past decades and unwilling not to loose grip and are christened 'owners of Nigeria'; I mean the likes of Generals Ibrahim Babangida and Chief Olusegun Obasanjo - both men sold Buhari to Nigerians in 2015. Again, what new order is Obi bringing? The Obi influencers claim that "Nigeria should do away with PDP and APC" but when reminded that Obi himself was once a PDP Chieftain that even served in the eve of Jonathan's administration and ran as the running mate to Atiku Abubakar in the 2019 presidential election, while Datti Baba Ahmed his deputy has been a longtime ally of Buhari since 2003, a foundational member of APC and a member of PDP (from December 2017) where he was a presidential aspirant (2018) and Kaduna State 2023 gubernatorial aspirant (until May 2022), they will employ emotional tactics to save face. In fact, majority of the people that constitute LP are politicians that lost out in the politics of major Parties; this include Obi, Datti Ahmed and LP's VP Placeholder, Dr. Doyin Okupe . Penultimate to their exit from PDP, Obi lost to Chief Chris Uba power block in the battle to control Anambra PDP, while Datti was heading to defeat in in his gubernatorial quest under PDP because the odd favored Hon. Ashiru Kudan.

Like Buhari influencers of 2015 made opposition to Buhari to mean opposition to northern interests and punished people from the north that opposed Buhari, the Obi influencers are emotionally blackmailing everyone from to the South to join their project labeling southerners, especially those from southeast, that refused to be blinded by Obidient chant as saboteurs and enemies of southern/Igbo agenda/race.

Unlike 2015 where Buhari influencers pushed many into bringing the Buhari administration, Nigerians should refuse to be deceived by the antics of these Obi influencers. They should ask the right questions about Obi and insist on the right answers. Let no one deceive you!

Politics / Re: Peter Obi: The Acclaimed "Messiah" Without The Credentials by duality(m): 9:27am On Aug 03, 2022
TonyeBarcanista:
By TonyeBarcanista

Since the commencement of the 2023 electioneering season, the term 'Obidient' is a slogan that has dominated the media airwaves, especially on social media. Subscribers to the Obidient slogans are Nigerians that are advocates of Chief Peter Gregory Obi, the Presidential candidate of Labour Party. Majority of his supporters are driven by rare display of patriotism coupled with the popular yearning for political change in Nigeria, a handful of his advocates have taken to the extreme of portraying him as an infallible mortal that is at par or a little lower than a sacred deity. To this set of people, it is abominable to criticise, question or express displeasure in Obi's credentials or candidacy.

Obi, a former governor of Anambra State who until May 23, 2022 was a chieftain of Peoples Democratic Party and Presidential hopeful on the Party's platform, is portrayed by his promoters as the long-awaited messiah to deliver the country from the calamity brought upon the country by the Muhammadu Buhari led administration. He is marketed as one with a "frugal" personality in terms of spending (perhaps a miser) who will not allow waste of public resources as President, and will ensure that Nigeria has enough in its reserves like Anambra had under Obi's administration as governor of the state like he (Obi) claimed - though this claim is disputed by his successor, Chief Willie Obiano - but that is a discussion fot another day. Aside his supposed frugality, Obi is portrayed as an incorruptible public officer that has never engaged in financial misconduct while in office. We'll see how true this claim is!

While I agree with the Obi promoters that Nigeria needs a new political leadership that will rescue the country from its current woes and entrench a working system for sustained improvement of the lives of Nigeria citizens, I disagree with them on the choice of Obi as the ideal pilot to lead Nigeria to greatness. Here is an individual that relies in his personal abilities for leadership. Obi has not made mention of any team that he assembled to work with whether while as governor of Anambra state. Even as the candidate of Labour Party, he has no known campaign team (structure) aside Chief Doyin Okupe. Whenever he speaks, he is always about self. The implication here is that as President he will the typical 'Mister Know-it-all' leader, which will be counterproductive to the expectations of Nigerians. But that is not my biggest concern about Obi.

While most citizens are demanding for devolution of power to the grassroot through restructuring of the Nigeria political system, Obi does not come across as a President that believe in power devolution. His record as Anambra State governor shows a man that does not believe in the third tier of government; which is supposed to be the closest to the grassroot. While the Constitution of Nigeria empowers State Governments through their State Independent Electoral Commission (SIEC) to conduct council elections for this tier of government, Obi who became Anambra State governor in March 2006, wilfully elected to run the local government through appointees under the nomenclature of Caretaker Committee in flangrance disobedience to the Constitution. Obi's refusal to conduct council elections drew the anger of stakeholders within and outside Anambra state, including the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) that he was not just a member but the Vice Chairman. The NGF in its report on Peer Review Mechanism that was released on March 18, 2013 (Obi 7th year in office) decried the action of Obi as undemocratic. Mr. Afeikhema Jerome, who was the National Coordinator of the State Peer Review Mechanism NGF, went further to appeal to Anambra Government under Obi “to urgently set the machinery in motion and conduct credible local government elections”.
(please find Premium Times report on the story here: https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/127070-ngf-scolds-anambra-ekiti-16-others-over-non-conduct-of-council-polls.html).

inspite the scolding by NGF, Obi still refused to conduct Council election. He waited until 2 months to the expiration of his tenure (ten months after release of NGF report) to eventually conduct it. Specifically, the election was conducted on 11 January, 2014. In other words, Anambra State had no functional governments at the local government level for 7 years and 10 months out of the 8 years of Obi's reign. Many believed that the council election was hurriedly conducted by Obi so as to get necessary structures on ground to mobilize for votes for Chief Willie Obiano, his anointed candidate for the 2014 gubernatorial election of the State.
(See PT publication on NGF report: https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/127070-ngf-scolds-anambra-ekiti-16-others-over-non-conduct-of-council-polls.html). If Obi as Governor stifled the local government system in his state, what magic will he bequeath Nigeria as a whole with respect to power devolution?

Nigeria is plagued with insecurity, terrorism, banditory and insurgency that citizens cannot live their lives freely due to fear of the men of the underworld. The country is in dire need of a leader that will change the tide; but is Obi competent enough to handle such burden? Let's see how he handled similar issue in Anambra State.

As Governor, Obi faced the Biafra agitators under the banner of Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, and led by Mr. Ralph Uwazuruike. Obi's solution to address the MASSOB agitation was a declaration of an undemocratic "Shoot-at-sight" order on MASSOB members. The order, which which drew condemnation by many, was issued in June 2006 (3 months into his government), and also extended to members of NARD and "other hoodlums" in the State. As a consequence of the order, security forces combed Onitsha, Nnewi, Oba, Ihiala and environs and were alleged to have shot, killed, and maimed anyone suspected to be member of MASSOB. On 20th January 2013, residents woke up to discover over 40 floating corpses in Ezu River located in Amansea, Awka, Anambra State. Following the discovery, MASSOB through its spokesman, Mr Uchenna Madu (now factional leader of MASSOB), released a statement on 10 February 2013, identified the corpses as that of its members that were arrested by DSS and handed over to Police on November 9, 2012 but disappeared afterwards. He identified some of the bodies as; Basil Ogbu, Michael Ogwa, Sunday Omogo, Philip Nwankpa, Eze Ndubisi, Ebuka Eze, Obinna Ofor, Joseph Udoh and Uchechukwu Ejiofor. Excerpt of the statement reads;

“MASSOB with deep sense of grief and sorrow wishes to inform Mr. Ban Ki Moon (UN Secretary General), President Goodluck Jonathan, US president, Barrack Obama, United Nations Human Rights Commission (UNHRC) and Amnesty International about the gruesome murder of MASSOB members by the Special Anti Robbery Squared SARS, of Nigeria Police Force, Awkuzu Anambra State. Some of our disguised members and family relations of the detained members were denied access to them. Efforts by our counsel to secure their bail from the police were futile. Our demands for their arraignment before a competent court of law were frustrated by SARS officers. We got information from an insider at SARS headquarters, Awkuzu that armless MASSOB members detained at SARS were secretly killed alongside other robbery suspects. Our lawyers, who confidently waited for their arraignment in January 2013 did not believe that such barbaric, primitive and wicked act could happen because, according to them, a comprehensive police reform on Human Rights was being carried out by the new Inspector General of Police.”
(Ref YNaija: https://ynaija.com/bodies-floating-in-river-are-our-members-secretly-killed-by-security-agents-massob-graphic-image/)

Mr. Uchenna Madu again in November 2013 indicted Governor Peter Obi as being responsible for the killing of MASSOB members through his "Shoot-on-sight" order and even vowed to arrest him afer his gubernatorial tenure. In his own words: “We hold Peter Obi responsible for the killings. This reminds us about the 2006 shoot-on-sight order by Governor Peter Obi who massacred about 2,000 MASSOB members. We shall arrest him and pay him back in his own coin in our own way immediately he steps down as the governor because his recent action of killing MASSOB members will heavily affect APGA chances of winning this election.” Madu spoke on November 14, 2013 while reacting to killing of MASSOB members by security forces the previous day.
(ref: https://www.cknnigeria.com/2013/11/we-ll-arrest-peter-obi-after-leaving.html?m=1)

On April 12, 2014, Mazi Chris Mocha, the Deputy Publicity Secretary of MASSOB released a statement on behalf of Uwazuruike fingering Obi alongside Chief Achike Udenwa (former Imo state governor 1999-2007) and Chief Olusegun Obasanjo of ordering killings of MASSOB members extrajudicially. An excerpt of the statement reads; “Mr. Peter Obi and former Imo State governor, Dr. Achike Udenwa, had ordered the killing of MASSOB members between 2003 and 2006 and would be tried in court in due course. Obi had on May 11, 2006 under the Presidency of Olusegun Obasanjo deployed over 200 federal troops most of who were of Hausa and Fulani tribes to Onitsha and issued a shoot-at-sight order to them. Thousands of our members were killed, including a pregnant woman and 65 others still missing,”

Clearly, Obi could not manage the insurgency in Anambra State as governor, how much more that of Nigeria that is more complex with religious and ethnic coloration?

Another concern on Obi is his alleged abuse of office in the management of public funds and dishonesty in the forms with respect to failure to declare some assets that he had interest in before the Code of Conduct Bureau. Dishonesty is one character that is not expected of a President that is determined to effect change positively.

Peter Obi is among the public figures that were indicted by Pandora Papers of financial misconduct. Specifically, he was said to have of used the name of his daughter, Gabriella to set up discreet Company named Gabriela Investments Limited in 2010 (during his 4th year in office as Anambra Governor) in British Virgin Island through a local registered agent, Aleman Cordero Galindo & Lee Trust (BVI) Limited (Alcogal). Acces International, a notorious firm located in Monaco facilitated the deal. Peter Obi was also fingered to own other offshore companies that he hid in secrecy. He equally had interest in NEXT International (UK) 14 months into his term as governor: which is contrary to the law. Worse is, he didn't declare these assets before the Code of Conduct Bureau; a statutory requirement for public officers. As reported by Premium Times, Obi equally admitted to operate offshore businesses and maintained foreign accounts while as Governor - in disobedience to the Constitutional provisions.

Penultimate to 2015 election, many refused to x-ray the suitability of Muhammadu Buhari because we were carried away by the "Change" slogan of APC, we cannot afford to repeat same blunder with the "Obidient' slogan in 2023. Sloganeering do not translate to good governance and better welfare for Nigeria citizens.

ATIKU HAS NO CHANCE IN THIS ELECTION. AS AN OKRIKA MAN, YOU KNOW POWER MUST RETURN TO THE SOUTH.
