I declare support for peter obi After Osibanjo lose primary, then obi leave PDP, I was part of people that agitating for igbo presidency Twitter. When obi join labour party, I was so excited that we have alternative until I begin to see different hatred towards YORUBA. Am supporting obi then not cos of his performance or what people are saying about him cos I don't believe in politicans and propaganda but I believe it's time for Igbo to rule. They want to turn Igbo to second class citizens which I don't support. No region in Nigeria serve PDP faithfully than Igbo and they still betray igbos. This is reason why I support peter obi. But lately, I begin to see that this people have different agenda, they hate YORUBA generally. U wil hardly see Obidient insult Atiku but once u see YORUBA, they will start insult up-and-down.

So, I think that's how Igbo understand politics, they believe that they can only get ur support when they insult your tribe.


And for those of you that are claiming Yoruba and those of you that changes your name to YORUBA name cos of elections, we know. If you like, change your name to Adekunle support obi, we don't care. Wait till February

You only stated the reason why you started hating Igbos and stopped supporting Peter Obi.

Laslas it still remains that only southerners with hatred for Igbos don't support Peter Obi.

After holding their rally, they can get out. Edo no be north. Edo state is fully Obidient.

Peter Obi becoming the president of Nigeria is not as important to his son as Tinubu becoming the president is important to Seyi Tinubu.

Tinubu's presidential ambition is simply Lagos mafia family trying to extend their influence to Nigeria in general.

Of course Lagos state is run like a mafia organization, Tinubu the mafia godfather reward the most loyal subordinate with the post office of governor.

Ikpaitid:
Because they prefer Atiku to win rather than an IPOB terrorist like Peter "the fool" Obi.

You mean Tinubu urchiins are this foolish?

Topic should be, Anambra youths gather to plan how to collect their share of Tinubu money.

epondudu:
You all claimed Tinubu is a thief with no concrete evidence to support your claim.
Tinubu has been in this game for a very long time. Give me one piece of evidence or court conviction that says Tinubu is charged and sentenced or any leader in this country that says Tinubu is a thief and I will renounce my support for Jagaban. But for Atiku, it is an open secret that he is a very corrupt and desperate fellow even removing Alhaji from his title just to appease CAN this shows how desperate he is. Northerners are not fools they are watching.

Tinubu is a professional criminal, that knows how to cover up his track. Tinubu has been stealing Lagos state money since 2002. Reason why Lagos state government does not practice financial transparency. Tinubu uses alpha beta to collect Lagos state revenue and pocket most of the money.

Buhari fulfilled all of them.

The joke is on the urchiins and Atikulootors that were laughing at Peter Obi for donating only N5m. Peter Obi actually plans to visit most of the affected states and donate money to victims.

Meanwhile if you are planning to vote for Tinubu or Atiku, then you would also vote for the man in the image below.

You guys that are considering Tinubu are on a long thing, by the time he becomes the president all of these promises will enter voicemail.

Excerpts

When Obi ran for governor of Anambra State, he pledged that he would so improve the education in the state that his children would return from the UK to attend Anambra schools. Well, his children not only still live abroad and never went to school in Nigeria, they’re citizens of a foreign country.

As I pointed out when Obi released his presidential campaign list that was riddled with avoidable duplications and omissions, a man who couldn’t be bothered to even look at the list of his campaign council members—or, if he did, didn’t know enough to know people who should be in it—won’t be any different from the people we have had in the past.

The attributes people venerate in him were also projected onto Buhari in 2014/2015. One of my Obi-supporting friends said Obi “Not being greedy or avaricious on issues of money, not being flamboyant by living like a king while millions wallow in poverty, being able to save, being accessible to the people, listening to the people, etc.” are the proofs we need to know that he will be different as a president.

people said exactly the same of Buhari. But see what he became. Being in power is different from seeking power. Attributes such as access, empathy, etc. often disappear as sure as tomorrow’s date when people get to power. I am friends with a man who used to be close to Buhari because he used to tell him uncomfortable but helpful truths. The man’s relationship with Buhari endured only a few months after Buhari became president.

Like Buhari, Obi is popular with a core demographic that is animated by religious and ethnic politics. On ethnic and religious tolerance, his record isn’t different from Buhari’s, according to media reports I’ve read. He called Ngige a Yoruba man in 2013, implying that it’s undesirable to be Yoruba. In 2013, when Idemili women protested after being disenfranchised, Obi said the women were from Osun State in order to delegitimize them.

Obi’s ethnic politics as a governor was so acute that Okey Ndibe called him out on it in several columns, saying in one column that “such appeals to base, ethnic sentiments would return to haunt him if he ever seeks to be a political player at the national level.”

On the issues that really matter, Obi is no different from any politician. It’s people on social media who created this image of Obi as some transformational person when he is just a business-as-usual politician like everybody else.

This is a man whose aide was caught with N250 million cash in 2009 in his lodge when he was a governor. A former banker and a governor holding that much cash is suspicious. His record in human rights isn’t any different from other governors. The Daily Champion of June 20, 2006 reported him as ordering the police to “shoot on sight hoodlums caught perpetrating violence in the city.” What happened to fair trial?

And he lies a lot—like other politicians. He claims he never borrowed as a governor and that he left a surplus when he left office as a governor. Records at the Debt Management Office don’t support this. Anambra’s External Debt was $15 million by December 2007. At the time Obi left office in June 2014, the state’s external debt climbed up to an astronomical $41 million. That’s a 173 percent jump!

And, like other politicians, he is corrupt, too. He invested Anambra state’s money in his family business.

Yet when you point out that he is just as human and as flawed as most politicians, his supporters threaten people with death and coarse invective, like Buharists did—and still do. Critical democratic citizenship isn’t allowed where he is involved.

So, “Obi-dients” are the new Buharists. Better get ready for their rank stupidity and pigheadedness should Peter Obi become president. They’re perpetually angry. They’re narrowminded, verbally primitive, ignorant, tunnel-visioned automatons who think their illiterate trolling can stop people from expressing views that are contrary to theirs.

They constitute a risible horde of unthinking troll brigade on the Internet and are incapable of the most basic level of cognitive complexity. If you’re not one of them, you are against them. If you don’t sacrifice your critical faculty on the altar of Peter Obi political idolatry, you’re against their idol.

If you write any favorable article about Obi, you’re an unflinching patriot, but if you do the same for Obi’s opponents, you’re a paid supporter of their idol’s opponents. They live in a world of Manichean binaries. Nuance is a strange concept to them.

If Satan were to magically emerge today and endorse Obi, they’ll sanctify Satan as Angel Gabriel and sing his praises. They’re that stupid.

They deserve their name. Obedience, after which “Obidience” is modeled, means a dutiful surrender of one’s critical senses to someone in authority, and that’s what Obidients do every waking moment of their miserable lives since they caught the bug of Obimania.

He simply said pre-election, Peter Obi is similar to Buhari. As for Tinubu and Atiku, he said the both of them are not options to consider, the both of them would be worse than Buhari.

Lagos state government is like a mafia organization, Tinubu is the mafia godfather. The most loyal subordinate is allowed to be the governor of the state.

By creating Alpha Beta to collect Lagos state revenue and not practice financial transparency, Tinubu is practically collecting Lagos state revenue into his pocket. And mumu Lagosians just open face dey look.

Tinubu and Atiku are indeed not an option. I am really as a Nigerian that out of 100 million adults, Tinubu and Atiku are the ones that was picked to represent the two major political parties.

I urge my fellow citizens in the North, if you insist on voting for a fellow northerner, then vote for Kwankwaso. If there was no Peter Obi in the ballot, I would have voted for Sowore.

kk2027:
Why can't they go ahead and implement those things in the manifesto right away?Are they no longer in power ni?

Why brandishing another set of promises when the old ones were not fulfilled

If APC can implement this manifesto immediately, that will be a good start.

They can but they won't. That's why they made their campaign slogan hope. They are trying to tell you the only way they will go ahead and implement those things is if you vote for them again.

Laslas, the biggest scammer of all is Tinubu, if he really could make Nigeria great, why did he not work with Buhari to make Nigeria great. The answer is, he did but could not make any difference.

Tyrant Tinubu is too greedy, despite having Lagos state in his pocket, he is still not satisfied.

Obidients, get ready to witness another massive speech blunder by Tinubu.

Tinubu urchiins, get ready to defend another massive speech blunder by Tinubu.

And thus, season 2 of APC national scam project has begun with Tinubu and Buhari as the main actors.

Season 1 was successfully orchestrated in 2015. God willing, Season 2 will be successfully completed in 2023.

Why didn't he see it in his vision... So many death must would have been averted

Some death if averted would break the balance of the universe. The balance of the universe must be maintained.

For your information ...13.8 billion can reposition 2 federal universities to world class standard

Can renovate 14 unity schools

Can build 14 nursing schools

Can build 7 malls

Can build 7 general hospitals

Can update 14 engineering laboratories

I can go on and on

This is why the country remains underdeveloped. Over the years, majority of the money in the country is sent to individual account and not invested in infrastructure.

That's why the country can remain in darkness after $16b was budgeted for power. Because instead of being used to build infrastructure for power, the $16b was shared by individuals.

Who is responsible for this?

To those of you misquoting me with your nonsensical and unnecessary aspersions, see the attached:

At the end, it likely turns out to be kidnappers.
May the hands of the law catch up with the rest of them.

Kidnappers can not attack police convoy and even kill three policemen.

Tinubu are you not the one repackaging Buhari's failed promises and feeding it to Nigerians again?

TheSameGuy:
This is lover of Youth, who truly has youths at heart.

That's why he appointed them into his cabinet when he was GOVERNOR which is one of the reasons for his success as Governor

God bless our incoming GCFR, Ashiwaju Ahmad Bola Tinubu.

The City Boy for we YOUTHS

Keep deceiving yourself with photos of an old ancestor that is forcing himself to appear healthy.

LastProphet:
So the people killed all of them coincidentally were people that didn't have anybody to look for them? Go to the newspaper or social media to post even their loved ones? Or nobody could even say "yes I saw my neighbor, I saw a friend etc shot in the head, and I can take you to their house and he won't be there because he's dead." So of all the massacre of hundreds and thousands NO SINGLE FAMILY HAS TURNED UP TO DEMAND JUSTICE FOR THEIR LOVED ONE? I don't know how black people reason

The bodies of the victims were taken away by the army, they identified them and contacted their families to shut them up. That is why till today no family could come out and say one of their sons or daughter was murdered. This move was necessary because a massacre of innocents by the army is a crime punishable by ICC.

They donated millions from their hospital bed in London and Paris.

The visit of high profile people will make others realize the severity of the situation.

Just imagine. British royal family showing concerns for the flood victims in Nigeria all the way from UK. Meanwhile Tinubu and Atiku, two men wants to be president of Nigeria have not noticed the flood disaster in the country.

KehnnyKay:
I started masturbating at the age of 14 and I'm 24 years old now it's hard for me to put stop to it despite how hard I've tried. I can't go 2 days without masturbating and it's already killing me both physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally. Any day I masturbate I will be exhausted for more than 2 hours before I can come back to my normal self... It's already getting out of hand and I need help. I can't discuss this with anyone close to me because they would be so disappointed in me and I might end up getting more hurt emotionally. Please I need help!!!

You need prayers.

Only one of them o. Not two

Don't let them deceive you with photos they take when they get up from their sick bed for a minute.

THEY SHOULD SUSPEND THEIR CAMPAIGNS AND JOIN PETER OBI TO VISIT THE PEOPLE AFFECTED BY THE RECENT FLOODING.
