Onyiridike:You claimed the stadium wasn’t filled to capacity, the same stadium that was looking like there was about to be stampede hours before Tinubu got there. The crowd wey dey for road self go fill that stadium three times over. Abi Sango no be Lagos again? Take him easy with the lies. Obi no fit win 5% in Lagos even with all the Onitsha and Aba boy wey him carry go Lagos go do market rally. The most politically inclined Yorubas are market women, elderly citizens and those involved in crafts and trade. Na dem get the most PVCs and would decide the election in their region. Dem no internet. |
Onyiridike:Nwanyi, you too lie. Chai Just no commit suicide after Saturday because na wet in dey happen after person don console herself with too much lies. |
Highways:Murderous Obi destroyed omanbala. |
CYBERSOLDIERSre:Efulefu like you. Sharap dia. I’m Igbo. Onye nzuzu. Obi kerenke and nzogbu nzogbu politics don’t win elections. |
SLAP44:Nwanne, make sure you do. I have seen videos of ndi yoruba in Lagos in homecoming for Tinubu. Obi will win Twitter and ontsha as president. |
Peter Obi cannot win more than two states in the election. He won’t get more than 100k votes in Lagos. But Peter Obi will become the president of Twitter and Onitsha. Good consolation for him. |
Obi himself has seen the handwriting on the wall and he turn to market rallies in Awka instead of using a big venue. The only state I see Obi winning in SE is Enugu. He’ll lose in Anambra, Abia, Imo and Ebonyi. He’s the president of Twitter so that should count for something. |
AdaojoTheUrchin:Efulefu |
ResidentSnitch:Efulefu. |
Winterhaven:Nwoke, the mob will call you urchin and yoruba muslim for telling them the truth. I co-sign your comment about the 3 candidates. The only reason I suggested Tinubu is because the glass is half-full due to Lagos factor. But he’s also a terrible candidate. |
I’m Igbo and this is why I’m telling anyone who cares to listen, DON’T VOTE OBI. Obi couldn’t fiscally run Omanbala and Hero beer, how will run Nigeria? Only Tinubu can save Nigeria with his blueprint in Lagos by decentralisation of the economy and structure. |
Investors Already Bet Nigeria’s Next Leader Has No Chance of Fixing Fiscal Crisis Bloomberg) -- Nigeria’s bond market is already betting that the nation’s next leader — whoever it is — won’t be able to repair the shambles left by the previous administration. Africa’s most populous country is in the midst of a fiscal crisis, driven by soaring debt service payments that will soon cost more than the government generates in revenue. The three main candidates vying to replace outgoing President Muhammadu Buhari at an election on Saturday have promised to right the ship, but bond performance suggests investors aren’t buying it. Nigeria’s dollar bonds have declined 6.8% over the past month, exceeding the average drop of 1.9% in a Bloomberg index of emerging-market peers. The extra yield investors demand to hold Nigerian dollar debt rather than US Treasuries has risen by about 136 basis points to 817 basis points. That’s less than 200 basis points from levels traders considered “distressed.” “Nigeria’s current economic troubles are the culmination of a multiyear slide that began under previous administrations and accelerated under President Buhari,” said Patrick Curran, a senior economist at Tellimer Ltd., a firm that specializes in emerging-market research. “The key difference is that with debt service absorbing over 100% of federally-retained revenue, there is a far shorter runway to turn things around.” Six Charts Show the Challenges Facing Nigeria’s Next Government The Nigeriand Budget Office and Finance Ministry didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment on Monday. Parting Gift Under Buhari, Nigeria’s total debt stock exploded more than six-fold to about 77 trillion naira ($167 billion), or 40% of GDP. Much of that came in one fail swoop at the very end of his tenure, when he tucked an extra $50 billion onto the state debt pile, leaving future administrations to pay for the overdrafts his government took from the central bank over its eight years in power. Concerns over economic stability have put the naira under pressure, and it fell to a record low of 461.78 against the dollar last week in the official market, where the rate is tightly controlled, and 755 on the widely-used black market. The cost to insure Nigeria’s debt against default using credit default swaps has also jumped, from 644 basis points at the beginning of the month, to 728. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/investors-already-bet-nigeria-next-110005845.html?guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvLnVrLw&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAAdNByyGucFMTte9MyGeSDx4agq4drJd07LZY2-evZWW69lKThsJ5jA5vEiOPoYBtjb515couRRW04lpS1Ag7lSXRnnKcP7WfitIrxvSgPMqHxkTefvkwWYcoHmNw9xa0ERmgucQR9byd9783gbbdXOtxFvdWeTwTvo_VEAkxmNz |
Vote4Obi:Onye nzuzu I’m Igbo. |
Brendaniel:All incompetent PDP demagogues like Obi who was PDP until recently when he lost out in the power struggle. Time for a change, nwanne. |
NigerianAngelo:Nwoke, the country can’t allow another 4 years of failure and demagoguery. Obi has nothing to offer. |
Obi destroyed Omanbala, destroyed his inheritance from his late father, Fidelity bank was in comatose under him, and hero beer which he invested Anambra in is running at a loss. Obi destroys everything he touches apart from his loot in fixed account. So what premise has he got that can show he will be a good leader apart from being Igbo? Obi kerenke and nzogbu nzogbu politics can’t wash away his antecedents. Ndi Igbo need to regroup, strategize, and form alliances to present a better candidate in 2027. Obi isn’t the chosen one. |
Omanbala people have not forgotten the terror he unleashed on the people during his tenure. He was also one of the first Supreme Court governors. The Soludo factor since APGA has no presidential candidate and Soludo is still loyal to PDP will cut his vote. I see Peter Obi doing well only in Onitsha and losing most places across Anambra. |
