Counterigbolies:
even obi himself made it clear on arise TV he didn't do all these

See it's understandable if u people come from the point that u want your own to b president cos it's been long, many will understand but talking about competence is pure bullshit

Stop gaslighting.
If you’re claiming these things were “debunked,” then provide proof : videos, credible links, or the exact Arise TV interview where Peter Obi allegedly addressed and refuted them.

Don’t just push narratives without evidence.

Counterigbolies:
All these your bullshit have been debunked

He left billion of debt that even the immediate governor had to debunk it.

Which wealth savings?

Same money he kept in his bank of interest while people suffer

Anambra waec n neco that miracle centres were created?

Oga na rubbish u type for here

All of these have been debunked a million times

Nice.
Please share your proof and sources for the debunking, if you donot then be forever silent.

I am waiting.Thank you

Good morning all

I have noticed something about these our so called obidient brothers, they will always tell us what obi will do as president but they will never campaign with what he did when he had a smaller job.

The most annoying thing is that majority of all presidential aspirants have held one position or the other before aspiring to be president

Atiku was VP and he campaigned with what he did while in office which many people attest to.

Amaechi held several positions and he will always refer you to his achievement while in office

For Tinubu case, video evidences are there and we all can see how his so called opposition praised him then, despite dispute with obj then tinubu still had legacy projects we all can attest to today.

The question is that why is obi supporters always telling us what he will do when he gets there and not what he did when he held a smaller position?

It's annoying when you remind them that he was once a governor for 8 years and had woeful records that his people cursed him and even protested when he won second term.

When you remind them that he didn't do anything in 8 years in tiny Anambra, they start telling you about Alex otti, is Alex otti and obi the same thing?

Will Alex otti be the one ruling if obi becomes president?

Peter obi keeps talking about Bangladesh, Argentina and co, the question is did peter obi rule those countries?

Why not campaign with your own doings in office?

A simple research will stop all this silly rambling.
A lot of people argue about Peter Obi online, but whether you support him or not, these are some of the achievements often credited to him during his time as Governor of Anambra State (2006–2014):

1. Left office with billions in savings and investments reportedly worth over ₦70bn + foreign reserves

2. Reduced Anambra’s debt profile significantly

3. Introduced Sub-Sovereign Wealth savings — reportedly first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa

4. Returned schools to missions/churches to improve standards

5. Anambra became one of the top-performing states in WAEC/NECO

6. Distributed thousands of laptops and printers to schools.

7. Provided internet access and Microsoft Academies to hundreds of schools

8. Supplied over 700 school buses

9. Improved security and reduced kidnapping through joint security operations

10. Supplied patrol/security vehicles to communities and vigilante groups

11. Built and rehabilitated roads across the state
Cleared salary and pension arrears

12. Improved healthcare infrastructure and nursing institutions

13. Won Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation recognition for immunization performance

14. Built maternal and child healthcare centres
Established Kenneth Dike Memorial Digital Library in Awka

15. Supported development of Anambra State University and other institutions

16. Created urban masterplans for Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi with UN-HABITAT support

17. Maintained a reputation for prudent spending and accountability

18. Left office without major corruption convictions or EFCC prosecution

19. Left office without a pension or a single property from the state.

Tjra:
Level of change from a man who gets his advices from a mad man? God forbid!

Bro, not all Nigerians reason like Obidients oo

Are you truly better off and satisfied with the current state of Nigeria?
If your answer is yes, then by all means, vote for Timlubu?

Deep down, even the ruling class knows that Peter Obi carries the kind of vision that can move Nigeria forward. The question is are we ready for that level of change?

nairavsdollars:
He is trying to copy Tinubu. The fittest man i have ever seen at 74

This picture of Timlubu is so funny.
Okon okpon ibot isip

This is embarrassingly low for a government. A dairy factory? Seriously?

Ordinary Nigerians, our own people are out here building world-class refineries and real industries despite the odds. Meanwhile, this government is celebrating an MOU like it’s some groundbreaking achievement. It’s just optics, nothing more.

Honestly, it’s disappointing. This kind of mediocrity is exactly why the country’s reputation keeps taking hits. Instead of chasing headlines, fix electricity, fix infrastructure, create an enabling environment and watch Nigerians build far bigger and better things on their own.

"This is the first time in Nigerian history that any government would be running three budgets at the same time while implementing none.”

My people, this is part of why the hardship across the country feels so overwhelming. Instead of focusing on effective budget execution and delivering basic services, the conversation often seems to shift toward finding new ways to tax already burdened citizens or 2027 elections. This alone is enough reason to boot this incompetent government out of office.

One has to ask: why do we continue to allow the worst among us to rise to positions of leadership?”

helinues:
So the president should stop living because they kpaied some people bah?

Your degree of insensitivity is really surprising but not out place as this is how APC supporters reason.

Just imagine for a second Seyi Tinubu was among those kidnapped, do you think the President will still proceed to attend this event.

My guess is as good as yours, he will not. He will mobilise the entire nations security architecture to ensure he is rescued.

We truly need leaders who feel the masses pain. A new Nigeria is POssible.k

OldSkoolHeadBoy:
[b]I wonder how old you guys are and your level of education !


Let me attempt to help you a little bit, perhaps, you will have a grasp of the issue at hand. During the last election INEC had 176,974 Polling Units across the nation. Since then, more have been added.

INEC does not have its own dedicated national internet network that can be deployed across all the 176,974 Polling Units. The electronic transmission that you are clamoring for, rides on the regular internet backbone that is provided by the telecoms companies (MTN, GLO, AIRTEL, 9 MOBILE and etc).

So, by talking about deployment of Starlink internet modem, do you have an idea of how many would be required and how much each unit would cost ? Does this make sense to spend the enormous amount of money on a technology that would be needed just for one day, every 4 years ?

So, the electronic transfer of results cannot be inscribed in the constitution but rather left to INEC to conduct the election, as it deems it fit and transmit the results to the IREV portal, wherever possible in real time and in other instances, within a maximum of 72 hours after the election has taken place.
[/b]

This argument sounds technical, but it collapses under scrutiny.

First, no serious advocate of electronic transmission has ever claimed INEC needs a dedicated nationwide internet backbone or Starlink at every polling unit (The Senate president claimed only 9 states donot have network for connectivity)!
Electronic transmission is hybrid by design, not absolute. The law can mandate immediate electronic upload where connectivity exists, and offline capture with delayed sync where it doesn’t. This is exactly how BVAS already works today.

Second, INEC already transmits data electronically. Accreditation data is uploaded from polling units using existing telecom networks. If those same networks are “too unreliable” for results, then by that logic they are also too unreliable for accreditation, yet the Senate had no problem approving BVAS. You cannot logically accept electronic accreditation and reject electronic results using the same infrastructure.

Third, the cost argument is misleading. No one is proposing one-day technology. Devices used for transmission (BVAS, tablets, modems) are reusable assets for: off-cycle elections, reruns, by-elections,
continuous voter registration
internal audits and training. Calling this “one day every four years” is either uninformed or disingenuous.

Fourth, and this is very critical—delaying transmission for up to 72 hours defeats the entire purpose. Elections are not lost at polling units; they are lost during collation. Once results leave the polling unit without a public, time-stamped electronic record, you reopen the exact manipulation window Nigerians are trying to close. A process that allows results to “travel” for days before public verification is not a safeguard; it’s a vulnerability.

Fifth, leaving electronic transmission purely to INEC’s discretion is not neutrality. it is abdication! Electoral credibility in a low-trust environment cannot depend on goodwill. Democracies entrench minimum standards in law precisely because institutions are run by humans, not angels. The constitution already prescribes voting age, tenure, and timelines. why should result transparency be the exception?

Finally, the global trend from India to Brazil to Ghana, is legal backing for technology-assisted transparency, not vague administrative promises. Nigeria’s problem has never been technological incapacity; it has been process opacity.

This is just intellectual laziness.
A simple research will show that Elon Musk's starlink satelite services and others are able to provide a stable Internet connection even in the most remote locations.

Well Nigerians pay you lots to bring solutions so you better justify your jombo salaries.

The news of President Tinubu’s fall in Turkey is genuinely concerning. Wishing him a swift and full recovery.
That said, this incident again highlights an important national conversation: leadership of over 200 million Nigerians demands strength, stamina, and full capacity. Old age is a privilege, but the responsibility of office remains heavy and unforgiving.
Nigeria deserves leadership that is healthy, capable, and fully fit for the task.

A new Nigeria is POssible

illicit:
The issue she had with the other men might not be too much sex

I have excused myself from a lady that could fvck all d time but she waits for u to initiate it


D moment u do mistake touch her, u might end up blaming urself sha

I could have died

Sai dah..........Where is EKPEITUT to save the day!

What are you trying to sell?
Go straight to the point. stop baiting people.

Interesting times. It has begun.

Chivisee:
Shinedu go and listen to wise elders close to you if you have any! A lot of Nigeria’s are making the country proud, everything is not leaders! How have you made your country proud?? What innovations/impact have you brought in your immediate environment, if any of this answer is zero then you need to start blaming people populating other country’s with drugs and claiming and deceiving people that they are hardworking !

I will respond to this tribal outburst directly.
First, what exactly compelled you to address me as “Shinedu”? Why is your reflex response to criticism of government or leadership to drag the Igbo identity into it? When faced with a simple observation or complaint, why do you instinctively search for an ethnic scapegoat?

Do you seriously believe Nigeria consists only of Igbos, Yorubas, and Hausa/Fulani, or is this just intellectual laziness disguised as tribal defensiveness?

As for “impact,” I am under no obligation as a private citizen to justify my existence or list my contributions to you. One, you wouldn’t believe it anyway. Two, you’re not asking in good faith. You’re only fishing for ammunition to fuel yet another tribal rant.

Whether you like it or not, successive governments are largely responsible for the poor image Nigerians face abroad. This is not opinion; it is reality staring us in the face: lack of transparency, zero accountability, entrenched corruption, and a shameful indifference to the insecurity ravaging the country. The list goes on.

Fix the rot at the head, and the body will heal. Until then, spare us the tribal deflections, they solve nothing.

...Secondly he waves around a 3rd world flag as if it is worthy of respect...

Our leaders have turned us into a laughing stock. Many people genuinely hold this view, even if only a few are bold enough to express it publicly.

zoedew:
Try harder. From PDP to APC to PDP to ADC to NOM. Atiku will catch nothing as usual. He is described in Obasanjo's book as a thief. Atiku has neither publicly denied that or gone to court to sue Obasanjo for libel. In the result it is true that Atiku is corrupt and a thief!
You guys do not love Nigeria. The educated know that. That Tax initiative is one of the best things to happen to Nigeria in recent times. Nigerians generally don't pay tax and is one big reason they take voting and accountability by elected government officials lightly. Its implementation will make Nigerians more politically conscious and demanding of accountability from elected officials who mismanage the finances of Nigeria. You cannot be paying tax and not be interested in how it is used. Before now the tax net in Nigeria was loose.

Nigerians are united on this. No self seeking druglord will turn Nigeria into his private estate. We will heavily resist him. This is just the begining.

Everything about the tax initiative is shrouded in vagueness no concrete benefits or timelines to see benefits only out to take from the vulnerable masses. Worst of all Timlubu is partnering with France to implement this travesty. They cannot even make public the details of the MOA signed.

Obi can never deputise Atiku, that ship has long sailed. Its Obi or nothing.

A New Nigeria free of corruption and mindless embezzlement of public funds is POssible.

Goke7:
He’s telling you how America will continue to muscle their way and even sponsor terrorism to do their bidding you’re still arguing 😂 na wa for una

Bros our government had 15 years to stem this insecurity but failed. So I dont blame any country taking advantage of our stewpidity and lack of will power.

Can America try this with Malaysia
Put your house in order and you won't have to worry about outsiders.

casualobserver:
America is not here for Christians, America is here for America….that means money….it’s all they care about.


Those pushing a christian genocide agenda who think America is here to protect them will be disappointed. Similarly on the govt side those who are celebrating because Riley took pictures with Ribadu will equally be disappointed.

America has an ambassador in Nigeria, their ambassador is not here to take pictures. This is the same America that was compiling intel reports on Aliko Dangote as far back as his early 20s when he was just a regular businessman. They have intelligence on Nigeria, they know more about Nigeria than we do.

Riley is not here on a fact finding mission. It’s just optics. They have already concluded that Christian genocide is the leverage they are going to use to muscle their way into Nigeria and that is going to be the conclusion of their report. Did you see Riley visit any mosques or Muslim hit areas? That tells you he is not interested in truth but the appearance of fact finding.

They will submit a report that there is Christian genocide and they will use it as leverage to muscle their way into favorable economic deals. If they do t get their way, they will fund the terrorists they have been funding and use it to create more mayhem in order to reinforce their narrative.

America doesn’t care about Christian killings. Nigerian Christians are not white christians, If more Christian’s have to die to give America more leverage they will facilitate more Christian deaths. That’s how America rolls.

Your opinions are valid because we are all entitled to one. Can you in the same breathe and depth explain why the government is allowing the killings in Nigeria to persist?

We have IDP camps with displaced people, we have people seething from the pain of loosing their loved ones, properties and ancestral lands yet the government is turning a blind eye.

Fix your country and you won't attract the attention of others who donot mean well for your people

The comments from Bashir Ahmed are becoming increasingly frustrating. It is widely understood that Nigeria is an artificial construct created during British colonial rule, and the resulting lack of cohesion continues to affect the country today.

This disconnect is part of why violence in certain regions persists without accountability or empathy for its victims. Nigeria urgently needs structural reforms and stronger consequences for those who enable or participate in terrorism so that the value of human life is upheld across all parts of the country.

Your democracy is a bad joke!
Kai! This one enter because its the plain honest truth.

kayjordan:
The Nigerian Senate will and should approve his nomination on the basis of work-skills only - as long he hasn't violated any law, he is worthy of any nomination.

I am not surprised here. You guys have dropped the ball so bad that you now accept mediocrity as a standard.
Only recently Ezra co-founder of Paystack got terminated owing to tweets he made some 10 years ago. Let that sink in, perception is everything.

Just pull up Reno's past tweets.

Reno mockery, are you trying to spin this. Awon Wendel Spin Smith. Sorry, the Senate approves this travesty then Nigeria is gone because subsequent government will appoint the most despicable amongst us to represent us.

Talk is super cheap.

Now you have the opportunity to implement the strategy you gave to Expresident Jonathan.

The ⏰️ is ticking, cradle rockers are snatching babies from their nurseries.

It is both astonishing and disheartening to see a segment of society celebrating this court ruling. While terrorists are actively kidnapping and murdering innocent people in their own communities, these individuals are more invested in a legal spectacle. Their priorities are not just misplaced; they are a profound and disturbing failure of moral judgment.

Nigerians are taking notes.

This sentence sweet me die. My long awaited moment.

I so much love this. I won't lie.

Justice for the blood of the innocent Christians and every family or family members killed in the South East because of I P O B and E S N led by this T E R R O R I S T called Kanu.

Justice finally for the Lagos State government at last.

Justice for all security officers killed while doing their duties, the vigilantes, the police, DSS, Millitary.

Justice for his dog that died o.

Justice delayed is indeed not denied.

The blood of all those he killed will torment him till he dies in custody.

Again, I so love this sentence.

So, tell me at what point will you actually demand justice for the chaos unleashed by Fulani herdsmen and terrorists? After the devastation of your own communities, the attacks on northern Christians and Muslims alike, and now even the killing of a Brigadier General… what exactly are you still waiting for

Rephrase the question to:
Can a former governor (Wike) still issue valid commands to a current governor (Fubara)?

If your answer is Yes, then you have the answer you are looking for

You corrupt politicians are toying with young, vibrant officers. Go and ask Buhari how old he was when he joined the military — he was just in his early twenties when he became part of the military junta that shaped Nigeria’s history.

Meanwhile be wary of a man who is calm in the face of provocation, they are very unpredictable and highly calculative. That officer is a bad guy.

If you believe the government drove you to extremism, explain why you would harm ordinary people who are not responsible for those decisions. If your goal is justice, focus your actions on changing the government’s behavior rather than targeting Christians, Muslims, or other civilians who do not share your agenda.

I welcome the American interest in getting the Nigerian government accountable for their inaction in stemming the bloodletting, kidnapping and genocide.

This is what Tinubu’s incompetence and nonchalant attitude have brought upon Nigeria : a looming threat of foreign invasion by America. I often wonder, in my personal reflections, how these politicians manage to sleep at night knowing their citizens are being slaughtered, like the tragic killings in Yelwata.

Tinubu, obsessed with the 2027 elections, seems to believe it’s business as usual , that he can do whatever it takes to secure re-election, by hook or by crook.

Well, e don choke am!
Now you are being forced by a higher power to secure the lives of your country men. Something you took an oath to do o.
