I sincerely hope there’s a secret video recording of this transaction somewhere. Let the little rascal enjoy his moment of triumph and bask in the illusion of having outsmarted everyone. Then, when his confidence is at its peak, release the footage.

Interesting. I must have missed the outrage when Wike was building houses for judges. So the principle isn’t really “don’t give judges gifts”. it’s “don’t give judges the wrong kind of gift.” Apparently, a house passes the morality test, but a cow or ram suddenly becomes a national scandal. 😏

These are the some of the wanted suspects from the Onitsha gang, police no dey forget o.

They think say dey just go kpai Obi Papa, throw am inside River Niger & go free?

You’re clutching at straws. Where exactly is the reference to Peter Obi? Are you deliberately missing the point, or is basic comprehension becoming a problem? Someone once said you can’t defend the APC without making yourself sound stewpid.

favor914:
I heard through the grapevine, that Obi’s father was a drug peddler, that was thrown into the River Niger by his suppliers for not remitting their money .

So I want to believe that there is some element of truth in his early trade business in secondary school.

Story for the gods..

Trust me, if there were even an iota of truth to what you’re saying, your APC goons would have blown it up by now. But you’ve got nothing.

Peter Obi remains one of Nigeria’s finest political exports and, in recent times, a genuine breath of fresh air in our political space.

HacheNoire:
So what’s spectacular about that?

Is that a unique trait that qualifies one to become the president?

I think having a drug forfeiture case is a unique trait that qualifies one to become the president.

Somebody recently said, "All is fair in politics." When the cardinals challenged him, he unleashed his attack dogs against them.

Now, who was really right?

Freezing a state government's bank account without a valid court order is one of the most brazen assaults on Nigeria's constitutional democracy. If the rule of law can be discarded for political convenience, then democracy itself is under attack.

A high birth rate is not a sign of national success if it is not matched by economic growth, infrastructure, quality education, healthcare, and job creation. A rapidly growing population without proper planning places enormous pressure on schools, hospitals, housing, food supply, and employment, often leading to higher poverty, insecurity, and social instability.

Population growth is an asset only when a country has the capacity to invest in and create opportunities for its people.

Tinubu's government is widely criticized for wasting scarce resources and failing to prioritize investments that improve citizens' lives. Leadership is not about controlling births; it is about ensuring there are enough jobs, schools, hospitals, and opportunities for the people who are born.

michlins:
Unfortunately my people are too sentimental to know when a policy is meant to destroy them.

Tinubu and all the politicians don't depend on the US AIDS to live and get by. It's you the poor person that needs those vaccines and AIDS but celebrate because you think you're fighting for God

After certain medications are off the shelf or too expensive for you to buy, you will come back to blame tinubu

You should be more worried that Tinubu's APC government is now being described as a corrupt government. That is not coming from ordinary Nigerians. It is a reputation this administration has earned for itself. Imagine how much credibility Nigeria has lost because of the actions of those in power.

Don't worry about ordinary Nigerians. We are already experiencing shege pro max under this government. The real question is, why would any government choose to enrich a privileged few instead of using our common wealth to improve the lives of millions of Nigerians?

Enough of the excuses. Nigerians deserve a government that serves the people, not one that keeps making life harder while those in power keep getting richer.

A new Nigeria is POssible.

jogojogo:
What should Tinubu do that's yet to be done?
Why didn't US Army stop the Christian genocide when they came?
To whose disadvantage if US stops aids to Nigeria
Aids or no aids, Tinubu has nothing to lose

You wrote all that and still think it makes sense? A foreign government has publicly described Tinubu's administration as "corrupt" and is withholding aid to pressure it into upholding its constitutional duty to protect the lives and guarantee the security of Nigerians. Yet your only takeaway is that Tinubu has nothing to lose?

That says more about your reasoning than it does about the situation.

Praktikals1000:
Ok. You win this time

Brother, its not about winning.
I just want a Nigeria that actually works for everyone.

If we're being honest, after everything we've experienced as a country, don't you think it's time we tried something different? We can't keep doing the same thing over and over and expect a different outcome.

Peter Obi isn't perfect. But from what we've seen, he comes across as a better option than what we currently have. At the very least, he has consistently talked about accountability, prudent management, and putting the country first.

What I find even more interesting is how the entire political establishment seems determined to stop him. When so much energy is spent attacking one man, it makes you wonder why. There must be something about him they see as a real threat to the way things have always been done.

In the end, this shouldn't be about Peter Obi, Tinubu, Atiku, or any individual. It should be about giving Nigeria a real chance to work. That's all many of us are asking for.

Praktikals1000:
Peter Obi has not reacted to the rescue of the kidnapped victims in Orire, Oyo state. What does that tell you about him?

Stop spreading falsehoods simply because you dislike Peter Obi. Stick to the facts and get your information right.

Funny how you never asked whether the other presidential aspirants reacted. It's always Peter Obi. The obsession is glaring, and it's becoming embarrassing. If you're going to criticize him, at least do it with facts instead of misinformation.

Ttalk:
Look at the people who defended Peter Obi for getting injunction not to appear at panel of enquiry set up to address police brutality and extra judicial killings in Anambra during Obi tenure are now running mouth in support of international enquiry.

Hypocrisy of the Obidients stink

Are you saying Governor Makinde is an Obidient??

He who has nothing to hide has nothing to fear. If the Governor suspects foul play or government collusion, he is well within his rights to call for an independent investigation.

The APC-led government should allow a truly independent probe by a neutral and credible body. If there is nothing to conceal, such an investigation should only strengthen public confidence.

What I find curious is the President's spokesman's apparent unease. On closer examination, his response gives the impression of resistance to an independent probe. That raises more questions than it answers.

Kemetian:
Tinubu is a thousand times more sensible, intelligent, focused, and strategic than you and all Obidients.

The poster did not mention names but you were compelled to respond because deep down you know Tinubu is corruption personified.

Chai.

Olofofo247ng:
To the Obidients, everything started with Obi and ends with Obi. Obi the all powerful, Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end of Nigerian politics with credibility, Mr Integrity, Mr Wisdom, Mr AllKwoing, Mr No Nonsense, Mr Go And Verify, The Messiah...

We are incredibly fortunate to have a man like Peter Obi at a time like this in Nigeria. He embodies the integrity, competence, humility, and vision that define true leadership. While many seek power for personal gain, he continues to inspire hope through character, accountability, and service. Leaders like him are rare, and nations are transformed when such qualities are valued over politics as usual.

The Obi's effect in action.

CharlesCNG:
Nobody is saying Pastor Adeboye is above criticism. He is not. If anyone disagrees with his statement on Tinubu and insecurity, they are free to disagree.

But let us not replace facts with vague memory.

You said Adeboye was “far more vocal” against previous governments. Fine. Bring the exact quote, date and context. The most popular claim being circulated — that Adeboye protested against Goodluck Jonathan — has been fact-checked repeatedly and found false. The viral protest photo was from a 2020 prayer walk under Buhari, not Jonathan.

In fact, public records show that Jonathan visited the RCCG camp in 2015, knelt for prayers, and Adeboye prayed for peaceful elections. Reports also showed Jonathan meeting Obasanjo in Abeokuta in the presence of Adeboye and Bishop Oyedepo. So where exactly is this story that Adeboye treated Jonathan with fire and Tinubu with perfume?

Even under Buhari, Adeboye’s 2020 walk was a prayer walk against killings and insecurity, not a partisan campaign rally. And even now under Tinubu, Adeboye did not say Nigeria is safe. He said insecurity has worsened, urged security chiefs to move fast, and called for terrorists and their sponsors to be dealt with. His controversial point was that the President is not expected to personally wear khaki and go to the battlefield.

You can disagree with that. I may even agree that a Commander-in-Chief must ultimately be judged by results, not instructions. But that is different from calling him a tribal hypocrite or pretending he never criticised insecurity under this government.

The real problem is that some people want Adeboye to use their exact political language. If he prays, they say he is silent. If he advises, they say he is soft. If he does not insult Tinubu, they say he is compromised.

Criticism is fair. Abuse is not.

So let us discuss consistency with evidence, not with rumours, recycled photos and emotional suspicion.

This is selective outrage disguised as a defence of decency.

Yes, some Obidients abused Pastor Adeboye, and they were wrong. But let's not pretend abuse is unique to Obidients. Tinubu supporters and data boys have viciously attacked clerics, journalists, critics,ex president Jonathan/his dear wife and even Peter Obi.

Also, criticising Adeboye's comments is not the same as abusing him. You're deliberately conflating the two to shield his statement from scrutiny.

Image123:
Adeboye has consistently asked the government to do better. You're only pained because he's not openly supporting the fraud runaway candidate.

That's a weak deflection.

Whether someone supports Peter Obi or not has nothing to do with the substance of the argument. The issue is whether Pastor Adeboye has applied the same level of public pressure to this administration as he did to previous ones.

If he has consistently asked every government to do better with the same urgency and intensity, then fine. But if his tone becomes noticeably softer when the government is led by someone he is perceived to be close to, people are entitled to question that.

Dragging Peter Obi into every criticism of Tinubu or Adeboye is simply a way of avoiding the real conversation.

As for calling Obi a "fraud runaway candidate," that's just political name-calling. It doesn't answer the criticism. If your defence of Adeboye depends on attacking another politician instead of addressing the point being raised, then you've already conceded the argument.

The issue is not that Pastor Adeboye expressed an opinion. The issue is that many Nigerians remember a time when he was far more vocal about the failures of previous governments. That is why his recent comments have attracted scrutiny.
You cannot build a reputation for speaking truth to power and then appear to lower the standard when your preferred leader is in office. Consistency is the foundation of moral authority.

When previous administrations struggled with insecurity, corruption, fuel scarcity, or economic hardship, Pastor Adeboye did not hesitate to call for urgent action and national repentance. Today, insecurity has become even more widespread, kidnappings have reached communities once considered safe, millions are battling unprecedented economic hardship, yet his public criticism appears noticeably restrained. Nigerians have every right to ask why.

Saying that the President only needs to give orders ignores the very essence of leadership. A Commander in Chief is not judged by the orders he gives but by the outcomes those orders produce. If insecurity continues to worsen, then leadership must be held accountable. That principle applied under previous governments and it must apply now.

It is ironic that some people who once applauded Adeboye for challenging those in power are now asking Nigerians not to question him. Respect for a pastor does not require silence in the face of apparent double standards. Public figures who comment on national issues should expect their past statements to be measured against their present ones.

Reducing every criticism to "Obidients are attacking him" is also misleading. Many of those questioning Pastor Adeboye are not doing so because of Peter Obi. They are doing so because they expect consistency from someone who has long been regarded as a moral voice in Nigeria.
This is not about tribe. It is not about religion. It is about credibility. If the standards used to judge former presidents are abandoned when the current president is involved, then people are justified in pointing out the inconsistency.

Nobody is above criticism, whether politician or pastor. The same courage required to speak against yesterday's government should exist today. Otherwise, people will inevitably conclude that the message changes depending on who occupies Aso Rock.
That is the real issue. Not ethnicity. Not political affiliation. Consistency.

He didn’t loose nothing.
It's all drawdown/ retracement to gather even more momentum to go higher.

NwaliE01:
What did Obi wrote that spate you?


You just lack common sense small.

Ignore these lots they get paid to lambast our incoming President Obi.

Possible Implications
1. Reduced Public Trust in the Courts
If citizens believe judges are receiving substantial benefits from politicians, they may question whether court decisions are truly impartial.
Example:
If a case involving the Federal Government comes before a judge living in a government-provided house, some members of the public may suspect favoritism, regardless of the actual facts.

2. Perception of Executive Influence
Even where no improper influence exists, the perception alone can weaken confidence in the rule of law.
In constitutional democracies, judicial independence must not only exist. it must also be seen to exist.

3. Increased Political Tension
Opposition parties may use the issue to challenge controversial court judgments, claiming the judiciary has been compromised.
This can deepen political polarization and reduce acceptance of court rulings.

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

Counterigbolies:
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.

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.
