All these nnamdi kanu followers and Peter obi supporters.

Person wey com chop for Lagos.

No be tulumbu build lagos again?

Peter Obi is everything they wished their god is.

But the current APC/Tinubu’s supporters cheered this same man to high heavens during Buhari’s regime. They praised every evil he did then. Now they have abandoned him. They can't even speak up for him.

CharlesCNG:
Can somebody close enough please talk to Peter Obi?

Not every microphone is a calling. Not every interview is an opportunity. Sometimes, silence is not emptiness; it is strategy. For a man seeking to lead a complex country like Nigeria, Peter Obi talks too often, too loosely, and too compulsively.

The tragedy is that every new interview that should strengthen him often ends up shrinking him. Instead of deepening his appeal, he begins to devalue his own brand. Instead of sounding presidential, he sometimes sounds like a man chasing applause from a restless fan base.

Leadership is not a running commentary.

A serious leader must know when to speak, what to say, how much to say, and when to allow silence to carry dignity.

The more Obi jumps from one issue to another — court matters, party disputes, security tragedies, economic claims, electoral fears, and vague accusations that “they” do not want him on the ballot — the more he exposes the thinness behind the carefully polished image.

Great leaders do not answer every bell. They do not run after every headline. They do not convert every national tragedy into political oxygen. They speak with weight because they speak with restraint.

Obi’s problem is becoming clear: he mistakes visibility for authority.

But public life is not a market square where the loudest trader wins. Sometimes, the most powerful statement is the one withheld.

Someone should tell him: reduce the interviews, refine the message, deepen the thinking, and stop demarketing yourself with your own mouth.

Because in politics, as in life, silence is sometimes not weakness.

It is wisdom wearing a closed mouth.

BS

Bunkum

Please, leave Peter Obi alone.

Tinubu has been on the seat since 2023. Please, campaign with his achievements on the seat

Lukuluku69:
Lol

You may be right there 😆

60k monthly translates to 2k daily.

1k daily for Garri and Kuli kuli (they can alternate with Akara every other day) that's like 30k on food monthly. Then they can save the remaining 30k 👍 👌

Way to go bro! 🚶‍♀️

Save wetin? Dem see N30k to save? Their money na N30k/month.

Some of them here are boys (men) to kids of of friends to friends of one councillor or so. They seem to make extra funds for running errands for kids dem senior wella, just for crumbs

OredoPikin:
This is it.
Because there was no social media when Tinubu was governor, Tinubu created and and heavily funded private media houses using public money to whitewash his administration. Since there were no alternative media to counter him, the propagandas and lies stays for a very long time.
Now he is president, everyone is now witnessing his administration failures, and since there is no media monopoly again to push another fake narrative (ofcos they have tried but it didn't stick).
So dey return to the old lies and propaganda of him building Lagos since at least that one sticked for a long time.
Their biggest mistake will be running to Tinubu time as governor, now the real truth will be revealed and to God who made me, we are ready
All that lies and propaganda will now be bursted

The funny thing is that they are campaigning with Fashola's achievements oooooo.

There is nothing they can use to campaign for Tinubu after 4 years as "president".

FSBoperator:
Ok, I agree.

Nah this man build Lagos single handedly from scratch as stated by the OP.

Oya clap for him .

Lagos became a state by decree in 1965.

Nothing was done throughout that period until Obasanjo appointed this your brother to begin building Lagos.

We don't gree nah.

How can he build lagos single handedly while una talk say na tonubi build Lagos. Lagos had been bush till May 29, 1999: according you Tinubu’s supporters.

Lukuluku69:
And what will 5k get anyone in present day Lagos, Port Harcourt, Abuja, Kano, Ibadan?

Bros once they don drink garri with kuli-kuli, total N1k and dem step am down with religious and tribal insanity, they are made.

I am still waiting for Iran to attack Israel ooooooo

motayoayinde:
I know you're ashamed of yourself alraedy.
Israel brought US along this time around, Iran beat both blue-black.
You want Israel to do it alone to die a painful death like Netanyahu

Dey vomit phlegm there.

Israel dey bomb Hezbollah and hamas. Wetin Iran fit do? Nothing

Trump is a joke. He should go and rest.

Shebi Bibi told him how bad his deal with iran is. See the deal Israel has with Lebanon and see strength, wisdom, and decisiveness.

Lukuluku69:
See analysis o.

The guy in the UK can pay for his Rent, pay for Internet, eat, commute but he might not have anything to save. That's is true.

But please tell me what you can do with 60k monthly in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Onitsha, Ibadan etc.

One can do a lot with even less than N60k. Example is, one can sell his soul to the devil for even N5k like many APC/Tinubu’s supporters.

TopBanter:
Bwala has a valid point because Nigerians in Britain are burdened by hugely high cost of living.

He did not even include so many other expenses like Council tax etc. If you run a Car, big chunk of money to drive and insure.

After all that though, claiming Nigerians earning 60k Naira monthly are better off than Britons on £2800 is arrogant in my opinion and indicative of how Nigerian leaders are over-privileged and disconnected from the daily struggle and plight of the average Nigerian.

I believe, even conservatively, every Nigerian requires 300k monthly to meet their living expenses.

DomPerignon:
So there was no Lagos when he was appointed military governor by Obasanjo in 1977

He was the one that cleared Lagos bush and started building Lagos from scratch and he did it on his own single handedly as per your choice of topic and in your original post

I hear you.

That history teacher who told you this has his lecture hall under Onitsha head bridge opposite the open air office of the forner Senior Adviser to His Excellency Peter Obi, Governor of Anambra state.

Oh, really?

But una dey vomit say na Tinubu build Lagos. So you know all these, but the nature of supporting APC/Tinubu no gree you talk true.

DomPerignon:
Which history?

A history of lies told by you tribalist revisionist.

Lagos had existed for close to a hundred years before he was appointed military governor by Obasanjo and he was only there for less than a year and you said he built Lagos ?

What will you then say of the likes of Marwa and Mobalaji Johnson who have legacy projects to their names ?

You are the tribalist here because you ignored all other governors who have contributed to Lagos development and went to crown your own Ibo as the sole architect of Lagos.

Una go explain tire. You see that you have now acknowledged that una "Tinubu built Lagos" is huge LIE.

MasterTeeUSA:
For those ignorant amongst us, they do this in the USA too. They will even test your tinted glasses and if it is above the state regulations, you get fined. It is very dangerous to use very tinted glasses.

Police can kill you in the USA thinking you were reaching for a gun because they cannot see inside your vehicle. My new vehicle has no tinted window in the driver window and very low at the back to prevent sun heat.

We need to have more enforcement now as elections draw near, so we do not have war in our hand due to smuggled weapons. Keep up the hardwork.

Just shut up!!!!

When it is convenient for guys, you compare with the USA. Do the American police also collect bribes from people? Are Nigerians permitted to own guns like in the USA? Do politicians or the American government give order for criminals to be released like in Nigeria?

OredoPikin:
Where are the buses🤣
So u mean Tinubu was still governor in 2008🤣
I will help you.
Attached were the first set of BRT buses and they were all bought under fashola in 2008.😂
I think say u said u worked under Tinubu 😏
Una dey lie sha😂 no wonder una dey call Obi liar cause as a natural liars u guys are, u think everyone else na like you.
Imagine lying to yourself thinking you want to deceive others

Tinubu did not buy or pay for a single BRT bus and i will bet money to this if you wan argue further

It is shameful that Tinubu’s supporters are campaigning with fashola's work since over 11 years ago. Why can't they campaign with his achievements from 2023 to date?

Ttalk:
Tinubu didn't do anything just like Peter Obi. You can't spend your entire life discrediting person wey pass you. Leave me and go and ride on Obi Monorail

When it comes to governorship, Peter Obi is far ahead of Tinubu. How much did Anambra have as a state? How much was in lagos as a former federal capital for over 40 years?

Go and rest.

We have seen your god's rulership from2023 till date. Talk of them. Campaign with his achievements as the president

Tinubu’s supporters have no shame.

They are talking of 1999 to 2007. He did nothing tangible them.

Why can't they use his current position to campaign for him?


Use 2023 to present to campaign for Tinubu

grtfem:
One of the so many people who are created mainly to labour in vain is trying all he could to discredit PBAT. I am sorry for you.

Bros tell us wetin he has achieved as the president

Ttalk:
Lol
I didn't realized on time that I was debating a jester, you can have your day.

But next time don't use the word 'invention' when the right word should have been 'innovation'

Bros, he asked you Tinubu’s supporters to list what tinubu did. Till now, nothing

otipoju:
You or whoever wrote the post wrote like Tinubu came up.witb some brilliant idea.

The fact is no. He simply renamed an existing service.

Same thing he did with Operation Sweep that he renamed to Rapid Response Squad.

You can scream Tinubu is the best of the best to small children and Nigerians who did not witness his government first hand.

Tinubu recognized and organized the Agbero collector system.

Tinubu, gave free eye test and eye glasses.

Tinubu brought MOT centers as money making ventures to his cronies.

But Tinubu's major achievement was the sign boards on Lagos roads saying " this road belongs to the federal government "

That is Tinubu's Lagos legacy and no amount of revisionism will change it.

Bros, bless you. You hold Agbadorians for bad place.

Ibrahimcoomasie:
You are trying to be smart by half. Anyone that read your previous post would think Lagos had excellent transport system prior to the governors enugurangers listed. Perhaps, you think you are talking to kids here ba.

Bros tell am wetin else Yinubu do for Lagos as he asked.

sleek214:
Trump knew he signed a very bad deal, he's looking for a way out of the deal J D Vance foolishly negotiated and Iran has given him a reason to pull out of the deal by striking cargo ships and vessels.

Let him see the deal Israel has with Lebanon and learn. He negotiated a truly bad deal with Iran. Trump has ridiculed himself.

Thank GOD for Israel.

Oakenshield:
Hezbollah own dey are just regretting while Lebanon are happy say Israel dey nack Hezbollah very well. Iran will not attack Israel because they be like Rottweiler were dey wait for trouble. A strike on Israel Iran IRGC or president go die

Exactly.

Iran dey fear Israel pass USA.

CharlesCNG:
Tinubu did not create the cancer; he stopped the painkillers and started the chemotherapy.

Those blaming President Tinubu for every hardship in Nigeria today are like people blaming the doctor for the cancer he diagnosed on the first day of treatment.

By May 29, 2023, Nigeria’s economy was already badly damaged. The country was running on expensive fuel subsidy, multiple exchange rates, weak revenue, heavy debt-service pressure, high inflation, oil theft, low investor confidence and a Central Bank that had been used to fund government deficits through Ways and Means.

The IMF had warned before Tinubu’s inauguration that Nigeria’s fuel subsidy should be permanently removed by mid-2023 and that the country’s multiple exchange-rate system was a major source of vulnerability. It also called for reforms in tax compliance, customs, oil theft and revenue mobilisation.

In simple terms, Nigeria was living like a man borrowing money to buy painkillers while refusing to treat the disease.

Fuel subsidy alone was bleeding public finance. The World Bank later estimated that subsidy removal would save about ₦2 trillion in 2023 and over ₦11 trillion by the end of 2025. That means the old system was not free; it was a hidden debt machine.

So when Tinubu came in and removed subsidy, unified FX windows and began revenue reforms, he did not create the crisis. He removed the plaster covering the wound.

Yes, the treatment has been painful. Inflation, transport costs and food prices have hit ordinary Nigerians hard. Government must do more to cushion the vulnerable and convert macro reforms into household relief.

But let nobody rewrite history.

Tinubu inherited a patient already collapsing from years of economic deception. Subsidy was not prosperity. Multiple exchange rates were not stability. Borrowing to consume was not growth.

The real debate is not whether Nigeria was comfortable before Tinubu.

The real debate is whether we should return to the old painkiller politics or continue the painful surgery needed to save the patient.

But your god continued from where buhari stopped.

Na Bahrain and Kuwait Iran go attack. Why not attack Israel? Shebi Israel na American outpost.

Israel has been attacking Hezbollah in Lebanon and hamas in gaza for weeks now and yet no response from the mouthy Iran.

Make Iran try na small attack the USA on her soil kwanu. Anyway, we no send the USA. Na Israel be our country.

Did Tinubu’s supporters not say that the force of demand and supply will crash the price of fuel?

Northerners say they are Arewa.
Yorubas say they are Oduduwa.
Now they want the Igboman to deny Biafra?

They are mad. Peter Obi will never deny Biafra. Whether he wins or not will never reduce him.

The good thing is that Nigerians WILL NEVER HAVE GOOD LEADERSHIP as long as they hatred for the Igboman continues.

I laugh at Umahi and Soludo

Streetinvestor2:
Is he not an igbo man so why should he condem baifra.
How many northerners condemned arewa
How many Yorubas condemned oduduwa.
So Igbos should condem thr identity because of drug baron

May GOD bless you.

Northerners say they are Arewa.
Yorubas say they are Oduduwa.
Now they want the Igboman to deny Biafra?

They are mad. Peter Obi will never deny Biafra. Whether he wins or not will never reduce him.

The good thing is that Nigerians WILL NEVER HAVE GOOD LEADERSHIP as long as they hatred for the Igboman continues.
