I don't know why Atiku can't act an elder stateman and support a younger candidate from the south. He is shameless to have been contesting for presidential election since 1993.

how can a 64 year old grandpa b described as a younger candidate?


If u mean a younger candidate then it should b around 40-50

ShoeMarket:
When I see people say all manner of thing about Obi, I always laugh. I recall travelling to my state via Anambra when Obi was governor. I always marvelled at the kind of smooth, durable roads Obi constructed in every village. Obi did well in Anambra forget all the bad belle.

Unfortunately, most Nigerians are blind followers and they enjoy that terrible zone. Instead of making genuine enquiry about someone they resort to propaganda and nuisance-ness.

It's really a shame how people choose to be deluded than being objective.

lecturers went on strike for 6 months

Doctors went on strike for 13 months

No infrastructural development

Nothing was done in d state n they were poorer under obi


Those praising him today cursed him badly then n a typical example is owobokiri

This was what he had to say about the agulu packaged fraud then n today u want us to see him as d Messiah

PresidentMUGABE:
Peter Obi continues to expose us, not by making noise, but simply by being himself like a normal leader who lives in western world.

He has exhumed everything that’s wrong with us as citizens.

We’ve become so conditioned to seeing power expressed through arrogance and showmanship that we now find humility unsettling. We can't seem to process the idea that power can be handled quietly, responsibly, even gently.

Obi continues to remind us, again and again, of just how broken our understanding of leadership has become. In a country where power is equated with privilege, and status is often worn like armor, Obi’s quiet consistency unsettles many, not because he offends, but because he doesn’t fit.

The recent viral moment of Peter Obi serving food at a Catholic Church event was, for many, a shock. For others, it was a stunt. But for those who understood the context, it was profoundly symbolic.

He wasn’t pretending. We’re just not used to leadership that is comfortable being human.

It took me back to a deeply personal experience during a leadership retreat I attended years ago in the UK, a program organized for business leaders and social entrepreneurs, funded by the World Economic Forum. We were brought together for ten days of deceleration, to strip leadership down to its essence and reflect on who we are without our titles and positions.

In filling my profile for the event, I requested to be addressed as Dr. Arowolo. I showed up with my full academic identity, and carried it with a bit of flair. Everyone called me "Doc." I spoke as often as my opinions were sought. I felt distinguished, and to some degree, important.

But one of the rules of the retreat was that we were not allowed to introduce ourselves by our jobs or any enterprise we lead. We could talk about anything, family, values, hobbies, but not what we did professionally.

There was a quiet man in our group, warm but reserved. We called him Pete. No suffix. No preface. Just Pete. He didn’t speak much, but when he did, it was measured, deep, and strikingly wise. I connected with him over meals and walks. I admired his mind, but never knew his background.

On the final day, we were finally allowed to say what we did.

And that’s when I discovered that “Pete,” this gentle, insightful man, held a PhD in disruptive innovation and was a professor at one of the most prestigious universities in the world. A true global authority in his field.

I was floored. Not just by the revelation, but by the humility.

Here I was, parading my title, while he carried substance without a label.

It changed something in me.

And it’s the same quiet shift Peter Obi is provoking in our collective consciousness.

Sometimes, the loudest voice in the room isn’t the most powerful one.
Sometimes, the one serving food is the one whose leadership we need the most.

If Obi unsettles you, maybe it’s not because of what he’s doing, but because of what he represents: a different kind of power. A kind we’re not used to.

another one from ipob bureau of statistics

Realdeals:
The campaign will be simpler if it's Obi vs Tinubu.

North will have to wait for another 8 years for their turn, anyone that believes Obi will do just one term is in the land of illusion. They will remember GEJ.

just leave them to their delusion

So who will stop obi from using 2 terms?

It's crystal clear that the north can't b out of power for 12 years, they will rather let Tinubu finish his 4 years n have power back than to gamble with obi

SECDA:
With Obi as the flag bearer and Atiku as VP... The Drug Baron has no where to run.
Check Mate.

see ignorant folks we argue with online

So Atiku can b VP again?

Nchenches:
Sure. Obi defeated Tinubu in 2023. Obi is the candidate now with a large political followers.

His opponents have skeletons in their cupboards.

so with this result from the north u believe he also defeated tinubu?

How can obi win with this result from d north?
How can obi get 25% from 24 states with this result?
How can he get majority vote with this result?

Many of u know nothing about politics

jaxxy:
Well this is an interesting truth. Atiku's time has not come. And Peter Obi with a strong Northern vp will finish the job b4 12noon.

I definitely agree with Bashir on this one.

hope u know south west is already in d bag for Tinubu n right now 5 south south governors are with tinubu n south south too are eyeing VP in 2031 if tinubu wins?

South west n south south are already in d bag for Tinubu, add north central.

With the way north west n north east are been favoured by Tinubu, your obi go cry

walozanga:
Simple truth. Though painful for some. What we need is a man that is tested and confirmed. A man they find very hard to find an atom of corruption in.

thank God obi was never governor of anambara, if to say obi govern anambara for just 1 year that state for don good pass Dubai by now

ArcSEMPECJ:
No is as a result of EYE NECK regretting their mistake in 2023...
They are seriously regretting such a huge terrible mistake .....

so was obi also rigged out in d north?


With this result, how can obi win?

Don't u know he needs to have majority votes n 25% in 24 states before he wins?

So did he get 25% here in over 10 states?

So tell me how can obi win or how would he have won?

IGBOSON1:
You mean the same Mazi Kanu that has also called Igbos' 'derogatory' names? Fact of the matter is Mazi Kanu is a equal opportunities 'abuser' and doesn't discriminate based on ethnicity or religion....not even his own Igbo ethnicity are spared the sharp end of his tongue! Given the idiocy and stubborness of the average Nigerian, they deserve to be addressed harshly , and since some are overly sensitive and tribal, they tend to take offence, especially if the person addressing them is someone they despise ab-initio!

the fact a son beats his father at home n nothing happens doesn't mean he can beat another man's father.

The fact he calls u Ibos derogatory names doesn't mean he can call others

Get that clear

Mrfixitt:
Obi beat him in 2023 squarely but he was rigged in but this time around,he will be check mated. Tinubu is already gone

I guess obi was rigged in the north too?

Oya now, let's see how it goes

Tinubu Vs obi in a two man race, at least we will solve d question of southern superiority once n for all

Gentledove2001:
I haven’t seen any of you campaigning based on what this man actually achieved during his 8 years as governor of Anambra State. Instead, it’s always one propaganda after another. Now you've moved from praising him for sharing food to celebrating him for sharing shops in another man's land Lagos. Don’t we have land in Anambra State, where most of the traders actually come from?

This is a man whose only notable achievement as governor was establishing breweriesno schools, no hospitals. You people should continue. Even late Buhari wasn’t this desperate.

I tire ooo

Obi failed woefully as governor n he didn't do anything, they have nothing good to say about him as governor so they go about their usual whataboutism.

Mrfixitt:
Every sane person knows that Obi is the best candidate around to get the druggie out of Aso rock. Atiku should do well and support him to save Nigeria from collapse

so obi will win tinubu right?

Oya now, bring it on.

At least we solve this rivalry once n for all

For those saying tinubu rigged out obi in d last election, I guess he rigged him out in d north too?


U people don't even know how d north feels about u, no problems

Tinubu Vs obi in a two man race

Let's see who get mouth pass for north n south

I support Tinubu with all the strength in me but since many of Una believe say obi go defeat Tinubu

Oya now


Let's see how it goes

BewareOf419:
They should act fast by renaming Lagos itself because Lagos is not a Yoruba word or name

we call it Eko, it's outsiders that call it Lagos

MufasaLion:
I still do understand how a grown up man would be on the road screaming and recording people's cars when he should be working!

I detest lazy folks! Nigerians copy almost everything they see online and replicate it here. Folks abroad ain't doing it due to hunger!

what if he's on shift?

So it's everyone that should b doing 9-5pm right?

WickedAfonja:
Omo
Fear these people or pay the price
A word is enough for the wise


Good night

what did u say when nnamdi kanu called yorubas derogatory names?

RollinTNDA:
ESN walked so that AMOTEKUN could fly
ESN started it and others followed

I remember when ESN first started
They were heavily ridiculed and critizied
Now every state is following their model.

Akeredolu wife is from imo state
You can see how she inspired Akeredolu to create Amotekun for Yorubas the same way igbos created ESN

Betty Akeredolu low-key influenced a lot of Akeredolu decision in govt.

Igbos are trend setters
Tho they lack the cohesion and are easily targeted with Federal might.
They are truly 4 steps ahead into the future

ESN might have been politically destroyed but there imprint on AMOTEKUN will ever live long. God bless AMOTEKUN!!!

always wanting to take d glory of others

What happened to your ebubeagu?

. ESN is a terrorist wing n it can't b compared with amotekun

madridguy:
They are not original, they lack wisdom to create anything, either they copy from you or they envy you. They created monsters that today they're running away from their region.
They're not stopping there, they are also trying to sponsor a bill to claim land that doesn't belongs to them.

they ruin their own with hate n when it dawned on them they want to claim other people's region.

It's only people who don't value their own that will sponsor that kind of bill

kettykin:
The 60s are just getting a careless and a crucial repeat, what is pending now is a controversial census and the final tipping point of 2027 Election.

My prayer is that igbos will not be in the menu in Nigeria's butchering table this time around.

Bookmark this post , the numerous killing of innocent blood. Humans, etc, will reach a crescendo before evolving into a human catastrophic tsunami soon .
The generations that fought and endured the uncivil war are passing away and gradually being replaced with a short sighted and careless generations that will repeat a bigger mistake.
Nigeria might end up like Sudan. The war between Russia and Ukraine might end up being fought in Nigeria. Let them keep stoking the flames.

Igbos who are investing all their lives savings in Lagos and Abuja should get their hankerchief ready . Move a part of your investment to Dubai, London, Canada, south Africa, Paris etc. Is this too much to ask for,sometimes I weep for my fellow igbos, their stubbornness defies logic. With all the security flags everywhere, they are still investing deep into Abuja and Lagos rather than Dubai and other safenet. I am taking about the billionaires here not investment below N10b

the last time statistence released the list of property owner by tribe d other day, ibos only had 7%

So what's d noise about?

AMINDA:
What's with the SW too and all the unity begging? When did the people of the SS tell you that they're voting Tinubu? Is it Deltans, Akwa Ibomites, Bayelsans or Edo than Tinubu is banking on. He lost all these states woefully in 2023 and nothing will change in 2027 even with rigging.

oga those people have left u to your hate.

Hope u know south south are number 3 citizen now n once tinubu wins in 2027 by 2031 they will produce VP

So keep hating while they keep progressing

madridguy:
The is another good news. Amotekun is now a global security agency.

this further solidify the claim that we ain't d same n we don't face issues the same way

I remember when the Fulani menace came we used our head n created amotekun that today is recognised by UN but they went and create a terror group that is making them run away from their region till date.


This further solidify the claim that the pen is mightier than the sword

jmoore:
Chai!! All these Monday Okpebhloho students.

Una go explain tire. LAGOS is the name and it's Portuguese.

is it still no man's land?

opamoses1:
The erroneous publication below by Samuel Chimezie Isaiah.

with time successive governments will stop putting these people in sensitive positions.

They can't just hide their hate for the country

EmperorIsaac:
Imagine...loan! Increase these people's salaries for Christ sakes.

u don't even know what salary increment is, u just want to criticize every move by d government.

Na so e easy reach?

The same people tinubu disbursed 50biliion naira for recently

SeraphicWind:
The way and manner these opposition leaders are going about 2027 is most times confusing to me. But let me just assume it is all part of their strategy.

I am even of the opinion that Peter Obi, Nasir El Rufai, Atiku, Kwankwaso, David Mark and Aregbesola should became extremely brutal in their campaign strategy. They should develop a massive attack strategy that would match Tinubu and his minions Power for Power, Money for Money... Even overboard for Overboard!!! It is that serious.

The Northerners should fear the second tenure of Tinubu the most. This man will be ruthless on them.

Imagine how that thing called monday bholo threatened Peter Obi . On what levels? Someone that couldn't pass ordinary Adult Education WAEC

Well, welcome to Nigeria. An absurd country!!!

ADC should take these threats from APC seriously.

Infact, One overboard on ADC should equal 100 overboard on APC.

There is a way it can be done despite APC controlling the Police, Army, Airforce and other armed forces. Trust me on this.

These opposition leaders should know by now that they are dealing with an extremely dangerous president who wouldn't mind going the extra mile to remain president despite his OBVIOUS USELESSNESS.

I really pity Northerners should Tinubu win second tenure. It is extremely dangerous for them.

This is a man who has been dealing with the underworld all his life! Extremely wicked, evil and manipulative.

Look at the way he goes around manipulating governors to join APC. To guarantee them second tenure. We know he is the one doing all that.

Opposition leaders, wake up! Wake up!! Wake up!!!

Start recruiting agents that would strongly man every polling station the whole North and South. Pay them enough money.

Don't allow them to announce any criminality at the polling booth. Don't listen to them about using the Nigerian courts. The Nigerian Judiciary is extremely compromised! They are of no use to the nation. Just look at Nigerian courts.

The one called Wike literally has them in their pockets!!

I pity any investor that would put money in such a nation. Sorry is your name!!

either u like it or not, tinubu will rule u till 2031
