No surprises, the igbos will not readily join any party they are not dominant and in any party they are dominant, they will occupy everywhere in that party. Na their way

Only those who don't understand Nigeria's political and party system will argue this. This has been the trend since independence.

Ayo25:
Elections in Nigeria is

90% based on hatred
5% ethnicity
5% logic

Dont let anybody deceive you about shout of competency being the reason they are voting their candidates.otherwise.

omo I can't disagree o

Shattuck:
look I'm from Edo state and I voted obi too there is no need to turn around because some people insulted your tribe, you are free to vote sanwolu or anybody else,if you look at what is happening you can't absolve your tribesmen too of tribalism, I have been called ipob and chinedu, even Biafra but I can't use this to insult or ridicule the entire Yoruba tribe, I only call them out, as apc or tinubu supporters not as Yorubas, even when almost all are likely to be Yoruba, if you believe in obi that's because you see things in him you admire why not stick to that, even if you are voting sanwolu that's because you see things in him you admire, I am not a Lagos resident but I think sanwolu is a gentleman, for most folks I know who support GVR, either they live in Lagos or not it's just about putting an end to godfatherism and political thuggery by sending a message there are a lot of non indigene who aren't Igbo who share same sentiment, my sister has a lot of resentment/ hate for the Yoruba tribe now she thinks you are the most tribalistic people in Nigeria for the usually threat against non indegenes in Lagos and the insult on others who live in Lagos, I had to tell her that most of these folks are just tinubu/apc supporters, but she thinks it is the tribe, my reason for saying this is if you say you want to hate on the Igbos all of a sudden because of what you were called, others look at you too and hate on you because you hate on others, you will be called a tribalist too at the end nothing seperate you from the people you think are tribalistic, the only thing in your mind you will think your tribalistic hate is justified, but then again so does others.

hypocrisy, god fatherisim and thuggery is in every corner in Nigeria, GRV had a god father in Bode George, in fact that's why he fell out with Jandor in pdp. The issue is why the fixation on Lagos when thuggery and godfathers are all over the country. Or are the Yorubas alone involved in thuggery? I repeat again, this election both presidential and gubernatorial were tribal and all tribes in Nigeria played a part so let no one pin tribalism on the Yorubas and leave those who were even the worse culprit.

Ayo25:
Honestly this is one point i can't seem to understand at all, how Obi is more competent than any candidate in the race at all, let alone Tinubu.

Like these people just opened the dictionary and gather all the good qualities a leader could possibly possesses and clothe Obi with it . Ask them instances where he displayed thise qualities,
they will start blabbing.

Just that Obi cannot win but i would have loved him to win if only to teach the foolish few supposedly woke Yorubas that he is nothing close to what they think he is

They just packaged Obi and deceived gullible Christians. This election has taught me one thing, we dey deceive ourselves by saying vote for competence. Our elections are simply tribalistic including those deceiving everyone to vote for competence, na tribalism everybody dey promote cos I didn't even understand how someone will be voting for a GRV that does not understand what governance is. Are those voting for GRV voting based on competence or what? it's really baffling, too much deception

damble:
Same with me. I regretted voting Obi. Those boys have turned it to igbo agenda

you were all scammed. how on earth is Obi more competent than BAT, Obi who had nothing to show as a former governor?

Na wa for una allowing people to hoodwink you

anybody who thinks he's under a siege in Lagos can relocate, there are even better cities in Nigeria to live

You can join obi in court

Obi that’s not the legitimate candidate of lp

He knows he will loose woefully in court hence wiping sentiments on tv stations

And na this girl make Obi cry that day o

Okorietitus:
You people are very wicked
More than 1,000 Igbo youths were killed by Awkuzu Sars while Peter Obi was Governor, none of you hypocrites including that Agulu nkita called Peter Obi said anything. Today, you are asking stupid questions about Lekki.

The Igbos killed by Peter Obi's administration in Anambra, are they lesser humans than those in

The Igbos are hiding their agenda behind endsars, it's an emotional bait to hoodwink people, after the gov elections everything will die off but it's up to sanwolu to handle and face up to the endsars balckmail if he's man enough

Minjim:
When you get to position of power, you will need to make choices between two bad options.

Sanwo olu doesn't really have control over what the Army did. He might have call them then because the police were obviously stretched and overwhelmed.

sanwolu is too soft to handle these sorosoke youths, he's the one that gave them too much mouth to make noise. Despite the fact he has compensated all the injured guys, still they are using it to intimidate or harass him, sometimes I don't blame people like wike. Nigerians at times need very rugged rulers

Ireportlive:
International best practice, auction cars violating rules when they can't pay fine


Black emotional unintelligent apelike humanoid can wail

don't mind the illiterates, o very ignorant people

you can't be ordering INEC when it's electoral act and guidelines is so clear, this is just an abuse of court process, doesn't make sense, and not binding

pressure ti wa

MT:
That was the best goal of the year. How did he execute that goal. Total piece of genius!

The goal no need to go and verify

It’s the goal of the year

seunmsg:
But LP claimed they have all the results from the over 176k polling units. Why do they need INEC data to file their case? What exactly do they want if they don’t want the summary of result as declared by INEC? Do they want INEC to manufacture result showing Peter Obi winning for them or what?

When they don’t have agents everywhere, those guys were not prepared for the elections and it’s obvious when Obi can’t differentiate btw irev and bvas

Outstandingmam:
Smh

I think the man is tired. He needs to rest. Electioneering is no joke. No wonder Tinubu and Atiku are hiding in some places to regain energy.

It's possible he knows it but mental fatigue was his enemy at that point in time. He was truly blabbing there very ignorantly

He needs to keep entertaining his base to stay relevant that’s all.

Majority of his base are people who don’t read enough to detect his lies

Na God save us o see the illiterate that would have been our president

Him tu lie indeed

HIPROFILE:
From your deduction it means Tinubu did not also meet the full requirements for him to be declared winner of the election since he did not get 25% in Abuja, hence his declaration is wrong and should be redressed.

Tinubu met the requirements, simple. The election already has a winner, Obi and Atiku have no path to victory from the results. The law is so clear. Stop allowing ignorant lawyers who want to take advantage of the electoral season to cash out mislead you. It hurts Tinubu won but it's what it is.

HIPROFILE:
APC actually made a mistake that would spoil all their rigging efforts which is not being able to rig Abuja to 25% that is were they made the mistake and this is one of the basic grounds on which Obi reserved the conviction to go to court as the declaration of Tinubu is not in line with what the constitution stated about the FCT.

It's waste of time, it won't fly in the court. Obi himself didn't get 25% in 2/3 of the states, so what will the FCT matter give him?

This one wey their own irev no fit show the figure wahala Dey o

Abi na for spirit world dem collate their own

Houseontherock1:
Many Christians, including me, were pushed towards the ethnic support by the likes of you! Trying to get christians to vote for you while still playing the ethnic card was just ridiculous.

You were scammed, simple. They deceived you guys that it was not about ethnicity but competence as if Obi get competence sef.

The Obi presidency was an ethnic agenda laced with religion to make more people buy into it unaware about their ethnic agenda

No difference btw pdp and lp

Lp was just another option for pdp

soojar:
I wasn't expecting his excellency to respond that way to the question asked.

A certain Abiola lost his businesses, he lost his wife and lost his own life

some Yoruba's lost their lives during the protests in Lagos, no one of such protests happened in Igbo land and there is no record of any life lost there.

Some Igbos in NADECO lost their properties just like some other Yorubas like Tinubu, Soyinka etc.

So, it's not cool of HE Peter Obi to say Igbos lost more to June 12, that would be a blatant lie.




We learn everyday.

what do you expect from a liar who's messing with the minds of the youths? He's just behaving like a typical Igbo man always trying to rewrite history.

The Nation Newspaper had to do a dirty job to get CBN to come out. Shame!

KimFlorence:
Some people talk as if the Indians, Lebanese, Chinese, Europeans, American, Fulanis/Hausas, Yorubas, Niger-Deltans don't own properties or lands in Lagos, that they own everything or have bought everything, this inferiority complex and dementia is so glaring. There are hundreds of skycrappers in Lagos, let them mention 20 of those wholly owned by an Igbo and I'll believe them. A lot of properties in London are owned by Arabs, Russians, Africans and other European nationals and nobody is making noise about it. Because you own a few properties in Lagos which provided equal opportunities for all Nigerians to grow being a former nation's capital you now claim you own Lagos or you've bought all the properties in Lagos. How about your home states, what have you contributed to it's development instead of claiming to develop other people's lands. Imagine developing other places when you leave your own place underdeveloped and in the trenches. Last time I check, a lot of properties are still owned by the Yorubas in Lagos and the Igbos are just businessmen living mainly in rented houses. Like every city in the world, anyone can buy properties legally if they can afford it. Thousands of Nigerians own houses and properties in the USA and other advanced countries, they can never claim to own the place. There are tens of thousands of Yorubas in the UK alone, they never claim they own part of it, everyone know their history.

Yorubas will learn their lessons this time around and I see many Igbos becoming homeless after the elections and not even the courts can save you. I stopped taking you people serious when you claim to have spent 44 Trillion naira to develop Northern Nigeria. Why can't you spend half of that amount to develop the East and see if Nigerians won't come and settle down there.

The claim that Yorubas are at a disadvantage is wrong and I have never believed in it. The major investors in Lagos are still the Yorubas, the problem is these lousy guys who gloat about their so-called investments

Osanoghodua1:
Tinubu and his crook supporters are about to witness the finger of God just as it happened in Egypt and Babylon. The hand writing is already on the wall. Brethren, there shall be no swearing in. God will show a sign to judge the wickedness of the wicked in this nation. You shall see it but you have no part in this matter oh ye vipers.

Blasphemy

dman4mdmoon:
I think Obi should calm down a bit and talk less. Presidential election campaigns are over. He should allow the legal team to do their job. All these talk-talk will not influence the judgement in his favour, rather it will even spoil the case for him.

He has to keep the obedients happy else he will incur their wrath and collect his portion of their bashing. Both Obi and Obedients are under self inflicted captivity

deji17:
Obi tells too many lies, this is why I dont like the guy.
What were Cynthia Okeke and others doing? Yet you see Obi lying blatantly that he should have scored 100% in Anambra and south east. Shameless thief.

He just confirmed himself as a master rigger

Na youths wey de listen to this man I pity pass. He has brainwashed them

Emotional rant from a loser, a man who invested state money into family business

tungamaje:
How do you know he is lying? Were there irregularities during the election? How do you know if he was short changed to make him not to secure the 25% spread in those states whereas he actually did? As I said earlier, yourself would never allow a thief who stole your belonging to just go away with it because it was God who planned it that way. Would you?

Obi has nothing that was stolen he’s only messing you people’s minds. He’s yet to come up with any evidence that he was shortchanged.

Hear him he said he’s challenging the process and not outcome, even in areas where he got 95% or 100% can he say there were not irregularities there. Dude is messing the minds of the youths and you want us to hail him abi

tungamaje:
Some of those blaming Obi here are real hypocrites. Someone stole your car for example and you know the person but you allow him to go with it because it was God's will. Who would accept it that way? I am saying this because so called deeply religious Nigerians would tell you God planned it that way. Would they forego the car? Never. Now they are accusing Obi of blasphemy

Obi should stop lying he didn’t win any election. Lagos and rivers votes can’t make him president. Did he meet the requirements of 2/3.

What process is he challenging when he didn’t have the spread. If the election is repeated he will still loose. The guy does not have the national acceptability. He too should not call Gods name in vain
