As a neutral, I would tell you guys to rest.

Obi media soldiers have won both online and offline, I give it to them.

You Tinubu soldiers are just beating around the Bush, no substance. Time is up already, February is here.

But I enjoyed the vawulence all these while sha

As a rational 'neutral', I'm sure you also know that Obi's soldiers are organic, revolutionary volunteerists working gratis because of genuine conviction, whereas the frog-eyed drug baron's soldiers are almost entirely poorly remunerated hirelings driven strictly by pecuniary benefits and/or expectations.

That said, it is impossible to be truly neutral in this particular contest. That's why the likes of Pastor Adeboye and the other Deeper Life faker have exposed themselves as charlatans. I would respect them more if they openly display their deep tribalism by endorsing their Yoruba Lokan Asiwaju Tinubu with their full chest rather than double-speak and fake neutrality. Nobody of good conscience and enlightenment can be neutral when looking at the three major contenders.

its very obvious u knw notin abt politics

It is very obvious that you're not particularly bright. Always pitiable when some of you bumpkins smugly dismiss the logical opinions of others with a very odious and misplaced 'all knowing' superiority complex.

Okay, so you know everything about politics, so please tell us why Jonathan lost the election in 2015..with his numerous PDP governors and power of incumbency. Don't go back and forth with stupid attempts to be witty. Just unravel yourself.

Some of you wouldn't recognize the handwriting on the wall even if it is grafted with your own faeces.

All these abokki idiots holding important offices. Such a shame.

Lifestone:
All these because he said what is his opinion. He indeed spoke about cyber mobs, what more than what I have red here just now.

But Makinde had not told us his "opinion" about Tinubu. Neither has the dollar grabbing thief in Kano, Tinubu's henchman Ganduje, told us his rotten "opinion" about Kwankwaso.

We will all be alive to see how this ends. Dem no dey tell person.

Never get carried away with small successes. Rather use that modest success as a platform to jump as high as you can.

The key isn't savings as some small children are saying here, but actually consistency of earnings. You have to invest considerable brain juice in making sure that your capacity to continue earning never wanes....

Nobody would give you the blueprint. You just have to be talented enough, or observant and diligent enough, or creative enough, or dynamic enough... Anything it takes to continually remain bankable. If not na sorry be your name.

Bloody liar. You think say dollar na property wey them dey sell giveaway price?

Tell me who's selling at that N405, and I'll mobilise to buy$2m tomorrow.

ATLIEN2027:
All these fake news about Tinubu left and right will not stop Bola Ahmed Tinubu from becoming the n3xt President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Keep sponsoring fake news and write ups.

He will be president of your family. Useless idiot. I'm afraid I can't be civil with you bastards who think Nigeria is some tiny enclave that your discredited master can bully into submission whether they like it or not.

All of you would burn to ashes before that happens.

lhordspy:
With all due respect in the world, i think Prof. Pat Utomi is high on some cheap drugs.

Just look at him making references to South-Korea political settings just like a clueless Peter Obi will always do when trying to dodge and maneuver his way cunningly when been faced with discussions far above his intellectual capacity.

Firstly, the main aim of political debate is to educate, and elucidiate your plans for a greater country and stress more on why people should vote for you.

But in Nigeria here where we have a very silly journalist and supposedly debate organisers or interview host conniving with opposition parties to plan your downfall. Throwing cheap subs in a very obvious manner at a specific candidate.

A very smart man like Asiwaju Tinubu will rather spend his time making political moves, strategising, meeting the main voters and discussing his plans with them RATHER than honouring a mediocre comedy show of a debate which was poorly coordinated, where 80% of the viewers will be the same people sitting at the front of their TV on Election day and on their phones gossiping away about the election rather than going out to vote.

Elections are not won by jumping on every interview or debate to seek public validations but by meeting the real voters directly through town hall meetings and engagements, telling them your plans face-to-face.

You're a disgusting human being.

Diri might have drilled her sometime in the past or present, but he certainly dirint leak anything.

Your wife is not the problem, but she is a problem.

Past?

His shadiness is timeless..... Past, present, and future - if he survives this ill-advised campaign of ignominy

The simplicity is charming in itself. And it is not pseudo simplicity. He was like that even as governor. #go and verify.

I honestly never believed that Peter Obi could come this far, even though I had mentioned on this same forum sometime 2 years ago that only someone like him can get Nigeria back on track. Now that it is looking like he has a foot in the door, now is our best chance. It's up to Nigerians now to do the needful or forever condemn the country to misery.

Loan sharks anywhere in the world are brutal and unfriendly. If you can't play by their rules, then don't borrow from them.

Money matter no be play play matter.

Ribadu is a disgusting tragedy. After parading himself as some almighty anti corruption czar during his regrettable stint as EFCC chairman, he ended up as a lapdog of the most corrupt politician in Nigerian history. A complete and utter disgrace of a human being. From purporting to fight corrupt politicians to ending up not just mingling with them, but being bleeped in the azz and spat on by politicians. Useless idiot.

If Ribadu manages to have any sudden onset of shame, he should seize that golden opportunity to commit suicide because the rest of what remains of his life is worth nothing.

decision01:
If only we ubderstand the � agriculture can fetch us..Northern landmass is a blessing only PO & his likes see..when leaders arise,9ja will stand. The constitution is equally a scam.

Shit hole countries like Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Sudan have larger landmass than Nigeria... How has that made them economic champions or even agricultural powerhouses? The Netherlands is an agriculture powerhouse, but its landmass is less than our Niger State alone, so what are we not understanding here?

Look, it takes serious technical knowledge, organization, discipline, consistent and targeted resource allocation and application...and most of all, outstanding human capital to convert mere land to wealth, or to create something out of nothing. The North doesn't have that and cannot miraculously muster that in the next 50 years, even if we restructure today. Let us stop being too optimistic about these things.

Wahala for "talented" salary earners wey no fit use their talent earn money on their own.

Story for the gods.

Panic selling is a disease. Better hold your dollars and hold it well... Whether cash dollars, dom account dollars, foreign account dollars or crypto/stablecoin dollars. You can't go wrong.

That's a good brother if you ask me.

You don't need a prophet or whatever to tell you that Tinubu's only 'game plan' is to find a way to rig or compromise the election. That explains the irrational confidence of the man himself and his useless supporters.

It is funny really. Nigeria would have to rather burn to the ground rather than this bastard have his way in spite of his obvious zero electoral value. He doesn't even have 1% of the factors that brought Buhari to power... No voting bloc of fanatical devotees, no reputation (real or imagined) of anti-corruption, no real or imagined 'baggage-less' clean record, no incumbent 'other party' bad government for him to be positively compared against or preferred to... Rather he is part and parcel of the incumbent disaster, etc.

I just don't get it when some bastards feel so confident that this fool called Tinubu can buy or bully his way to the presidency whether the rest of Nigeria likes it or not. He would receive worse than the Samuel Doe treatment. They are mad.

This press release is provocative and insulting.

What do they mean by the "IGP acquires"? Did he acquire it with his own money? Why do we like this stupid eye service and personalisation of institutions?

It would be more accurate to say that the Nigerian Police has acquired bla bla bla, than to personalise it and claim that the IGP acquired.

By the way, it is only a matter of time before the drones are re-acquired by the Fulani bandits and terrorists. If it isn't shot down, then the drones would somehow descend on their own into the waiting arms of the terroriss. That's the way things work in this shit hole of a country.

Ijaya. Just look how he stands tall even in defeat.

In retrospect, this guy was legendary. Not necessarily in terms of the prolificacy of his scamming exploits, but more because of his perverse charisma and the impudent flamboyance of his 'doings'.

Thinking about it, instagram is not the same without him. All these other Nigerian glamour boys, some even possibly richer than him, don't come close.

GenerousK:
Thank you for this input. Nigerians never learn. I remember in 2015, everyone was shouting "Sai Baba". They wanted Goodluck Jonathan out of office by all means. It was like Buhari had been reborn. They totally forgot about his reign in the 90s and he was a saint and savior. Well, the rest is history as we are still battling the effect of his "change" and "next level". Now, they want to choke us with "saint Obi" by forcing him into our face every now and then. The most hilarious thing is how everyone claims "Obi is God's mandate" . All I know is, if Obi wins the election, Buhari has shown Nigerians shege bah, Obi will be Shege pro max. It looks easy to change the system from the outside, it is when they get to the so desired office they will start saying they didnt know it was that bad. Remember, the best soccer player is the spectator (na them know how player
suppose play). I know I will refer to this comment in few years, but I hope it will not be too late for Nigerians then.

So, your ultimate point is that either Tinubu it Atiku are better options?

So that they will borrow more money, launder more money, and make the lives of Nigerian masses more miserable. Otherwise what exactly is the benefit of this rubbish for the common man?

Abdulqareem:
WHICH DEBATE? WITH WHO? TINUBU DOESN'T HAVE TIME FOR ALL THIS NONSENSE. LET OBI KEEP ATTEND DEBATE WHILE JAGABAN KEEP WINING

Ode. Clap for yourself. You're very 'wise'. I hope this your perverse wisdom will be profitable.

The problem is not the age. It's just a number.

The problem is getting stuck in your old ways. Fluidity and adaptability is key. I'm afraid I can't explain more. I have dropped a million dollars worth of insight for you. If you don't understand the meaning and importance of these two imperatives... Fluidity and adaptability.. Then the Lord is your strength. Anything can happen though. It's never over until it is over.

tishbite41:
Foolish comparison

Very foolish indeed.

Nigeria where army generals are competing with or even probably richer than most high level businessmen... Courtesy of undisguised graft.

So if you hear that Nigeria has a $5b defence budget and Belgium also has a $5b budget, you would be thinking parity or comparable capacity of some sort.... Not knowing that the bulk of Nigeria's defense budget ends up in the private accounts of generals and other bastards in the political/bureaucratic/security space. Very useless country.

Ireportlive:
As a Nigerian citizen he has the right to vote and be voted for, he has the right to campaign using whatever legal method he likes

Any bitter soul not satisfied can enter lagoon

His manifesto are out go and read it

His campaign train has timetable, check the day he is coming to your state and get off your comfort zone in front of DSTV stations and go and see him live at his town hall meeting

You don't have sense, obviously. So there's no point wasting time with odious characters like you.

Ireportlive:
Your headache na Tinubu wey no send your ancestors

Then let him stay in his house and worship his ancestors privately. Nobody would care. You can't come out to vie for public office and yet feel too big to subject yourself to public scrutiny. Nigeria's presidency is not Tinubu's birth right.

Let him use his TVC and organise a rigged presidential debate, Peter Obi will still take the risk to attend. Is this too much to ask?

Let us agree with Tinubu that the Arise townhall was "poorly organised". No problem. If Tinubu is more comfortable with a debate that will be well organised by his TVC and the Nation, right inside his Bourdillon hideout, no problem. Peter Obi would gladly take the risk to attend this away match behind enemy lines.

Can any of the BAT urchins here communicate this position to their principal?

FreeStuffsNG:
I can see that you have the technical experience where money and cash is given to a suspected criminal to use that proceed of crime to do case with govt. smh

The SC has stated that where national security is at stake, humanright takes the back seat. FG will not release that money and car to him to sell the car and cash out no matter what the judge thinks. It is proceed of crime like this that give the nation serious security problems.

National security as determined by who? If one dunce holding power in Buhari's cabal decides that it is in the national security interest for him to repossess your wife and ravage her as he pleases, I hope you would be patriotic enough to understand, for the public good?

Some of you are retardded. You just use blanket terms to justify nonsense. National security with no fixed meaning and safeguards against arbitrariness or abuse of power and yet you would talk nonsense.

Ylink4sure:
I have been telling Obidients that we are looking forward to a good performance in the South for Peter Obi as a vote for him is a plus for Tinubu,now PDP has realised this!

Read below what Dino Melaye just admitted:

https://www.nairaland.com/7419619/dino-melaye-peter-obi-cant

Below is a little excerpt:

“By January, it will go down more, because people will realize that it is going to be a wasted vote, people will realize that he (Peter Obi) cannot become president, people will realize that voting for Peter is voting for Tinubu, so that is why I’m having a clarion call on Peter Obi, gentleman, progressive minded, sound, to in the interest of this country for his tomorrow, he should give his today and come back home to support his elder brother and mentor,” he said.

According to Melaye, Obi has no national spread to emerge as President of Nigeria in 2023.

The Atiku campaign spokesperson urged Obi to return to the PDP"

Let me give you a little analysis here;

In 2019,Peter Obi was the VP candidate to Atiku. The bulk of votes that Atiku has been getting since he's been trying to rule Nigeria has been from the south, majorly SE and SS votes plus votes of SE and SS folks in SW, majorly from Lagos.Atiku has always lost in the North,he's lost to both a Southerner (Jonathan) and Northerners (Yaradua, Buhari). He has always relied on southern votes.

Virtually all folks that are called Obidients today voted for PDP (Atiku) in 2019! You can try to confirm this,in fact in 2015,they voted PDP too.Many of them have been voting PDP since 1999!

Peter Obi has taken all that votes from Atiku! Those who would have voted Atiku are now with Peter Obi! Imagine if Peter Obi had not decamped, virtually all the Obidients will be campaigning for Atiku now! So,it's a split vote between Atiku and Obi,as Atiku will still get some marginal votes.

In 2015&2019,SE&SS voted PDP,But Buhari Still won with the votes he got majorly from the SW in fact,Atiku won in southern Nigeria in 2019 but still lost the election. So, Tinubu does not need SE and SS votes just like Buhari but interestingly,he will get more votes from the south than Buhari! He'll win overwhelmingly in the SW unlike Buhari. He'll get more votes in SS than Buhari,so he won't need as many votes in the North like Buhari,so what Atiku will get in the North will not hinder him.

What Peter Obi will get in the South will be a waste as he won't win a single Northern state! Can you tell me one Local Government that Peter Obi will in Kano,Sokoto, Bauchi,Adamawa,Yobe,Katsina,Niger states etc, mention one local Government you think he'll win in all these voter-heavy States!

So,if Peter Obi's combination with Atiku in 2019 cannot defeat APC,so how will they in different parties win the election? Imagine if Atiku and Peter Obi have combined together again? Atiku would have won this time around no doubt. Peter Obi has destroyed Atiku's chances!
And Tinubu is the beneficiary. Even in the North,SE&SS folks living there who would have voted PDP if Obi was with PDP will now vote for LP instead of Atiku!

Peter Obi has absolutely no chance of Winning,none at all! He can't get even get the constitutional 25% votes in 16 states. In SW,Peter Obi will perform well in Lagos! You see Osun,Oyo,Ekiti,Ondo states,he'll not get more than 15%."

So why didn't your Atiku strive to retain Peter Obi as his running mate from the beginning? He didn't consider him important enough, right?

I doubt Peter would have branched out on his own if Atiku held him right from the beginning to repeat the 2019 ticket.... So whose fault is that? Certainly not Obi's fault. He is within his rights to have an ambition and to try his luck. Don't blame him for Atiku's woes.

Frankly I don't really understand the basis for this persecution. Because the man hasn't held any executive position so to speak. Did he inflate any contracts? Did he receive bribes to approve any bill or influence any MDA budget? Which economic and financial crime specifically did he commit.... That is different from what other senators are committing?

Look at Dino Melaye for instance. He certainly seems richer and lives a more flamboyant and ostentatious lifestyle.. His automobile collection alone is in the billions of Naira. We know he was in the House of Reps and later in the Senate, and that's about it. Why isn't he in the EFCC limelight?

I just prefer more specific charges to be brought upon people rather than this senseless and ridiculous, blanket nebulous 'money laundering' charges that they throw at anyone they like in the absence of any concrete proof of guilt. You can't tell someone to come and explain how he acquired A or B

It is your duty to investigate and ascertain that he committed this or that specific crime and that his acquisitions are proceeds of that particular crime. That's how the law works in civilised countries.
