deji17: That is why the Obid.ense is cancerous. The people who voted for the party that came first, totalling over 8 million, are they not Nigerians? The party that came third, instead of showing how they came first, went to the tribunal to claim none drug case, some dual citizenship stuff and all kind of frivolous cases. This does not make sense to rational human beings. Yet, you claim you won. Is this not madness?
Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 presidential election, will turn 62 on Wednesday.
The former Anambra State Governor has said he does not intend to celebrate his birthday, but this has not quietened the buzz around him.
Some social media users have dug up a newspaper publication from 2013 claiming Obi was 50 at the time, thus creating the impression that he earlier falsified his age or is doing so now.
The news report was shared on Tuesday by Uche Rochas, a Twitter user, and placed side by side with a screenshot of Obi’s tweet stating he had no intention of celebrating his birthday. Rochas’ tweet ends with “Which one should we believe?”
VERIFICATION: According to Obi’s Wikipedia page, he was born on July 19, 1961, and became governor in 2003 at the age of 42. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Obi#:~:text=On%2017%20March%202014%20Peter,Peoples%20Democratic%20Party%20in%202014.
This would mean that in 2013 he should have been 52, not 50 as the newspaper article claimed, and 62 in 2023 as Obi now says.
FIJ made further checks and found a 2011 article published by All Africa.
The article published on July 20 with the headline ‘Why I’ll Not Celebrate My 50th Birthday — Obi’ credited Obi with speaking with newsmen a day earlier, and saying his birthday did not come up during a meeting with his commissioners.
This story came two years before The Nation’s, and there are no records to show Obi falsified his age or recorded two different birth dates.
FIJ also found a news article by CKN News in 2013 correctly reporting Obi’s age as 52 at the time.
CONCLUSION: The article by The Nation newspaper in 2013 erroneously reported Obi’s birthday as his 50th.
VERDICT: The claim that Obi was 50 in 2013 is false.
IconicR: Please I need someone to clear me on what Obi would have done differently concerning the situation of the country within this short period. A country that has long sunked since the time of Jonathan's administration, the last good/fair government we had was Yaradua and Obasanjo's administration. Jonathan is the architect of the present country we have, Buhari couldn't do any better and Tinubu is just trying to pull us out by the drastic decisions he's taking which has it's negative impact which would only be for a very short time before we start seeing the positive effects of his decisions. Nigerians please be patient, times are really hard but we have to endure so we can achieve permanent and meaningful results. May God ease our affairs and bless each and every one of you. Thank you all, iconicR cares.
Obi said he would put measures in place before removing subsidy,the drug baron rushed to remove it first
LegendHero: I trust Podiumreporters, but I’m waiting on NTA to confirm this news too and it’s gonna be great.
Good that they listen to voice of reasoning. Spending that money on actual commodities to cushion the effect will be a better alternative.
Minimum wage increase still on track. Just hope they speed it up.
To people talking about the increase in petrol price, it hurts truly but that is the meaning of “Subsidy is Gone”. The market force control the price now.
We all condemned previous government for not removing subsidy and now that it is removed, we must face the harsh reality of the decision. FG should now spend that saved money on the Nigerian people so they can at least lift the burden small.
IconicR: They should be ignored. They did more than this and he still won the presidential election. The whole world may condemn someone but the important thing is does God condemn such person? May God ease our affairs and help Mr president to solve the problems of the country
garfield1: Assuming the court orders that 25% in fct is mandatory and that there should be a runoff,it will be between tinubu and the person who came second which is atiku.obi will lose out,he will not partake.so why are obidients painstakingly, mischievously and persistently insisting that 25% is fct is a must? Or is it that they prefer atiku to be president than Tinubu?
pquaver: ThePresident is assumed to be the governor of fct according same section that told u it should be treated as a state and went ahead to spell it cleafor u the president is like its governor, national assembly its legislation and the councils as its local government.. Read and understand.. Obidients na so una wan make Nigeria great? When u cant even read and understand what you are reading..
So if the President is the Governor,how do the President now become their Governor without 25percent of their votes? If you urchinns are not stupid
MissLeslie: Both LP and PDP fail fail to prove how they won the election, they are both looking for a technicality ways of eliminating the winner, non of them is talking about how INEC rig in favour of the winner they are just talking about Double Nomination, certificate that the winner as been using for long, expired citizenship, I think we need to wake up. Anybody that is ready to challenge election matters in court should study Aregbesola and Oyinlola case of 2007-2010. Pure election matters and irregularities plus multiple tumb print.
So who won in the results submitted by LP in court and Inec and Apc was rejecting?
pquaver: Stop writing nonsense.. Does fct have mixture of Nigeria more than lagos or kano, rivers? A candidate is not required to score compulsorily 25% in abuja if he can get it from other states.. The framers of the constitution wanted a spread across states and not to have 1 king of the north like kwankwaso have athe popularity in fct, win only fct and a winner of 31 states won't be declared winner just because of 1 king of the north who decides to lock down abuja.. Ndigbo be careful what u r pushing for oooooo... All the 2 b2 kiosk thinking that is not critical... Tomodont come and shout north is always ruling.. Same thing aguiyi ironsi did to the regions.. Una don dey give aboki election power via fct now.. Very mzyopic in my view ooo
Gpexchange: Just realized I haven't done this record thing before so spent last 2 hours on it chai stress lol...... Started Jan 2022 so 1 year 7 months

The profit is massive,you are reaping the benefits of the many domains you registered now,congrats
alizma: Tribunal will not even do that. Doing that will mean that if a candidate likes, let him win 28 states of the 36, he cannot be declared president if he fails to 25% in Abuja and is only someone with problem upstairs that will say, that is ok by him.
It's not possible for a candidate to win 28 states and not get 25percent in Abuja without rigging.No president before have failed to get 25percent in Abuja
seunmsg: Uncle Akin and his other delusional LP members had over 3 months to prepare their case and 3 solid weeks to present their evidence before the court. Sadly, they woefully to show to the court and indeed the entire world how they won the election. Peter Obi went on National TV to claim that he has evidence showing he won the election and would present it to the court. When it mattered most, he turned around and accused INEC of not giving him the evidence he needed to prove his case. When his attempt to blackmail INEC failed, he concentrated his case on getting Tinubu disqualified.
Whatever the case is, it is too late for Uncle Akin to cry. Peter Obi’s case is closed already and Wole Olanipekun has shredded whatever is left of the petition in his final written address to the court. Bola Tinubu will remain president of Nigeria till 2027 at the first instance.
What is this one saying? The true results have been presented in court which apc and Inec was rejecting,who do you think won in the results,or you want them to present it to the media when it's in court already
seunmsg: This is like thread 1001 on the same subject matter today alone. The headless mob are running riot over the way and manner Wole Olanipekun shredded Obi’s watery petition. This una cry na till 2027 o🤣🤣🤣
You mean by claiming Tinubu got 25percent in Abuja,same Abuja urchinns said doesn't matter
