PDP is a party of fools. We realized that the moment they failed to expel Wike. What would Obi want in a party where Wike would be used by Tinubu to undermine him?

If PDP has sensible people, they wouldn't have allowed Atiku share dollars for candidacy. But we all know how arrogant the party was. It should just be buried.

He also wants to change the dynamics of Nigerian politics from being a money-driven politics to an issue-based politics where contestants are assessed mostly based on their leadership plan and antecedents and not based on how much money they can dish out to political jobbers and wolves to win both party primaries and main election.

Apt.

Where is Benin City? Went there last month, spent hours looking for 30K a night hotel to no avail...Ended up paying 40K for one useless makeshift hotel...That place na hell!

You're obviously lying. There's no place in Nigeria you can't get a 30k/night hotel.

With independence, the Hutus consolidated power and facilitated widespread discrimination against Tutsi, excluding Tutsis from prominent careers and implementing education quotas. A Hutu Power ideology emerged, grounded in the Hamitic Hypothesis, in which Tutsi were recognized as foreigners to Rwanda, rather than an indigenous ethnic group. This racist ideology, initially propagated by Germany and later Belgium during colonization, argued Tutsis were inferior to the Hutu majority. This theory would be used to incite the genocide in 1994. In the months and weeks before the genocide began, Hutu radicals began compiling lists of potential Tutsi targets and moderate Hutus. In addition, the Hutu dominated government began stockpiling weapons, including machetes. These machetes and other rudimentary weapons would be the tools that carried out the genocide.

How different is this from what Igbo see in Nigeria, discriminVtion whose origin is the British colonialists?

The reason why he has that cult like political stardom in Nigeria is that since the 1993 Abiola campaign when bashorun are ona kakanfo laid bare his solutions of transformation of the country which Nigerians aligned with him; no politician had come close to outlining how their vision and policy can fix the problems of the country till Obi came in 2023 and swept an entire country off its feet with his vision and practical implementation of same to restore Nigeria to prosperity. We looked at his plan , believed in it to transform Nigeria because we do not have any other country than the one they are destroying today, so we became obidient to that vision and goal to restore Nigeria to prosperity and safe country

80% of educated Nigerians believe in Obi. This is why he swept most of the urban cities with enlightened people. However, the system is skewed against him because politicians do not care about the interest of the masses but who would reward them individually. Just like Buhari joined APC in their lies, Obi would have to lie to them to gain their support. We saw what Wike is doing? That's vintage politician character. Unfortunately or fortunately, Obi isn't made of the crude stuff.

It's obvious no enemy successfully hides from Israel.

Israel killed top Iranian general despite all precautions, daughter says

Israel managed to find and kill a top Revolutionary Guards commander despite his forswearing of communication methods that aided Israeli assassinations before, his daughter revealed, amid allegations that Israel used WhatsApp to track down its targets.

“My father’s location changed every few hours. He carried no smart devices or phones. Security protocols were followed, yet during his time commanding the war headquarters, he was repeatedly targeted for assassination by Israel,” Mahdieh Shadmani, daughter of Ali Shadmani, wrote on Instagram on Friday.

Ali Shadmani, who had been appointed commander of Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, was killed just four days after assuming the post. His predecessor, Gholam Ali Rashid, had been killed in an Israeli strike.

Mahdieh Shadmani added that her father was not in uniform at the time of his assassination and was tracked and killed while wearing “plain, dusty clothes without military insignia.”

She made the remarks in reaction to allegations that Israel used WhatsApp messaging app to track down Iranian military commanders.

During the twelve-day war, Iranian state media urged citizens to delete WhatsApp from their smartphones, alleging that the app gathered information it passed to Israel.

WhatsApp denied the accusation and warned that such claims could be used as a pretext to restrict access to the service for users in need of information inside Iran.

Israel killed a number of top commanders from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps during the war.

Among the confirmed deaths were Armed Forces Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri, Revolutionary Guards chief Hossein Salami, IRGC Aerospace Force Commander Amir Ali Hajizadeh and IRGC Deputy for Operations Mehdi Rabbani.

Beginning in 1994 and lasting only 100 days, the Rwandan Genocide is one of the most notorious modern genocides. During this 100 day period between April and July 1994, nearly one million ethnic Tutsi and moderate Hutu were killed as the international community and UN peacekeepers stood by.

To understand how such a tragic event could happen, the Rwandan Genocide must first be seen as the product of Belgian colonialism. It was during colonial rule that Rwanda’s ethnic groups: Hutu, Tutsi, and Twa became racialized. It was the rigidification of these identities and their relationship with political power that would lay the foundation for genocidal violence. When Rwanda gained independence in 1962, the ethnic majority, Hutus, were left in power. Hutu rule resulted in widespread discrimination against Tutsi, laying the groundwork for the 1994 genocide.

Looking at the bolded, you would ask yourself why the UN peacekeepers looked on during the murders of Tutsis. Would they hve done that if it was in Europe or America or if those being killed were white people?

Why did the Belgians intentionally give power to the Hutus instead of the more intelligent Tutsis who by the way were the traditionally recognized precolonial rulers of Rwanda?

Why won't Africans demand that Africa be recreated and recalibrated based on traditional tribal lines and alliances?

301 topics at least today and you can be sure it'll get to 3000 before the end of the day

Who wins? Though I think it's too early to presume the party would be smart enough to pick Obi.

You guys do not know what's going on. Just like the Yoruba government, the day JAMB lost the last vestiges of integrity was when a Yoruba Muslim was appointed a registrar. This same JAMB has been run by northerners for decades without ethnic bias but just look whhow a Yoruba man with their avid hatred for Igbo tries very hard to victimize Igbo children year in year out.

When he wept due to glitch, did you for once imagine he was weeping for his incompetence? No...he wept because his plan to fail Igbo children was busted. And his dream of having one Ademola or Adekunle as top scorer scuttled. Until you guys understand that this is not a country and call for its dissolutions, native Africans in this British contraption will continue moving on circles.

These same people only remember south when it's election time but their odium is far more than what a northern Muslim can conceive.

Ibadanfarmroad:
Is it the same tinubu that Jonathan and his wife has pledged to support in 2027?

Una carry another man matter for head like gala.
I am from edo, voted LP last election but i am definitely not doing the same in 2027.

Edo no be Lagos talk less Ibadan

All southerners are not children of Jonathan and his wife na

More character dey. So why support Tinubu? What are his achievements

Have you ever wondered why the Canadian troops in Kigali under the UN mandate did nothing while those Tutsis were being murdered? Black skins? Have you also wondered why Igbo civilians that knew nothing about politics were murdered? Is there a correlation between being African and smart and being hated by Africans and Caucasians?

If you think we should support the Yoruba president to stop the north grabbing power, let us know.

If you think he deserves the Jonathan treatment, let us know your reason too.

Let's start by crowdfunding for the best candidate to support him win 2027 presidential election so that the country stops moving in circles. Just think about it, the last person that seemed to have similitude of a sound mind was Goodluck Jonathan despite being ineffective. Maybe crowdfunding for Peter Obi is the next reasonable thing though I don't even see the man using the money to bribe delegates so it's still useless.

I'll support you if they don't reward the muumuu man

Brenbentondiaz:
The new igbo fantasy has been introduced. Time for you lot to start jubilating again until reality hits.

Yeah that's the song, but what's obvious is that even with his rigging tactic Tinubu can't win. Especially if Atiku and Obi are on the same team.

kunle4toyeyaho:
He can never join ADC. Shettima himself is a potential bidder for APC ticket after Tinubu's tenure

Nah, you're lying. No strong politician is a potential bidder after Tinubu. Tinubu supports only puppets he can control like he did in Lagos and Shetti is no puppet.

lebienconnu:
Given the principle of 8 by 8, albeit informal, he has nothing to gain by joining ADC. Power removes in the south till 2031 and ADC in going Articulate and will not win. So, why teaming up with a DOA kwalishun. Remain loyal and be rewarded in the future.

My twenty kobo.

He's too smart to be fooled by Tinubu boys. He has read the handwriting on the wall already and is like if I go Tinubu goes too. Smart guy.

givedemwotowoto:
There will be many political realignments, but if Shettima joins ADC, it will strengthen ADC’s grip in the NE and wipe out any advantage APC will have with Kwankwaso in Kano.

Yes, being an inside man, Tinubu would miss a big ally.

It's hard to say but based on the principles of induction, it is not a far-fetched proposition. I like the way the man has started talking ....

Numbers don't lie. Researching the Tutsi story ...

T8ksy:
Mods, can you please explain to me why you keep yanking my posts off this platform?

In my last post on this thread, I called out the Op who claimed Obi is the first southerner to be loved by all nigerians from all regions and i asked him, what about Mko? For this, you placed a ban on my moniker. Why

Cos you actually said nothing. Abiola merely won an election, not that he was loved by Nigerians. Just like Obasanjo, Yaradua, Jonathan and even Tinubu that was rigged in. Love is organic and we all saw how the northerners loved Buhari despite evidence of his incompetence. Same with Peter Obi. That's why no amount of propaganda has affected his standing before Nigerians. For instance, a state like Edo would rather boycott an election than miss Obi. The same with many in FCT and Lagos. Garrit?

IGBOPROMISE1:
Alaigbo has adequate access to the Atlantic via the river that passes Obuaku and empties into the Niger Delta! When the time comes it will be dredged and widened accordingly! A ship using the Obuaku seaport would pass Opobo before getting to the Atlantic Ocean.

I think your problem is that you’ve been listening to the wrong narrative as told by vile Igbo-haters who do not wish us well! Unless of course you’re one of them?🙂

Here is map of the Igbo country even before Anyone knew that Nigeria would be a country. Nigeria simply carved out coastal Igbo clans and placed them with non-Igbos to dilute the Igbo influence, so you people should stop believing the lie that Igbo needs to dredge anything to gain access to the sea.

The largest Igbo town before the British arrived West Africa was Aboh. Today Aboh is in Delta state and largely unknown to most Igbos. Many other Igbo towns are in the so called SS because of the fear of resurgence of Igbo nationalism to crumble Nigeria. It is natural to lose territories when you lose war, but calamitous to believe the enemy's lie at the same time.

The Russians have taken back Crimea and Dumbass region because they did not forget their people there. The Germans have reunited East Germany with the West. The Igbo country must not lose focus of its identity.

Mbanda:
There is nothing tinibu and his hellish supporters cannot do to tarnish Obi's image in other, to make way for tinibu. That campus news you just talked about, is a handy work of APC just to discredit Obi.

But don't worry we are here for una.

What they do not understand is that Peter Obi represents hope to the masses. Something that no other politician in this generation portends. And that there is nothing they can do to change the minds of people. Jonathan that they pulled down with lies and propaganda is not in the league of Peter Obi. Instead of de-marketing Peter Obi, their lies would rather draw more people to like him. I know a girl that has been an Atiku supporter c texting me to say she just became Obidient simply because she saw reasons when people argued about Obi. Even many of these cornfuullsed will become Obidient before the next election despite the slavedriver's 30k inducement they're getting.

From politicians to the government, legislators and the judiciary, there seems not to be a moment without the name of Obi on the lips of Nigerians since before the 2023 presidential election. Not even the second-placed Atiku Abubakar or the INEC-declared Tinubu comes close to Obi as a phenomenon. Do you know why? The reason is that Peter Obi is one of those rare politicians that people believe in. Rare because such men come once in aa generation. As far as Nigeria is concerned, just three men have had the privilege of having genuine organic following. These men are:

1) Aminu Kano, the enigmatic Hausa leader who should have been the first northern premier had the British not favored and helped rig in Ahmadu Bello, who was not even loved by the northern Talakawa. Maybe because Kano was not Fulani.

2) Mohammadu Buhari . the erstwhile president with his cult-like northern following

3) Peter Obi. What's even more surprising is that Obi is a southerner and the first southerner to be loved by Nigerians from all regions. Do you now see why even the government cannot stop talking about him?

Abacha was like this na...How far?
