We all love Obi as a person and as presidential candidate but you cannot be calling my people bad names abusing our leaders and expect us to support your brother.
We know what Obi can do if voted in as Nigerians president .
But if he becomes president the Igbos will believe it's only their vote that bring him in.
Social media is the major set back for Obis ambition through the arrogant behaviour of the Igbos
Let's see how far Igbos can go without other tribes in Nigeria

olisaEze:
The events in Libya happened so long ago even the Libyans have gotten over it. But our president says we, wen the Arab Spring no even concern, have not till now! Insecurity in the NE of Nigeria has been ongoing for over two decades now. But our Bubu after $1B, says Russia-Ukraine war of last night, in another continent is the problem. And Nigerians called GEJ clueless....

TakeNigeriaBack:
That means no Biafra! Because, we must enjoy the gas together o! Just as we enjoyed the crude oil together. And the church says Amen!

AnyanwuSilas:
It has not started being used,

DenreleDave:
To be honest wth you.. Obi is not bright... I watched the video, he was too dul mehn.

I am an obidients but I really regret supporting this dull man.. Clearly he has deceived us and we are stuck with him now

toneroforever:
Sorry,a first class eloquent thief is of no use to us. U can keep him in Lagos.

SmartPolician:
Separatist groups and criminal elements in the South East have armed a large number of unemployed boys who go about threatening prospective voters and destroying INEC offices.

If things continue like this, it will lead to unprecedented voter apathy during presidential election in the region, and Peter Obi will unfortunately bear the brunt.

IGBOSON1:
We’re now getting to the underlying reason for all the opposition, bile and hate shown towards a Peter Obi presidency! You’re either aware of your bigotry and hatred towards the Igbo and wear it like a badge of honour, or it’s subconscious….subliminal, and you actually think you’re making ‘fair minded and dispassionate’ arguments against his bid!

You unwittingly expose your innate hatred and intolerance for people of other ethnicities when you have a problem with their accent and term it ‘horrible’….and term their voice ‘disgusting’ as a result!

Pray, what accent did you want Obi to use before….and why would you rule him out because of his Igbo accent? Or you want him to speak with fake/borrowed phonetics!? China has the 3rd largest economy in the world….have you ever heard their rulers speak english, and have you noticed they speak with a strong Han-Chinese accent?

Dude, if you’re so consumed with hate to the point of not wanting a Nigerian with an authentic Nigerian accent to be president, then the problem obviously is from your end….not Peter Obi, and you should get off your ass and join efforts to see Ndigbo are separated from your ‘one Nigeria’ where everyone speaks ‘phoneh’ and anyone with a Igbo accent is forbidden to be president! Anything other than this makes you a deceptive, hypocritical, bigoted dingbat who speaks from both sides of the mouth!

Openair:
Boss, so far, I haven't found a debatable comment from any of them. It's just funny assumptions that holds no ground.

BluntTheApostle:
Horrible accent. Disgusting voice.


He was even looking down, probably into a book.


This is the fellow they say is eloquent.


Tufiakwa!!!

Alliswell248:

Kewtt:
Why would someone be reading his pledge to Nigeria?

Can't he talk from his heart if he's sincere?

madapcmod:
OMG! See statistics and how a presidential speech ought to be.

Nigeria should not make this mistake of missing Obi this February as President

Tinubuadvocate:
Nonsense.

itsRhamzy:
Coincidentally I visited one of my relatives who happens to reside at a stone throw from where the unfortunate incident happened and all I can say is this story here is not entirely true.

The men came in their vehicles and sped past at around 1am past our house cos we reside close to the road. I wasn't asleep then and I thought it's just normal town resident driving. Shortly after that I heard something that sounded like gunshots and assumed it was just mere knockouts but I wasn't convinced with the sounds I heard.

About some 2hr later my relative's spouse received a call informing him of the terrible incident and death of the Father. All I can say is this is just a clear case of assassination and not related to banditry at all. Bandits usually always come in ransacking the town killing randomly but the men came, and personally targeted the Father leaving every other thing untouched. His cars, boys quarters etc remained untouched. but his colleague was shot in the hand tho. He was lucky enough to escape.

AkpaMgbor:
Same old trick that you have used on the efulefu Igbo politicians. When the time comes you will remember soludo oversaw the naira moving from 90 naira to 120 naira against the dollar , you will remember that he advocated for the release of nnamdi kanu, you will remember that there was insecurity in Anambra during his tenure as governor, you will remember that his father fought on the biafran side of the civil war. All these will then 'disqualify' him in the eyes of the hypocritical urchins. Rinse and repeat....

Ikemba007:
Pls stop this clueless conspiracy theory. The staff issuing the PVCs, are they Yorubas? Are there no Igbos there? Why make it a tribal affair?

heykims:
I'm not surprised, that region always has the mentality that someone is cheating them, playing the victim's card. They suffer persecutory delusion.
As if problem with PCV collection doesn't cross nationwide...

I wanted to upload two YouTube clips of Port Harcourt and Abakaliki so we could make a comparative analysis of the two cities to see what the Ebonyi state gov't can improve on to make Abakaliki look even better. I'm impressed with how Wike has improved the aesthetis, ambience, cleanliness, greenery and order of Port Harcourt, and there's a lot the state gov'ts of Ebonyi, Enugu, Anambra, Imo and Abia can borrow from Rivers state to improve on our major cities in the south-east.

Rivers state receives much more by way of federal allocation, 13% derivation and IGR than any state in the south-east, so it would be unfair to expect major cities in the south-east to look as good as Port Harcourt. However, there are little things we could do to improve on our cities and make them look almost as good (and in the case of Owerri and Enugu....even as good) as Port Harcourt.

In Port Harcourt, notice how there's hardly any unsightly bare/muddy open spaces by the road sides. For the most part, it's either sidewalks (with underground drainage) and carpet grass. This makes the street look neat and clean, and limits the dust/mud/sediment that we normally see on roads in our cities in the south-east as well as limits the amount of dust in the atmosphere. Also, notice the roads are swept, marked and (for the most part) have working traffic lights. There's also little roadside clutter and unsightly signages as commercial activities are better organised. These are all achieved by having a working and committed state and local gov't. You normally see the no-nonsense governor going about and reading the riot act where necessary so everyone knows nonsense wouldn't be tolerated. You hardly see the governors of Enugu, Imo and Abia going about and keeping everyone on their toes...only the governors of Anambra and Ebonyi are doing well in this regard.

Notice there's a planned and concerted efforts at tree planting, and not the half-assed attempt we see in our cities in the south-east. With Abakaliki, one can notice Umahi likes to concrete over everywhere and doesn't seem to care much about organised tree planting (like we see done in Abuja) or covering open grounds on the sides of the road with well manicured carpet grass. There's been some attempt at tree palnting in Abakaliki, but as i said, it's more of a half-hearted attempt and not uniform.

I remember when Amaechi was governor of Rivers state, there was a gov't policy that perimiter walls of individual and commercial properties should be at a certain distance from the roads, and this led to the demolition of the walls of many properties in Port harcourt as greedy landlords had built their perimeter walls almost on top of the roads in the city. This is another problem we have with our cities in the south-east...walls of properties being built as close to the roads as possible, and the unwillingness of our gov'ts to use the Amaechi approach so space can be created for sidewalks and some greenery. However, cities like Enugu, Owerri, Aba and Onitsha have planned parts that conform with this rule of setting perimeter walls of properties at some distance away from the roads.

Finally, like i acknowledged before, south-east states are not as wealthy as Rivers state, but if we're going to use localised labour and localised contractors to do some of our roads, then we need to get them to improve on their finishing. Ebonyi state gov't has tried in the use of localised labour for the construction of its major and inner-city roads, but you can see they don't compare with the roads JB built in and around Port Harcourt city. State gov'ts can get some experienced civil engineers from these multi-national civil engineering coys to impact their knowledge on our own homegrown engineers so the finishing of their jobs can be just as good as the ones done by foreigners.

https://www.solutionreporters.com/2023/01/14/soludo-calls-for-unconditional-release-of-nnamdi-kanu-offers-to-be-his-surety/

Am not happy about this news. Soludo should leave Nnamdi kanu matter and face governance. Let the afaraukwu Terrorist suffer well for dss prison.

You have not clear the Criminals killing in your state and you to be surtey for a Terrorist that is responsible for loss of lives and destruction in the South East.

Other South East governors are not calling for Kanu release, why soludo dey carry the matter for head ?

He should not make Anambra state a point of attack by ipob terrorists to negotiate and pressure for Kanu release.

Let Abia state Politicians push for Kanu release. Senator OUK is doing that. He is in APC and want to be surtey for Nnamdi kanu. That better for him.

Let Ikpeazu, Orji Uzor kalu, TA Orji and Enyinnaya abaribe push for Kanu release. Let them use Abia state to negotiate for Kanu release.

gidgiddy:
The military messed up with this their show of total shame. Bringing a girl from God knows where to come and give fake confession. The girl even claimed to be from Igboeze, but because she is not Igbo, she couldnt even say Igbo-Eze in the right intonation

Then they rushed to upload the video and pictures on the internet forgetting the 82 divisions logo on the girls hat as well as the fact that the Igboeze and Eze-mmuo tbe girl said were in the wrong intonation that betrayed the fact the girl is not Igbo. How can someone claim to be from Igboeze but does not know how to say Igboeze?

gidgiddy:
This is an embarrassing show of shame for the Nigerian Army

They were in such a hurry to frame and implicate IPOB that they even forgot that the Army hat they put on the girl had 82 divisions logo on it
