At this point, it seems deliberate. This is a playbook reason for doing something. The government may introduce something that majority agree to because of the numerous national grid collapses.

Nigerians like looking for tribe and religion ahead of competence.

Brendaniel:
So are you saying Buhari was better than Jonathan ?

Or are you saying Tinubu was better than Obi?

Please answer the 2 questions and don't skip any...

i have said it several times on this platform.
Buhari was better than the spineless, wasteful and clueless GEJ. BTW, everyone supported GEJ during his acting term and first term.
Tinubu was, is and will be better than fraudulent Obi.

Why drag, you should carry him. This is Africa's richest man, show some respect.

This money is not up to ransom money. Be a better competitor guys.

Not allow ke? Wetin dey happen gangan

Brendaniel:
So are you saying you only support candidates you feel can win election ?

Is that why you supported Tinubu?

i don't even support candidates in the sense. But on a discussion forum like NL, i can discuss who will win and who may be the better candidate among the options. Politics is more than emotions or feel, it was clear that the election was between PDP and APC in 2023. Of the four known candidates, Tinubu was and is the obvious best, in terms of past reports, preparation and audacity. If a better candidate comes up, maybe i will talk about it also. Again, that's different from maybe such person will win or not.

Just for example, if some credible pastor said he wanted to vie for 2027 presidency on some new party or platform, i would likely support him as the best candidate but i would clearly tell you for free that he's not going to win. It's politics, it's about numbers.

Brendaniel:
So was Peter Obi a major contender in 2023 ?

No, no serious person expected him to win. He was just a spoiler for PDP and a social media influencer.

Democracy bro, demo.

Brendaniel:
But you will list Olu Falae as major contender even when his party held no seats when he contested... Was Buhari also a major contender before 2015?

Please be reasonable. 1999 elections was virtually between two parties, PDP and AD-APP. Falae pulled over 11million votes and was second.
2003, Buhari was second with over 12million votes so yes, he was the only major contender. Ojukwu was an expected distant 3rd with about 1million votes. i assume you were either not born or a kid then, this one you're asking if GMB was a major contender in elections. Like in the US elections, there are two major parties/contenders. There are others you might not know, nobody really expects them to win but they also have their hundreds of thousands of votes and support. However they are not MAJOR contenders.
In 2007, Buhari again came 2nd while Atiku who broke away from PDP and joined AD/ACN was 3rd.
In 2011, GMB was again 2nd and ACN 3rd. If you remember or read, GMB contested all these results to supreme court for rigging and irregularities.
For 2015 however, 2nd, 3rd and 4th came together as APC to defeat PDP. i don't expect that i have to be teaching you all these but well.

Brendaniel:
Ojukwu was not a major contender?

Okadigbo was not a major contender?

Obi was not a major contender ?

That's how you guys lie anyhow...

You seem not to understand the meaning of the adjective "major". Ojukwu was not a major contender, he lost to Olusegun Obasanjo, who had significant support in the southeast region in 2003. Nobody knew APGA, how many states did APGA control out of 36 even till date? We've only had two or three major parties in Nigeria, PDP, the evolutions of APC(ANPP and AD) and the rest. It's laughable that you put up Okadigbo that contested as RUNNING MATE to Buhari in the same year 2003. If anything at all, there's likely a split of votes between Ojukwu, Okadigbo and was it Nwobodo or so. All in all, they were not major contenders when you talk about OBJ and GMB at that time. It's like in football, saying some Nigerian player was a major contender for footballer of the year during the Messi-Ronaldo years/era. There was none; maybe today we may have some. Obi is a mediocre fraud, i cannot support him. He only gullibly worked for Tinubu in the last elections.

Trump and beating women.

Deal with your loss, your client was beaten silly. Same way they complained about Jega. Everyone that does not agree with your cuckoo narrative is wrong, comedians.

Brendaniel:
Have you ever supported an Igbo man for president before?

There's never been any major igbo contender since 1999 and i don't support candidates based on tribe, i simply pick the best (IMHO) among the main options.

Don't loud it, Nigerians don't want to hear positive things.

Brendaniel:
That's because people like you have showm over and over that all you people care about is tribal and/or religious dominance not about the development and progress of Nigeria...

They are not people like me, meditate on that. i don't think like you, they are evidently people like you, thinking about tribe and religion. You are fixated and obviously paralyzed on a particular tribe and religion being in power, look in the mirror. i have shown support for different tribes and religions, you cannot.

Brendaniel:
All the places he mentioned have one thing in common, Christianity as the major practice in those regions, but you Tinubu supporters will never see that way because evil and injustice is what you guys love, when I say you are like him is not because he must support Tinubu but because you be people behave alike, you love injustice and evil...

I keep asking what exactly do you people want to achieve with all these evil you people are doing with Tinubu?

Are you okay at all? Are there no muslims from these places you decided to get stuck on? Are there no christians from other places? Why is your mind so wired on inanities like religion and tribe in politics and you miraculously accuse me of it? i have never thought this way and still find it ridiculous with you pointing it out. You are the one thinking tribe and religion, not me. Look in the mirror and stop being unfortunate.

Why do they keep inviting people to TV to talk without intelligence? Why?

Brendaniel:
The post was made for Christians and Igbos, not for Atiku, while your person there admitted that Tinubu has destroyed the unity of Nigeria but yet Obi is your problem in unity, you see how you guys reason, no wonder the country is the way it is today...

Please use your brain, it's insulting when you refuse to use it. i don't have any person in your post and your post doesn't say anything about Christians or christianity, neither can you force your attachments on me. waspaping or whatever his name is is a popular PDP and Atiku supporter on social media. Deal with issues and not inanities.
You can't gaslight a person who supported and still supports a Fulani man (Buhari) and who never supported and doesn't support a Fulani man (Atiku) with tribalism. The same person now takes another person, from another tribe and supports a Yoruba man (Tinubu) and you still accuse him of tribe. If you are so foolish, don't force your foolishness on me, it will not rub on.

Great, we all asked for it. Please give them national honours and scholarships abroad. Remi should take them as her children, it's good optics, and the North will remember.

Brendaniel:
Read the comments below, isn't it obvious you are one of them...

Atiku and the vice president are both from the North East. Atiku is not from Plateau or Kaduna the last i checked. Obilamba on the other hand is a failed divisive fraud. Open your skull and let it sink in that people are not necessarily like you who wallow in self and tribal pity and gaslighting.

Exceed15:
Did u follow story? They are on watch list.. different from hungry protesters fighting as a result of bad governance

i can't follow such stories. These guys are on their way to Aso Rock and scholarships abroad, that's how we want it in Nigeria.

Nigerian stars. We indeed get what we deserve.

Brendaniel:
someone who supported Buhari for 8 years and praised him for the 8 years just to make Tinubu president only to turn around and say he didn't do well, does such a person look like someone who knows what is reasonable and not reasonable?

You guys keep giving me reasons why Nigeria should divide into different countries...

Tinubu is not the major problem, Tinubu is only a product of the problem from people like you and that of the one in the picture below...

And I noticed there are many of your type from your region, so even if Tinubu is out of office, what about the numerous people who reason like you guys from your region, I will still have to contend with such characters...


There is no need, just have your country with your type of thinking...

Sorry to burst your bubble, i have still not read something reasonable from you.
BTW, i will still support a Buhari ahead of Atiku and Obi combo tomorrow. Doesn't mean that i will not say if he does well or not. i don't support him as a god but as a public servant. You fail to get the simple point that one does not have to be a sycophant or tribal wailer to make a political choice.

She can ask, why not? All the SEast governors, some APC also asked. Even you can ask God to forgive satan, it's freedom of speech.

Exceed15:
They had better deal with them fiercely without mercy before they grow wings

They may be minors you know.

Brendaniel:
Doesn't change the fact you've also read a lot of reasonable things like the one I showed you...

Sorry to burst your bubble, i have not read something reasonable from you.

Brendaniel:
I know you've read it so I'm not bothered...

i have read a lot of nonsense in life brother.

Brendaniel:
Read this and stop deceiving yourself and trying to deceive others...

Facts are deception but i should read your post instead, what a comic relief.

Yankee101:
Social media run presidency
You don’t know the right thing to do until there’s an outcry?

It's not the right thing to do, simply his prerogative. Wail on.

Lamidi will be somewhere wishing he was with them boys.

From what am seeing. What is supper about the highway?

Nothing supper about it, it's not food.
