Irrelevancies.

This name sounds like it's always arrested for this crime, abi where i hear the name?

Stories that touch.

It's interesting that most people here put Umaru Yar'Adua in the mix as one of the best Nigerian leaders. Yet he was sick. Which shows again that it doesn't take Olympic athlete strength to rule or lead well. We should stop making silly non issues about the health of the candidate(Tinubu in question) but look critically that more important issues.

The lamentations of Peter Obi. The guy no dey tire to dey lament ni. He went all over the world to lament about Nigeria. When Buhari went outside Nigeria to talk bad about Nigeria, we didn't like it, but Obi's ipobic fans who have gone everywhere about Nigeria being a zoo can of course see no wrong in Obi.

bamiworld:
You know nothing about pyrate so dont even mention this would impair your cgpa because na even cgpa dem dey use join am so know this n know truth because if you are not first student you cant join

Okay wise one.

Stop wasting your life without Christ the crucified. He died for you also.

SmartPolician:
There are no truths or lies here. Peter Obi is not sharing long life and prosperity in that town hall meeting. He just wants to tell them his plans for the country and take their questions.

If you like, you pay the fee and attend.

If you don't like, don't attend.

It's totally optional.

No presidential candidate can singlehandedly finance his campaigns, not even billionaire Donald Trump.

Labour Party needs money to finance their campaigns in Nigeria because they are competing against men who have a lot of money to throw around.

BTW, Obi is also a billionaire. He's probably richer than Trump. Trump that lives on debts and cunning rich man loopholes. Obi and his clan are made for life just like the other contestants.

Lol, the smooth criminal. i hope it's clear by the day that Obi is no different from the average Nigerian politician.
The money is never for Obu, how can it be? It's always for the organizers, or his daughter, or his family's company. How can it ever be for the smooth contestant.

i don't understand this, why are people lying to themselves like this? What is massive or wow about the people in the video or pictures? These people are really not serious.

Jflex07:
like you father

We all know Obi the public office holder lying his way around. No one cares that much about our fathers as they are not contesting. Remember your dad's wise words and stop acting fatherless.

The smooth criminal

“Critical to all of these, we are looking for a president that has the understanding of the complexity of what is wrong with Nigeria. It is not just about people just aspiring without an understanding of the issues.


“My argument is that anybody who aspires to rule Nigeria and we have the opportunity to, we (Nigerians) must redesign the template of confrontation and you (presidential candidate) must be able to confront Nigerians and answer their questions.

“I am not and won’t be surprised if the candidates are moving up and down and convincing us by taking minimalist positions and telling us these and that are what they are going to do.

“I won’t also be surprised if the next president of Nigeria tells us he would tackle insecurity, increase power generation, and what have you.

“The critical question is that aspiring leaders must be subjected to a litmus test by the people. The people must ask questions like since you (presidential candidate) said you want to deal with insecurity, can we get a sense of how you want to do it and achieve success? Can you show us from your background how you will be able to do this?

Kai, this talk really hit Obi for head like Oraimo cable, i come dey feel pity for the guy.

VERDA:
Oga stop defending nonsense...he clearly said we inherited speaking in tongues from the Bible, everybody knows speaking in tongues is the spiritual gift and not the normal language.

Always trying to form smart instead of just keeping quiet when your oga messes up.

If you are a Christian and typed that nonsense you typed up there, you a disgrace to Christendom.

i don't exactly get your problem. Is speaking in tongues not from the Bible or you just like to argue?

Ibechris2:
U are still confused and thinking at the same time.

Confused about what?

What again, was speaking in tongues not from the Bible? He was talking about diversity of tongues and our diversity/differences as Nigerians. Shettima is not a Christian so i might not really blame him if he doesn't readily understand. It is the nominal Christians that boku for Nigeria i can blame.

Lol, dey let politicians deceive you. Obi had no "structure" as at the time he was accused of lacking "structure". That has since changed since it was turned into a religion matter and pastors started making gaffes about it. The social media followers of that movement have been making the noise you refer to. It's still not grassroot but more significant than the start as people are desperate for a third force of some kind against PDP and APC.
All that doesn't change the fact that Obi is not different from the others though. Let's see how it goes when campaigns begin proper sha.

mysticwarrior:
please read my post carefully again and again.

i don't need to. Even Bible that gives eternal life, i know read am carefully again and again to see the common. Same thing for school, so wetin be my palaver with NL post to dey read am again and again?

mysticwarrior:
The Devil's rebellion as we all know was a very great sin against God's divine supreme leadership.

But my question is why was the devil and his agents not cast into the lake of fire immediately after the rebellion?

Why was he cast down to the earth?
Why was man created to live in the same earth where the devil and his agents roams?

The devil was on earth before man, what are you talking about?

CSTRR:
If he was a failure, he wouldn't stand a chance.

Even if igbos voted for him because he is Igbo, they have earned the right.
They have voted for others over the years, and deserve to vote for themselves for once.

Nobody sane will begrudge them that m

Ironically, Peter Obi himself is not running on ethnic sentiments unlike the emi lokan of yorubaland, who lacks the competence and character to be president.

You've said exactly what i am saying. What's the difference between Obi/igbos have earned the right and emi lokan?

HappyPagan:
Oh.. I didn't know Adam came from heaven. The self-delusion that you have all wisdom... Chop your L-Shaddai till you poof.

Another big facepalm. i say from the time of Adam to the time Jesus the Christ came to Earth. He said He was coming since the time of Adam, He's got all of eternity.

voiceoftruthNG:
To be honest, Obi is evasive to so many questions. He may not be superlative, but what choice do we have. In all honesty, his performance is just average

Like i keep saying, he's just the usual Nigerian politician.

Stanislause94:
so lagosians didn’t complain of Tinubu?

i replied your half baked talk that "go to Anambra and talk about Peter Obi and see how even the common man will heap praises on him," i showed you it's not totally true.

CSTRR:
Bring out okorocha or ikpeazu and see if igbos will support them.

Why support sure failures. You support Obi because you THINK he has a chance as an Igbo man, not because of his past performance.

a4cube:
Peter Obi is available for live interview from anybody not minding your state, tribe or religion. Jgaban is not available for live interview even if the interviewer is Remi Tinubu.

If that is not a red flag for you am sorry Tinubu is better handling you.

��

Did you have any flag when Buhari was granting interviews to everyone and talking everywhere in 2014/2015? Performance no be by interview. We all know the performance of Obi in his 8 years as governor.

HappyPagan:
Yanshpalm for you Imagee. From sense to you how long?

i asked you a valid question, chop your L in peace muskee. We have the mind of Him in whom is all wisdom.

HappyPagan:
Ah, this man.... You have spent less than a 100 years on earth..... How you take know? 4000 years from Heaven to Earth...

Facepalm for you muskee. From Adam to Jesus is how long?

Stanislause94:
Government should be about the masses and not about the people in government. All the money being generated from what Tinubu created what has been done with it? Why is Lagos ranked the second worst liveable city in the world? Life in Lagos is something else. He created this and that only to loot, go to Anambra and talk about Peter Obi and see how even the common man will heap praises on him, will the same be said of Tinubu in Lagos? Good governance is meant to benefit the common man, how has Tinubu done that in Lagos?
And let me remind that Peter Obi achieved all that with an Igr that can’t be compared to that of Lagos.
You’re talking about the work of local government chairman, the ones that loot the money meant for development, local government has only increased looting in Nigeria and nothing else

But we saw how Anambra people complained about Obi here on NL, what are you saying again?

LordReed:
My time on earth will be enough for me, thanks but no thanks. LoLz.

i wish so too for you, only if wishes were horses.

udeh3:
Please, also include the fact that Obi is the only presidential aspirant who isn't collecting pension after becoming a governor

How is that an achievement or how does that solve Nigeria's problems. Let's stop thinking short. These contestants are billionaires, stop letting them play you like tennis.

Stanislause94:
the IGR he improved by increasing tax? Ask civil servants in Lagos how much of their salary is being deducted as tax.
Obiano increased tax rate of government workers hence the increase in IGR. Government should be about the masses and not about the people in government. All the money being generated from what Tinubu created what has been done with it? Why is Lagos ranked the second worst liveable city in the world? Life in Lagos is something else. He created this and that only to loot, go to Anambra and talk about Peter Obi and see how even the common man will heap praises on him, will the same be said of Tinubu in Lagos?

If you watched Obi's interview in the OP, you will have heard him talk about his plan of multiple tax. You think Obi will suddenly get to power and give you shishi?
