If you have a political ideology, you dont have to change party to make impact on candidate in another party. All you need to do is tell your supporters that you are adopting that other candidate of the other party for the position and supporters should vote him. Chikenan.

Political prostitutes have no ideology anyway. Its just about religious/ethnic bias and stomach infrastructure.

The oracle has spoken.... but the truth is bitter

So you are taking Gov Shariah serious? These days you dont just accept comments from anybody no matter how obviously appealing. Most political comments are laced with ethnic and religious interests. Be wise.

FP oh. Let’s get this fraud called PO busted!!!

If you create an imaginary fraud case against Peter Obi, you are fraudulent yourself.

A 70 year old BILLIONAIRE can not be that old, haggard, and shaky shaky like a pauper.

Let some people continue to deceive him that he is physically fit..Him body go tell am soon...

Nigeria is tired of trouble has changed name o, from frying pan to fire...Tufiakwa..

How do we contact you?

Is it electrical?

God forbid that a looter will rule Nigeria again.

Tufiakwa!

Splitmind:
I am totally serious, we should stop complaining and understand that your lives now are much better than under PDP.

Can you imagine the insecurity, corruption and poverty that would have happened if Jonathan won the election?

President Buhari came and changed the story!

I am shocked to hear this... I dont even know what to say now..

Splitmind:
The story I heard is that Nigerians have become so ungrateful for all the good works the president has done and take any chance to insult him online.

It is not good, this country has gotten much better than before and now is the time to be patriotic.

Hope you are joking?

When PEOPLE POWER is activated, STRUCTURES crumble. It happened in South Africa. It happened in Pakistan. It happened in France. It happened in Ukraine.

Volodomyr Zelensky, a lawyer and comedian, was a political outsider before he became Ukrainian president. His political party, Servant of the People, named after a TV series in which he played the role of Ukrainian President, was formed in 2018 with no structures anywhere except on social media where he was considered the frontrunner in opinion polls after he declared his intention to run for President in December 2018.

In 2019, he contested against political juggernaut, incumbent President Petro Poroshenko, and won with 73.23 percent. Not only that, but his party also won a landslide victory in the snap legislative election held shortly after his inauguration as president. What was his trump card? He positioned himself as an anti-establishment and anti-corruption figure, a hot selling point for a people already sick and tired of corruption in high places.

Does that ring a bell? Nobody gave Zelensky, a comedian, a chance against the onslaught of Russia’s hard nut former KGB boss Vladimir Putin. He has led his people in the battle against Putin from the front, unlike some Generals, who would be bunker-bound at the threat of rag tag bandits.
Imran Khan, the renowned Pakistani cricket star had no significant political structure when he was voted Prime Minister in 2018. He rode to power on the populist approach that emphasizes the idea of juxtaposing the people against the elite.

Emmanuel Macron was a banker and civil servant before he became President. His only political experience was as a senior adviser to President Francois Hollande and later as Minister of the Economy, Industry and Digital Affairs between 2014 and 2016. In April 2016, he formed the En Marchel centrist political movement.

By May 2017, he contested and was elected President, beating serial presidential contestant and seasoned politician, Marine Le Pen, with 66.1 percent of the vote. He was only 39 years old, which made him the youngest President in the history of France.

A month later, in the June 2017 French legislative election, Macron’s party, renamed La République En Marche (LREM), secured a majority in the National Assembly. Those legislators belonged to the traditional parties with decades of structure. They saw the need to realign with progressive forces and did the needful. That is how rational human beings behave.

Now, the response of the naysayers to the above is quite predictable. They are going to say, ‘Nigeria is different!’. Exactly! Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world, courtesy the same grandfathers that will not allow their children and grandchildren with modern ideas to lead.

Those basing their 2023 permutations on stereotypical variables should hear this: What happened in Soweto in June 1976 happened at the Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos, Nigeria, in October 2020. Nigerian youths dared security forces and spoke in one voice, amplified by the social media, to say enough is enough to the mindless killing of youths on flimsy grounds.

#ENDSars was born! It reverberated around the world. It rekindled separatist agitations. It may not have achieved its purpose for various reasons. But it would be foolhardy to presume that #ENDSars is dead. We can already see its reincarnation in the OBIdient Movement.

The choice for the electorate in 2023 is not between Atiku, Tinubu and Obi. It is between continuing to live in bondage and making a fresh start. It is between disgruntled Nigerians and the hegemonic predators. It is between purveyors of the oppressive status quo and hitherto apathetic youths and students bent on taking the country back from the leaders of yesterday and today, using the people’s money to pave the way for them and their children and grandchildren to remain the leaders of tomorrow.

For those saying social media cannot elect a President, they are very correct. But at the same time, they are missing the point. It’s the people that will elect a President using social media to get people to register and change the perception of registered voters. Is that not happening already? That you are in PDP or APC does not mean you must vote for those parties. Party membership cards are not demanded at polling booths before the casting of ballots. Buhari rode partly on social media hype as MR INTEGRITY to Aso Rock in 2015. It was on social media the hooey that NEPA bill is better than PhD was sold and bought. Millions of votes cast for Buhari in 2015 by registered voters were not for the APC. They were for Buhari based on the perception created that he was the long-awaited messiah. They were protest votes against PDP and GEJ and their perceived 16 wasted years and cluelessness.

The unprecedented interest in who becomes Nigeria’s next President is symbolised by the OBIdient Movement. Whether it succeeds or fails in 2023 is not the issue. For sure, Nigeria is entering a new era of political activism. If Obi fails in 2023, it is Nigeria that will fail – again! It is an unfathomable irony that Nigerians agree that there is a dire need for a redirection of the country but want to leave the reins in the hands of morally deficient operators who contributed actively to steering it into the present morass.

So, if you want Nigeria to win, help build the superstructure needed for the victory. Talk to your friends, neighbours and family members. Let them know the absurdity in taking money from politicians to make their children and grandchildren slaves to the politicians’ children and grandchildren. Nigeria is made up of families, not political structures!

NOwazobia:
it is nothing new... It is an inter candidacy war every election year...

I banter yours, you banter mine... Even the greatest deed of good can be use in bantering.

That doesn't makes the news false or true... Copied online picture to represent stories is not enough to discredit a story, this is my stand...

You have to look for something else... Your so called wisdom is denting with your sense of reasoning... Over protectiveness like this type don't win candidates an election...

Check yourself, you are being overwhelm with emotions...

Some of you guys falling over yourself just to defend Obi (even at instances that doesn't worth it) will collect money to vote another candidate on that fateful day.

Bolded is it. You are now talking. Therefore, you must not allow your candidate to be rubbished by hungry youths.

If Festus Keyamo SAN, can be defending his party despite the illegal actions of his party, I should be proud to defend my prudent candidate: https://www.nairaland.com/7185229/keyamo-reacts-reports-apc-buying

NOwazobia:
There is nothing on the comments, except the usual supporters and non supporters fight...


You are the one who is taking the whole thing out of context and this is because you are exacting too much emotions.

Observe that the lady said FOOD, but OP used puff puff to depict the food, and you dont gerrittt? Sharpen your brain, my brother. The intention of the post is hidden from the naive. ;DHungry youths are every where o.

The narrator would have used the original pix of the puff puff to be served for us to believe her.

NOwazobia:
That is no news but a narration of her experience while using the picture as a placeholder for the puffpuff sharing experience at the meeting...

Though her experience could be true or false but there is nothing wrong in asking her to share the snacks, after all, someone else prepared the event to that stage....

So, you trying to debunk it is unnecessary, worse still, trying to use mere picture (which was obviously placed there for emphasis) to debunk the story is unintelligent of you, except you could tell us the story was copied from another source and the said source was a fictitious story.

What is the difference between a narration and a news? Abeg, educate me.

If You think that as MERE PICTURE, read the comments on the thread. Be wise as a serpent o, because hired hungry youths are on the prowl..

NOwazobia:
Oga! I expect you to be intelligent like who you are supporting but you are proving otherwise...

The headline says "how to make puffpuff" not the story the lady was narrating...

Downloading pictures from the net for emphasis and clarity does not make a news false... People do it daily and you must have done it too...

The story could only be partially false if she copied it and personalized and entirely false if the original source was a made up story (fiction).

More also, irrespective of the genuineness of the story, nothing is wrong in asking her to share the snacks, it is even an advantage to her as it helps propagate her and engineer her popularity among the people of various class in the meeting... Afterall others engineered the meeting to that stage, which is supposed to be the latter part of the meeting.

With all your intelligence, you dont see chosing puff puff to illustrate the event to mean anything? Hmm. Ok. Read the comments on the thread to realign your reasoning.

FamTomx2:
A frustrated yellowbar man he his

Hmm. So, he is the son of shaky shaky daddy.

AnambraPrince:
I said before that Peter Obi is just a political baby that is not street smart at all, otherwise the daft dunce would have known by now that all these merger talks is just a game by the North to ridicule him more. Kwankwaso is just playing him for a fool and he fell for it like a cheap N500 political prostitute.

But it's so funny and we are enjoying every minute of the show. Peter Obi's online bandits supporters should keep entertaining us with their radical foolishness

Same way they were screaming "consexus" candidate before, now it is "merger"

Your choice of ridiculous words to qualify the person of Peter Obi confirms you as an aggrieved indigene of Anambra State who does not like his STINGINESS. ;DKwantinue.

tunjilana:
You no wan serve puff puff but u wan serve as councillor, chairman, special assistant, commissioner, governor etc....u never ready for politics

Dont mind that criminally minded youth. He/she is eyeing political position just to loot like his/her hero.
He/she is hereby noted as one of the enemies of Nigeria. Nonsense youth. .

Pakute:
Supporters of that fraud would come here and preach to us about hunger. Abeg na puff-puff Obi dey chop for hin house? Your brain go reset very soon. Labour people, hungry people.

FAKE NEWS. You have been lied to by your fellow hired youth.

Learn to cross-check information before commenting. Enemies of Nigeria have hired hungry youths to discredit more qualified opponents by posting fake news on social media. Shine your eyes o. Evil men on the prowl!

My dear NLDRS, shine your eyes and sharpen your brains o. Desperate political looters have hired some hungry youths with the sole task of posting FAKE NEWS to discredit more qualified opponents.

Any youth who is not supporting Peter Obi is an enemy of Nigeria.
