ValarDoharis:
Lets see how the best will improve your standard of living

He did it before and I believe he will perform excellent as president.

My standard of living is wonderful. I can always afford my desire.

ValarDoharis:
The point is we're all in this together! If you think that because you support Tinubu then you'll have it better then you're ignorant!

Nigerians went for the best candidate. They would have done the same if obi was better.

Ofunaofu:
He is a proud Biafran


Are you a proud Nigerian at the moment whose current president have become an international embarrassment

Then he should stop putting his mouth in Nigerian issues.

ValarDoharis:
Election is not over and I did not lose. Temporarily, Nigeria lost because we all patronize same markets. There's nothing the so-called winner buy cheaper! Use your head!

Again stop being emotional. Obi has the worst credentials and precedent among the top 4 candidates.

Tell me what his achievement is in Anambra that transcend beyond.

ValarDoharis:
Again, you're not mature. Focus on things that affects you and stop joking around for things that you have no control over. You cannot determine who will be president, not even a thousand of you

Rest ogbeni and stop being emotional. Election is over and u lost.

ValarDoharis:
If you're mature, you will know that $1=#1090 and inflation rate is 25.6%. This should be your worries and not bragging rights of who's president!

I don't reply biafrans.

Nobody will trust them with power.

PDP used them for 16 yrs and never for once consider them for power.

Jackson ude the tribalist.

Fake news fake news fake news fake news fake news.

Can't these people survive without drugs.

mokwechineme:
u still believe or made to believe that the #75billion he left while leaving office amidst record-breaking axhievements are fairy tales

Stop the propaganda obi never left 75b it was all a ruse.

DamnnNiggarr:
Peter Obi

This guy should stop lying.

Those people identify their self as IPOB members.

Happy birthday first lady.

See them ohh. Hypocrite.

Obasanjo did the right thing.

Fayose for use baba do punching bag that day.

Wetin all these Yoruba boys dey gain from all dis nonsense.

Irony1:
Do you know that the deaths of Balewa and Akintola were celebrated in the Western Region more than other regions? Do you know that Wole Soyinka and several Yoruba lecturers sent a petition to Ironsi urging Ironsi not to execute the coup plotters that they are heroes. Up till today there has been no evidence of the songs that they claimed igbos sang to celebrate that coup. Also note again the phrase igbo domination was used by northern civil servants vecause they knew that with the unitary decree in a balanced competitive environment they cannot compete against their counterparts in the North particularly igbos because the civil service was 60% igbos at that time. Bros take it easy when you want to lie. Thank God for social media so that all these lies are brought to light and shown as lies that they are

Bro always argue with fact not emotion.

Chinua Achebe the erudite novelist tried to change the narrative of the January 15, 1966 Coup in his book There Was A Country to portray his ethnic group as the victim, but this has been debunked: “Igbo in the North were widely taunting their hosts on the loss of their leaders.

Celestine Ukwu, a popular Igbo musician, released songs titled Ewu Ne Ba Akwa (Goats Are Crying) and others celebrating “Igbo power”, the “January Victory.” Posters, stickers, postcards, cartoons displaying the murdered Sardauna begging Major Nzeogwu at the gates of heaven or Balewa burning outright in pits of hell or Nzeogwu standing St. George-like on Sardauna, the defeated dragon, began to show up across Northern towns and cities.

These provocations were so pervasive that they warranted the promulgation of Decree 44 of 1966 banning them”. Even Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe noted these atrocities in his The Origins of the Civil War: “Some Ibo elements, who were domiciled in Northern Nigeria taunted northerners by defaming their leaders through means of records or songs or pictures.


They also published pamphlets and postcards, which displayed a peculiar representation of certain northerners, living or dead, in a manner likely to provoke disaffection.”

These images and songs eventually led to the so-called pogroms/ethnic-cleansing/genocide, not the coup.

tishbite42:
No be only Azikiwe, na Nnamdi Kanu
Shamelessness is a virtue

Na ur people no get shame. Drug dealers tribe and baby factory.

tishbite42:
Yoruba man, who imprisoned Awolowo?!
Slave!

Azikwe and balewa. Igbo man.

tishbite42:
Balewa, Bello and Akintola imprisoned him
Not Igbos
Go and fight your slave masters

Nzeogwu made several broadcast.

Where did he mentioned Awolowo will be released.

That was the lie sold to ademoyega by Nzeogwu and ifejuna for him to be part of the coup.

The real mastermind was Ironsi.

Irony1:
In what way did igbos authorize Ifeajuna to carry out the coup? This is how how guys just go about manufacturing lies. But let me warn you ethnic baiting is a criminal offence. The guy who threatened to kills igbos that was picked up in Oshogbo will be child's play compared to what will happen to you if you continue in this your unfortunate mission.

But balewa,akintola and sardunna killing were celebrated in the north and south east by the igbos.

Or have the forgotten the phrases " Igbo domination of Nigeria" which lead to Igbo massacre in the north.

Obi na ur head dey swing toward insanity!Fool.

Cocaine trafficking tribe calling out someone.

Shame no dey catch una. Spit.

ekineme:
Election has come and gone, But what beats my imagination is how every dick and Tom must find a way to mention Obi name, in whatsoever discussion, Before he/she can drive home his point.
Obi said he will dismantle the corruption and all hell let loose.

Can a known thief dismantle corruption

Professor Charles Soludo had barely finished his interview with Channels Television when the media thugs and supporters of Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, descended on the Anambra State Governor with characteristic bile. What vitriol Obi's social media gangs spared the Governor was what their dark minds did not conjure up.




Mr Obi's rampaging supporters could not live with the indictment that it did not make sense to save when a State lacked critical infrastructure and people were coping with hunger and poor healthcare. And it grated their ears that the value of the controversial investment in a brewery had drastically depreciated.



Obi, who had lately metamorphosed into a candidate of regional and generational anger, was bound to contend with the consequences of his serial lies some time. Mr Obi had the ambition to be a politician of distinction; the model citizen with superior moral and political records. A tall dream.


Perhaps, he actually tried to walk the talk. But who is free of human frailties? Rather, Mr Obi thought himself smart, crafty and always some steps ahead of his peers. He had made an impression. He could therefore fill in the gaps with some fiction, lies and distortions. With his the boy - is - good image and media appeal, it would be a hell of a time for anybody trying to deconstruct him.



In the instant case, Obi provoked the reaction of Soludo and others with continued lies about his handover package in 2014. Whereas he handed over N44b in cash, savings and investment and debt of over N127b, he deceives the public with the figure of N75b. See Vanguard newspaper of November 15, 2015 for the Obiano administration's repudiation of N75b handover. Part of the wrongful and inadmissible entries of the phantom N75b assets are these old investments that predated Obi's government by decades. Emenite Industries, Enugu, is one instance. N1.4b was invested in Intafact Beverages but recorded as N3.5b. Donor agency counterpart funds were included as investment! Same for N2.2b agriculture loans given to farmers! All these were part of the assets inherited by the next government! If the announcement on this flawed documents had been made just once, the errors would easily be passed over as an oversight. But Obi and his propaganda team have persisted in publicizing the disinformation, thereby underlining the deliberateness of their action.



On the brewery investment, it's not a scandal for Obi and his media mob that Anambra State money was ploughed into a business in which their hero is a part - owner. On top of that, Obi's propaganda organs periodically told the world that it invested 20m dollars. Anambra State Commissioner of Finance, Ifeatu Onejeme was forced to issue a statement clarifying that the true equity investment was 12m dollars. Obi and his riot squad would not apologize for their misconduct. Rather, his propagandists abused the Commissioner as they have abused Professor Soludo for speaking up.



Dame Virgy Etiaba was to be punished for her perceived closeness to the impeachment actors of 2006. She was put on media trial for squandering N17b in the three months she acted as Governor. It eventually turned out that the State's account balance at the time Etiaba took over was about N8b.



All in the bid to be seen as a super achiever, Obi has without sting of conscience been saying that he neither borrowed as Governor nor left debts behind for his successor. Is there no limit to duplicity?



Mercifully, perceptive Nigerians have begun to see through the posturing. Farooq Kperogi wrote thus in Tribune of October 20, 2022. "He (Obi)

lies a lot—like other politicians. He claims he never borrowed as a governor and that he left a surplus when he left office as a governor. Records at the Debt Management Office don’t support this. Anambra’s External Debt was $15 million by December 2007. At the time Obi left office in June 2014, the state’s external debt climbed up to an astronomical $41 million. That’s a 173 percent jump!"



It's also a similar case with the noise of not owing anybody while handing over in 2014. Local government staff pension was owed, ABS pension was owed, Water Corporation salaries were owed. Contractors were owed.



So resolute and so cunning has Obi been in this project of self glorification that the Obiano administration spent valuable time correcting the distortions his predecessor dropped around at every opportunity.



And there are many other pontifications like having only one wristwatch, two pairs of shoes and not using bullet - proof vehicles.



In the face of Obi's wilful determination to misrepresent facts, it would have been irresponsible of Soludo to allow the former Governor get away with his falsification of Anambra's public records. Free flow of verified information is a basic requirement for good governance and progressive society.



If the exposure of Mr Obi's lies has hurt his presidential ambition, he has only himself to blame. He should leave Soludo alone and deal with his penchant for playing to the gallery.

Hmmm

We need another Igbo coup in Nigeria.

LegendHero:
The same lunatics that are saying the appeal court is late in releasing judgement and stopping them from filing their case in Supreme Court are now crying that Supreme Court is acting too fast.

If same Supreme Court says they will start later, these same people will raise another alarm that they are trying to stall the case.

At this juncture, anyone taking these guys serious is just wasting his time.

No difference btw old and young among them, they all reason like goat.
