You people accused him of being a liar but never clearly stated what he lied about.....


You keep excreting claims a d allegedly claims of his supposed lies.... But you get debunked!

You won't give up!

We give you facts about Tinubu and you confirmed them. But instead to look inward, you call everyone speaking up against Tinubu, Igbos. You even deny your own kinsmen and dashed him to the Igbos, simply because he had so much support from the Igbos.

you dey lamba me Abi na politics or farook too dey sniff Tinubu coca one join, which?

Nice2023:
It is indeed a religious war.

In Benue today,43 christians were killed in IDP camps.

Yesterday's alone,about 80 children were kidnapped by bandits.

Same yesterday,kidnappers almost kidnapped my brother in Lokoja.

We are already fighting a religious war right away.

you mean Evans the Christian kidnapper almost killed your Muslim brother cos he's Muslim or Christian ipob killing Dora husband cos he's a Muslim.
Look around you, terrorist have no religion, when you keep tagging every religion to a sect. It gives them the perfevt umbrella to hide.
There's nothing like religious war only pawns allowing themselves to be used which obi failed at doing.

In summary obi looked at everyone including his Obi supporters and said to our face that blue is now black..
What a joke..

Obi’s face-saving litigious bluster against Peoples Gazette

Obi champion election Similarities between Nigerian ethnic 20 Hausa words Tinubu

For at least three reasons, I really wanted to stay away from the hoopla that attended Peoples Gazette’s publication of Peter Obi’s “religious war” (or “Thank you, Daddy”) phone conversation withLiving Faith Church’s Pastor, David Oyedepo.

One, there was nothing in the conversation that was surprising to me. I have repeatedly called attention to the unmistakably Christo-centric tenor of Peter Obi’s campaign, which his deluded defenders disingenuously deny even when undeniably overwhelming evidence unquestionably points to it.

Unlike many people, however, I don’t hold this against Obi. It was his tactical and strategic response to APC’s same-faith ticket and PDP’s nomination of a northern Muslim as its candidate after eight years of a northern Muslim presidency.
In a deeply fractured country like Nigeria, when a competitive electoral contest pits entrenched collective identities against each other, as I’ve pointed out several times, it’s inevitable that political gladiators will deploy religion and ethnicity as tools for mobilisation.

Second, I recognised that Obi’s “religious war” comment to Oyedepo was merely his attempt to cultivate what we call consubstantiality in rhetorical studies, that is, establishing mutual ideals, values, interests, and attitudinal disposition with the person or people you’re speaking to. Every human being seeking to persuade does it.

Oyedepo is a militantly passionate anti-Muslim preacher (who once told congregants to never give alms to any “Malams by the roadside” who beg them “in the name of Allah”), so the best stratagem to achieve identification with such a person is to invoke the specter of a “religious war” with Muslims. And it was very effective. “I believe that. I believe that. I believe that,” Oyedepo said in response to Ob’s claim that the 2023 presidential election was a “religious war.”
Although Obi deployed anti-Anglican bigotry (and often framed Chris Ngige as a “Yoruba man” in order to delegitimize him, which Okey Ndibe condemned in his columns) to gain and retain power when he was governor of Anambra State, I have not seen any credible evidence of Islamophobia against him.

Significantly, Obi is Igbo and Oyedepo is Yoruba (in common with Tinubu, Obi’s mortal opponent), so Christianity is the only obvious margin of overlap between their lived experiences. Obi exploited that overlap to establish kinship with Oyedepo, like any politician would do. I don’t have a problem with that.
Finally, I think Southern Nigerian Christian politicians suffer a linguistic disadvantage that their Hausaphone northern Muslim counterparts don’t when it comes to the exploitation of religion for politics. They discuss their strategies of religious mobilisation in English, Nigeria’s national language that most people have access to, but Hausaphone northern politicians discuss theirs in the Hausa language, which isn’t accessible to most people in the South.

Muslim Northern politicians have uttered similar or worse sentiments than Obi’s during political campaigns, but their verbal indiscretions often don’t leak out because of linguistic barriers. On the few occasions that they do (such as when Buhari exhorted Muslims to vote for only Muslim politicians who’re sympathetic to Sharia or when he said the dog and the baboon would be soaked in blood if the 2015 election was rigged), northern defenders muddy the waters by accusing southerners of mistranslation, of literalness, of incompetence in understanding interlingual equivalence between Hausa and English, etc.

So, I was prepared to let this slide until Obi issued a statement calling the leaked telephone conversation “fake”and threatening to “take appropriate legal actions against Peoples Gazette and others” for publishing the tape. (By the way, who are the “others”?)
That statement implies that he will sue the Peoples Gazette for libel. I am convinced that this is mere face-saving litigious bravado that will peter out quietly. In libel law, truth is the most important defense. The tape is NOT fake, so Obi can’t win a case against Peoples Gazette.

First, on April 1st, the Foundation for Investigative Journalism (FIJ) fact-checked the audio tape and found that it is neither AI-generated nor altered by editing. “FIJ subjected the audio to a deepfake test using Deepware, an AI tool used to detect alterations in audios and videos,” the publication wrote. “Deepware’s deepfake detection technology ‘was designed to detect deepfake videos or, simply, any fake content in the areas of visual and audio communication.’”

I also personally used multiple deep fake detection software and found no evidence that the audio was edited or generated by Artificial Intelligence.

Plus, Obi’s presidential campaign spokesperson by the name of Kenneth Okonkwo confirmed the authenticity of the tape and even retorted that, “Honesty is the best policy” when he was unremittingly bullyragged by the headless mob of revoltingly primitive social media rapscallions who call themselves “Obidients.”

Obi’s close personal media aide by the name of Valentine Obienyem also all but confirmed the genuineness of the tape and only added the requisite fib that spokesmen of Nigerian politicians must tell by claiming that “They edited out the Muslim-Muslim ticket that led to the discussion, where Obi said that in a society like ours, religious balancing was a necessary consideration and that their recklessness had made Christians to assume it was a religious war.”
That’s the most persuasive admission yet that the tape is real.Obienyem gave an insider’s confirmation that the conversation did take place. Is he and Okonkwo the “others” that Obi threatened to use alongside Peoples Gazette?

Well, Oyedepo himself hasn’t questioned the veracity of the tape. He only said Obi was one of several politicians who routinely call to seek his blessing and counsel and that he is not political partisan. Maybe, he is also part of the “others” that Obi will sue. He basically confirmed the People’s Gazette’s story.

More than that, though, Peoples Gazette gave Peter Obi and his aides ample pre-publication opportunities to respond to the tape before publishing it. The paper said it gave Obi and his aides 48 hours. They didn’t respond.

The paper reached out to Oyedepo via WhatsApp who asked to be sent the audio file. The paper did. Oyedepo read the WhatsApp message, but never responded 24 hours after the fact, probably because he remembered the conversation but couldn’t defend it with the resources of logic and reason.

So, what will Obi tell the courts if/when he sues People’s Gazette “and others”? If he says the tape is fake and Peoples Gazette insists that it isn’t, the court will call IT experts to authenticate it. The result will embarrass Obi, diminish his credibility irretrievably, and herald the death knell of his budding national political career.

That’s why I think he is merely blustering—or that unscrupulous lawyers want to get his “shishi,” which he doesn’t like giving out to people. In law, if a piece of information causes you to suffer reputational damage or emotional anguish it isn’t libel if it is true. Irreproachable scientific proofs and circumstantial evidence conclusively show that the audio tape is real. Obi has no legal basis to seek redress from the Peoples Gazette.

If Obi had threatened to sue on the basis of the invasion of his privacy, that would have been a different matter altogether. Although Section 37 of the 1999 Constitution provides that, “The privacy of citizens, their homes, correspondence, telephone conversations and telegraphic communications is hereby guaranteed and protected,” there is not a sufficient body of judgements against privacy violations in Nigeria to determine how the courts will rule.

But privacy violation isn’t the basis of his threat because that would confirm that he did utter the words he is disclaiming.The basis for his litigious threat is the claim that “the audio call being circulated is fake” and that “At no time throughout the campaign and now did I ever say, think, or even imply that the 2023 election is, or was a religious war.”

That’s in the realm of libel. In light of watertight evidence that it is he who is lying, not Peoples Gazette, let’s see if he’ll have the courage to follow through with his threat. I am salivating in anticipation.

shege!! Your experience needs to be written in gold.

Obi said he talked to one of the ex US president😁😁😁
Jon zing, they were never mates.

Buhari gave the party away.
If not that victory comes from God that he brought obi and kwankwaso to cancel Atiku vote, Tinubu wouldn't have won.
Buhari should stick to the stigma he created, he wasn't a leader to really admire.

Was it not same person that said she has no business with Nigeria?
Pained political looser.

Deep down, Lampard is that manager every Chelsea fans would love to succeed at the club.

Heathrow44:
See this one, are u sure u re living in nigeria, it seems u re from uganda, even d blind can see that crime and bike crushing gravely reduced even car accidents reduced cos those "mechanical parts" dat make noises are no more driving recklessly

states started this case of bike issues from 2014 or so, did you ask what those guys who were bike men went on to do?

Maryloveth:
See wahala o.
We say we no want to be regarded as northerners, you're still insisting we are one.

We are middle beltans, thank you.

no feel yourself. I'm more north central than you, speak for yourself.
I'm gbagyi from Abuja and my tribe spread across Niger, nasarawa, kogi and abuja. Do the maths again and proper rate yourself.

Thanksful:
If the north allow middle belt to present the next president, fine. If not, middle belt should define their own destiny.

No body come here come be spectator

oga do the maths. The northeast has not produced president yet aside abaca who's from maiduguri but identifies with kano.
The North central had Ibb, Abdul Salam and gowon. They even dominated the senate presidency with saraki and David Mark.
Don't talk about marginalisation politics with North central.
We are one North and that's why we are better together.

If you guys notice, crime rate took a drastic increment when states started Banning Okada.
While the ban is good for the sanity of the road and safety of passengers.
You don't just take a policy that pushes them out of work without real alternatives.

My people @GRVlagos deleted this tweet but thank God I was able to screenshot.
Go to his timeline you won’t see the tweet again!
Man is so loosed. I told you this guys don’t have any leadership traits. I just blame the clowns that takes this fellas serious!
I called the werey…

Ertugrul:
you are very wrong, there is no hegemony in the South, the yorubas are the largest, igbos second, then all other ethnicities are there, there is no discrepancies, the creation of states and collapse of the Igbo led eastern government ended that narrative...
As a middle belt person, you are in the middle of a power tussle, you cannot stand on your own because your region is too diverse to come together, you must lean on any of the power blocs, u must choose the lesser of the evils wisely, if you as a person choose to maintain the status quo, so be it... I'm sure the gbagyi people in nassrawa may have a different opinion, and if the majority is swayed, u have no other option... A new Nigeria will emerge someday, the direction the middle belt tilts towards will determine the fate of a new order

there are gbagyis in Niger and kaduna also.

Ertugrul:
from Abuja, i guess you are gbagyi, while i respect your views, if self preservation is not an issue to you, your kin in other states will want to preserve their identity, and thus will always avail an opportunity to renegotiate the status quo...

you can deceive political minions but not me. The hand stretched forward would only preserve you as per you how much you bring to the table.
I repeat how does being a Northerner hinder me from self presentation. Your trespassing and its for your selfish interest and you know it. Imagine me trying to create an identity disperancies in the race of every region.
You sure know there are many hidden minority tribes associated with your tribe. The south giving me a hand of friendship didn't recognizer their minority and they want to recognise me the new bride?
Common, this narrative is no longer selling again.
The North central is more than OK with identify with the north than any other region.

Ertugrul:
. What are your views regarding your region, I also understand a person from kogi or Benue may have less sympathy to the plight of Nok and other minorities up North..

were northerners and just like every Northerner we face some sense of descrimination and acceptance at some point in time. Even the core northerners do face it. But come to reality, the middle belt have the worst leaders in Nigeria. No single state in the north central has an outstanding governor. The best amongst them are slightly below average.
This has nothing to do with the core North you want us to beleive are our enemy.
Unlike the south, the north don't politicise our plight to see us as brothers.
Bro I'm from abuj and I rep North with my full chest.

Ertugrul:
It is with Joy in my heart as i see the middle belt people of indeginous Northern Nigeria rising up to preserve their identity and breakaway from the domination of you know who...this will signal a new dawn and a change in order if this momentum is to continue, to my dear people of middle belt, ur invaders do not care about your religion as they continue to expand, an alliance with the South is your best bet, we must come together and reshape the Nigerian order... A New Nigeria is Possible with a South/Middle Belt alliance, i do not sincerely believe that The SW will abandon the rest of the south and MB to ally with the other people...
We move

jokers, try another political shipment. Im from the middle belt.

Maryloveth:
BAT went with a Muslim Muslim ticket cos of Muslim votes

Atiku supported killing of Deborah by Muslims cos of Muslim votes

They didn’t call BAT/Atiku Religious bigots

PO had a harmless conversation with Bishop Oyedepo (allegedly) he’s the religious Bigot

Christians wake up
TINUBU IS AN ISLAMIC BIGOT FOR CHOOSING A MUSLIM VP

Nigerians: It’s not a problem

ATIKU IS AN ISLAMIC BIGOT FOR SUPPORTING THE KILLING OF CHRISTIAN

Nigerians: it’s not a problem

Same Nigerians: PETER OBI IS A
CHRISTIAN BIGOT FOR CALLING OYEDEPO

🙄🙄🤦🤦

God punish you all

OK daddy has acknowledged the call as authentic. Acceptance stage 2, we move.

See as he humble. Police go Don treathen am with multiple sentence when him offence no reach.
Na why I dey always insist on court for any police case.
Police brutal pass court, the m go exploit your guilibility to the worse end still punish you on top.

Sis appreciate your cousin oo. People in the UK normally become stingy when they move to the UK. It's not them, it's the system.

No real content or credibility yet she has followers. People can follow rubbish.

Chimok:
As he has gotten what he wanted which will fortunately be withdrawn, he is no longer claiming to be for the people. People have as at today continue to buy cash at exorbitant rates and the situation doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon.

which hole you dey cos last time I checked cash crunch no longer persist. Tinubu won for the masses. I withdraw 5k for 300 in Abuja yesterday.

It's a majority Muslim state. Christians I know would never let Muslims dominate them..
The ruling and opposition are always Muslims.

When we saw that Atiku fake audio, we quickly knew it was fake but you see this obi own, na save face. Even his known influencers couldn't outrightly debunk it as lie rather they were trying to justify it using Tinubu Muslim Muslim Ticket as a yard stick.

This poster must be an agbado supporter for trying to ridicule northerners. The obi we know is the man of the people and the people beleive in their Zaddy not daddy.

Even mumu are not going to buy your save face write up. We heard the audio loud and clear.

If your one of the Obidient this face saving tread is about to deceive.
Common, you can't be this stupid.

N3TRAL:
Before the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise, BMW was my second favourite German machine after Mercedes. I never loved the Audi.

After I watched Christian Grey handle the R8 and the Q7 in Darker and Freed respectively, with Anastasia in the front seat, I started scheming to own an Audi.

Bad news- I'm too poor to own any Audi. However, if I buy one in future (which I hope isn't electric), it would be because of Christian Grey 😂.

BTW, I think Hero Beer is very popular and frequently requested for after Peter Obi's investment in the company was revealed (my observation and opinion). I've seen more people request for it lately last year and this year than ever. The company's revenue will definitely increase.

oga hero beer is cheeper. Low budget Heineken. That's why the patronage is higher.

Which kind low budget April fool Seun do like this?

ChEkWaSIyKe:
If you believe any pictures of Tinubu as recent one, you'll believe anything.

people when beleive jubril from Sudan story dey rate themselves.

Someone should please drop link. All the sites I know are just malfunctioning.
