Why are some you such stubborn and myopic dunderheads, plus simpletons, who cannot accommodate opposite views in your head even if only for the sake of what is called process of elimination?

The guys is simply saying Obi cannot win and that, realisitically, only Tinubu or Atiku can.

Why not then try and approach both candidates to know their plans in the spirit of the idea that a polity that makes no demand of leaders gets nothing from them? Instead you are insulting OP ungraciously for his commonsensical take on the matter of 2023.

I remember shouting during #EndSARS for youths to take advantage of the mood then to march on the national assembly and make demands for transformational changes like State Policing, restructuring, true fiscal federalism etc.

Instead the singular and self-obstructive focus was on the abolishment of SARs that any wise man knows an unrepentant government can still introduce covertly under another name and in a different uniform.

Fundamental demands that can lead to fundamental changes were abandoned for egotistic pursuit. A golden olportunity was missed and Nigeria remains fcked currently.

In the end I musy ask why you people deal in absolutism and fundamentalism alone in Nigeria like bloody terrorists ? No flexibility or expansive forecasting in your thinking at all.

Facts is that even Buhari could have delivered more if Nigerians know how to engage him to do so instead of thinking a single individual can do it all.

The misguided and absolute hope being placed on the shoulders of Obi, as if he is a messiah, is patently delusional to begin with considering pragmatism tells us he will lose and lose woefully.

You can commit to voting Obi but it would not kill members of a wise electorate to engage Atiku and Tinubu, most likely to become President, to find out their plans for them.

When you come to community roads Anambra dey try. I can't lie about that. But they were not done during Obi's tenure. It was Obiano that did that road quite recently. Go and check.

The person that posted the old picture to paint Obi bad is mad. I don't support Obi neither do I like mudslinging. It's too childish and unpolitical.

osinbanjoisaliar:
I dey give you fact. SW go vote Tinubu massively. Even CAN president and yoruba pastors go vote am wella even if him VP na resurrected shekau

osinbanjoisaliar:
OP, you dey on wrong trajectory. Even if dem carry Tinubu for stretcher on election day, the SW go still vote am wella.

HeavenVGate:
You're very stupid for sending him any money in the first place. I know believe that we still have more more mumu in this forum. If someone can come here to beg for money, you should know he/she really never need any help. Only God know that stupid woman gave birth to a brainless like you. Idot!

Who are the all you listed.
Those that can not win their polling booth talkmore of state. Try de get sense even if your brain is dead or simply shut you Igbotic mouth from wetin no concern u.

PDP already declared that the over 20 years your shameless tribe slave their soul away to serve it isn't enough to earn you it presidential ticket n you need another 8 years after Atiku yet you ain't worried about that. You are busy jumping about early morning like a damage soul working hard to mirror the grotesque of your wretchedness unto others.

An unknown beautiful lady with three heads has stormed the internet and has caused a commotion.

Instead of going the ordinary, she stormed the internet with her three heads with beaming smiles on all her faces.

She has the remaining two heads on her shoulders and she went to the salon to braid a beautiful hairstyle on those three heads.

Though social media users find it weird with her nature, she was extremely happy with herself and was flaunting them all on her social media handles.

Your only hope for your preferred candidate to win election is rigging and dependence on the multitude of young people you guys refused to educate in the north. But even those ones you believe can't think for themselves, whom you think can only see within the scope of religion and tribe will shock you on election day to your dismay.

Rubbish. Can you come and campaign for your candidate in the midst of enlightened people when Peter Obi dey ballot?

You no dey shame frigga? Tuee.

I been think say you be correct guy sef. I no know say tribe don blind your eyes. I am a better man that you are because I see beyond tribe and religion. I have voted for a hausa fulani muslim, I have voted for a yoruba christian, and i have voted for an Ijaw and I did it all with my full chest. Meanwhile you cannot vote for the most credible candidate in the coming elections because he is igbo.

You are a shame. Your education is a waste.

But it isn't too late to redeem yourself. Better become Obi-dient before you become Obi-literated.

fuke:
I've read how angry some people are about Tinubu's recent statements, particularly his one in Ogun and his claim that Buhari should repay him for his support in 2015.

And I wonder what people expect.

Life is an abstract, and politics is an abstract even more so. What you see on the surface does not tell the entire story. Many things happen in politics that many of us are unaware of. Furthermore, Tinubu is a game master who must have a reason to say whatever he says.

We must also understand that Tinubu did not travel to Abeokuta to give an impromptu speech. Whatever he said there had to be approved by his team of advisers and assistants, who are top professionals in journalism, public relations, politics, phycology, and other related fields.

Asiwaju is beating a kole ya, koya drum. Allow it to burst if it is going to burst.

Consider the case of Ogun. Both Osinbajo and Abiodun are not on his side, and if the convention goes to delegates, Ogun will not give Tinubu a vote, as anyone can see. So why is Tinubu refusing to take his pound of flesh now? You still want him to beg them when he knows exactly where they belong.

Abiodun was not in the APC political equation in 2019 when Tinubu used his influence to enthrone him, and Asiwaju spoke publicly for the first time about how he recommended Osinbajo as VP. If he doesn't call Abiodun "eleyi" right now, when will he? To wait until he has been politically buried. They are both jerks, and they should be told so emphatically.

Many of us are unaware that, despite what appears to be a restriction of trade in contract law, when people are helped to political positions, they make gentleman agreements to pay back. I am confident that Buhari and Yemi Osinbajo made such concessions to Tinubu back in 2015. It is only fair that he asks them to remember the promise they made.

Asiwaju is not frivolous, we must admit, and he does not speak in any case. This is election season, and he needs to speak up.

He has not previously said anything negative about the president, and all he asks is that the president be nice to him in the same way that he has been nice to him. Omobokiri stated that Tinubu should have waited for Buhari to cheat him before reacting.

Who does that? I laugh. To wait until his head is severed before complaining. Outside of Tinubu, it is clear that Buhari and the cabal have a different game plan; otherwise, why are they constantly changing the goal post? What do Daura, Buhari's uncle, and Jonathan have in common? Why are they meeting if not to thwart Tinubu's plan? Jonathan withdrew when he realized he would be defeated in any election against Tinubu.

They truncated the statutory delegate arrangement, and when they realized that even with one delegate from a state, Asiwaju would win, they were talking about anointing somebody besides him, and you people want him to still be playing the choir boy?

They have gathered the wood to roast Tinubu, and what is left is to strike the match. You want the man to lie flat on the wood without a fight?

You think Tinubu is so daft not to know what Buharis intention is? He is not as daft as to not have a mole in the presidency. And he must have sent emissaries to the president on this and when he realized Buhari was not going to bulge, he had to let them know he had some political muscles.

He has to speak out and he is doing so, even if he does not become president, and it would be on record that he has fought a good fight. They have already made up their mind, and the only way to change it is for them to know that some people could spoil the soup for them. The only way for them to know is to tell them.

If they all agree on a consensus, so be it, but if there is just one dissent, let them vote. And if Buhari could use his influence to defeat Tinubu, so be it too. That is the only way to have peace in APC, and unfortunately, some people are praying fervently for peace to elude them.

Please does anyone have any idea how much muyi line charges from Benin to warri? And which of their parks?

marsman:
She is never going to give reno a reply. The only major winning peter will get during the process of these political activities, is the one he had at the labour party convention.
GCFR is a crown that can not fit Peter Obi's head in 8 years to come.

shortIGBOman:
Na you sabi. But all we know is that, a dead Yahaya Bello is better than Peter Obi

shortIGBOman:
We will rather vote Yahaya Bello, than any IGBO Man.
