The straight-forward answer is:
HE WILL KEEP WANDERERING AROUND NIGERIA'S JUNGLE TILL HE GETS BITTEN BY A SNAKE.


A confident and determined Politician does not have to go to many countries to sip from every bottle of wine to find the best - when the same imported bottles of wine can be tasted right in his own country.


Frankly, I don't know if his constant locomotion is deliberate for the Newspapers ONLY or it's just as real as the crisis he's facing politically.


The theater-drama of the Former APGA candidate-turned PDP candidate-turned Labour Candidate-turned ADC candidate- turned NDC candidate, has shown his political score card in advance; he's shown specifically that If he "ever" in his wildest dream becomes the President of Nigeria, he would most definitely "resign" to become the new President of Ghana or Togo.


The candidate in person of Peter Obi, so well polished by short sighted Nigerians is a representation of political instability, fear, poor foundation (sinking sand) and lust.


I don't mean disrespect: but a dog that constantly escapes from his kernel to a neighbors house, has no passion for it's owner.


While party switching is considered strategic and luck-based, it's also considered "stalling" or "regressing". Doing so, makes you start a new journey instead of continuing an existing journey.


What the Peter Obi should embrace in this challenge is the fact that he's a Nigerian, living with Nigerians, doing business with Nigerians and dining with Nigerians. No matter where he runs to in Nigeria, he will deal with Nigerians and the same Nigerian problem he's constantly escaping from.


The wise ones would likely tell him: "You don't have to do it ". But if he must become Presidential candidate next year, those who love him should buy him at least a chain and a padlock - or better still - sedate him.

The FCT results showed the strength of the northerners in Abuja.


It also shows the future strength of the Northerners and general Muslims nationwide in 2027.


Peter Obi won Abuja in 2023 by chance, not by total representation of Abuja people and indigenes.

Wike is not a registered voter but a government official and a chief security officer of the FCT so to say, so the curfew shouldn't affect him.

For as long as he's monitoring the process.

The government should shun them too.

I mentioned earlier my reason for using the "scholar" word to an earlier commenter.

The intention is to differentiate him from other qualities the other candidates possess.


While the word "Scholar" is technically wrong in the context of Peter Obi, it serves it's purpose in describing his well known ability (Saying facts about countries).


The fact he speaks factually, gave me the idea to believe he reads books or news - therefore classifying him book smart.

Artiiclebeast:
Peter Obi book intelligent and a scholar?

Nigerians are truly irredeemably in intellectual chains.

This suggest you agree with me.

Flangelo12:
Oga , leave this matter.

The fact people are cramming words from books - is also a form of intelligence.

In the context of intelligent-leadership which you have framed - application of such knowledge acquired is the true aptitude and intelligence.

If you have wisdom and don't use it - you're passive-intelligent so to say.

But if you have wisdom and use it - you're active-intelligent so to say.

So, you may be right that Peter Obi lacks analytical skills and insight depth - and this reinforces my main argument that he's "Book-smart" and not practical.


Because he can't practicalise what he knows.

WizardOfNG:
I don't agree with you. Anyone can read and then regurgitate what they have read crudely as Obi does. It is called cramming without understanding the issue properly.

Intelligent leadership is about using what you learn, and knowledge you can gather, to produce solutions.

Obi never does that because he is not blessed with an analytically intelligent mind. All he does is merely Parrot what he learns to tell us "they did this in Bangladesh" without ever explaining how what worked in Bangladesh can be adjusted to be a solution for Nigeria.

There is no intellectual depth to Obi. Never has been and never will be.

Just as you are intelligent enough to defame "data boiz" as you call it and defame a current leader - that's how someone who is emotionally-intelligent, will find it mentally challenging to do what you do - simply because they lack insult-intelligence.


So everyone is unique. And at the same time, everyone is similar - as we all use data like "data boiz".


(Letter Delivered).

DatNiggaDaz:


Data boiz are really funny. The realities of Tinubu's "practical intelligence aka cluelessness and inocompetence of a fake certificate holder has been made bare for Nigerians to experience. Data boiz will sit in front of Ameachi's "aptop with pockets half full with corns and start posting nonsense to whitewash a roasted electricity fraud

Thesame way they whitewashed their darling daddy

I'm not supporting criminality.

I'm reporting the savvy nature of Tinubu's ability to read and understand what the people want in the streets.

If Obi doesn't descend to such level, he would be targeting only a niche population.

Justnation:
Suddenly criminality has turned to street currency for you people ?, very very unfortunate.

PETER OBI can never descend to such level. Democracy will certainly serve it's course in this country.

The new knowledge you mentioned: [ "AI, Nuclear technology, intergalactic travel, great Architectural and infrastructural projects, advanced robotics, life-changing ICT solutions and nation-changing leadership"] - are in the higher-intelligence category.

High-intelliigence is feasible in developed countries with the right technology and infrastructure.

Nevertheless, that doesn't diminish mid-level and low-intelligence - as all categories of intelligence are functional in this world.


Without some low-intelligence people in this world, some services will stop.

WizardOfNG:
No one is disputing that but the kind of intelligence that education then shapes to create minds that give us AI, Nuclear technology, intergalactic travel, great Architectural and infrastructural projects, advanced robotics, life-changing ICT solutions and nation-changing leadership is not often found in Alaba traders which is Obi's level if we are being brutally honest.

Just as you are intelligent enough to defame "data boiz" as you call it and defame a current leader - that's how someone who is emotionally-intelligent, will find it mentally challenging to do what you do - simply because they lack insult-intelligence.


So everyone is unique. And at the same time, everyone is similar - as we all use data like "data boiz".

A Petty trader is a third class job everywhere in the world.

You linear thinking sees intelligence from a "middle-class and above" perspective.

In psychology, a person who isn't intelligent enough to read or write and do basic things, is categorised as having "borderline intelligence"


The fact Peter Obi can read, write and do basic things, is enough to prove he is intelligent enough to survive in this world. Unless a psychological report proves this wrong.


If an illiterate you cited, drops out of school to join the petty trading, it means such a person isn't intelligent enough for the classrooms but intelligent enough for petty trading.


All fingers are not equal.

WizardOfNG:
You're joking right? Petty trading and small scale retailing is now "Street Business sense"? It is the lowest rung of the ladder in most developed nation because it is the virtually at the bottom of self-employed endeavours.

I e buy good and sell at higher than purchase price to make a profit. No Rocket Science to it therefore senseless proclaiming those involved in it Rocket scientists.

Illiterate who dropped out of school, because they lacked intellectual capacity to pass exams, become successful petty traders. That should explain issues to you.

To run a retail shop, you must be mentally stable and intelligent enough to do basic calculations no matter how basic.


If you don't have an IQ above 80, you will struggle in a basic retail store.

Flangelo12:
Please, stop it.


Trading is a low barrier industry.

Easier when you have connections to ports authorities, especially when a military dictator gives you Carte Blanche.

Easier when you can support your "trade" as a governor siphoning state monies into your "business" and a bank you control.

It's funny to you because you don't see it that way.

Education is beyond the classrooms - note that.

Flangelo12:
Abeg no make me laugh.

The fact he says things about China, India, US shows he reads these things or facts from books, articles, online content that obviously weren't learnt in a class room.


The fact you acquire knowledge daily, improves your memory and intelligence.


If all he knows now is turning upside down, then it's due to forgetfullness, aging or something else.


But the foundation of knowledge is there.

WizardOfNG:
Bro, na wa for you. Obi is "book intelligent"? I,d like to believe you are talking of another Peter Obi from another universe and not the one Nigerians know very well and understand is 'intellectually challenged '.

https://www.nairaland.com/8616379/obi-low-intelligence-shouldnt-aspire

Yes, you can hail them for their street business sense.

Flangelo12:
Now, we're going to hail every shop owner in Alaba?

He runs a chain of supermarkets and an FMCG Distribution company.

It took some form of intelligence for all that.

Flangelo12:
How can Obi be described as intelligent?

In what context?

I swear if Obi wasn't from the East he would have been long forgotten.

This is likely due aging - not necessarily dullness.

Obiedun:
Journalist: How will you fix the education sector if you become president?

Obi: Thank you very much for that question. Very easy. You see in Bangladesh, a girl can not marry until she is 18.

This is due to his associations and upbringing.

9jatriot:
So Obi reads and he speaks the way he speaks? Then he needs to learn comprehension then and it did not show in his academics? This is even worse

Even a third class businessman can employ a first class holder. This is popularly known in biographies.

Owontime:
OBI is book intelligent witha third class degree?
You must be joking.
Oni is a dunce.

Academic intelligence is the most recognised in Nigeria and some parts of the world.


A footballer without a degree is intelligent regardless his lack of qualification.

seunmsg:
Peter Obi graduated with a third class in philosophy. That is by no means book intelligence. In can bet he applied to study a more academically demanding and prestigious course but couldn't meet the requirement for the course and was then dumped in the philosophy department. Peter Obi and intelligence shouldn't be used in a sentence at all. He's the dumbest public figure in Nigeria's recent history.

Buhari and Tinubu have different intelligence.

Tinubu didn't sink the economy - he sank entitlements and greed.


Tinubu's policies feels "sinking " but it's restrategizing.


When you take malaria tablets when sick, the tablets make you feel more sick at times but it's actually curing you.

Validated:
You mean Bala-Blu-Bulaga is intelligent. Please, start writing your own dictionary.
Someone sank Nigeria economy into 35 years back, and tries to pull it back, you call him intelligent. Even Buhari who people call "dullardeen" is more intelligent than your Bulaba crooner.

The street sense got Tinubu the power - his intellect is now running the economy.


Rome wasn't built in FOUR YEARS.

Amumaigwe:
See how the master-mind who you claim is street smart has successfully masterminded the destruction of the economy by running the entire country street.

At least we know who's got the longest.

DaInferno:
Nigeria the spoil, una dey here the measure diks. 4 wasted years already. which way?

This is an intelligent analysis.

Peter Obi is practical in business - but his practicality in federal politics is limited.

Even in business - he can outsource the street sense that got him where he is today.


So brainstorm to stop having foolish instincts as well.

A4alpha:
F00l!sh analysis but at least truth is coming out gradually even though no one needs your whorthless validation to call black, black or white, white. Hypocrisy of an agbado mentality since you lots thought others are as blank as you are. From your claim that P.O is a third class and now book intelligent just to suite a blank narrative abi?

Can you tell us a single investment owned by your certificate forger drug lord prior to becoming lagos state governor? can you compare P.O with your drug lord in any practical ramification? it's a degrading to the person of P.O to draw comparism between him and agbero chairman and criminal grab it and run away criminally minded man like that.

Every human has got a type of intelligence.

Some are musical, some are artistic, some are logical.

ILoveNG:
How is Peter Obi book intelligent ?

He has never displayed any form of intelligence.
You can call him someone loved by some people for some kind of reasons. But never intelligent.

I'm not hyping Peter Obi - and describing him. Maybe the choice of words I used seem hyping.

Obiedun:
In all honesty, Obi has never shown he is intelligent. Ask him simple question you see him beating about the bush. Can anyone show me any intelligence statement obi has made. An intelligent person does talk at all times. Obi is not intelligent at all. Ask him how he wants to fix a problem, he will begin to mention China, India etc and at the end of the day the statistics he brings out are inaccurate. Please stop hyping him. He is not what you are saying. Your statement is an insult on reasoning.

Scholar is archetypal word for a person who reads. Not necessarily a Ph.d holder in my context.

helinues:
Scholar? Please what's your definition of scholar? Peter Obi as a scholar, as how now

If you say Tinubu uses wealth as a weapon - that is street smart.

Obi is not practical enough to rule Nigeria. He has no street currency.

Justnation:
tinubu has ruined Nigeria totally.

tinubu is only using the wealth of Nigeria as a weapon against the masses, using bribery and intimidations to coerce the governors and fellow politicians to join his terror team of poor government.

PETER OBI is a quinssential leader, when he assumes office you will see the difference between a compassionate and consummate knowledgeable leader and a crafty manipulative pretender.

Peter Obi is book intelligent because he reads books. His academics don't determine his intelligence - but rather how he applies the knowledge.

9jatriot:
Except you have high feever, there is no way in this life you will associate Obi with intelligence not to talk about book intelligence. Person wen de book intelligent go get the kind WAEC result wen he get, go study philosophy and come out with 3rd Class or 2nd Class lower depending on who you ask...

He is neither book nor street intelligent. The only area he seems to be very good is in doing condolences.

If you are talking of book intelligence smart, go and look at Tinubu's Richard Dale;s College transcript, na A and B full am. Also check his CSU testimonial, you go respect Tinubu as a first class brain.

Peter Obi is a scholar (book smart) but Tinubu is practical (street smart). People know Peter Obi to be a "Warehouse Economist" and "Statistician" while Tinubu on the other hand is known as a "Master mind". 

In Nigerian politics, street smarts beat book smarts - same applies to business. Peter Obi ran a state for 8 years but Bola Tinubu ran both a state and a country 23 years before becoming President. 

When comparing Peter Obi's legacy to Bola Tinubu's, you would need just a ruler to measure Peter Obi's achievements in centimetres but when measuring Bola Tinubu's legacy, you would need measuring tapes to measure Tinubu's achievements in meters.  

The records are clear. Both leaders were governors at the same time. Some attribute Tinubu's success in Lagos to the state's geo-economic advantage - if that were so how did Cross Rivers become a beautiful state during the same period and why couldn't Anambra state compete with it? 

The difference is clear. Bola Tinubu is more attractive. Peter Obi's reputation rely solely on his empathetic nature and humility which is a good thing but largely irrelevant in Nigerian politics.

To rule a State, you must put your empathy aside and become a business man. If you want to rule a Country, you must put your empathy aside and become a war lord. 

Flying commercial planes to prove you're prudent doesn't guarantee you have the ability to run a nation - but having the required knowledge of your country and it's sentiments does guarantee.  

Even with a library of knowledge and facts from the internet, you will still make mistakes at Presidential level if you don't understand the street's language. 

Based on what's been said, Tinubu is the better option to continue running Nigeria.

While he needs not sign everything. There's just to much to sign and peruse.


That's the trick always used to get him to sign when a singular document is put intentionally on top of a pile for him to sign.

BrickandLace:
He should stop signing everything and anything they put in front of him. Signing every gurdderm thing got us here.
