Tinubu was never going to pick a Muslim vice before

marvis13:
You guys that knows politics are you guys better the the Igbo's?

I don't understand. Then are you better than us?

Harmlesspill:
Those Christians that were killed in the church on Sunday,what was the reason why they were killed??

How does that one relates to this

arantess:
Did you watch the videos?

I said they won't attack u cos of PVC, I didn't say they didn't attack. I watched the video.

To be honest, there's no reason anyone would attack you cos you went for PVC registration. It's absurd

Asabe4:
Is Peter Obi willing to spend money??

Let's be realistic, you need Loootssss of Money to win an election, especially at the national level.

It is well with us.

True, I just want to believe he has provisions for that cos if not, he's definitely a joker. Even Osibanjo still did mago magi, mago magi is normal in Nigeria politics, but the harsh reality is that votes still count, there's this amount of support that you'll get that won't be able to get altered at all

I'm not a Peter Obi fan and would not even vote for him but personally, from my rational mind opinion, he would also be a worthy competitor who shouldn't be overlooked. He can actually win the election on one condition, just a simple condition.
He should've full bloc votes from SE and SS, but surprisingly enough, that would not be possible.

North vote would be divided this time around with Atiku, Kwankwaso and Tinubu .
SW votes are always divided, I'm from SW but trust me, SW would never give Tinubu more than 60% , I'm 100% certain of this. The remaining 40% would be shared between PDP and Peter Obi.

Atiku as a person isn't actually loved by people, he's just a strong politician who has associates, just politically strong.

The only thing PO would do to make a clean sweep is begging SS and SE to give him full votes and, the two regions are enough to make him the president, trust me. That's if they would give him at least 90% of votes o. And note not the 5% votes that SE are known for o. I mean getting up to over million votes from each SE states and over million from SS states too , at least Rivers, Delta, Akwa-Ibom, Cross-River can still give him that.
He would surely have 20% of SW.

But you see that North, he should just forget it, he shouldn't stress much on that. At least Tinubu shun SE and he still won the primary election, so there's nothing there.

But the question is , can he actually get bloc votes from even his region talkleds of SS

coputa:
Can a yoruba muslim marry a yoruba christian.

it seems you've not been to SW before.
Tinubu,Fashola, Saraki, Ajimobi and co married Christians.
I gave you the prominent ones, so it's very common among the masses .

coputa:
Has islam unite the yorubas(the ethnic group that has the highest number of muslims in the south).the yoruba muslim hates the yoruba christians and vice versa.

The Yoruba love themselves not even because of religion, it's because we're family. You don't expect me to hate my siblings or parents just because he's in another religion

P1PrinceKT:
But 1, Christianity is also a major tool in South
Secondly Pidgin language is widely spoken there too. .

I think you're yet to find to find the problem.

we're not really bond by Christianity, SW has many Muslims too.
And a major factor you should look at is that, Islam as a religion itself unifies people, Islam has same ideology mode of life and even has its own culture unlike Christianity, Catholics has different values from Anglican and pentecostals and so on.

Pidgin is not a southern language, it's a Nigerian thing. Moreover , we can't really call pidgin a language. We're talking of a language , an identification that gives you a feeling of belonging.

A lot of those commenters don't even understand what he's saying well.
The major reason why they're unified is two:
(1) Religion
Islam is a major unifier among the North unlike South which has diverse religion especially in SW therefore making it easier to speak to their ideology and since most of them are not educated, they get easily manipulated.

(2) Language
Hausa language is commonly spoken even among non-hausa in the north which makes this another major tool in uniting them. In opposition to the major claim that Hausa is the most populated tribe in Nigeria, I somehow disagree, Hausa is just the most spoken language

That's the major reason it's easier for any region in the North to fortify their goal for each other cos they see themselves as one. The two Northern president came from the same region and even the same state(Katsina) and none of them made it a fuse. Meanwhile, it'll be a problem in the south.

This is how it should always work. We should compete among ourselves in the south , then the highest bidder get all our support, but in a case where one person is docile and he's expecting the other to submit to him for no reason is absurd.

Naturally, everyone should earn it and we should do as if we don't know each other, but for the fact that our neighbor(North) keeps using the unity card , we have to buckle ours too just for formality and our goal sake.
Meanwhile in the real sense, we're not in any way the same, we're totally different, and that's the bitter truth . Our culture and everything is completely different

It's Hausa Fulani that's torturing them with fire, They're not Igbo. Can't you see that they've curly hair like Niger and North people?
Check their teeth well, it looks like Usman Dan Fodio's type

This is funny.
Where's the loyalty in your job, so you're a delegate because of bribe money.

Perfectbeing:
Half of the North and 60% of the SW is enough

60% of which Southwest

It's not that I'm really in support of what Seun did but I think he did that for an obvious reason. In a sane platform, there should be serenity.

For every one Islamic thread getting at least 10 hate words from other faiths, the Christianity thread would only get one. Muslims don't really care about other people's faith topic of discussion.
On the contrary , Christians on Nairaland are guilty of this hence, the regulation for such.

Labour party is a minority party. Have you ever seen a politician congratulate a candidate for winning a minority party?

DMerciful:
People who never wanted Obi are using his supporters as excuse! All supporters of politicians insult so making Obi supporters the only ones that insults is pedestrian and defeating

I guess you're not conversant on social media.
People might want to talk down on other aspirants but no one would curse or abuse you cos you're supporting Peter Obi, that's what I'm saying.

lathrowinger:
The way they attack people signify something bad... They are so dumb and too foolish

Peter Psquare supported Peter Obi, then so be it. that's his choice

They ones on nairaland are so worsted

So so animalistic. Awon omo alè

What makes it more stupid is that, there are some celebrities that are in for other candidates too , but they'll pull hell on their heads if they dare try endorsing other persons other from Obi. That's why most of those celebs do keep mute on it, but as Peter Obi openly endorsed Obi now, you won't see anybody holding him, that's maturity and that's how it should be.
But imagine if Olamide endorse Tinubu, I'm sure he'll trend on Twitter for a week.

Joezinho:
Na who curses dey pain dey fear them...

Those ones on Twitter and even on NL without PVC are dumb, vile and uncouth.. They reek of putrid ignorance..

Some of us don't believe in him and we are unapologetic about it... This is not a personal attack, rather it is our conviction..

And the funniest part is that people behave like sheep on social media, they see you as evil if you don't support Obi, for what? As if he has never ruled before? Was he not once a Governor?

To be honest, the way Peter Obi followers do attack and curse other aspirant followers is nauseating, irritating and stupid. Please enough of all these.

If someone isn't going for your candidate, that doesn't mean the person is foolish and warrant you cursing him/her now.

What gives you the assurance that your own aspirant would even make a change. This is very immature, honestly speaking.

Some people support a candidate based on a favour he has done to him or his family or based on his legacy that he gained from.

Everyone has his/her own point of view, you can campaign loud for your person but you shouldn't make another person look stupid for supporting someone else.

No Nigerian politician that has ever ruled has been good, they're always receiving curse during their tenure, and this same people are the talk of people before they got elected. So why act as if we're new to this or these politicians are not all evil.
As angelic as Buhari looked before 2015, see what he is now.

Eniola Badmus expressed her support for Tinubu on Tunde Ednut page, you can imagine the way people are cursing and bashing her, that's soo immature and stupid. Everyone has a reason for supporting a candidate, what you should do is project yours.

DontBullshitMe:
Nigeria is a jungle. Don't kid yourself with sophistication claim to console yourself, Even SW politicians hope they can deliver bloc votes so they can effectively negotiate for National relevance in exchange for votes.

What I believe is that votes are cheaper to purchase in SW than other regions. For a region with overwhelming homogeneous population, there can possibly be no other excuse.

Nigeria is a jungle but we distinct ourselves in the Jungle, we're still better off, we're not desperate, we play our politics fairly without feeling inferior .
Half of Yoruba only support Tinubu, do u know that?
We don't fully support him cos he has some scratches.
So you think because he's a Yoruba , we should all blindly vote him ? Never, we're not Northerners.

If someone with undiluted performance is nominated like Fashola(the then Fashola before he became a minister), you'd know we're more and more than united, even North would be a joke to how we'll support such a person.

Osibanjo is close to this but he has no achievement to be fair, he only looks like a nice man, that's y most people are trooping for him. He has no feasible achievement that he made

Dikebuka:
Otedola's own is 1 billion dollars.
U first said no igbo man is worth billion in dollars...now you are shifting goal post

Otedola own isn't sure, that's what I'm telling u. There's naira devaluation everyday, if your networth isn't revolving around one to 1.5 billion , there's no way it won't be moving down small small likewise Aurthur Eze.

The surest ones are Dangote, Adenuga and AbdulSamad

Kyase:
Oga don't justify your unreliability as sophistication

you know nothing. Half of Yoruba only support Timubu, do u know that?
We don't fully support him cos he has some scratches.
So you think because he's a Yoruba , we should all blindly vote him ? Never, we're not Northerners.

Kyase:
True, south west are not reliable, even with Tinubu on the ballot they will still do a 55/45, isshhh reason why I like the south east, if they are for you then they are for you for real

That's sophistication for you. We don't because of he's our son, we should now massively vote for incompetence or someone who's not our choice, that's y u always see SW sharing their votes.

If a well qualified person is nominated from SW, we'll all massively round him. We don't vote ethnical vote, we vote for our choice and competence

Eastcoastboy:
That's the truth, the southern man is always greedy and has tendency to back stab his brother.

I even understand if someone is at least strong a little to pull something maybe like 100 votes, he might be thinking okay, anything can happen, table might turn but not someone that couldn't even produce 50 votes, and you're neighbors in the same region.

Dikebuka:
Pascal Dozie is a billionaire too in Dollars..

You can say that the richest are from the north and west but u can't say south east dont have any.

To be honest, pascal dozie networth isn't certain and sure to be in dollar.

You can also claim aurthur Eze and Otedola worth a billion dollar too but it's not certain unlike the likes of Dangote , Adenuga and AbdulSamad. Those ones are constant and unshakable

To be honest , that man Udom Emmanuel is a betrayal and an insensible man. When you know you cannot win , why not assist someone from your region, at least if his vote is added to wike, it would be something. I even understand about anyim Pius as he's from another region.

Pls no matter what, we need to be cooperative and collaborating if we want to be politically successful in the south

Dikebuka:
Ibeto is a billionaire in dollars

just that one while the North has 2 and SW has 2 also

Viraltrends123:
None of them is a billionaire, and none is from Borno. Visit north east and see how southerners are enjoying what they didn't work for.

and who's a billionaire from your side, no Igbo is a billionaire dollar according to Forbes. There are only three billionaire in dollars in Nigeria

Viraltrends123:
LOL, Name 2 naa, 2 Borno billionaires, there are many mad billionaires in Borno, and you can't name 2, Kanu have deceived you guys, if it's about lying to people to get a country, I will lie 24 hours for 1 year. Visit north east, and see real marginalization, you will see why you need to thank God. You will see why oil is a blessing, and this people are getting peanuts. Name 2 billionaires in Borno oo. Today you will say north is filled with almanjiri, backwardness, abokis, now you are saying they are billionaires. Poverty billionaires.

firstly, which state are u from

Viraltrends123:
LOL, name 2. Just 2. And I will name 10 in Anambra or rivers, obi cubana, cubana Chief priest, Ned Nwoko, Emoney, Kcee, orji kalu... And I've never been to the east ooo. You can you name 2

Billionaires in dollars or in Naira ?

Those ones you're mentioning are just celebrities that's why they're popular, even in south east, it'll very inappropriate to mention Obi Cubana, Kcee , emoney or Cubana chief priest with the likes of Orji Kalu, it means you're not enlightened and easily swayed with socail media flashing.

You're putting Obi of (80milion dollars) with Kalu or almost a billion dollars, is that not a crime?

There are mad billionaires in borno guy. The notable ones from Borno . The notable ones you can only mention in SE are OUK, aurthur eze, elumelu and one woman like that, she isn't that popular
