This Obi and his people don’t want this country to move forward, it’s so sad. Is Obi the first to lose an election? What’s his problem for God’s sake?

duro4chang:
Tinubu will do you well. We know you are frustrated. We will take care of you all.

duro4chang:
May God bless Bola Ahmed Tinubu the president elect. May his tenure usher in peace progress and prosperity. Congratulations to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu Akanbi Omo olodo ide.

duro4chang:
Everything about Labour party and Obi is lie, provocation, intimidation, mischief, falsehood, mudsling and character assassination.

The Damage Done: How Peter Obi's Political Strategies of Bigotry and Disunity Have Affected the Nigerian Youth and how he Can Rebuild Trust by Repenting and Retiring.

BY Ismaheel Taofeeq Adisa

Have you ever had an unpleasant experience with a politician? Most of us have, but few of us have paid close attention to the effects of our actions. If you're paying attention to Nigeria's political situation, you've likely heard about Peter Obi Presidential candidate of the Labor Party (Elluuupi75).
For those who don't know, Peter Obi has a long history of using divide-and-conquer tactics. In his speeches, he aligned the Igbo people while creating friction between religions and tribes. This has caused much discomfort in Nigeria and made Obi unpopular among the youth.
His divisive strategies remain one of Nigeria's biggest problems—especially among its younger generations—and it's high time that Obi seeks forgiveness and retires from his political career. In this article, I'll discuss how Peter Obi's bigoted strategies have caused disunity and affected young Nigerians negatively.

Introduction to Peter Obi's Political Career

Peter Obi is a Nigerian politician who has a long and established career in politics, stretching from his early days as governor of Anambra state to most recently running for the presidential seat. However, his political strategies have come under fire for promoting disunity and religious bigotry among Nigeria's youth—all to advance his political career.
This article is an exploration of the damage done by Peter Obi's divisive strategies and why he should seek forgiveness from the Nigerian people and retire from politics altogether. I will look at how his tactics have negatively impacted the youth, what steps can be taken to repair this damage, and how those in power must be held accountable for their actions.

The Problems With Obi's Political Strategies of Bigotry and Disunity

The consequences of Peter Obi’s political strategies of bigotry and disunity are deeply felt in today's Nigeria. By playing to the fears and prejudices of Nigerians, Obi helped perpetuate tribalism and hatred amongst young people, even creating divides between different religious groups. His speeches have been full of inflammatory language, which has further poisoned the atmosphere and pushed our nation into a darker place.
It has been estimated that over two million youths were directly affected by the division caused by Peter Obi's tactics. Young people have had their lives disrupted and their dreams crushed, as opportunities for employment, education, and improvement are limited in an environment of fear, prejudice, and division. This has had a lasting impact on the well-being of our nation’s youth—not just mentally but also financially.
Peter Obi should ask for forgiveness from the Nigerian people—especially the youth—not only for his divisive political strategies but also for his failure to recognize the damage it has done to our country’s reputation both at home and abroad. He needs to retire from Nigerian politics and yield his candidacy as a sign of genuine repentance. Only then can we start on the path toward reuniting our nation.

How Bigotry and Disunity Have Affected the Nigerian Youth

It's no secret that Peter Obi has used bigotry and disunity to push his political agenda. From his inflammatory rhetoric to his rigid, uncompromising stances on divisive issues, it's clear that he has put short-term success ahead of what is best for Nigeria. Unfortunately, this strategy has had far-reaching consequences for the Nigerian youth.

Mental health

The researchers in the recent study found that the ongoing tension between Nigeria’s different ethnic and religious groups has caused significant changes in how youth view each other, leading to increased feelings of mistrust and anger. This can have a profound effect on mental health, leading to anxiety, depression, and difficulty concentrating.

Academic performance

Another issue is that this type of division can cause a drop in academic performance among Nigerian youth. When they feel threatened or unsupported by their peers and communities, they are often unable to focus on their studies and are less likely to strive for excellence in school or college.
The bottom line is that Peter Obi’s political strategies of division and hatred have had a significant negative impact on young lives throughout Nigeria. It is time for him to seek forgiveness from the Nigerian youth and retire from active politics before even further damage is done.

Obi's Apologies and What It Means for His Political Career

It is clear that Peter Obi needs to apologize, but that doesn't necessarily mean his political career has to end. On the contrary, it could open a new chapter of redemption. A sincere apology could help him regain his credibility and start anew.

Showing Intentional Change

An apology isn’t enough on its own; Obi needs to also show intentional change - preferably one that goes beyond words and empowers Nigerian youth and religious people affected by his strategies of bigotry.

Making Amends

To make amends, Obi can use his platform to advocate for equality, justice, and inclusion. He could also take tangible actions such as offering scholarships or resources to those affected by the divisions he has created. He can do what it takes to bring the youth together by hosting events, organizing rallies or marches with messages of unity, or doing whatever else he can think of - anything that demonstrates an authentic commitment from him towards peacebuilding.
By showing intentional change, making amends, and committing himself to peace-building instead of division, Peter Obi could rebuild trust and prove that he is a leader worth following. He has an opportunity here to make things right - not just for himself, but for all the Nigerian people who have been hurt by his divisive tactics; if he does this well enough, he may yet have a place in Nigeria's political future.

How Nigeria Can Move Forward From the Damage Done by Obi's Political Strategies

The damage done by Peter Obi's political strategies of bigotry and disunity is not something that can be fixed overnight. It has taken away the sense of unity that was shared by the Nigerian youth and further divided them along ethnic and religious lines. For Nigeria to move forward and heal from this division, Obi must first seek forgiveness from the Nigerian people and retire from his political career.
Obi should also make a sincere effort to undo the harm he has caused by actively working towards bridging the gap between different ethnic and religious groups, as well as seeking out the mutual understanding between them. This would include:

Holding open dialogs and negotiations between different groups

Participating in peace-building initiatives

Encouraging collaboration between diverse groups

Encouraging youth participation in politics

Offering support for local education initiatives can help bridge cultural divides.

If Obi is willing to make these efforts, it could help bring about a sense of unity that had previously been fractured by his divisive political strategies. By taking these steps, Nigeria can eventually find healing and move forward toward a brighter future.

An Open Letter to Peter Obi: Seeking Forgiveness From the Nigerian Youth and Retiring From His Political Career

Dear Peter Obi,
Like many Nigerians, I was inspired by your skillful and demonstrated leadership capabilities. However, it's with a heavy heart that I write this letter to you today—I must question the tactics and strategies you have employed in the past couple of months during your latest political campaigns.
It is undeniable that your rhetoric has been extremely divisive and fuelled by ethnic bigotry among the youth and religious people. Your brand of politics has only served to fuel disunity across Nigeria. Sadly, this strategy has taken a toll on the Nigerian youth, who have become even more divided, confused, and alienated than before.
Thus, as a responsible public office seeker, I urge you to take a step back from fighting a lost battle and seek forgiveness from the Nigerian youth. I hope that you will realize that your divisive strategy of politics should not stand any longer. Instead of playing politics on ethnic lines and preaching disunity, why not communicate hope for unity? I implore you to retire from politics with immediate effect so that your legacy can remain untainted and more importantly—secure future generations of Nigerians from a further decline in moral values.

Yours sincerely,
Ismaheel Taofeeq Adisa

Conclusion

It is time for Peter Obi to accept the damage he has done, apologize and own his mistakes, and focus on retirement rather than fighting a lost battle. His actions and statements have not only caused disunity and mistrust among Nigerian youth but have also weakened the democratic system in the country.
As much as it is important to elect a capable leader, it is likewise important to choose a leader who will bring together the people rather than tear them apart. Peter Obi has caused too much damage to the Nigerian youth and it is wise for him to take responsibility for that, and step down rather than trying to attain power by all means.

A very useless Urchin...Obi doesn't need to be President before he can touch lives, But Tinubu needs to be President so he can touch lives!!

Werey dey disguise...!! Abeg clear road make I pass!!!

gtim4uall:
Sometimes I wonder about the people we have in this country, how they really think and what’s their priorities when they reason and take decisions.
I guess around to see the average level of our IQ and the proportional ratio between the high and the low in the population, I still always come to a conclusion that the masses are the problem of this country and not the leaders.
This is to those that are worshipping the new messiah from No way, those who have given in intellectual reasoning for sentiments, if OBI really feels for the masses will all he has to do be to become the President alone and if not Nigeria burns?
Jacky Chan an actor is touching lives in china and all over the world yet never waited to become president to do so, Ford of Ford foundation, JD Rokefeller was never a President Also Martin Luther k jnr. To name but a few.
There are a lot of areas in which 99% of the masses
Are so over stretched that brings out the living hell from all of us for Christ sake , I hv to pay 30k somewhere to get 100k cash, people I know who are eating their business capitals as I write because they can’t run their business without cash. People are dying just because they can’t afford cash to pay hospital bills that are demanding for cash only, the OBI for the masses can’t take notice that the policy has failed and is becoming a torn on the flesh of the masses he wants to rule ,, all he thinks about right now is mantle which has become very obvious that it was a personal ambition all along if not GOD would have not deny him the opportunity to rescue us all.
Now it’s even the “ unrighteousness criminals “ that are pressuring the government just to see if the evil did can be undone so cash can circulate.
The next thing OBI is thinking is to protest and picket INEC offices for mantle, why didn’t OBI protest or even make any substantial effort to rescue his so be loving youths when they were trapped in a cross fire between Ngige and ASUU, what did he do? then the masses were not his concern because his mantle was not stolen.
Please to all OBIdients time to use brain and not sensations, OBI doesn’t need to be president before he can get help to you or fix the country, he might even get there and become the worst ( I’m not wishing that) He can get to you from where and who he is not until he’s president. TONY ELUMELU, is not Nigerian president but he’s touching lives… if OBI really love the masses he will FIGHT FOR US and not HIS mantle. We have alot of burning areas OBI can do that from where he is not until he has become president
.




Mod..please time to move forward


Nigeria must be great do the needful

Parachoko:
He's the only Presidential Candidate that appeared at the Court

He can be attending Court cases everyday while Atiku can be protesting everyday

You no fit expect the President Elect to dey partake in such frivolous issue.

One of the reason I love Asiwaju is because of the way the man dey always"Carry" himself

He don dey act Presidential before he becomes the PresidentElect/President.

On Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Kashim Shettima Mandate I Stand Gidigba

As far as it is WOLE OLANIPEKUN
Case closed....
That man is election tribunal veteran
Across the Nigerian states and federal level.
Baba dey always cash out during election periods, man no get time for civil cases.

Spirit04:
Foolish talks. So they'll not use the machine again for governorship election or what? How long does it take to get a copy of the data in the machine? When Oyetola did it in Osun state how many people heard about it? LP is just an incompetent attention seeking noise makers party

Minjim:
The Appeal Court pronouncement can't stand.
That means the BVAS will not be used for the Guber election on Saturday.

Or they want INEC to go buy another one?

They're only trying to incapacitate INEC on Saturday because this same LP is in court compelling Inec to transmit Saturday's election results electronically and in the same vain telling another court not to allow INEC use BVAS

ImmaculateJOE:
Now that we know that, Tinibu cannot be declared the winner, despite the massive rigging, voters suppression and suppression of votes because he didn't made 25% in FCT..

A rerun is inevitable... Look at the subsection 3b, who among Atiku and Obi will meet the criteria...?

I think Mr. Obi did..

He got Majority of votes in 5 SE states, plus Delta, Edo, and FCT... That's 8 states..
From my records, Atiku only manage that in Adamawa and Gombe..

N:B.. "Highest Votes" & Majority Votes" are two different things..

Highest votes simply means you scored more votes, even if it is by one vote..

But Majority votes mean 50%+1 votes..

#ObiIsComing

U r saying nonsense....

Drealman20:
Wake up.. God and Satan have decided to come to agreement to retire Peter obi from leadership in Nigeria.. Not only that,they have decided that no igbo man will ever rule Nigeria

EKONGKING:
Obi ,Tinubu or Atiku difference will not be more than 5 percentage points ,based on initial results .

The question is ,who will be the top 2 candidates to proceed for 2 phase polls.

Atiku and PDP is completely decimated in south . OBI is not getting much traction from north and he wont be able to fulfill constitutional requirement and Tinubu has the slightest of chance to fulfil the requirement of constitution and win.

95 percent chance, is election will go to second round ..

I heard there would be something like accreditation before the actual voting.

Will 10am not be late for the accreditation?

PointZerom:
May Nigeria win through OBIDATTI

Koralords:
Tinubu your next president

duro4chang:
Let it sink into your head that Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the next president of Nigeria. The best man for the job. The Jagaban himself. The incoming president. Obi will never never be our president. He is going to fail. A pathological liar like him will never be president. He will fall and fail.

SpecialAdviser:
People using 2019 result to say elections are not won online should note this;

1) More voters are now determined to take back their country and will surely not behave voting apathy like 2019.

2) A new technology to checkmate rigging will surely change the normal trend

3) Kwankwaso is on ballot and this will harm APC chances in the north.

4) The change of currency will also harm APC chances

5) Contest is now between a good candidate vs known criminals. In 2019 it was between 2 failures

6) Buhari administration got worse before 2023 unlike what we had in 2019, so many APC members are fed up

So electric shock awaits you if you think this election will be a repitition of 2019 when online voting did not count
