Stoplying:
He wasn't joking with anybody's life, it is just your Biafra-propaganda which interpreted it as such. Now you are claiming "his boys went to beat up anybody trying to vote for Obi". I challenge you to prove that any of those criminals was working for the Oba of Lagos!
It seems you have forgotten that tinubu leads the gangs of Lagos. But I guess it is more convenient for your victim narrative to imagine it is the Oba of Lagos who sent criminals to brutalise voters rather than tinubu trying to crush his opponents.

I will ask you to be true to your name and stop lying. You did admit he actually said so but it was a joke. How ridiculous can one be denying the obvious.
BTW, no where did I say the Obi sent the boys but that the boys may have been spurred on by his 'joke'.
A person occupying such revered and exalted position should be careful with his words and not talk like touts and agberos.

Truth's that he meant what he said, only apologists like you think otherwise.

Stoplying:
You guys need to stop taking things out of context, the Oba of Lagos wasn't threatening anybody, he was making a joke.

Really? Same way MC Oluomo made a joke with his own comments?
How do you even make a job with something as important as one's life?
Come to think of it, if it was a joke, I'm not sure his boys understood it else they wouldn't have beaten people going to vote Obi in 2023.

Joke or not, his comments set the stage for the assaults Obi's supporters suffered in Lagos, don't try to downplay it bro.

aswani:
I don't have a Tiktok account, shame.

Please try and accept that the idiot is just as you aptly described, an Ẹdo clown.

She was most likely spurred on by Obidients to be even more fooolish in life than necessary, all of which has thankfully died down now in Benin City seeing as the jazz certain people used on them has worn out.

Má binu ọmọ iya mi. Let's just accept every village has an idiot.

Or Agbadorians who physically assaulted people going to vote for Obi in Lagos, who called every good looking person Igbo and Obi supporter in Lagos.
She could've been spurred on by the likes of Obi Rikwan Akiolu, Remi Tinubu, MC Oluomo, Bayo Onanuga and co who threatened the Igbo over their choice of candidate. Perhaps too, she was egged on by Wole Soyinka who has become senile as a result of the crumbs from Tinubu's tables he feeds on.

Was the airport built to receive planes? It was built to hide/cover Umahi's loot and corruption.
We said it then that there's no need for that airport in Abakiliki when Enugu airport is just 30/45 minutes drive away but we were called haters. What population of Ebonyians can afford to fly to justify the #36 billion wasted on that elephant project?

ObaOfBeninNahMu:
Yoruba people will always hold their representative accountable, reason why Ndi Osu rush to South west

This is a thread that should've united Nigerians to fight these oppressors in power but look how you've derailed it. Why are some of you so unfortunate?
What's all these fights between Yoruba and Igbo? How does it improve your living conditions? You stay online fighting while the crooks are at Abuja sharing our commonwealth.

It's a shame how we the common people continually fail to get our priorities right.

Did I read that Taraba State is paying the wage award? That's the most ridiculous thing I've read here all years.
Who's the govt paying to?
That's a big lie.

Nailly:
Ijaw is larger than Igbo

Igbo is your problem yet the north and west won't let you enjoy the proceed from your oyel. Onye isi mgbaka.

What's wrong with Aminu Ado Bayero for goodness sake? He isn't the Emir no longer by the laws of the state.
That law that removed him is the same that brought him in after removing Lamido Sanusi. He should respect his old age and stop overheating the polity.

Lamido Sanusi quietly left after he was deposed, he didn't make noise, he respected the laws of the state. Ado Bayero should do same.

thesicilian:
Tell me you're obidient without telling me you're obidient

I'm Obidient and I love Nigeria more than you sycophants.
They spent #21 billion on the VP's house, subsidized Hajj with over #90 billion, spent #1.5 billion buying cars for a 'First Lady' not recognized by the constitution and so many other unnecessary expenditures but can't pay Nigerian workers a living wage but sycophants like you are cheering them on because of the crumps you get from their tables.

Yes I'm Obidient and very proud of it

thesicilian:
Well thinking Nigerians do not believe Peter Obi is different from Tinubu and Atiku or even Buhari. If we were to do a census of obidients today, more than 90% would be Igbos, and the massive support is purely tribal/sentimental. Putting an old equipment in a new carton does not change the quality of the equipment.

We know you don't like Peter Obi but you don't have to be unfortunate with your life. He may not be a Messiah, nobody has said he's but you need to admit the truth when you see it.

Are you happy that our president and governors and their teams are living in ostentatious splendour while millions of Nigerians ars going to bed hungry?

Why do you take sides with your oppressors?

blacknp:
The Idiot Hypocrite should shut up.

Unfortunately folks like you're the hypocritic idiaats here. Point me to one thing he said that isn't correct.

ekhai:
WE STARTED WELL, WHEN YOU GOVERNORS REFUSED OBASANJO TO SAVE MONEY. NAME YOUR PROJECTS AS GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE WITH SO MUCH ALLOCATION THEN.

This shows how empty you are, shows how little you know about Nigeria but because you've a smart phone possibly bought by your parents you feel who have a right to talk.

Was it Obasanjo or Jonathan that had problems with governors over saving money from the Excess Crude sales? Who led the governors then? Amaechi Rotimi isn't he? Isn't he one of those you called progressive but who ran the country aground with your saint Buhari.

Please keep off an issue you've very little knowledge of.

pharmagba:
Anytime hear Obi speak I am always dismayed by his lack of depth. He always wants to be in the news but he has no substance in his messages. He dances with all the good words but you feel insincerity and deception in his speech, even Atiku attracts more substance than him.
Soyinka was right.
Sowore was even more right.
Hear President Tinubu speak and he inspires a sense of nationhood and patriotism.

For those in doubt bring out video of when Obi speak and when either Tinubu or Atiku speak. Obi has nothing to offer

Obi speaks and gives you figures to substantiate his claims and he asks you to go and verify. But an olodo like you will prefer to listen to empty speeches like the one Tinubu presented today.

Obi isn't out to tell you what you want to hear, he isn't out to massage your ego, he lays bare the hard but bitter truth which you psychopathic agbadorians can't handle.

It's a shame I share same country with dullards like you who prefer the chains of their oppressors to people offering them freedom and a way out

Judgementa1:
How many governors have been in invited by Efcc.

Not been Invited does not certified that obi is not corrupt.

Has wike been invited.

What of ikpeazu or Theodore orji.

Are they not corrupt.

If Obi is guilty as you claim and EFCC is delaying, you can package the evidence and submit to them. Stop beer parlour gossip typical of illiterates.

EmperorCaesar:
Me foam in the mouth?? God forbid


Well, your statement about Yorubas not being smart isn't correct as there's currently a Nobel Prize winner around and if Nobel Laureate isn't a measure of Smartness, then u just proved again that Chinua died with the senses of all Igbos


Again, the presence of your tribe on the surface of the earth is a curse from nature...you guys are the largest group of dullards anywhere in the world

Oh! A Nobel Laureate who can't call evil out for the evil it's is worthy to be considered smart. A Nobel Laureate who keeps quiet in the face of the tyranny and oppression of the govt isn't my idea of a smart man.
He's just hypocrisy personified and there's nothing dignifying about him.

The Igbo hate them or love them can't be pushed over no matter how much dunces and dark hearts like you try and it's not for nothing that millions of them are making waves and receiving serious mention across the globe.

EmperorCaesar:
Igbos and hasty generalization. I've said it before that the last smart igbo man died not too long ago and that's Chinua, since then, we've only had Dumbos among us


Nature should find a way to stop populating the world with the useless genes of Igbos, as the world already have enough idiots to run things till the next 175years

How do I even get to share same country with subhumans like this

If the last smart Igbo died not too long ago, it means no smart Yoruba ever lived and it's such a shame the over 40 miscreants from that sad waste of Nigeria are dunces.

I don't know how phools like you aim verbal attacks on the Igbo and when they return them in good measure, you start foaming in the mouth.

illicit:
U don't know what's going on in Nigeria presently

That was then

Now NLC owns a political party

And I guess only the members of the NLC political party will benefit from the pay rise when it comes.

Let's suppose NLC owns a political party, what about its sister labour centre TUC, which party does it own?

See how politics of religion and tribe has messed your brains up.

unmask:
That's why he said in hindsight

Oh really?
When did he come to this understanding?
After he had issues with Labour Party I guess.

For Okupe to have made an 'error of judgment' on such a matter as important as leadership recruitment shows he isn't man enough.

Anyway, I know he's seeking for favours from Tinubu, it's his right though bit he doesn't have to sound petty to get it.

TimeManager:
Nigerian media has lost it, so jobless that touring a private residence has become top priority. They won"t tour IDP camps, Police quarters, Schools, Sambisa, because no envelope will line their pockets.

-Kiss the truth!

A private residence?
Jeez! What are you guys smoking in this country?
How can a house built with #21 billion of Nigeria's money be a private residence?

If he knew Tinubu was the best, why didn't he work for him instead of Peter Obi?

Didn't he tell us then Obi was the best and deserves to be elected? Why is he singing a new song now?

Very smelly Nigerian politicians.

Come.to.thinknof it, what capacity and competence has Bola Tinubu demonstrated? What's the state of the nation now compared to when he took over?

The governors are the major problems of Nigerians workers. To think there's/are states still paying the #18,000 as minimum wage in these hard times.
60k minimum wage is unsustainable but they are comfortable spending close to one billion naira on refreshments and useless travels.
In fact I blame the very docile Nigerian populace.

coputa:
more money buying fewer goods

And whose duty is it to encourage production of more goods?
Farmers across the country can't access their farms as a result of insecurity occasioned by banditry and kidnapping bit the govt can't do much to help.
The govt need to stimulate production through effective and enduring policies.

EmperorCaesar:
Instead of u to condemn the act of animals in human form perpetrating this evil, u choose to drag the Gov

No wonder your region is the way it is...U excuse every bad behaviour while hoping the Gov takes care of everything

You and Sound Logic are like two parallel lines

After condemning the criminals, what next? Does it stop the crime?

Ok, what the criminals did is wrong, thunder fire them and their families. They have been condemned, I believe the criminal act has stopped.

The way some of you reason is very shameful and to think you even introduce a tribal angle to it shows how low intellectually you are.

In Lagos and other major cities across Nigeria, manholes on roads are stolen but nobody has called the Yoruba and others names. Some parts of the North East (Taraba, Adamawa, Gombe etc) have been without power since May as a result of vandalization of TCN high tension towers but nobody has called them names.

The solution to these crimes is proactiveness. On such a multi billion very important project, the least the.govt could've done is installing CCTV cameras to check the vandals.

Be proactive and not reactive.

coputa:
When prices are high,it doesn't make the business person to make more money because cost of production is factored into prices of goods and services

Your customers are the civil servants. If they don't have money to patronize you, buy your goods how do you make profit and survive?

The woman who supplies garri to my wife has been calling her since last week to come buy but my wife can't go because, you guess why.

Now the garri seller is stuck with her goods.

raskymonojendor:
Change the topic heading to Obidients and Biafrians.

Change the 'topic' to whatever you wish, the truth remains that Reno Omokri is obsessed with Peter Obi who doesn't care about him.

If Peter Obi is behind the strike, the. I think Nigerians owe him a huge commendation for doing the right thing.

helinues:
Shutting down the national grid should be treated as criminal and saboteur offense

Which nonsense national grid? What's so special about a national grid that has left millions of Nigerians in darkness for months on end?
To hell with the national grid.

slim75d:
My only problem with this minimum wage issue is that it only favours civil servants. Those of us in the private sector, and those who have no sector are suffering the hardship brought by the strike. Ones labour get what they want they'll move on.

So what would you have labour do?

Callosobruchus:
You think all of these bodies you mentioned are willing to go on strike?Do they have a choice?APC winning the hearts of people eventually is not impossible.

If they aren't willing to go on strike, why did they join? Have you heard of any affiliate of both labour centres that pulled out of the strike?

Nigerians may be anything but I like how united they are on this matter, shows we can speak with one voice of we want.

I want APC to win the hearts of Nigerians, I want them to be responsive to the needs of Nigerians, that'slhow much I want my country to succeed irrespective of who's leading her.

Callosobruchus:
In as much as I want the increment of minimum wage which will reflect the present economic realities I'm still not impressed with how the NLC and TUC are going about it.This is glaringly becoming political,it's an LP vs APC battle.They don't really care about us whether we live or die,they're just struggling to look for what will help them and their families.This reminds me of Emefiele's cashless policy prior to the general elections.

A battle between LP and APC? I guess all organs of NLC and TUC like ASUU, NASU, COEASU, NUPENG, PENGASSAN, MHWUN, JUSUN, SSANU, NUBIFE et al that have joined the strike are all LP affiliates. Some of you prefer to play politics with the lives of Nigerians.

Come to think of it, if NLC and TUC are LP agents, what stops APC from winning the hearts of Nigerians and putting LP to shame?

Raskimonojendor:
How was GEJ allowed to become president just to deceive them?

GeJ was the president, and he would not even fix the road to otuoke out of his own weakness and nobody's fault. He was the most powerful man in Nigeria.

Yar'Adua died in power and GEJ became president. Infact, Turai and the other northern cabal did not even want GEJ. It was the likes of Prof Soyinka, Odumakin, Falana e.t.c that fought for him. But as soon as he became president, some people claimed him, and even gave him a name of their own tribe. The same people that fought against Akpabio (SS) becoming President are also against the Lagos Calabar road that would bring prosperity to the SS.

Nobody did as much for Jonathan as Late Prof Dora Akunyili, a woman who dared the cabal.

Stop being sensational

senatordave1:
You will produce those letters physically before the court and match it with the video and the speaker must confirm that he endorsed them.ofcourse,this won't happen sir.it is settled law that where there is a contention in court over verbal and written evidences,written evidences will always supercede...
In the case of obi and atiku vs tinubu,the court thrashed all video evidences showing that inec chair announced electronic transmission.this is a settled matter

I understand what you're saying, let's see how it pans out. The days ahead promise to be interesting but I hope right reason prevails.

Political prostitution is one of the reasons why our democracy hasn't developed.

senatordave1:
Sorry sir,video evidences does not count in electoral or constitutional matters but written or documented records.for a defection to happen,the defectors must write a letter and sign and the speaker must read and endorse it.can you provide their signed defection letters and the endorsement of the speaker? It's a dead matter

Did you hear the letters read out by the then speaker as written by the individual ex lawmakers?

Anyway, I see your argument. You suppose the ex speaker must have tampered/destroyed the letters he read out that day. Well he may have or may not have but I want to believe those letters will be produced should the need arise.
