In my view, Peter Obi has not demonstrated that he has practical solutions to Nigeria's challenges. I see him as someone whose rhetoric has not been matched by a convincing roadmap for governance. Compared to former President Buhari, I believe he would perform no better, and I also question his willingness to make difficult and politically costly decisions.

Meaningful reforms require courage, political will, and the willingness to make difficult decisions despite public criticism. In my opinion, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has shown more of those qualities through the reforms his administration has pursued. While reasonable people may disagree about the outcomes, I believe Nigeria's long-term progress depends on leaders who are prepared to take tough decisions rather than simply make attractive promises.

A good student of history would understand that countries such as China endured periods of severe economic hardship and international ridicule before achieving rapid development. Through sustained policy reforms, long-term planning, and determined leadership over many years, China transformed itself into one of the world's largest economies and a major global power. My belief is that genuine national transformation requires patience, consistency, and leaders who are prepared to pursue difficult reforms in pursuit of long-term progress.

Nigerians and backwards mentality
We don't produce batteries but we're rejoicing over a lithium plant built to exploit natural resources found in our environment
Some zone Bees above have even turned it to a geopolitical issue
Who do us like this sey? I wan know the man

I think the real question we should be asking is: Who did this to your brain? Please don't use this kind of reasoning to raise children.
If Aliko Dangote had waited for Nigeria to start manufacturing vehicles before deciding to build a refinery, do you honestly think the Dangote Refinery would exist today?
Progress comes from people who identify opportunities and invest in solving problems—not from waiting for every other sector to develop first. Sometimes, one major investment becomes the catalyst that drives growth in many other industries.

This kind of rise from grass to grace could only happen under the administration of Jagaban of Africa, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Imagine if Bola Ahmed Tinubu had demanded ₦10 million from every governorship aspirant before allowing them to contest—as some people have alleged against others. Where would this man have found ₦10 million to pay just to contest for the office? , there's always a big difference between the one taking advice from a mad person and the person taking advice from the normal people.

Kanwulia:
We all know how your devilish INEC and CRIMINAL TINUBU operate. We are waaaaaay ahead of them this time.🍷

God forbid to EVER support a DRUG BARON LIKE TINUBU!🌹

Please, take your temperature. You might be delirious. The amount of money spent by the mandate-thief to obscure the FACTS OVER THE YEARS cannot make MOST OF US BLIND like some of you.

No body cares who you support. The facts remains.✅

Only in Nigeria will such a CRIMINAL run amock for years without containment.🙄

Which secondary school results or G.E.D. did the CRIMINAL CALLED TINUBU use to ger into the CSU?

Even the school officials are confused at the magnitude of FRAUD! Keep waiting for proof.

The God you worship has also has also proven to you that he exists! 🍷

Wetin this rumour monger dey yarn? You think say everybody dey swallow every beer parlour gist wey dem hear like you? Bring credible evidence if you want people to take your claims seriously.

Linzo:
This one pain 30k boiz well, because of Obi massive in-road as well as acceptability in the North and the rejection of PBAT in the north.

I ask were will PBAT get his votes from? I guess only from SW, because the North has totally rejected him, South-South is a no go area for a failure like him, and South-East is DOA for PBAT.

Obi is highly welcome in all parts of the country, but if PBAT goes anywhere in Nigeria without heavy security he will be lynched by hungry mob

see mumu , I'm from the north and inshallah tinubu will win again because we are going to vote for Tinubu again

Kanwulia:
Imagine one that doesn’t have a certificate using fraudulent judges to remove one with a certificate!

Wonders!😂

Blame both the content creators and the OP for spreading unverifiable rubbish. This is exactly why misinformation thrives. I thank God I never supported Obi. I'm not going to take advice from someone who relies on the rantings of a madman instead of verifiable facts. Always verify information before sharing it.

4+4 will still be equal to 8, no matter what they say. President asiwaju bola Ahmed Tinubu till 2031

Jomonix:
You are demarketing Obi but he is getting more support nation wide

pls from whom is he getting that?

Mr Gbajabiamila is not new to bribery scandals. In 2021, Mr Gbajabiamila was among lawmakers accused of taking $2 million in cash bribes each to pass the petroleum law.


President Bola Tinubu’s administration has come under scrutiny over allegations made by Adeniyi Adeyemi, the director-general of the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), implicating the chief of staff to the president, Femi Gbajabiamila, in an appointment-for-cash scandal.

Peoples Gazette had on Monday reported that Mr Adeyemi alleged during a press conference last week that Mr Gbajabiamila received N400 million through a proxy and demanded an additional N200 million to secure his appointment, while also requesting 48 per cent of the PFIPC’s N27.4 billion take-off grant, a request he said he rejected.

As details emerged, the situation has created panic inside the presidential villa, prompting presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga to release a statement on Wednesday to ease tensions in the public.

The presidency said it was aware of the allegations and described the PFIPC as a fictitious agency, claiming that Mr Gbajabiamila had first petitioned the Police and the State Security Service in October last year over the forging of his signature, seal, and portfolio number to issue fake employment letters from his office.

“We are aware of the public interest in the matter of a man called Adeyemi Adeniyi Matthew, who has been parading himself as the director-general of a fictitious Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council cum Presidential Economic Advisory Council.

“The office of the chief of staff to the president first blew the whistle on the existence of the illegal agency, following complaints from officials of the Nigerian Investment Promotion Council that another government agency appeared to be functioning at cross-purposes with it,” the statement said.

The Tinubu government also alleged that Mr Adeyemi used the PFIPC, which the government maintained was non-existent, to request a note verbale from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United States to facilitate visas for some of their staff, while also hosting ambassadors.

Amid the current administration’s attempt to deny the existence of PFIPC, The Gazette’s checks showed that the national budget includes a provision for the agency, while the government’s claim that the company doesn’t exist is contradicted by the fact that it had a line item for almost N2 billion.

It is not the first time that Mr Gbajabiamila has been fingered in a bribery scandal. In 2021, while serving as Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr Gbajabiamila was one of the lawmakers accused of taking $2 million in cash bribes each to pass the petroleum law, despite protests from host communities.

Meanwhile, the government claimed that the police filed an eight-count charge at the Federal High Court, Abuja Division, against Mr Adeyemi and two of his accomplices since November 2025, following investigations, and that they were released on bail. He is said to be due for another court appearance on July 27.

The accusations levelled against Mr Adeyemi included the fraudulent opening of a Central Bank of Nigeria account using fake documents to mislead the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation, as well as criminal forgery.

Congratulations to Nairaland for successfully transforming from a forum known for intelligent debates and fact-checking into a platform where almost anything goes.
There was a time when members demanded evidence before believing or sharing a story. Today, many threads are dominated by "anywhere belle face" posters who treat rumours as facts and opinions as evidence. It's amazing how a once-respected forum has declined so dramatically.

Brendaniel:

You guys can so deceive yourselves, the main advantage they have is that there is a compromised president in power who has brokered deal with them not to go after them, and also run his government with their saboteurs intact in his government...

You can do better , abeg. , this thing you vomited above na trash, use your brain nah.

I think the question in section F of the form should read: have you ever gotten advice from a mad man ? 💬 🤔

Brendaniel:
Well, he used his hands to do himself, I just kept wondering what he was thinking when he carried Tinubu matter for head during 2023 election, Shebi he ensured Tinubu became president and Tinubu is rewarding him for it...

Imagine looking at Peter Obi and Tinubu and you choose Tinubu, you see this thing called tribal and religious bigotry can sometimes make intelligence, education, logic and even common sense look useless, chai!

president Tinubu is still the best choice of any reasonable man any day and any time, only a mad man will choose
Peter obi instead of Tinubu, anyways, obi is already taking advice from the mad person from time immemorial.

Make I laugh enough to last me for today 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😅😊, obviously you don't even know what you're talking about.

Apcshit:
Nigeria is gone to the dogs.Why workforce inec remove NDC but ADA will be listed

May be the president candidate of ADA wasn't taking advice from a mad man on the street and obviously they aren't stealing the logo of another political party 🥳

NIGERIA: A Governor IS Nothing, I can kidnap a Governor’ — Bandit/Terrorist leader, Kachalla boasts

The terrorist leader further asserted that he has deep access to sensitive security data and that he is informed in advance of military operations before they begin.

Nasir elrufai that is liistening and eave drop on the sensitive national security information and data has been detained, you will also be arrested too

Eriokanmi:
The way some people reason eeeh! You're comparing the Nigeria of the 80s,90, until 2014 with Nigeria of nowadays right? Make una dey continue dey defend the rubbish remi had said.

Mid 90s when schooling in Ilorin, my 100L fees for a whole session were 1,663 Naira. The receipt is still with me at home till date. In same period, a kuli kuli or akara seller could conveniently raise her children, even build a house. I remember iyadunni alakara osu back in the days. When going to see grandma in ekiti, our vehicle would stop there and we'd buy akara. She built upstairs with the proceeds. In same period, my school principal was riding 505 evolution Peugeot car while his vice was driving 504GL. They bought it brand new.
In same period, pry school headmasters owned volkswagen beetle cars which they bought with their salary, cash. Is it same situation today? How much is a public university fee today and how many akara can you sell to garner that?

Na God, wey wan deal with remi and her husband make her spew that trash. Nowadays, not even a university professor could afford a used car, talk more of owning a brand new car. His entire life savings wont get him one except he received grants from outside for his research work or he's so lucky to garner some money during his sabbaticals overseas. In my undergraduate days, i knew profs who drove prado jeeps. Remi's comment clearly indicates how far and out of touch she and her husband are, from the masses. So sad. Her unfortunate statement would have made sense, had we been living in the 80s/90s. This is 2026 for cryinig out loud. This generation that met nothing but crumbs of the Nigeria's glorious past must not take her comment lightly, except they want to continue living with their parents after graduation due to government's failures. When China is empowering their youths and startups with huge sums of money with scholarship annually, someone is talking about akara empowerment in 2026? Hahahahahaha!!!

No wonder Nigeria is in such a disarray today. Even those selling akara today on the major parks in lagos, how much do they make daily? A lot of women quit that business for pure water cos of rising cost. Those commuters in lagos could bear a witness to this. Before, akara sellers would mob at you via the window but now, its pure water,soft and energy drinks sellers you'd see everywhere. What's the cost of cooking gas today per kg? What of ororo, beans...in fact nobody dey chop beans back in the days. They used to call those eating it as prisoners because that's the majort meal for them. Nobody goes to farm nowadays for fear of bokoharam and Niger republic that used to supply us beans to compliment local production had shut their borders against us. The available few is so expensive. What of the frypan, nylon or leaves? It's so unfortunate where we've found ourselves today as a nation. Under Tinubu's watch, naira became tissue papers. The cfa that I used to exchange with naira and my pocket would look like someone who kept heavy stones inside it had left naira far behind now. We're now 5th largest economy in africa, from 1st but nobody is talking about that, only defending rubbish. Isokay.

Anyone defending remi's unfeeling post is more than a wicked Nigerian.

you're the only better by far that doesn't represent that great citadel of learning unilorin

Like father, like son. Dem dey always talk before dem think. Na so him papa rope himself for live TV interview when him talk say him dey eavesdrop on the NSA phone calls. Later, him come begin deny everything.

43Ronin:
People are bashing her because her statements are inconsistent & cynical. On one hand you are giving women of your political party brand new cars(worth millions of naira in value) but sharing 50k to ordinary nigerians so what office did she use to share brand new cars to members of her political party? NGO?

Pls don't add to my disappointment in you by saying that you expect the remi Tinubu to gift the market women brand new saloon car

LegendHero:
Yes. That was 2022/2023 period.

Infact, he mentioned that he called them himself. His experiment was about showing that people are poor in Nigeria to support his “messiah” complex to come save them in the election.

so 10k is enough to be given to poor people to make them rich in 2023 but 50k is not enough as a gift in 2026, na your type they beg for urgent 2k online

Macm:
God bless Peter Obi.
2023 was a longtime ago. Things were better then, compared to now that #50,000 can't even start akara business. I did a minimal breakdown of what it will take to start up akara business, mean, it's more than #50k.

so you are expecting remi Tinubu foundation to provide for your needs and that of your families, she didn't own you or anybody anything, go and check the meaning of Grants from an NGO then come back here to receive your brain resetting slap.

Kaetoh:
What was Peter Obi’s political office as at 2023 ? Why do you people often make bad decisions and judgement? Is it an unfortunate issue of mental incapacity or something? He gave not from the government purse nor budget but from his own free volition, so why can’t you differentiate between the two?

Is first lady office in the federal Republic of Nigeria Constitution or is it difficult for you to understand the meaning of Grants from an NGO like the senator remi Tinubu foundation? It is people like you that are making some people says Nigeria youths are not employable because of their intellectual laziness.

Dynamicboss:
Very disappointed in OP comment.

Do you know how much Nigeria has deteriorated within the last 3 years? 30k, some years back is like 400k as at today. How can 50k start akara business? Do you know how much it will cost to buy all the items to set it up?

you didn't make any sense with your fake statistics, Park well and let's see what is going on in the front
