This same people predicted Buhari victory and we doubted them.

If you need to know a winner, go to twitter multiply the votes of whoever is coming second on online votes by 3, if it’s not matching the first position, understand it’s not close, he/she cannot win.

E.g, if Obi is getting 50 percent and Tinubu is getting 20, Tinubu still has a huge chance, if Obi is getting 50 and Tinubu is getting 10, he can’t match it.

Election is not just amongst Igbo,Hausa and Yoruba, there are other large tribes littered everywhere.

This election is Obi’s to loose

This man seem to try to leave a legacy and we should encourage him.

I don’t trust him though but his recent moves are just as great, well he has nothing to loose, he achieved being a President and he’s done I believe.

I don’t know who y’all choice should be, but if you know what you are doing, it must never be either Tinubu or Atiku.

Give the other candidates a chance, stop bundling up your destiny. It’s another 4 or even 8 damn years.

You won’t have bivas if Tinubu or Atiku is to win, Never!!!

It will be manual and you knows what that means, act now that you have a good option at least

TheNiceGuy:
It's clear Obi is Church Canditate.

Peter Obi said; Church, take back your Country

You can’t divide us with religion and tribe, you also forgot he said don’t vote him because of tribe, religion, my turn etc.

Give up brother, we will all reap from whatever we vote there…

Let me ask, who are you voting?

naijainstinct:
Based on this in-depth, well articulated and objective analysis of yours, I cannot argue. Believe me, I am right here smiling at my phone screen because I just read an intelligent conversation. I wish we could have more of this depth of conversation across the country, people will be able to make wise decisions void of ethnic or religious bias (just like your post).

These are the kind of engagements I love to see on Nairaland. Thanks for the intellectual conversation and enlightenment once more. I might just reconsider my earlier stance. Cheers brother!

No problems , at the end of the day, whoever wins will lead everyone of us that’s why it’s just scary, I hope we at least get a good election and not have people suffer us for no reason

naijainstinct:
My brother, thanks for taking your time to admonish me. The problem is that I don't see a Messiah in any of the four top candidates. I don't want to opt for any lesser evil either. Buhari has taught me not to believe in political Messiahs. I don't think Osinbajo is a Messiah either, but having worked closely with him on a project post-covid, I am convinced he has the intellectual capacity to make a little difference.
Who are you voting for and why?

Note: I typed so fast, some errors can apply here and there…

I won’t be voting this time because I don’t live in Nigeria, I honestly have mobilized people while here and I think I’ve also directed them to the right path and hopefully they make the right choice.
I’ve headed 3 different leadership positions in the past and with my current experience even in those little ways, I can agreed easily that those can also be applied in a broader environment.

Let me quickly access what I believe leadership entails and position the top 4 candidates thus;

A leader should:
1. Be able to Negotiate: In this scenario, I see Obi,Atiku and Kwankwaso probably fitting in. I don’t understand what the like of Tinubu will be discussing when faced with a President like Biden or the Uk Prime minister, what’s exactly will he discuss in terms of climate, economy and co

2. Be able to limit proxies and dig deep to understand: Obi and Kwankwaso falls into the category, both seem like people who want to learn more about every situation,they will employ ministers but can easily ask questions before arriving at decisions,Tinubu and Atiku will have too many proxies,too many representatives and won’t care whatever most of their decisions are and can easily relax and go with anything

3. A leader should allow people protest and debate: People must disagree regardless of how nice your leadership is, how you treat them matters, will you welcome their views, listen to them and dialogue as well? Obi and maybe Kwankwaso falls into this category, Tinubu is pigheaded and Atiku is also very stubborn as well,Atiku seem like he can ask but he comes off as authoritative, in this scenario,Tinubu is worst, it must be his way

4. Who is around your leader: This also is very important,while you govern, you influences your decision? Who will be your ministers and co, Obi in this case seem to have more brilliant people around him,l who are ready to work, I don’t see the other three top candidates maybe Kwankwaso slightly having a lot of brilliance around him too,Atiku and Tinubu have the worst set of people you can imagine.Forget the candidates for a moment and watch those around them,those money hawks all over, Dino could be minister,what exactly does he do? Then look at Tinubu as well, most positions will be distributed to those who help them win elections not minding the skill needed. We honestly don’t need that.

5. A leader should decisive: Here, I see Atiku being too decisive when faced with very difficult situation which would not need any negotiation at all and I believe he has a huge edge in my analysis, Obi and Kwankwaso comes close as well,I don’t see Obi too heavy when it comes to taking very strong decisions,he will likely want to bargain,Tinubu will play politics with such decisions and won’t care what the out will be.

6.A leader should be less corrupt: This is the biggest and I saved it for the last,In my opinion, we can’t compare Obi to other candidates at all, think about this, you were a governor for 8 years, You assigned no land to yourself,assigned none to family and friends, built and revamped the state,saved for the upcoming administration and when you left, you told the state not to pay you a dime because your mission is complete,you only came to serve and you are done,till date,you’ve not been paid anything because you rejected them and you also have asked everyone to find anywhere they could that you embezzled or mismanaged the state fund and till date,no single person could bring a thing,the current governor of your state is sitting on top of the books and could easily fish out something but he can’t, what does that tell you? This Obi is honest, I don’t think I’ll ever ask not to be paid pensions for serving a state,I won’t do so.
People spoke of pandora papaers and he told them to go there and check if he ever place a dime in there while he was governor,he said he folded his business and placed it in a thrust after he became governor and that was listen in pandora papers,he has asked people to go search and if they could see 3 percent of the money they are speaking about,they should confiscate it. Till date, the heavy weight politicians can find anything.
Should we discuss corruption with Tinubu and Atiku? Even Kwankwaso have one of the most inflated budgets while he was governor and left a large debt while leaving office. Obi left none, it is actually an insult to compare Obi with these top 3 in terms of corruption..

Finally, we don’t actually elect our leaders, delegates do because we can only pick from what they have presented to us, we have top 4 candidates and I believe Obi is the cokes close in terms of health, knowledge, leadership, making appointments, being empathetic, negotiating and not playing with the lives of Nigerians. He is also extremely accessible.

Remember, Igbo’s hate their politicians, they hate embarrassment and I can clearly see their huge support for Obi due to the believe they have on him,they already knew he won’t embarrass them.

Let’s Vote Obi,let’s give that dude a chance.

We can’t compare him with these top candidates, this is my honest opinion and I welcome any sort of accusation or counter complaints as well.

Thank you bro

Bixxour08:
Okay

Do you create cards?

naijainstinct:
As it should be. APC should have cause to worry now...

I don't support Peter Obi nor Abubakar Atiku either.

My preferred candidate is Prof. Yemi Osinbajo and as he no dey ballot, I don rest.

Not a way to go my brother, if we don’t elect a leader, others will elect him for us, try to vote sir

Then they re-strategized , asking to renew your hope and you are jumping up and down…

Forget the candidate and his vice that you are trying to vote for a second and look at the people around him.

Those who will be ministers etc. if you haven’t learnt your lesson, no one can save you….

yarimo:
SOWORE And OBI are in the same class Politically , unserious and lightweight presidential candidates.

You are helpless, no one will save you, move on

backnbeta:
He actually campaigned initially, but you should know that the country is hard...I guess he didn't get much campaign fund. I prefer him, but I can't waste my time because he won't win. On what should be done to "people like him", let's be more supportive next time

I’m not supporting next time, not ready to organize money for him, dude uses Sahara reporters to play games, no accountability, just talks and talks and nothing to show for it.

Whatever rocks their boat, Glad we have a better option that is currently giving Nigerians a glimpse of hope.

You have to be a crook not to see that.
This is my opinion, I didn’t insult anyone, if you quote me to throw insults, you will go blind before 14 hours…

Y’all toxic and annoying, try me and see…

Jflex07:
You mind tinubu miscreants. In Rivers State,Everywhere you go it is peter obi. Even most Wike 200k aides will be voting for Obi. That is to say that we have now turned into Igbos by local tinubu urrchins who have never traveled out of Oshogbo and ogbomosho.

How can wike have 200k aides, he should be in jail once he leaves office if that’s true, 30 is too much for a governor, they see soo much money and they build little and waste the rest.

Watch him leave office and leave billions of debt for the next governor to pay. I hate Nigerian politicians

Igbos are everywhere, but 50 percent seem like a lot.

I choose the other option, I can’t believe someone left office, rejected payments of any sort, never assigned a land to self, friends or family members, created jobs, worked and saved for the state, till date have asked anyone to go check everywhere if he ever embezzled money belonging to the state while he served and no one can come with anything(read that 3 times again). I will if I was ever in his shoes, I damn will!!!!!!!!
A closer look at his lifestyle too will tell a lot. Sometimes I wish he isn’t contesting so Nigerians can be what Lagbaja sang about “ 200 million fools”…

Even a current governor who criticizes him cannot even find a thing in the books to accuse him of.

That’s virtue and exceedingly competent.

It’s an insult to compare Obi to a senile old thief and a Dubai based spv crook, unbelieveable!!!!,

you have to be a crook to compare them , you just have to…

If I’m the man, carry her go beg oh, I won’t let a lady infest me with her curse, I don’t care what happened between her and her mum, pastor can’t pray this one out oh… She even pack sand…

See the prayer warrior among them, middle of his head don black, you go think say na him holy pass

They got a good crowd,I know someone who went and he said it was a terrible outing, that it was empty. Is it possible that this was edited?

Anyways good luck to y’all

Where is the empty coffin?

He just quoted the police report…

A country that should be highly diverse was left in the hands of a conglomerate of crooks.

We have the best brains but are led by the dullest in the society, a lot needs to change.

What exactly do Yorubas do in Lagos? Y’all do tribalistic for no reason

He once told one to go and die…. It was on camera, lying ape

You took over a company’s profile, deleted their stuffs, changed it to yours, realized it was wrong, came back to report yourself and thought you’ve not be forgiven?

You have been forgiven, you made the decision to take those steps and there are spelt out terms to be meted to you if found in that situation.

You accomplished yours, let the court accomplish theirs my dear

Daniel7543:
These ones don collect, next life dem no go vote Buhari again.

Don’t just comment rather than rubbing it on their face. No one deserves this kind of pain, I hope they have a rethink. This is really painful man

Wow, ipob attacks again

Righthussle:


Yes. It is enough reason for you not to go to church. Your friend is a good Christain. A good Christain who knows how much his/her God needs money to do his work will not go to church if he/she doesn't have money to give.

Na the back of bible you de read Abi you be all these money hungry new generation pastors

Na today? People that never value human life

This people just collected Asiwaju money then begin betray am. God abeg ohhhh, Atiku must not be President, dude have been loosing election since I was born, he’s coming to take his money back

airsaylongcome:


Bi-modal means both fingerprint and facial biometrics HAVE to match. The problem with this country is that if INEC allows for deviation from that standard process to allow for people like these, the politicians will capitalize

I agree, we must manage it like that, they will do anything to allow manual voting and then strike by sitting in a room and thumb printing millions of ballot papers

rickpat:
does he have a disfigured fingerprint too?

Yes, scattered thumb

See boldness
