No we are not. We have been far far divided, partitioned, marginalised to be. All thanks to a specific candidate that rides and thrives on religious marginalisation, ethnic division and aggressive, disrespectful, uncultured mob support.

Call me a bigot or anything. But I will never accept to be tagged a brother, friends with person or people who align, engage, or stand as an apologist to people who called my country a zoo.

I am a champion of unity and oneness to the core . I preach, pray, clamour and crave for togetherness but i am also sensible and conscious enough to know my fellow Nigerians and differentiate them from clowns and pretenders who are still harbouring hate, and continuing fighting a civil war which ended so many years in disguise of running for presidency.

To answer your question: Datti Ahmed is a good man with pure heart. I hold him in high-esteem irrespective of his bad choice of political alliance with enemies of the country.

Talkative , chu chu chu chu Everytime, Sanwo Lou’s boss said he doesn’t believe in one Nigeria, Obi have never said that.

Purge yourself of the hate and bigotry, there is also Yoruba Nation, there is Arewa and there is a clam out for Biafra. You are a racist piece of shit who wouldn’t need good governance but to blab in a way it suits you.

Speak less because you must not talk, the. The more you do the more you sound foolish….

Shove the brotherly love into your azz, I don’t think Igbo’s or any tribe need you.

What a freaking mess.!!!

This dude is jealous asf… a petty overgrown baby

They should better waste this man, we don’t want to hear about him at all. So heartless

This one have been sidelined, can we focus on other party’s?

A woman once said, who is “kwansogbo”?

BENEAMATA:
ejoo , mechionu ! Wetin dem dey call person wey invest state funds into company wey he get substantial shares ?
He no thief money but he can hide his assets which he worked hard for from authorities with a saintly demeanor until Pandora papers happened ..
" but he is different , he cares about the youths , masses "but nobody in Awkwuzu SARS faced prosecution for scores of floating corpses in ezu river ! Like obi , like his supporters .Oshisco .

Gibberish, you’ve never invested before and probably never will, but I can tutor you with one line only, if you own a bank account and invest money, interest goes to the owner of the bank account, if he invested Anambra money then Anambra govt will get the so called interest, if I own a viable business and work for a firm, if I knew they won’t loose, I can invest their money in it, the question is, is it against the law? Did he eat their money, did Anambra gain from the business?

Support your thief and stop talking nonsense

Righteousness02:
He was allocated land by current Bauchi state governor and he declined. Telling him he needs no land in Abuja since he stays in Onitsha

Well

No be pepper full that big container Abi na my eye de pain me?

Ahhhh

See fresh man and see the person he believes will move the state forward.

I hate politics I swear

So he has no party anymore, he cannot be elected under the platform of the PDP. He could have when he was suspended, expulsion means you aren’t a member anymore.
“If you must eat a frog, ensure you eat a fat one”…He did and Wike should do same than hanging on the fence or support his Party’s Candidate…Primaries are won and lost!!!!

It’s 15 more days, everything shall pass…

PeterObiForPresident

1. He served as a governor for 8 years, didn’t allocate land to self , family members and friends. Didn’t appoint friends and family members either but people who can do the job

2. He told the state not to pay him or family pension or gratuity because his duty is to serve and leave.

3. He asked anyone to find where he ever embezzled the states money that he will resigned from contesting and no one could bring anything till date

4. He Worked, saved and left for incoming administration not owning salaries and pensions

5. He folded his company and placed it in a thrust (Most Nigerians don’t read so they can’t understand what a thrust is) and it was listed in pandora papers, after he was named a governor and from the time he became governor till date, no single money have gone into his thrust and have asked people to go check if they can see even 3 percent of what they said belongs to him in Pandora papers, the should confiscate it and no one could come with anything

6. Continued to help and speak against bad leadership…

Peter is more honest that 70 percent of Nigerians, the question is, Can you do any of those?

The choice before you is so easy, if you like vote him, if you like don’t vote him. The power is in your hands

You actually thought you belong to the political class? You are only there to vote, you aren’t among the elites who sit in their enclave and make decisions on your behalf, use your power now that you have the opportunity!!!!!

I therefore ask Tunde, Chinedu, Ibrahim, Endurance, Udak and “put your name here”, can you lead a state for 8 years without doing number 1,2 and 3?

Count your teeth with your tongue, election will come and go, you will likely not meet 90 percent of people you’ve been insulting others on their behalf for, they will be back again to ask for your vote in 4 years if you make it to that time by God’s grace, you will finally be alright….

Read about your candidates and be honest your yourself

That’s all

Initially, I used to think peter obi supporters are the religious partioner, the religious dividers. But I was wrong, the man Peter obi himself is something worse, a wolf in sheep clothing. Nothing but a religious marginalizer.

The attitude of his headless mob called Obidient is just the reflection of the man they support. It is an agenda, they are just trying all to execute it. All thanks to him, general overseers are now beating the drum of religous war right at the altar of the church. Calling candidate from other religion 'Killers'

I spent few decades in the Southwest before moving over to north. Growing up, I never at any point in time heard of Yoruba-Christian or Yoruba Muslim. These bunch of low-lives people started it in this election period.

I asked a friend yesterday, i told him what if Peter wins( God forbid it ever happens) , I said what is you guys plan to bring back religious unity after tearing it apart, instigating Christians against Muslims so as to favour your unrealistic political ambition?

After all these is over, Is your useless demon of a candidate that stood at the front of the alter, 'telling the church to take back it country'; -going to go back to the same church to church telling them the war is over? That they can now be friends with the Muslims, that they can now see them as same Nigerians ?

Gibberish, bitter and stupid. Obi’s elder bro is a rev father, Obi’s elder sister is a rev sis… Obi attends all these events, I once sat with him at one Anglican Church in festive where he attended a wedding with just few people.

The camera is just on him that’s why everyone sees him, he can’t change from what he does. Stop talking nonsense, they should stop recognizing him then

yarimo:
Obi miscreants are just bitter, WIKE is smarter than obi. he clearly knows obi can't win, I don't know how is labour party business in who is WIKE supporting

Stop shouting, election is not won on social media, how about you try a street vote if you believe the people decides than being a nuisance all over the place

Omg not Divine, they should check well please, not our boy

DamnnNiggarr:


Please when is Peter Obi dropping out of the race again?

The incoming President
Nlpfmod

Like minds, if Tinubu is in the midst of these people, who will he be discussing really?

Honjoshy4u:
The man have the signs, the block votes don defroze flow enter Atiku cup.

He’s arrogant, he can’t be what he’s not

Lizzysamuel:
Oduduwa Nation nko? have you Abandoned that one already?

Don’t engage twats, they enjoy someone being on their level.

Misery loves company

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…
