BluntTheApostle:
Obi was invited?

You people are so ignorant!!!

Leave them. They are dullards. No wonder they don't go further in professional world.

Just tell me what Peter obi stand to lose if peradventure he looses the election?
Mugu

Once Obi looses, his hope entering history book as substantial Igbo extract who becomes Nigeria's president is dashed. So also, his hopes of building bigger empire by stealing more money is dashed. Also, you the zombies go kaput with shock and land in hospitals.

TheExclusive:
Do you know the requirements to be made a non executive director of a company? Have you been a member of a board's nomination committee? Non executive directors have specialist skills and experience which executive directors do not have. A board is made up of majority NEDs.

The board headed by the chairman run companies!!! Go and fact check yourself before spewing trash.

Obi has both directorship and chairmanship experience across various sectors . Board chairmanship and directorship has given him the exposure and experience that will take employees a lifetime to learn. And he handled it so well that the banks are doing very well even after he left.

You do not need to work on something directly to have knowledge of it. You can gain knowledge by reviewing and supervising as long as you are commercially savvy and understand the business. Besides, operational level experience of employees is irrelevant in this context. We are talking about strategic level, decision making and management experience which he has and has shown in both the public(As governor) and private sector. He is a graduate of world renowned business schools too many to mention.

So you do not have any point!!!

1: -3

Still go and check. You lack experience and the exposure. Chairmanship of a company is more political. The owners dictate strategic steps to take to chairman.

Stop being sentimental and tell me 2 companies where Obi as worked as either officer or associates, or manager or director etc before becoming Chairman of those companies?

All the companies Obi headed as chairman are owned in majority by Obi's tribe. Only Fidelity is a company that's a bit ok. Others are moribund. Has Obi been called to be chairman of any multinational company? Can Obi be compared with Pa Osunkeye and co.? Which influence does Obi have other serious multinationals to be voted as there board chairman?

daygee12:
Did he rescue Anambra?

But want him to rescue Nigeria

Leave them. Dem go see shege.

tamdun:
So these are his audience? I was actually expecting something else

Igbo audiences in Oxford. Just trying to create unwarranted public awareness for his daft supporters back in Nigeria. . PDP and APC will beat Obi blue and black in 2023.

You were wrong about the role of a chairman. I correct you and you get bitter. Lol. Funny child

Now you agreed that your Obi is just a fluke. He never had corporate work experience in his life other than when he was handpicked as chairman of some companies. He cannot even say he has work experience of what an NYSC graduate who served at, for instance, PwC, Nestle etc have.

Or have you ever seen where your messiah wrote his work experience other than trading? Duties and Functions of Chairman of Developers in AfghanEstern are as you have mentioned.

tctrills:
You have much to learn.
Below are the duties of a company's chairman.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors is the executive leader of the board of directors who ensures accountability and is jointly responsible for the management of the officers. The chairman's job is to ensure that the company's obligations to its stakeholders are met.
I also noticed you are very tribalist. It's hard for a tribalist to learn anything.

Weerey,

So it was Obi that was making strategic decisions for Fidelity bank that Fidelity Bank couldn't raise its minimum capital threshold to 25billion that CBN requested for, which made Obi to take 25billion from Anambra State's fund to bail out Fidelity Bank? Odenson.

Was Obi the Sales Director of Fidelity Bank that was rolling out products and services? Was he the CFO that was in charge of financial management of the company? And so on..

Let me tell you this: because it was mandatory for a publicly quoted company (in case you don't know what that means, it means companies whose shares are being traded on a recognized Stock Exchange) to have a Chairman, that was why Obi Pandora was put there as di gere hu.
It's just to fulfil all righteousness of Codes of Corporate Governance and to protect the interest of some thieves who have/had majority shareholding in Fidelity Bank then.

I could see you went to google the role of Chairman of a company.
Was that was you googled or what you were taught at NOUN (cyber cafe) university that you eventually attended? Must the role of a company chairman be that? This is the unauthoritative website were you went to pick your misleading thras.h of functions of chairman of a company: https://aprioboardportal.com/news/chairman-of-the-board-explained/

No wonder the YEast is backward. Yes, I am very very very very very very 'tribalistic' as you are - 100%. Can you go and die after hearing this? Get one more fact: the only brilliant guys I know from your red soil land are Professor Ndubuisi and Chidi Okoro (that I worked with). Others are noise makers. I hope you will be able to sleep tonight. Olofo

Obi was a director in other companies

· Former Director: Guardian Express Bank Plc.

· Former Director: Chams Nigeria Plc.

· Former Director: Emerging Capital Ltd

· Former Director: Card Centre Plc

He was a Non-Executive Director; not an Executive Director. He was just chairman at all these companies. Chairmen don't run companies. Obi's posts at those companies were like those of Audit, Remuneration (etc) Committees of companies. You are all of Dundee United who are following Obi. Go and learn about corporate governance, if you want to know more about the role Obi played in all the companies he had served.

You too can serve as chairman of any company provided you have some business knowledge and know some things about corporate governance.

Common bank 'tellering' job, Obi didn't do, let alone working in Bulk Room of a bank. Obi kan n fi buread ko yin lomi obe je lasan ni.

Read this line from his Wiki written by Obi himself:
Pre-political career
Obi was a businessman before he ventured into politics.[27][28] According to himself, Obi started his life as a trader, being born into trading family before venturing into the corporate world. He held leadership positions in some private establishments.

Some of the companies he served includes: Next International Nigeria Ltd, Chairman and Director of Guardian Express Mortgage Bank Ltd, Guardian Express Bank Plc, Future View Securities Ltd, Paymaster Nigeria Ltd, Chams Nigeria Ltd, Data Corp Ltd and Card Centre Ltd. He was the youngest chairman of Fidelity Bank Plc.[18][29][30]

You talk like a kid. Why would shareholders vote for you to be the chairman? They vote because they believe you would grow their investment.
No one would vote for a man who he thinks would lose him money even if the man is his child.

The majority shareholders (Controlling Interest - i.e. those that have more than 50% equity in a company VETO who would be chairman). They don't vote individually. Even if they do, they already know who they want to be their chairman. So it is like a selection not an election.

It is not Chairman that grows business. Chairman is a NED (Non-Executive Director). It is a figure-head, like a (your) Prime Minister that Azikiwe was. Only EDs (Executive Directors e.g. MD, FD, SD, HRD etc) manage and grow companies. get a learning. They only put Obi there on God-knows-why. He was just a rubberstamp. This 0-2 now. One of you dullards first of all called Obi MD/CEO which it was rebuffed. That's 0-1.

That was why they were saying/arguing blindly that Diamond Bank merged with Access Bank. Meanwhile, Access Bank took over Diamond Bank.

It has shown that Igbos only have agidi. Only a few of them are intelligent. They know next to nothing in the academic world. All they are after is drug, spare-parts selling, piracy, counterfeiting.

So, you are the kid, not me. I have over 18 years' top-notch multinational company experience as senior manager. You are the half-baked, educated-illustrate.

Joseph Onuorah that is leading your LP Lagos rally was a junior to me at one of the multinationals I have worked so shutthepithole of your abasha mouth up.

But kidnappers majorly don’t load in garages na. Those who use commercial buses for kidnappings usually pick their passengers from road side….. A driver who loads inside garage will definitely not engage in kidnapping cos he can be easily traced to such garage/park.

I could see the way you were rushing to type (because of simple correctible typos in your comment) to quickly discredit the initiative of the Park Management and the NURTW.

And those boarding by the road side will watch out for the barcode stickers before boarding. Any barcode scanned that doesn't bring the vehicle information will not be boarded. Mind you, kidnappers and once-chance drivers too load/pick passengers from recognized motor parks and garages.

It is not everything you fault because it doesn't come from you/your person. Appreciate their efforts and be constructive in your criticism. Suggest how they can improve it. That's how best to move forward.

[quote author=blamingthedevil post=117343572][/quote]The second tweet of Frankline was photoshopped. Check the alignment of his profile picture (in 2011) with one where he condemned Obi (in 2022) and see the difference. Also check the alignment of all the letterings and the globe and compare that of 2022 to that of 2011.

udeh3:
The highest is been an accountant in Exon Mobil. Not even the chief accountant. He earns below $3,000 USD monthly. The question is, how did BAT made his wealth? And you're comparing him with Obi was the MD and the CEO of two banks?

I don't understand, you want to compare Obi's CV with that of BAT..? Please, I challenge you to compare

Your best fact always result to insult. All I just need to do is, put you up for a challenge. Obi is a Havard and Oxford graduate. You can also verify

Please, I'm putting you up for a challenge. If you really understand your candidate, let's do it here

Obi did not rise, professionally, as a banker to become MD/CEO or whatever you called it. You are also another olodo. Obi was a Chairman at Fidelity not an MD. Get this straight into your head. Chairmen of companies are elected by majority shareholders. So Obi was put there by majority (the person that has the highest shareholding %) shareholders of Fidelity Bank (then) to oversee their investments. And this was done by voting at Annual General Meeting. The reason Obi was voted was because it was majority vote that brought him in. It didn't mean Obi was the best to head the bank. Ok? Simple thing: go to school and come out well with flying colours, you no go go. Na how to sell gala inside traffic and raise money to dey sell drug all over the world go dey hungry you.

So, at no point, was Obi MD/CEO or MD or CEO of Fidelity Bank.
All the courses he did at most business schools were short-short courses of a week or few weeks, which you too can attend if you have money because they don't write exams in those courses. Otherwise, Obi for dey fail in all those courses.

You can read more on this or check Obi's Wikipedia profile sef. Make I help una: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Obi#:~:text=Some%20of%20the%20companies%20he,chairman%20of%20Fidelity%20Bank%20Plc.

GeneralPula:
When he mentioned Single forex market, I know Pandora no know Wetin him dey talk..

Single forex market that Obi's ancestors could not implement. Aboki parallel market CAN NEVER and WILL NEVER be eradicated till Nigeria is no more. The economy don dabaru beyond repairs. Na mouth Obi just dey make. I guess he has someone who is giving him some jottings on macro economics. He should go and ask Soludo. Nigeria's economy is one that has defied all known economic theories.

He would need to correct over 1 billion anomalies about Nigeria before he can implement single forex bla bla bla.

How does he plan our porous borders? Even when importation is/was regulated, people still find means to smuggle things in and out of Nigeria through our land borders let alone when you now allow importation of all sorts. I bet you, if there's no import restriction, as promised by OBI, Igbo's will go abroad and import toxic wastes which are meant for strict, guided disposal by just collecting cash from companies abroad to help them dispose these toxic industrial wastes in Nigeria. Container go just dey land weekly.

He talks too much, just trying to convince people of his lies. His handlers are not telling him the truth.

Nice one, there was also Obidient march in Ile Ife today
Below is Festac

FESTAC is Igbo-dominated. So, we expect to see this. The two other political parties are not worried by these types of rallies.

sweetgala:
Everyone who had common sense knew Buhari was going to thrash Jonathan.
Obi is not Buhari, one is enjoying the euphoria of young people who are easily swayed the other was a genuine call for change, the results 7years after can be contested.

I want Obi to become president so we can test the legislature, I don't see him lasting 2 years before he's impeached

I also thought of it the way you analyzed it but if Obi could win, his followers may want to cause civil unrest when Obi's impeachment may be attempted. Aside from being impeached, left to run for 4 years, he can't, tangibly, change anything about this country. The mess is bigger than all his past, present, and even future generations combined. Obi. Obi. Obi, of all governors? Believe me, na packaging the guy get. Nothing dey im head. As worst as Akpabio is, Akpabio can perform better as Nigerian president than Obi.

lhordspy:
The same buhari that has been contesting since 2003? That lose everytime until APC brought him to power?

The joke is on you for saying buhari won not the Apc

Don't mind him. Did Buhari dispute with Tinubu when Tinubu said O lu 'le 3 times? The race is between APC and PDP. They are masterstrokes.

lhordspy:
Very true... It is more like Obi and Atiku fighting for their already 2019 joint votes. Tinubu is not affected a bit.

The number of new votes or should i say voters that is adding to the 2019 own .. Is just 1m+ newly registered voters, after INEC screened the double registration out.

Even if the 1m+ people are to vote for obi, which is practically impossible, add it to the number of Atiku/obi votes in 2019(which is impossible because Atiku already have the northern voters in his bag) ... It wont be enough to even win an election.

Incase you dont understand what am trying to say. Even if you join Obi votes presently + Atiku's vote + the 1m newly registered voters, it isnt still enough to defeat a certain Tinubu APC if going by the Last general election.

Why am refferring to the last general elections is because nothing changes, nothing have change. Except the rallies and supposedly '2million' match which we witness almost every seconds.

The same people engaging in rallies or supporting obi, never voted for APC 2019.

The same set of people feeling marginalised on religious bases, because of the muslim-muslim ticket will never vote for APC in 2019 too.

The same christian bodies antagonising muslim muslim ticket, Never supported Buhari 2019 also.

The same Afenifere, never supported APC 2019

The same South East, South south.. Are traditionally PDP voters, their votes never changes the outcome of 2019.

Infact some of the muslims voted Atiku/obi 2019, but this time arround with the present political situation where the campaign as been turned into religious one, religous sentiments have found it way in Nigeria politics now, those votes are going to APC this time.

Undecided voters in 2019 like me, who voted for Atiku/obi will never ever vote for any of them this time, why? Because of the aggressive way of the obidients followers. I know so many of us here that are on that line or should i say clinging to that excuse.

The south-west voted overwhelming for Atiku/obi 2019, not because of the love for Atiku or Obi but because we felt the pain of the failed First tenure of buhari then.. Even lagos was almost lost by APC even with Tinubu.
I feel my analysis is right here because those states lost by APC 2019 in southwest, was won by same APC governors during the governorship election except Oyo state which was narrowly lost.
Now, coming to 2023, i feels a tribal sentiment will play major role here, APC will win massively in south west. But what if APC lost, they lost Overall in the southwest in 2019 in the presidential election. It still never changes anything. APC STILL WON THE ELECTION. BUHARI WON.

So when you take all this into consideration, analyse it without religious sentiment or hatred for any candidate. IT DOESN'T CHANGES ANYTHING. Infact the antagonism. of the Buhari candidature we witness in 2019, was far far more than the Tinubu candidature upset we are witness now. Because the anger of Buhari's first tenure which was marred by gross incompetency, insecurities upset alot of people and it cut across all regions. Be it yoruba, hausa,igbo, egede, idoma, ebira... Just name it.. People were angry with his first tenure.
And after the election? I think we all know what happened - Buhari won again.

Some people are saying, the youth, the youth!. Do they PVc's? Alright fine, someone also came out to say they registered because of Obi this year.
Then they didnt turn out massively like we are been deceivedto believe, the number of newly registered voters justify my point. Just 1m+ (which am sure the youth cant have more than 50% of 1m+)

So in my opinion, it takes more more than this childish rallies, photoshopping Tinubu's picture in an irritating manner, or throwing of insult and jabs. We, when i mean we, i mean i included engage in all this for Atiku/obi 2019, Buhari still won.


By simple logic and permutation and the little knowledge i have about politics, TINUBU may not win next year general election, but APC WILL DEFINITELY WIN. And it will be by landslide JUST LIKE 2019.
BECAUSE NOTHING HAS CHANGED EXCEPT THAT OBI AND ATIKU ARE NOW SHARING THEIR VOTES.

That's what the ragamuffins don't know. Dem go chop am wotowoto from APC's hands. Did they see any serious LP rally in Northern states where winning votes come? Can they show us LP's rally in Niger, Kogi, Kebbi, Kaduna, Zamfara, Jigawa, Kano, Sokoto, Borno, Yobe, Katsina? What of core South-west states? The once they held in their perceived political stronghold were attended my fun catchers, toasters, pick-pocketers, bored Nigerian students who are at home due to ASSU strike, etc. Majority of those that would vote in South West o are not in those rallies.

I do not say APC will perform at all when they win power but "an elephant's head is too much a big load for a toddler politician called OBI to carry." OBI and his followers are learner politicians/voters where TILUMBU, ATIKU and there goons are. Can't we see symbol "L" in everything PIT OBI does? OBI declared for presidency of a complexed country called Nigeria within 8 months to election and you expect to cause chaos and win with it? No networking, no powerful friends and cronies across Nigeria. You can't lobby, you cant influence, you don't have machinery to rig, you don't have the money bags etc like your competitors in APC and PDP. Ha!

Even his deputy called YOUSEEF00L/DAFTY, who does he know in the North, despite the fact that he is from the North? He is an accidental VP. He never dreamt of it. He is not a political play maker. On a normal day, an active okada rider politician in his ward can mobilize votes than YUSUF. He just joined the bandwagon and praying things sail through for them to win. He knows deep down in him that LP is feather-weighted and they are just trying their lucks. What would 'cut' their games is the Muslim North and much of South-west.

Had it been that OBI had crossed party since early 2021 and showed his interest in becoming president, probably southerners would have registered more and he would have stood a chance to get more sympathy votes from shallow-minded religious bigots who cry as if it is religion that would take Nigeria out of the deepest mess it is, even though, he would still not win because it is a game of numbers. The North has the highest numbers of under-aged voters in Nigeria than any other region and INEC knows this and will allow them to vote because they will claim they are of voting age. Where is the machine to now detect their ages? They claim they are malnourished and INEC allowed them to register.

By the time proper campaign starts, all what the SE and Kanu, in particular, said about Nigeria, the North, and Buhari would be used to vote against LP. The Unknown Gunmen issue is also there for LP to contend with in the SE. Why do we think Atiku is begging Wike? One of the reasons is because e no too pure for am for SE like before so im want see how e fit capture SS join other votes im go see because LP is more popular suddenly, and a favorite in the SE, and also Unknown Gunmen may disrupt election in some states in SE or electorates may be fearful to come and vote.

I just dey here dey look our learned colleagues who feel it is time for HOBEAST. Honestly, it is not. Our Politics in Nigeria is deeper than how most youths see it.

Internet is funny sha .. I should not believe the tweet DG of campaign of Peter Obi ? But I should believe a faceless troll on nairaland ?

A simple Google search would give you all the information you needed but nah laziness

Middle belt forum hosted Peter Obi if you don't believe then I can't help your pessimistic person oga

Yet you are yet to provide just one evidence one single evidence it was an official labour party campaign

That's exactly what I said. A whole DG of campaign that tells lies. Saying it doesnt mean it's true. He packaged it to look real.

Can you give men the time stamps of when he said it and let's compare it to when OBIstackle arrived there? When Lai of dem APC talks, you ay na lie but when Doyin talks, you say it's not lie. Doyin is just trying to cover the unimpressive outing of LP in Jos with his Tweets. That's the simple truth. That's why most political parties use people who can tell lies and package things to look real as DG (or whatever name you give it) of their campaign. A good political PR person must know much about damage control.

[quote author=mrvitalis post=117114857][/quote].

Who is Doyin Okupe? Trust him at your own peril. All na make-believe. You want me to believe anything I read online these days? Dem already know say crowd no go many. Will Peter Obi go to Jos the second time for campaign proper? Let's watch out. If he goes, that means he was invited truly on his first visit. If he doesn't go to Jos again for campaign proper, that means this his first visit is his campaign for one of the Christian-dominated states he believes he has upper hands.

But I still dey laugh sha for Obi's handler to say a presidential candidate is INVITED by electorates to come and campaign. Okupe is a chronic liar. He is trying to use this to cover up the flaw.

By the way, can we know the time Okupe tweeted? Was is before, during, or after the Obi's campaign? If it was before, there may be a pointer that Obi was invited (which I doubt). But if the tweet was during or after the campaign, it means Okupe's tweet was a face-saving one

All Middlebelt people, including pick-pocketers. Over half of them will not vote because they were displaced by gunmen and bandit during PVC registration exercises.

mrvitalis:
Lol e shocked them

Firstly this is not Peter Obi campaign ooh ...Jos people arranged themselves and invited Peter obi

The main labour campaign for Jos is coming this one na normal visit

Igbo people can lie and twist. They always have another version of every story that does not favour them.
You mean they invited Hoebi and he went? But when Deji was saying similar thing about the other political party, you were hailing him.

They will beat LP blue and black, come 2023. You guys better dont rely on online polls. This is Nigeria o. Majority of those who 'voted' online are educated religious bigots and the Igbos just to boost OBIstackle's public perception.
The vulcanizers, palm-wine tappers, traditional market women who vote at the grassroots know nothing like online opinion poll o.

Rely on such poll at your own peril. I don talk my own o.

90% of the loan were fraudulently taken/accessed by staff of CBN either in their Agric Department or in connivance with other CBN staff. They snapped other people's farm lands and prepare fraudulent documents to take out the loans. I worked there waay back and I know what I am saying.

If Peter Obi wins SS/SE/MB he will be president

.

He lost because he was not totally supported by the core Muslim North whose votes determine who becomes your president. North and South West's votes are deciders. You can take that to any bank. Who told you that winning SS/SE/MB will make Pithorrible Nigeria's president? Even dashing him ALL the votes in those regions you mentioned cannot make him Nigeria's president because he still needs to win, at least, 25% of all votes from each region.

I assure you, Sowore will rule Nigeria ahead of PeterPondora OBIstacle.
