There is no denying that Obi is a behemoth. The minute he joined NDC, it became a force to be reckoned with. The names I'm seeing that have joined is just astonishing.
Atiku really f'd up big time. He should have supported Obi in ADC.

TrebleChamp:
This was how larride wanted to bet that Obi will not win Lagos State in 2023, make una dey calm down. Nigerians will go out and vote like they did in 2023 and APC INEC will declare a different result like they did in 2023..

Bimmarlykay:
So by your logic,if a Governor supports APC it means the resident of that state all supports APC?

What do we term such a thing?

How did OBI win Lagos with Sanwo?🌚

Listen! Winning an election is about playing dirty and exploiting/covering up any loopholes, which is what BAT and the APC are currently doing.

That said, I can also beat my chest that APC is winning next year.My issue with Raum, which you delved into, was that he made it look like the citizens of Nigeria will actually vote for BAT again massively, despite all the killings and insecurity surfacing and resurfacing.

A quick question -As a Nigerian,are you comfortable with the recent happenings?will you still give BAT your full support?

izzou:
Such audacity

Well, I think it's too early to make any speculation. Anything fit still happen.

So, respectfully, I cannot take this bet at this point

izzou:
Wait.

You are saying if PO comes Second, I win?

I just want to be clear

izzou:
Yes,

The worst Obi can get is within the same 6 million he got in 2023

You can quote this one. It's a clearer reference

izzou:
Yes,

The worst Obi can get is within the same 6 million he got in 2023

You can quote this one. It's a clearer reference

izzou:
Yes...Same people will vote him.

At least, I am being realistic to believe that he won't get more than he got in 2023.

What I find funny is how you people are slashing his votes. You can tell me Tinubu will get more, without telling me Obi will get less.

izzou:
Ebonyi was full blown APC since 2020 or so. Do you know any other party that has any seat there?

Imo has been full blown APC since Rochas. APC has won everything there. So how exactly is Tinubu going to change anything there.

APGA adopted Tinubu in 2023 and 2027. After the Presidential election, they all voted their APGA. So what exactly will change in 2027. Obi Cubana is shouting City Boy, but his own blood brother is still in APGA and will contest under it again.

You're absolutely correct about Tinubu winning 2027. I cannot contest that, except the Lord does so.

But downplaying Obi's votes in 2027 is what I find funny. The same people wey vote am go still vote am, irrespective of tribes.

And what's more funny is that the Religious bias is now worse in the Middle belt, than in 2023 sef

izzou:
I am not saying you're wrong oh.

But this is exactly the permutations that was made for Obi in 2023, until he pulled those figures.

Your reason for Obi not flooring the Middle belt is because he benefited from a religious bias in 2023. Well, the bias is even now worse. If there's any reason Obi will even win votes outside the SE, it is the religious bias in 2027. Pastors are openly showing it, But you think that Obi won't benefit from it.

The same 2023 had 5 SE governors supporting Tinubu

Direct Support
Umahi
Hope
Soludo

Indirect Support (G5)
Ugwuanyi and Ikpeazu

But again in 2027, you think Soludo and Otti will pull a surprise for Tinubu.


You may be right oh. I no be God, but your analysis was exactly what people wrote in 2022 about him. And yes, I agree that it is still Tinubu's election to lose.

Emaprince:
Without rigging, anybody can win against Tinubu.

You think with all the hardship, and the fact that citizens have been dieing like fowls, while that tax collector look away, anybody will want to vote him back in?

I believe you arent in the country to know the true body language of every one on the streets of Nigeria. Nobody based in Nigeria will be yarning this out- of-touch-with-reality takes of yours.

Also, he gets the loudest support mostly from those abroad, agberos on Lagos streets or his fellow crooks in politics.

Bimmarlykay:


Currently,with happenings in daa country...Obi will floor them all in the East and Middle Belt,Kwankwaso will have to do his homework in daa North.Need I say Lagos and Abuja,i don't trust the SS that much,they are confused.Again,this is from a free/fair election scenerio.

Spy360:
Tinubu policies are not popular. So who are the people that will vote him in 24 states for him to win?

See sense

Bimmarlykay:
So you believe the people of Nigeria will vote for this current Government, I don't know if you say this to win arguments and look unshaken, or you're actually delusional. Even the Western region seems tired of this government,they can't win without rigging.

POV: Rigging.

CrystalTiger:
Election next year is more of a two horse race than a three..The only thing that can make ADC get up to 1m votes is ElRufai and with what his son posts on Twitter, I think he'll port to NDC.. Wouldn't be surprised if Atiku finally joins his APC because what he'll get as result would be worse than a disgrace..

Obi has to do everything within his power to convince Kwankwaso to deputize him and make sure the North believes he'll do one term..

The biggest disappointment in this whole thing is David Mark..Was actually thinking he'll be able to stamp his feet on the ground and insist on zoning..

raumdeuter:
Politics is not for emotional ninjas. I told people here that ADC is not gathering all the Northern politicians into a party for the purpose of handing to Obi

I told them ADC is for Atiku
I told them the best chance of unseating Tinubu is an Atiku-Obi ticket even though I don't want it to happen

They all said I was not in the country and I should watch what will happen

Now day don break

One day in the future it would be revealed how Tinubu paid Obi to secure his 2 terms as president cos this is obvious to every eye that this is not going to remove APC

raumdeuter:
Its what liberals do best. Its called bigotry of low expectations. A.k.a we know you guys are not as smart to compete with others so let's lower the standards to accommodate you, So that I will look good

This is something I think black people should kick against. Dont lower your criteria to accommodate me simply give me the opportunity.

E.g when Biden was to pick Ketanji Jackson he said I will pick a black woman. Why didnt he say I will pick the best American. Then we see that oh its a black woman. But Biden has already qualified Ketanjis appointment to be a DEI when its possible that Ketanji was actually a smart woman who bested other men white or colored, bested other women whites and minorities to get to where she is but Biden and the left already told you she got picked because of her gender and race

This things permeate and make people start doubting your abilities. Thats when If you go to a hospital for a crucial surgery and see Dr Adamu maybe your mind might start wondering dont they have like a Doctor Emeka or Dr Onos instead of this Adamu who we no know how he take be doctor

From your example of those who got admitted without passing Maths or they waived SAT for. Because they think Maths is racist. They didnt waive Maths for everyone its just for these Neanderthals who cant understand Maths. If their colleagues start looking at them as quota system candidates do you think that helps them? Especially the ones who would have dusted the exams easily are all bunched together. Now if they graduate won't they be viewed as those who got Maths waivers and employers discriminate against them, even if they are forced to employ them maybe they will just keep them in a quota system position and not business critical because we know they were helped to get here

It happens in Nigeria to Northerners even some of us Dundee southerners will look down on every Northerner and assume we are smarter.

Theflint1:
Early 2010s, you'd see several in states like Mississippi, Arkansas and even North Dakota.

Specific schools, Jackson State University, Mississippi Valley State University, University of North Dakota. I think University of Arkansas, Little Rock was that cheap too.

Theflint1:
In 2011, a CMD would have been earning around 7.5M per year from private and personal practice, which would come to around 50K USD. From that money he'd have been able to sustain two kids in the higher institution in many parts of Europe, and some parts of the USA.

School fees for both kids 12K per year
Living expenses for both kids 18K per year
(flight was typically twice, once at the beginning of their program, and another at the end of their 4 year program, so that's miscellaneous).

The CMD would have still had 20K USD (about 3M then) to guide in Nigeria.

Mr Faruk was accused of spending the equivalent of 300M per year on his children's school fees, while on a salary of 50M per year...there's no Math you want to solve that'd explain how he's able to do that through his salary.

You could have criticized Mr Faruk for being corrupt and living way above his income without using it as an opportunity to resurrect an Akamu argument you made some time in the past, but alas

afrodoc2:
There are 2 types of fashion stores one has to think twice about before entering.

1) The one that has few customers inside and none of the display items has a price tag

2) This one is very crucial. The one that has someone at the door serving complimentary champagne to customers as they go in……and no one is going in.

swiz123:
Who even told you this nonsense. No one in the east can say they are threatened by any armed group. Only the Fulani bandits attack civilians in the east and they happen in villages.

I have never felt threatened, ever heard or seen any. Or is activities of normal criminals in the east being attributed to an armed group?

Spy360:
The people spilling rubbish here have never set foot or asked anyone living in the SE for facts.

I wonder who in the SE doesn't know the people after their lives?

Bimmarlykay:
Ignorance at its peak,it folks like you that APC,Raum,Hope...can gaslight.

You don't even know the politics involved in Orlu to say. They term every terrorist in the east "IPOB","Kanu boys","ESN".

Ever heard of "Ebube Agu"?

Youngzero2:
My brother ,I tire oo.
Who told him ESN where attacking us.
Buhari and tinubu are the real security threat ,that sent soldiers to attack innocent igbos

TemporaryHansel:
The Nigerian government created the version of IPOB everyone is shouting about today. They were peaceful from the start, until Buhari’s government decided harassment, raids, intimidation, and military operations were the correct response.

Meanwhile, herdsmen were slaughtering farmers and ordinary citizens with no consequences. People were begging for protection, and the government looked the other way. So IPOB adapted to the reality forced on them, as any group backed into a corner eventually does.

Operation Python Dance, the harassment of anyone linked to IPOB or even just being Igbo, and the constant intimidation created the monster they now complain about. You can only push people so far before they reach their breaking point. You can’t beat a child and then forbid them from crying.

And before anybody tries to twist my words, I’ve never supported Nnamdi Kanu or IPOB. I’m simply stating facts. You people are trying to rewrite a history we all lived through, and I won’t pretend not to see it.

raumdeuter:
The point only makes sense when you look at it from the lens that NK was doing some form of good to you and your people by killing your own people. Look at these videos of terror on the people of the East

Don't say anything just Retweet and tag IPOB sympathiser Cubana Chief Priest 😭 🙆 👇 pic.twitter.com/jNNS8hhwzF

— A. Ayofe (@abdullahayofel) November 21, 2025

but for some funny reasons you see some elite from the East actually mourning Kanus sentence. See PSquare, Phyno, Cubana Chiefpriest etc posts since yesterday. How come none of them spoke out when people are being murdered, some of them cannot travel home without a convoy of security
This is Senator ABaribe statement

https://www.nairaland.com/8566027/nigeria-justice-not-igbos-senator

The Northern elites that also gave these type of excuses for bandits, look at how they are "enjoying" their land now. From the hands of "our sons"

Do you also want that type of "enjoyment" in your own land?

izzou:
Atiku needed a sitting Oil state governor to bankroll him, only to get 6 million plus

Then the one who didn't have a state HoR to bankroll him, got the exact 6 million, and you think Obi is to be blamed

One fact you fail to realize is that 2023 had a lot of new voters...A lot. Many first time voters showed up because in a long while, there was a 3 man race. If Obi deputized Atiku, many people who voted in 2023, would not have voted.

Obi was nothing to you, and PDP as a whole till he decided to contest and peaked . If he was that important, Atiku would have done anything to keep him. He didn't.

I'm glad you said the ship has sailed. Let Mbah, Umahi and the rest keep waiting for 2031. And I am very sure APC will flip the script again by then.

We all will be fine, one way or the other.

izzou:
Atiku picked a SS VP to pacify Wike after rigging him out of the primaries. Wike was already angry that Atiku wanted to contest. Remember that Obi to wanted to contest. He bought the form. When he saw that Atiku was introducing SS VP to pacify Wike, he left

Obi is a political suicide bomber to you today, because he got 6 million votes. What was his portfolio before 2023? Absolutely zero.. So if Obi decides to quit politics today, Atiku's career will be over? Think am nau.

2027 is before Atiku. He has the whole Southern Nigeria to pick from. If he likes, he should pick Okowa again, and come and tell us how Obi sabotaged him

izzou:
Let it go nau.

He left because PDP picked Okowa
