That's a serious country that's really interested in fighting and eradicating corruption in their society. Corruption practices like this in nigeria has been institutionalised as part of govt normal bureaucratic procedures in govt offices by those currently in govt. China knows that with their huge population of over a billion people allowing corruption to eat deep into their systems is definitely going to be a huge disaster for their larger population like what we are currently seeing in nigeria.

TopBanter:
You guys love deluding yourselves. What "growing Northern support"? You don't know how to do reality and critical-thinking.

It is embarrassing because that incapacity has gone on for many decades now. Obi is not even remotely in the loop for 2027 Presidential election..

He isn't remotely in the loop yet ur tinibu is spending billions to make sure he doesn't appear on the ballot next year?

Modu sherrif actually mean peter obi doesn't have enough men on ground to rig for him in the core north.

LabStores:
I don't know why people still do this...
But it's not supposed to be an issue.
When they call you a chimp or gorilla or whatever, YOU TOO CALL DEM WHITE PIGS. IT'S THAT SIMPLE, NO NEED OF TRYING TO BE CIVIL.

Yes or call them either white chimps or monkeys cause there is actually no difference between a black person and a white person except skin color.

Granger:
Bold move from Ghana, and honestly, it’s completely justified. Let’s be real, if it were Nigeria, our government would probably approve the visit, host a 3-day lavish banquet for him, and then issue a "strongly worded" press release afterward. Good to see Ghana actually standing their ground smh.

The nigerian state don't place much value on it's citizens only the rich elites.

RandDigital:
They believe we envy their ill-gotten Maybachs. That time we're angry about the impunity and brazenness - our own rich don't behave in an appalling manner like this. Then a thief comes and calls you all sorts of names.

You don't envy but ur hungry protesters don't waste time in looting the shops of nigerians who are legally staying and doing legitimate businesses in ur country?

RandDigital:
You should acknowledge the numerous threads on frontpage everyday of Nigerians engaging in crimes all over the world - especially developing countries. You're viewed with suspicion, not envy.

The anger comes from the lack of shame you exhibit after commiting the crimes.

The nigerians that are into criminal activities are not even up to 20% most nigerians abroad work hard legitimately to make it big in life so there's no wisdom there in generalising and rushing into conclusions that all successful nigerians are into crimes.

This guy should start watching his back those xenophobic killers will definitely be coming for him soon why risk ur life like this in another man's land?

Messi playing and loosing this match is really very shameful.

Mama agbado don turn celebrity overnight before u know it now a lot of nigerians will start donating millions to her.

ggood:
No one is Persecuting Christians in Benue and taraba state because christians are majorities

So why can't the govt stop the daily killings going on in those states?

CharlesCNG:
When you say “Peter Obi won three states in the North,” ask yourself : what exactly do you mean by North?

If we are speaking geographically, Obi won Plateau and Nasarawa, plus the FCT. But FCT is not a state in the true sense of it.

And even those results were not “core North” votes in the political sense. They were largely Christian/protest votes in the North Central belt.

In the Muslim North, Obi was nowhere near competitive. Kogi: 12.31%. Kwara: 6.63%. Niger: 10.33%. Kano: 1.67%. Katsina: 0.60%. Sokoto: 1.12%. Zamfara: 0.33%. Yobe: 0.64%.

So when Sheriff talks about the North, he is not talking about Plateau/FCT-style protest voting. He is talking about the deep northern voting bloc. And the numbers are clear: Obi did not break into that bloc in 2023.

A strong southern presidential candidate can definitely win the presidential election without a significant votes from those two core northern regions obi will definitely do better this time and penetrate those core northern states this time he is running with a formidable northern politician like kwankwaso.

Nairalandhero:
These polithieftians know once Peter Obi becomes president all their Lootings will automatically stop because Obi hates stealing public funds

They have absolutely nothing against obi than using biafra and ipob sympathiser propaganda to blackmail him.

Ballmer:
Cry go plenty for this thread.

You will see them shouting the North as rejected Tinubu as if that automatically translate to the North accepted Obi.

Na wetin this man de clear them before election start.

You must be politically very naive if u think this man opinion can influence the whole north are u expecting long persecuted northern Christians in taraba, benue, nasarawa, adamawa and kaduna states to take his words seriously?

The northerners this one is talking about is it not fulani northerners? He must really be very deluded if he still thinks the whole north is still politically united. Every sane observer knows the north of today are deeply divided amongst ethnic and religious lines and is incapable of massively voting collectively for just one candidate due to the damage buhari caused during his tenure.

manmade:
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.

What's the use of all the reforms if it's only making less than 1% of the nigerian population stupendously rich? Using china as example is quite very laughable because u will never see 5% of the level of corruption in nigeria's corridor of power within the Chinese govt circles.

zoedew:
This argument denies the reality of what it takes to win the Presidential election in Nigeria. Without securing the votes up north Peter Obi will not win. His wily ways are enough to put off Northern voters.

The north u are talking about here is it not the north east and north west? Any southern president candidate can easily win the presidential election without getting a significant votes from those two muslim regions even in those regions there are still a huge oppressed Christian population in states like kaduna, adamawa and taraba states who will definitely happily vote for obi.

Ali modu sherrif has already kick started it by claiming obi want to divide nigeria the evil corrupt nigerian politicians that held down nigeria for decades have nothing else to use to blackmail obi than using the old outdated useless biafra narratives that can't even survive proper scrutiny.

Stories for the birds of the sky gbaja just want to completely finish his co fraudster.

Dalohad:
Ali Modu Sherriff the number 1 Boko Haram man who sponsored the killings of many Christians in Borno.

The chaos he started have now gone beyond him.

If he is against Peter Obi, then PO is blessed. A Boko Haram sponsor supporting him would dent his reputation.


Ali Boko Haram Sheriff a proper terrorist is now the new darling of the APC bulabadeens.

The dregs of the earth always supports the apc.

free2ryhme:
if you have encountered ali modu sheriff one on one you will never take him serious
I have and i can tell for free he has the IQ of a 4 year

Any sane person suppose to notice it i have never taken him serious a very controversial politician.

SixSeven:
The irony of his claim, aside being a distraction is that our current government is letting Sunday Igboho, someone who has no authority to claim that he had government approval to act as a security force when we have budgets for that. They should stop wasting our time with these things. They are distractions. It is obvious they will use tribe to play politics for 2027, after all ọmọ wa ni ẹ jẹ ó ṣe was what they did in 2023. Obi, Atiku and Tinubu can all speak for themselves. They can attend debates but we know those who refuse to attend debates. Look at where we are today, a scandal in the Presidency but the President cannot speak. We are listening to spokespersons. But who is to blame. When he went to Chatham house, he showed Nigerians that he had people to speak for him so no one should complain if he does not speak to them. Meanwhile as much as we can criticise Trump he still attended debates and gives more press briefings than our President. The joke is on us

Only empty nigerian politicians who have absolutely nothing to offer nigeria fall back on this outdated biafra narratives to blackmail their opponents.

Streetinvestor2:
Is he not an igbo man so why should he condem baifra.
How many northerners condemned arewa
How many Yorubas condemned oduduwa.
So Igbos should condem thr identity because of drug baron

Obi has always condemn any criminality that's associated with ipob and biafra but these haters still want him to become enemies of his own people by going to the extreme by supporting the total elimination of all ipob members including nmk.

Old expired politicians with old useless narratives and propaganda that they always rely on to hold to power. How can a civilian president singlehandedly divide nigeria without the input of the national assembly how is that possible? Modi sherrif is a well known corrupt controversial politician he is not more patriotic than obj who is fully backing peter obi.

Flangelo12:
Don't be an ignoramus.

People do not own oilwells.

You only own an oilfield which may contain one or more oilwells.

You get an OPL after a bidding process.

Because you have an OPL doesn't mean you have a drop of oil.

After you've paid for geophysical surveys, we'll drilling and completion, you obtain an OML that allows you to enjoy the fruits of your labour.

In the meantime, you must have spent millions even billions of dollars before you see a dime.

Watch how he would still use his ignorance to argue.

No difference no one including the indigenous people of those oil rich land can access those oil fields or wells to go take a drop of oil except those who have bought it and the oil drilling companies.

Richtaiwo:
I'm struggling to understand this. Are you saying pipe-borne water has only just become available in Enugu State after 3 decades? How, exactly, have people been getting by all these years? Surely, you're not suggesting that there are still communities relying on ponds for their daily water supply.

They have people that moves around with water tanks and sells water to the people.

Bad market for those in water business in enugu, it's really shameful that an oil rich state like delta doesn't even have a functioning water system like this the one that was facilitated by the afdb loan has been completely abandoned for decades now all the massive water pipes that was dug undergraround around warri and effurun areas have completely turned into rusted ion dusts.

Walezy2020:
Confirmation that every region in Nigeria is blessed so North shouldn't be scared of restructuring

The north is fully in control of the oil in the south many of them including their emirs own a lot of oil wells in the niger delta so this makes restructuring not attractive to them someone like dangote that this current nigeria's structure made the richest black man on earth will definitely do everything within his power to fight against it.

The love is truly very massive.

kpankpangolo:
The thing put her in the show and got her a relationship with an Americana. Her personality got her a reality show deal which went for two seasons. I seriously miss that program and was happy to see her improve from episode to episode. She got sugar daddies and proposals on social media because of it. She eventually came back and almost won the show a second time because of the BBL.

Well, it was worth the price. Nengi can confirm the same.

I do wonder if ladies who go this length to do bbl even have plans to naturally have their own kids in future?

Do ladies like these even have plans to naturally have their own kids in future?.
