The same individuals who rant and rave about a Muslim-Muslim ticket are falling over themselves to be admitted to countries like the UAE and Qatar to work as serfs.

A case of unrestrained duplicity if ever I saw one.

Can you compare the value and quality of life between Nigeria and thise countries (UAE and Quatar)? When have you heard that the Police in Dubai entered a business place and destroyed alcohol worth millions? This is what is obtainable in core Northen, Muslim areas of Nigeria like Kano. Who wants such madness across Nigeria?

When have we heard that police in those countries went around cutting people's hair because their hairstyles are not religiously correct like Hisbah has done in Nigeria? Religious intolerance is a major problem and should never become nationally entrenched! It is bad enough that we have Shariah in some places and this is one major ŕeason why muslim-muslim presidency is potentially criminal!

But when Peter Obi says same thing, idiots who cannot see farther than their smelly noses spin it to an allegation of biogotry which of course is dead on arrival.

Soon, they will be reminded of how they have the highest number of out-of-school children in the world and they will start screaming like mad pigs. They forget that the so-called educational disadvantage is why they can score 4 or 6 to be admitted to unity schools while the Anambra child for instance must score a minimum of 140 or 160 out of 200 points!

Goodlady:
Sud Obi really say if Tinubu wins, it's the end of democracy?
How can he sat that?
You elupeees and APC are the same. Terrible Politicians with vagabond like words.

Wheredid you read or see Obi make this statement? Why do you people like to peddle falsehood?

inoki247:
This one looks straight forward....


Not some people that're still trying to tell us a candidate should be disqualified....

There are many roads to any one destination. One mustn't use only that you expect. The law provides non-qualification of a candidate, where successfully proven, as one of the grounds for an election petition.
If a petitioner feels he can prove it, why should he not use it? Is the eligibility of a candidate not an integral part of any electoral process? Or do you want to delete that part of the Electoral Act?

Festus Keyamo! You're just a turd and you'd rather be arrested shortly. Silly thing!

akingangan:
Peter Obi should be advised to withdraw this case and accept the result of the presidential election.

Go and advise him na. Is it not INEC and APC that advised aggrieved parties to go to court if they're not happy with the results?

inoki247:
Lol confused lot no be about about any stolen mandate any more or been rigged buh his not qualify....


You told us is INEC you've issues with that you want to fight the system and you're also sure you won buh instead na case wey people don drag beat severally for court u go bring it seems you've the same brain with your supporters....

The issues are more than just Tinubu's eligibility. Read up all the grounds for the petition before you run away with one line. That PO said he'll challenge the process does mot preclude questioning a candidate's eligibility or otherwise.

It is also a flawed process that a candidate who might not be eligible to contest elections was allowed and it is INEC's responsibility to ensure that only qualified candidates are allowed to participate in elections.

Dentidon:
I have told you already.

It was money investment offence, not drug.

Ipob brain will be the end of typical Ipob if they don't wise up.

Money investment? How can investment become a crime for which to forfeit funds? Abeg explain the money investment clearly.

Dentidon:
I hope Peter Obi get sued for such libel

Eskiss sir, the matter is actually in court,dem no hide mouth talk am. Where you wan sue am go again sir?

JoshTim:
The thing is, this can never happen in Igbo land. So tribalistic a tribe.

1. How many of your people have lived long and responsibly enough in any Eastern state to even aspire to run for an elective office? Do you expect the East to come offer a yoruba or hausa person a ticket to contest elections just because?

2. There is currently a Chinaza Abiola on the Labour party ticket for House of Assembly in Abia state. Is it that you've not seen it or you're just wilfully ignorant?

3. Do you feel or think that it is only non-indigenes that would have voted him in as HOR member in Lagos?

Shun tribalism and rest!

Sirjamo:
You're mad

You're the real definition of madness right now! Common smell away you silly urchin defending clear incapacity and senility on the altar of religious and ethnic bigotry!

Sirjamo:
You're mad, the only thing required during recitation of national anthem is to stand still in whatever position. Guguru like you don't know anything than to hate, some people place one hand on their chest, you useless Aturu, it's not must to place your arms by your side.

When you stand still why do you need any other position? You are actually defending someone who was a former governor and aspires to be the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces who doesn't know the importance of the National Anthem and pledge and so takes any posture he likes?
Do you not realise that standing erect and still during the recital of the National anthem and pledge is one of the most basic demonstrations of patriotism?

Have you seen anywhere in the world and in Nigeria even where a citizen absent-mindedly raises his 2 arms with a walking stick while the anthem and pledge of any country is sung if not for this your bala blu master? So you will applaud this nonsense on an international stage just because you support a senile candidate? God forbid!

Sirjamo:
Which part of the Constitution says you can't throw your hands in the air, during recitation of the national anthem?

Is this some form of madness or stupidity

eagleu:
8 whole years later, you suddenly wake up and understand what the average Igbo has been saying!
You called him IPOB. You called him 5%, and you called him unsophisticated and wailer.
What do we call you now?

Call am goat, ewu or eran, simple.

Image123:
Is it wrong to ask Obi about ipob? Is it wrong for someone who is not a supporter of Obi to question him?
Obi that is ipob spiritually and physically, still dey format people for chatham house. He said he has agitator in his house. He ended up still defending the ipob saying there is reason for their agitation. So why is he condemning and mentioning boko haram and bandits. i think there is reason for their agitation. All the igbo leaders are playing with fire which is consuming the whole land, they don;t know. They should keep playing ostrich and treating the madness with kids gloves.

It is 100% wrong for as long as the candidate they support refuses to face the Nigerian public or the press and answer questions from other people. They hide their infirm principal then come to interrogate another for what? Even when the bulaba comes out it is to delegate te responsibility of responding to questions that what happened? Nonsense!

Ok na. And PDP that is supposed to be the main opposition party couldn't seize the opportunity to demand investigation or resignation of Tinubu over his criminal involvement in drugs, forfeiture of cash to the US Government, obvious perjury in INEC submissions and total absence of a background before he appeared in the US? Make dem just dey play...

E reach Atiku SPV matters, APC real opposition capacity don show sharply

ERockson:
No body or tribe has threatened Psqure for carrying Obi for head and you are here with your stupidd blackmail against Brymo. You guys are fool and this what you are good at.You will only make the guy popular and rich if you don't leave him alone

Did P-Square insult or denigrate the Yoruba tribe in any way? All the time Brymo was calling Tinubu City Boy, did anyone bother with his insignificant self? Why would he insult an entire tribe because of politics? Learn to be objective

Those of you faceless bigots ranting stupidly here should go to the site and look up the names of those who have signed the petition. More than half are non-Igbos and quite a large number are Yoruba. In fact the person that started the petition is Yoruba.

There are sane persons in this country unlike useless fools like some of you here encourag8ng deliberate criminal conduct!

OsunOriginal:
Corruption reinstated...

She has been fully acquitted by the court! Did you lament about forgiveness/pardon of corruption
when Buhari granted full Presidential pardon to Joshua Dariye and former governor of Taraba state? People that were actually found guilty and convicted? Better rest that hypocrisy in you.

As they like to ask PO about IPOB or any issue of insecurity in the East, what exactly is Atiku doing about these issues of terrorism in the North? Is this how he wants to become president?

The APC flag bearer is also clearly incompetent since he cannot do anything about insecurity in the whole of Nigeria despite his party being the ruling party!

baralatie:
How is pdp a party to the internal decisions of another party?

There are statutory provisions guiding the conduct and activities of elected officials including governors which transcend internal political party rules.

If I understand correctly, PDP is raising the issue that Mai Bala Buni as a sitting/serving governor is statutorily and constitutionally barred from holding any other office yet he served as APC national chairman. Based on that alleged illegality, PDP arguing that every action he took should be declared illegal and unconstitutional.

babaolofin:
Timidity. Only weak team prays for the disqualification of a very strong team.

Ireportlive:
PDP scared of defeat

All is fair in love and war. Dead that talk!

I didn't even see your comment before I posted mine. Those dirty supporters are just so nauseating in their reasoning! And they must always blame the common Nigerians who are already beaten and barely surviving!

Vote4Obi:
All these useless calculations to defend a currency APC has damaged?

This same naira was #215 to $1 when this criminals took over, but now it's approaching #900 to $1 but instead of them to profusely beg Nigerians for forgiveness, you see them foolishly beating about the bush.

I don't blame you guys, I blame some foolish Nigerians that still entertain the idea of APC staying beyond 2023.

michlins:
How easily can you earn $1 in USA that's what you should be concerned about. Minimum wage is 30k here and a liter of petrol is 200 plus subsidy. Which means that your minimum wage will buy you only 150 liters.

Meanwhile in USA, it's $1250 and a liter of petrol is $1 without subsidy. So if you get 1250 liters with the minimum wage in USA. That's how you should calculate it.

It's election time and this type of misinformation is expected.

You don't check how much something is sold abroad and convert it to Naira and when I compare Naira to Dollar rates, you ask me if I spend dollars

Thank you! The bold part is just the point! Same idiots that asked if N216 to $1 is good are the ones suddenly blaming Nigerians for taste in foreign goods and implying that N800 + to the same $1 makes sense!

DeLaRue:
We all want the Naira to be stronger. No question about it.

But as the OP said, why must we base our sense of wellbeing entirely on what the currency of a foreign country is up to relative to ours. It matters, yes, but it's not everything.

I'm sure people in India, South Africa etc dont monitor the Rupees/Dollar or Rand/Dollar rate every hour the way millions of Nigerians do every day, which creates the hysteria which in turn feeds the panicky rush to buy even more dollars. - all the expense of the Naira.

If we want to support the Naira, let us first focus on doing things that are within our control - starting with producing more of what we eat. We are increasingly dependent on imports to feed ourselves. This over dependence is making us a slave to the dollar. Tinubu was right.

Those who want luxuries like iPhone (yes, it is a luxury) and others should be prepared to pay the high price. It's just a fact of life.

We import everything. Even things we produce enough of here, people will still rush abroad to import.

For some reason, some of you are bent in ignoring the big, destructive elephant in the room while chasing after rodents! The Nigerian Federal government is the largest, single importer of petrol and other refined products of crude oil and these imports are denominated in USD! While it seems quaint or politically correct to castigate those who want luxury gadgets and items like phones, clothes, etc; the government has consistently and deliberately failed to plug this major hole!

The same government orders vehicles in 10s and 100s from Toyota, Mercedes etc for its officials using the same scarce dollars. All their wards and dependants study abroad with access to the scarce USD yet you only want to accuse Nigerians of having foreign tastes. Where is the effort of the government to support and patronise home grown car manufacturers for instance? What is the effort towards making our higher institutions viable, attractive and competitive enough for their own children? Let's not talk about health tourism by the same government officials! Buhari, Tinubu and co are wholly sponsored by government funds for their almost monthly health checks abroad!

Manufacturers still have to import some raw materials; with the inability of the government to maintain a healthy availability of forex at strong,competitive rates they are forced to the black market. What does that then translate to? Do the maths!

Ah! This analysis ehn! So 'objective'! OP thank you for your 'selfless' thoughts and reports of your 'research'.

Some people are just amazing, so concerned about Peter Obi...Well done

festacman:
If you vote for Sowore, Atiku, Obi, or Tinubu and believe that protesters will be allowed a free rein then you are sitting on a looong thing. Every government protects itself from opposition hijacking protests to cause confusion. Know this to avoid disappointment.

Imagine Peter Obi winning and the opposition organizing strong protest in Lagos for days or even hijacking this same annual Lekki Massacre commemoration to shake the government of the day. You think Peter Obi as C-in-C will fold his hand and allow things deteriorate. Smh

Were those that participated in the EndSARS protests members of opposition parties? Were the protests remotely political? Did you not see how Sowore was chased off when he tried to taint the process with his presence? Why are some of you bent on viewing issues through your very warped political lens?

It is an uncivilised, undemocratic, even criminal government that will not allow citizens to peacefully protest and register their displeasure with the government. When APC including Buhari, Fashola and Co protested during Jonathan's tenure who forcefully disrupted them? Was anyone arrested or injured?

It takes a despot like Buhari and like-minded supporters like you to see citizens as enemies and constantly try to undermine their legitimate rights to hold the government accountable without any decent attempt to address issues raised. Igbos hold memorial of the Biafran war, you kill them. Shiites protest, you release the Army directly against unarmed citizens. Young people protests against police brutality, you order their execution by the Army! Are you not ashamed? Have you no conscience? Tueh!

NgeneUkwenu:
Mad people full labour party, I swear.

Sha! Why should people be forced to participate in a political rally and have their sources of income threatened with being shut down? Why should the sum of 5k be demanded and extorted from them just because they chose not to march for Tinubu?

KillSars:
Should in case u no get..

Na free education wey una suppose don get for primary level be diz..

There are clear distinction between a very bad situation and a bad situation

Same way a very good situation is different from a good situation...

U are all welcome, the online teaching is powered by BAT...

Hello! Did you not see right there that 'very bad' and 'bad' are synonyms and can actually be used interchangeably? Or you're saying you'd rather eat bad food than rotten food? Na una type dey prefer to kill themselves than to commit suicide! Tueh!!

Go look up synonyms of rotten and you'd see the word 'bad' right there! It's not every rubbish you defend; reevaluate your political support or sit this one out but please stop this dead, unintelligent effort at supporting an obvious, very significant, mental lapse!

thebosstrevor1:
there is nothing like OBi is wealthy but simple

No wealthy man is simple, if he is simple then he should be living in a hut by now.

You really wish Peter Obi was a poor, desperate politician don't you? So you can claim that he's coming to plunder and steal like your APC politicians right? It will not work o! Take your L on this matter in peace.

thebosstrevor1:
here we come again

I didn't mention one single thing about tribe but here you come saying igbo and all lot of nonsense.

stop comparing peter obi and mark Zuckerberg, they are not in the same level

Mark Zukerberg lives in a house worth millions of dollars

peter obi is your typical Nigerian politician who wants to portray himself to the masses as someone that is for them when in reality he is working for the various elites working for him

Chinese communist leaders use that tactic very well, they despise the poor but then dress like them to gain their support.

I think you are guilty of the rubbish you supported and still support and don't know how to retrace your steps that is why you are projecting. You have been in support of Buhari/APC. Buhari is the classic example of the fraudulent misrepresentation you are trying hard to foist on PO and of course, failing spectacularly.

Shebi you people support the greatest con man that claimed not to have money for nomination form and only a few barren cattle to his name? Fear not, PO is not like that. He is very comfortable and confident of his capacity. He isn't coming to kill, steal and destroy like Buhari and APC agents you are currently supporting including Tinubu.

You're talking of Zuckerberg's house, did anyone tell you PO lives like a church rat just to supposedly deceive Nigerians? Did you not see where I wrote that he owns his own house in the UK and even here in Nigeria?

thebosstrevor1:
Most people have never seen peter obi change cloth, it seems like everywhere he goes, he wears the same black kaftan and shoe.

I think it is plot by peter obi to sell himself as a simple man who has nothing, he is always trying hard to down play his wealthy status, in my opinion that is deceit.

His black kaftan and black shoe is giving people the Mao Zedong( China communist leader) vibes.

These people are privileged, member of the elites but potray themselves as poor,humble and simple men to deceive the gullibles and also to gather supporters.

No wonder, peter obi said that his supporters are 100 million poor Nigerians. That is one of his tactics to target those people who don't know his history and where he is coming from

Peter Obi has always been a simple, understated person. For all you know, he may have over a dozen pairs of this attire/shoes and he changes into them as he needs to. Why are you so concerned about his appearance? Must he carry loudspeaker to announce his wealth? Are all his donations and support to educational institutions across the length and breadth of this country as a private citizen not already evidence of his status?
Is the fact that he already owned his house in the UK long before becoming governor not a clear sign that he is very financially comfortable? Has he hidden or denied this? Where is the deceit?

It is you and your kind that generally accuse Igbos of being loud and ostentatious. Now, you see someone who is wealthy yet consistently simple, you are bellyaching. What is the problem really?

I am sure you have at some point admired Mark Zuckerberg for his simplicity with his gray tshirts and jeans despite his status as a billionaire in dollars! Why is Peter Obi suddenly being held to a different standard in your books?

Has PO ever claimed poverty or said he can't afford something except what he considers wasteful? He is on record to have even boldly said he is worth more than the US President after he (Joe Biden) declared his assets which is why he (PO) is coming to serve and judiciously use public funds for the benefit of all Nigerians. I ask again, what is your problem? What is wrong with his being wealthy? Why are you triggered by the person of Peter Obi?
