Sigh...

History has a special way of repeating itself!


Exactly how GEJ toured churches and shrines and still ended up in Bayelsa

GEJ did not lose election because he went to the churches, He lost because his regime was adjudged corrupt

I am yet to see anybody not a politician supporting Tinubu

Nijablast:
Where are the people that worked with Obi when he was the Governor of Anambra state?
Where are they now and what are they doing?
Anybody that can't raise those that are closer to him/her can't raise Nigerians from Poverty.

They have served and gone back to their various jobs. He did not allow them to steal money, so They owe him nothing

Someone should ask Reno if Obi is the president of Nigeria or a sitting Governor of state?

It is meaningless to APC because they do not know any other thing than consumption, borrow more to consume

There was no mention of any person or political party in the report but they are all insulting the woman and that tells you who the culprits are. they will never go unpunished.
May the perpetrators become victims of kidnapping

they are youths, it's understandable. We need an action president, president that will react to issues spontaneously and not the one that is out of touch with reality.

He is hedging his support. We all know who he will vote for

MadmanObi:
Are you pained?

how?

MadmanObi:
That's why he named himself him tu lie,someone that said he invensted 20 million Us dollar and it's now worth 100 million dollars,only for him to later debunk himself and said it was obi.diot that said the investment worth 100 million not him.follow your him tu lie in peace and stop trying to angelize him.

even if at all, when he said that, the investment was worth up to that. only illiterates will say that the value of items in 2022 is same as that of 2018/2019

those ogun touts cried too soon

Those that go for a rally without monetary inducement are the foot soldiers, many voters don't go to the rally

Upon all the suppression, He still came out on top. The most intelligent Vice president

Obi the nightmare of pdapc

so sad

I wonder why it took them this long to know

diadem10:
It's dumb of you to think BBC partake in your delusional stupidity.

Stupidity is when a grown man beats a drum in the bush and comes outside asking who was beating the drum.

diadem10:
You already saw Tinubu's beautiful BBC interview or are you blind and dumb?

You mean the beautiful BBC studio or dumb pre -recorded questions and cliche answers?

Everything is working in peter obi's favour.
Those that want a capable hand.
Those that want power shift to the south but no muslim muslim ticket.
Those that want equity and justice
Those that are tired of status quo
Those that are tired of the old order.
Those that want to make a statement
Those that know him well
Those that want corruption to stop

They seem to be living in a different planet

Tinubu Disappointed Me By Kunle Rasheed

When I left my temporary residence of London Bridge to the Royal Institute of International Affairs, Chatham House, where APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was billed to verbalize his thoughts, I knew instantly there would be a lot of drama knowing how politics is being played by my Nigerian brothers and sisters.
 
I had told myself it will be a great disservice to me as a journalist who is fortunate to be in London at this particular time, not to witness the APC presidential flag bearer’s attempt at convincing the international policymakers and experts about his vision and mission to rescue Nigeria from its present predicament.
 
I got there early enough since it’s about two train stops away from where I was.
 
As early as 11am that I got there, there were lots of Asiwaju supporters waiting to receive their hero who had been scheduled to speak by 1pm. These supporters I learnt have been there since 8am in the morning not minding the unfriendly weather.
 
Aside those on the side of Asiwaju, a lone voice who wore a T-shirt branded with Yoruba separationist agitator, Sunday Igboho’s face was shouting at the top of her voice that the only solution to Nigeria problem is the realisation of the Yoruba Nation. This lone voice, an elderly woman, in no time had about three more supporters who were echoing her demand.
 
As I was still observing the situation, Reno Omokri, an author, a pastor and a well known social media influencer, from no where busted on the scene with some protesters who were chanting “Asiwaju, not fit to be the president of Nigeria because of this and that.” But unfortunately for Reno this time, he was subdued and overwhelmed by the ardent disciples of BAT who made sure Reno’s voice and that of his collaborators were not heard. Everywhere Reno turned to, the APC members who had loud speakers followed him until Reno was totally subdued that he waved goodbye and left the scene.


At that time despite the freezing cold, the whole place was charged as the wait for Asiwaju and the others continued.
 
Eventually, Asiwaju and the other dignitaries came in at about few minutes to 1pm and they were taken in through the side door because of the mammoth crowd that were present at the front gate.
 
I couldn’t make it to the auditorium because the attendance was done online and I couldn’t have been accredited right on spot.
 
If I was not fortunate to hear him out at the Chatham House, another opportunity came when he decided to engage the APC members in the Diaspora (UK) in another hall not too far from the Chatham House.
 
I was able to gain access through the governor of Ogun State Dapo Abiodun whom I thought was only going into that big hospitality outfit for something else.
 
Getting inside the hall, I was surprised to see Asiwaju whom I had thought had left the vicinity in that black Mercedes Benz Bus that came to ferry him away with the likes of Fayemi, Ayade, Ganduje, Umahi, El-Rufai, Badaru, Gbajabiamila, Oshiohmole and others sitting patiently and waiting for others to seat.

As Asiwaju stood up to speak, my heart skipped a beat; I became scared because of the way social media had painted him not to be able to articulate his thoughts again because of what they termed as ill health. I must confess; I love his personality and I don’t want him to falter because I know how brilliant he is with the gift of oratory.
 
But, Asiwaju positively surprised me as soon as he opened his mouth and his thoughts were sequentially articulated. He was injecting witty vibes to spice it intermittently, I knew at once that many times on social media, its all about the more you look, the less you see.
 
Asiwaju, was able to marshal his thoughts on nation building and how he intends to change the face of the nation positively if he is elected president, not forgetting how he was the best student in foreign school who had five top companies waiting to employ him before graduating.
 
It was indeed a pleasant delight to see him speak so intelligently that I concluded he has not lost touch a bit.
 
As good as the day was, I had opened my phone to see what was happening on social media and the first thing I saw was the same Reno who was silenced all through with video evidences claiming he chased and embarrassed Asiwaju at the Chatham House. He claimed further that Asiwaju due to the embarrassment could not leave his car. Haba! How could Reno lie so blatantly without blinking an eye lid? Asiwaju and other dignitaries were not near the venue when Reno started his failed protest.
 
He had left an hour before Asiwaju and the others came to the venue.


But, looking at it, do I need to blame Reno for pushing such a narrative? I think the blame should go to the APC not to have pushed out their own account first when Reno was overpowered. But they felt complacent and Reno took advantage of their complacency to push out his own version of the episode.
 
The lesson learnt from my little experience at the Chatham house is ‘ma te lenu’ (don’t be swayed by mere talks), do extra work more as a journalist in unearthing the truth always.


! Kunle Rasheed reporting live from my inner mind

I am not surprised at Reno as a Nigerian Journalist, ” if u can meet up, destroy him” they are the backyard journalist.
However, let Reno learn that “Ibaje Enia Koda ise Oluwa duro” no matter your bad efforts, you can not change Allah decision”

No video to back up your claim? Let him come out and talk to the masses and answer questions on the go. The law of nature is acting on him and people want to impose another calamity on over 200 million Nigerians

They have seen that the brain of the person that they were scared of is like that of a toddler

ochejoseph:
Wasting a single vote on Peter Obi can make Tinubu President

same to Atiku, we can't afford another 4 years of rampaging herdsmen all over the country

Our votes will correct all the anomalies

No monetary inducement, organic followership

TheNiceGuy:
Hijab doesn't cover face.
Even if it does, how does that concern you?

Why do you want to be looking their faces?

The bolded got me rolling on the floor. faces are meant to be looked at, do you want to have an intruder in the classroom?
what of the ones that cover their faces?

alright, what of bad governance?

Bonavi:
The truth remains, the planned policy is simply a manoeuvre by the powers that be to suffocate oppositions. Who told you Tinubu etc can not access as much cash as they want anyt ime any day. Is this not the same Nigeria where even tinubu can command the CEO of Zenith bank or whichever bank he chooses to arrange as much cash as he needs in the next 1hr any time he demands.
This is simply targetted at oppositions like Obi which they trail to make sure they frustrate him the more.

Again is the effect on the poor masses. There are obviously so many that will need more than 20k a day to solve various problems and this will result in you paying outrageous sums just to withdraw your hard-earned money. Is this different from the various banking polisies they ve previously enacted which resulted in stealing from the poor

FYI, Obi has control of some of the Nigeria banks and Obidient movement is a self sustaining one, they simply adopted Peter Obi. 80% of them are not looking that for any monetary reward.

FILEBE:
As desired it said. No one is forced to wear it

Makes no sense, why do we have school uniform? that's discriminatory

how can students come to school with their faces covered, what's the essence of school uniform then?
