No.

You don't Joke with Chinese political matters if you are a superstar, and a beneficiary of the Chinese.

People joke with it everyday.

Even the US doubled down with all seriousness on what Mbape said, and there was no controversy and the heavens didn't fall.

No bilateral trade was cancelled, and no US company was evicted or cancelled.

Go ahead and joke with Chinese political matters as an individual if you have business interests in China.

BlackViper:
Who knew that the Chinese were so emotionally immature?

You don't joke with Chinese political matters.

The day China becomes number one world power that's when the World will see their other side. The Chinese Communist Party is very deadly and very aggressive to anyone opposing them.

Former Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil was stripped of Chinese sponsorship for speaking against Chinese policies.

I remember last year when a Chinese diplomat said he will cut off the head of the Japanese Prime Minister for speaking about Chinese policies.

They are just calming down because of the United States.

China is not "deadly" as you try to paint it. As long as you mind your business and not interfere in their political matters then you have nothing to worry about.

China is almost at the number one spot. They are currently the only country powerful enough to stand up to the United States.

China is not calming down because of the United States because China prefers to focus on their domestic issues and improve the lives of Chinese people rather than spending money policing the world like the United States

Remove Peter Obi the fraud from the list and replace him with Mbah.

Tinubu too is trying.

Tinubu is the corrupt fraud. I don't know what you guys see in that man.

About getting to a point where AI will build and maintain itself autonomously, Why not live for now

If everyone goes into AI maintenance will it accommodate everyone?

motymop:
as new technology comes, you have to adapt, old roles will be destroyed and news one will be invented

so you got to adapt if you were born before ai, those born during the ai, need to learn the new skills that will give them new roles in the market

Which new skills do you want to learn that AI cannot do? Unless you mean skills like plumbing, shoe making or hair barbing which AI can't currently do.

tunapawizzy:
I get your point but I am coming from the angle of necessary human input. Even agentic AI operates within objectives and frameworks established by humans. Human is still needed to define the objectives of AI, establish boundaries etc. Design, deployment and improvement of models will forever need human input. The future will be about humans managing AI. The opportunity is still vast

The number of people needed to maintain AI still wouldn't be much. There is a high probability you wouldn't be selected because only the top researchers will be needed. In fact you are already late because many people already know more than you in the field. It will even get to a point where AI will build and maintain itself autonomously without human.

tunapawizzy:
Go and learn AI people.
No follow the people wey go dey talk "had I known" when e set

Learning AI to do what exactly? If you are learning AI to create your ChatGPT then it's a waste of time because you can't beat the big players already dominating it.

Sebi Nigeria haven't conducted any election after Yaradua hence your referencing end with him. Election didn't take place in 2015, 2019 and 2023.

Igbos have voted massively for Yoruba and Hausa candidates since all the elections. If Igbos vote only Igbo candidates as you claimed then what about the Yoruba and Hausa candidates they have voted for even when Ojukwu was running? So what is wrong this time around if Igbos vote for an Igbo candidate because they believe he is the best among the options?

So between speaking convincingly or show proof of your achievements, which do you think is more relevant to win election?

What makes you think Peter Obi achieved nothing as governor? How is that even possible that a governor didn't achieve a single thing?

Tinubu performed as Lagos state governor, he's performing as Nigeria president because it takes political balls to make some of his policies and reforms.

Why are prices and inflation still high? He hasn't achieved anything yet as long as prices of fuel and everything remains high. The fact that he wasted trillions on a coastal road that is not necessarily should be very concerning

If Peter Obi did not have achievements as reference even for the fact that he governed a state for good 8 years, why should we believe his words?

How is it possible that a governor didn't achieve a single thing? Is this really possible? Do you think you are making sense?

helinues:
They don't vote based on tribe yet Peter Obi received over 70% of the votes from South East?

Didn't you see the reference image I attached? Didn't Igbos give Obasanjo 86% and then gave him 65% the second time even when Ojukwu was running as well? Igbos also gave Yar'Adua 90% even when Ojukwu was also running. If Igbos vote tribal then they would have given 99% of their votes to Ojukwu

What was his achievements as Anambra state governor to have warranted such margin of votes in South East?

What kind of stupid question is this? Even the worst governor will definitely achieve some things. Anambra is not as rich as Dubai so don't expect him to turn Anambra to Dubai.

Peter Obi is not popular today because of achievements. Peter Obi wasn't previously as popular as he is today. He only got popular after he spoke convincingly to the masses. There is a way someone will approach you and present his case to you and you will realize the person is worth giving a chance. He has spoken to Nigerians in such a way that made us convinced that he has leaned a lot about governance and he intends to do better than the past.

Your Tinubu built Lagos but people still hate him. Why hasn't Tinubu's "achievements" in Lagos worked for him in governing Nigeria?

helinues:
We no dey expect reasonable votes from South East. Keep the votes

I am glad you didn't deny that Igbos don't vote based on tribe. That's why this post is all about.

South East dey vote based on competency yet the 3 senators representing Abia state have been there for a decade plus with no tangible things to point out to as achievements. Abaribe, Orji Kalu, and the Kalu Deputy senate leader..

At least make una dey listen to una own waka songs before releasing them to the public

If all the candidates available are zombies then voters wouldn't have a choice but to vote for a lesser zombie who is still a zombie.

The voting pattern of Igbos actually proves that Igbos will vote massively for Tinubu if he was really competent.

Some people say Igbos are supporting Peter Obi because he is Igbo. But when you check the voting pattern of Igbos in the attached image you will see that it doesn't follow tribal affiliation. The voting pattern shows that Igbos always to try to vote for the best candidate among the available options irrespective of tribe.

In the 2003 election, Ojukwu was on the ballot but Igbos still gave Obasanjo 65% of their votes while Ojukwu only got 28%.

In the 2007 election, Ojukwu was on the ballot again together with Orji Uzor Kalu, Igbos still gave Yar'Adua 90% of their votes and rejected Ojukwu and Orji Uzor Kalu.

In the 2011 election, Goodluck Jonathan and Buhari were the major candidates and Igbos gave Jonathan 93% of their votes because they believed Jonathan was the better candidate. Their belief that Jonathan was the better candidate has been proven since we all saw how things started getting worse after Buhari took over from Jonathan.

In 2023 Peter Obi is getting the massive votes from the south east simply because Igbos believe he is the best among the available options and not because he is Igbo. If Igbos have rejected Ojukwu and Orji Uzor Kalu in the past elections then Peter Obi would have faced the same rejection if he wasn't a better option. This doesn't mean Peter Obi is flawless. It simply means the other options are not better. If you replace Tinubu with Osinbajo then it becomes a different story. Osinbajo will make Peter Obi sweat for South east votes.

Considering the voting pattern of Igbos it is safe to say Tinubu is being rejected in the south east simply because he is not the best option and not because he is Yoruba.

seunmsg:
Can you mention the 25 states you are very sure Atiku and Obi can get 25% from. Separately please. I can mention that of Tinubu if you want.

I am making my projection with the assumption that the election will be free and fair. If the election will be rigged then it becomes invalid.

Considering Tinubu's low approval rating, Atiku can easily get about 25% in the 19 northern states. Which means he would only need 6 more Southern states to get 25% which is very achievable.

Peter Obi can also easily achieve 25% in the 17 southern states. But getting 25% in 6 northern states will be a challenge. But he might be lucky to get it.

helinues:
So what evidence do you have about Apc planning to rig the 2027 election.

What's the purpose of 32 governors in Apc and the aggressive campaign by the grassroot mobilizers if rigging plan is in place?

I have no evidence at the moment that APC will rig. The evidence will be available after the election. If Tinubu wins then it will obviously be the evidence that APC rigged, because Tinubu is very unpopular and many Nigerians are dissatisfied with him. He can't win reelection if it is free and fair. The north will rather vote for Atiku and the south east and south South will vote for Peter Obi. Peter Obi will even slice off some part of Tinubu's south west votes.

The 32 APC governors mean absolutely nothing if the masses are dissatisfied with Tinubu. The governors can only help to rig the election for Tinubu.

FSBoperator:
Your people are scattered all over SW not just Lagos

I can say with full confidence that outside your SE, SW hosts the largest population of your people .

You can't do without SW .

Are people from South West not also in other areas of the country and outside Nigeria? I don't understand the way most of you reason here with Low IQs.

It isn’t easy to become wealthy, & stay wealthy.

I don't agree with you. Then why are the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer? Once you are rich you will always have the capital to carry out multiple business ventures with at least one of them excelling even if the rest fails.

favor914:
Well nothing that the present opposition is doing today, to demonstrate that they are serious.

The only serious contenders in the general election is the incumbent President Tinubu & Sowore that doesn’t stand a chance.

The rest are just a bunch of political clowns, jumping from one political party to the other, who would retire from politics, or would return back to their mother hen party the Pdp by this time next year.

What exactly is Sowore and Tinubu doing that Peter Obi and Atiku is not doing to show seriousness?

PDPdestroyer:
At least, Tinubu can win if he rigs, Obi couldn’t even win in 2023 despite the heavy rigging they did for him in the SE. That’s to tell you how much he’s unelectable

Tinubu's rigging was across all regions while Peter Obi's rigging was only a single region. Whoever rigs nationwide will definitely carry the day.

helinues:
In 2023 election, South East region was the most rigged.

Could you tell us the beneficiary of that rigging?

I am not condoning rigging no matter who it favours.

seunmsg:
Answer the question when you're ready for a sincere discussion.

Atiku or Peter Obi are the candidates that can attain 25% in at least 25 states if Tinubu doesn't rig. Tinubu is very unpopular to win fairly.

seunmsg:
Apart from Tinubu, mention one candidate with the capacity to get the highest number of votes and 25% of total vote cast in at least 25 states.

What do you mean by "capacity"? Is it capacity to win it in a free and fair election or capacity to win it through rigging?

Tinubu obviously doesn't have the capacity to win it in a fee and fair election. I will only agree he has the capacity through rigging.

favor914:
No need to rig, there is no serious opposition candidate contesting in the general election next year.

What exactly do you mean saying "serious"? What do you think a candidate should do to demonstrate seriousness?

Stop collecting the gifts when you know he wants something from you which you can't deliver.

No matter the millions he invested in her, he has no little right to do what he did, I hope he rot in jail and spend the rest of his miserable life there

We shouldn't put people in situations where they will lose their minds or do something horrific. Everybody can't restrain themselves in such situations. You better play safe and mind the way you treat people.

Tinubu is really unpopular and isn't supposed to win reelection in a free and fair contest. But rigging is the solution that can guarantee him victory and a second term. Many people are upset with Tinubu and campaigning against him. But all the anger and campaigns against him will be a waste of time if he still has the ability to rig. This means the battle at hand should be all about fighting against rigging. That is what we should mainly be talking about 24/7. Unfortunately I don't see people putting in effort and plans to prevent rigging. If we can defeat rigging then we will automatically start having better leaders. The average person says the problem with Nigeria is bad leadership. But how can we have good leaders when bad leaders can always rig themselves in and keep wrecking the country? Defeating rigging should come first before we start debating about who should be the right person to get elected.

What can we do to defeat rigging?
