Putinofrussia:
To lead them to where?
Agulu or where,sir?
He was a disaster when he governed Anambra for 8 years.
What changed?

Tinubu that turned Lagos to New York what has he achieved?

Chiedu4Trump:
When Okonjo ran Nija Ministry of Finance we paid off our debts.
When Dora Akunyili ran NAFDAC it was formidable
Now Adaora Umeoji has turned Zenith into a power house.

Its becoming obvious why some people are scared of Igbos leaving Nija

Why are you guys always trying too hard to prove you are best? Who did this to you guys?

Mariangeles:
That's it!

Learn skills that computers and robots cannot do, otherwise, you're eff'd!

Are humanoid robots a joke to you? Humanoid robots are currently being trained to do everything.

NATIONALPASTOR:
You're Yoruba, don't deny your tribe for frivolous reasons.

Stop pretending like your tribe is flawless. It's shameful that Igbos are the prominent tribe in Nigeria traffic drugs. When we admit there is a problem it helps us find solutions and improve ourselves.

I really wish to find out why majority of the drug traffickers caught are usually Igbo. Where exactly is this community of drug traffickers coming from? Or is there a ring leader that grooms these drug traffickers? Who has an explanation about this?

Slippy:
Being landlocked is not the end of the world.....Austria, Switzerland, etc

Being with those south south tribes and you may still end up like Nigeria - tribalism, Igbophobia, etc that will result to quota system (a.k.a kakistocracy), corruption, etc

Make everybody answer their papa name.

The truth is that if you are not yet matured to live with other tribes then you can't live with yourselves. You will still fight within yourselves.

Slippy:
Igbos deserve to have their own country where they can truly flourish unencumbered ...... sheesh

I prefer Igbos being in a country with the south south states. I don't want Igbos to be in a small land locked country.

Kingsley34:
Unrelated but I think women genuinely respect men that are sexually perverted.

What proof do you have to support that statement?

oyeb15:
Rotimi Ameachi is a result oriented pragmatic leader. Ameachi has stakeholders. People from APC/PDP, the Buhari's men, disgruntled members of APC.
He's a quiet strategist. Tested and delivered.

Ameachi is 'Mr I will '. He doesn't joke with his promise. Very powerful administrator.

Una don start again. What happened to the current master strategist in Ask Rock?

Cajal:
Desperados running from pillar to pillar
Nothing upstairs

He won along the ibo/Christian bet across the country due to mu -mu tickets

This time around, he will be disgraced

Peter Obi is still as popular as before and he would win considerable votes as before.

Stephen0mozzy:
Mehn!! I pray for my balls everyday - that they bear 3 strong and courageous boys.

But not boys that will grow up to be a disgrace like the man in the video sha.

Research shows that female children are less likely to abandon their aging parents than male children. Women support and care for their aging parents than men. You will get old some day and need your female children's support. Just ensure you train your female children properly.

ProudlyLagos:
😂😂 you are indeed very slow……continue shifting goal posts, now it it aside from Lagos…..so Lagos is the only Sw state along Lagos/Ibadan and Benin ore road? And I guess you read the post I pasted where Senator Gbenga Daniel acknowledged the fact that Sw accounts for 21% of Nigeria total population, or Lagos is the only state in Sw? Like I said you can continue to shift goal post and continue living in denial…..this will be my last response to you…..shalom

Lagos is the commercial centre of Nigeria so there should be no big surprises if Easterners move to Lagos to take advantage of the bustling commercial activity. But I want proof that Easterners are also moving to other parts of South west in large numbers as you claim.
Gbenga Daniel saying anything is still not proof that Easterners are moving to every south west state in large numbers. Lagos State alone could gulp majority of the 21% population and the remaining would be majority Yorubas in other south west states

ProudlyLagos:
you are indeed very funny…….do you even need a verifiable data to prove the migration of people from east to west to tell you the obvious truth which you know yourself? Lagos Ibadan and Benin ore express road is the busiest inter state road in the country and if you are intelligent enough, you will find your answer and ask yourself the question, which mass transit buses ply that axis the most? like I said, you can continue to feign ignorance and keep living in denial like they say, you can’t wake a man, pretending to be sleeping

I told you to exclude Lagos and show data that proves there is migration towards other south west regions apart from Lagos. Your response is still including Lagos by accounting for all road traffic into the south west. Please show verifiable data the there is huge migration into other Yoruba states excluding Lagos.

ProudlyLagos:
🤣🤣🤣🤣muumu, keep shifting goal post, i responded to your comment because you made a false claim that ibos only migrate to Lagos which is a false claim which you know…..now you are now telling us you don’t know the number and Sw is not paradise bla bla Bla😂😂 nwOSU, the truth still remains that that Sw is the most developed and most economically viable region of the country that’s why the trend of migration is from east to west which is a testament to our economic prowess which drive migration because people migrate because of economic reasons and in search of greener pasture……aside from Lagos, Ogun and oyo state host a lot of industries and multinationals, so is that a surprise to you or rocket science that’s such a region will attract migrants? Continue play ostrich and feign ignorance like I told you I have been to your region and I not a novice and I know the economic disparity between the 2 region and the trend of migration from east to west have proven that, so you can continue lying to yourself shalom

I admit that I made a mistake saying Igbos only migrate to Lagos since I didn't use any verifiable data to support my statement. So the question I wish to ask you at this point is this: What verifiable data do you have to prove that Easterners are migrating to other regions in the south west apart from Lagos?

ProudlyLagos:
😂😂😂otondo, see you contradicting yourself, ibo travel everywhere yet you told us you all travel to Lagos😂😂😂 nWOSU the total population of Yorubas in the entire 5plot region is not even up to your numbers in Ibadan alone, not to talk of Lagos and other Sw state……for your info, I served in owerri and did my camp in Umuna bende abia state and I could count the number of Yorubas I met on my daily routine, mostly corpers even the Hausas have far greater population in ibo land than Yorubas, so stop deluding yourself

The truth is that I am not aware of the exact numbers of Yorubas in the south east or Igbos in South West and where exactly the population is concentrated. But the fact is that Igbos being in Ibadan or Ile Ife isn't necessarily because south west is paradise. They just wanted to take advantage of business opportunities in a region outside theirs. That's what businessmen do.

Predictor3:
You are not telling yourself the truth. Your people are all over the SW. Ibadan used to have more ibos until the 80s. Ibadan is still home to many of your people and their businesses

ProudlyLagos:
🤣🤣🤣indeed, is that the lie you tell yourself? Ibadan is the biggest city in SW after Lagos, take a trip to Ibadan and see the millions of your blodas not to talk of other cities like Abeokuta, akure and other hinterland of Yorubaland……continue deceiving yourself NwOSU 😂😂😂

There are Yorubas in the south east as well. What the hell are you talking like your people are not in other regions?

Igbos are known for travelling everywhere for business. Igbos are also in the North in substantial numbers. So stop talking like Igbos come to south west because your region is paradise.

math2001:
Allocation to south east 2025

When did south south become part of South East?

Peperipepe:
Yes that's why they keep coming to South West. We do all the work of making the area conducive for everyone. while some other people come and install Kings.

They only come to Lagos and not the whole south west. They come to Lagos because the federal government made Lagos the commercial capital of Nigeria.

citizenY:
Please bring AI to the polling booth on election day. We go try something.

Rigging is your only sure way of winning the elections. Let the election be free and fair let's try something.

Rhino5dm:
Everybody? Are you high in cheap grass? Until you show me how Peter Obi moved Anambra forward. Peter Obi is the worst governor of all time in Anambra. I know that place like the back of my hand.

akpumping7720:
No mind data boys. They have short memories on how he moved Anambra forward

Oga check the responses from the AI platforms I posted above. They mentioned how Peter Obi moved Anambra forward. Don't reason lazily.

helinues:
Sebi you people did not learn a thing from the 2023 election where Peter Obi won almost all the online poll but in reality he came third with heavy rigging

I am glad you mentioned heavy rigging. You also forgot to mention votes from uneducated people and those who sold their votes. If only the election will be free and fair and only educated people are voting, Tinubu will have no chance against Peter Obi. The reason Peter Obi won Lagos and Abuja is because Lagos and Abuja are places with a high concentration of educated people.

Atlantis585:
Nigerian military and muscle flexing for the wrong people at the wrong time.

Every criminal in SE now is branded IPOB/ESN.

And yet they can’t go find and bomb the terrorists that are controlling Morthern Nigeria now, killed a general last week while also holding more than 400 fellow Nigerians captive?

Spits on their asses.

Kewekubosineh:
Nigeria Army could do better.

The real hotspot is Northeast where officers and Men are daily being killed. Not southeast.

I think highlighting the ipob/ESN victories is deflecting the real issue at hand: The war in Northeast!

Nigerian Army needs radical shake up to make it more effective and combat readiness.

postigar:
Mumu army
Expel book harem, then we can talk.
Dem go dey carry shoulder up when dem hear ipob/esn
This country and the entire security network is a bloody joke

LordLicifer:
When are they going to strike at the boko haram strongholds?

jozee8:
For East na Army dey strike, but for North na terrorists dey strike. Talk of tales of a two nations

Prospero56:
Can you guys display such superior firepower power against Fulani terrorist? You go after some criminal elements in the eastern bushes and tag them "IPBO terrorist". shameless military.

Dumfrank:
Is this news delusional or what?
Up north is where this energy is highly required. My neighbour an army captain young and vibrant soul was killed last week in Borno state by Bokoharam,'where he was stationed.

It's heart breaking at the rate young soldiers are being killed.

BrightAhiah99:
When will NA summons same courage to strike this unfortunate terrorists now rebranded as bandit's that is causing mayhem to the Northern part's of Nigeria?

kingxo88:
They will always have power to kill innocent people in the South all in the name of Ipob, but when it comes to the boys in the North, they run and hide. Why can't the so called Army engage those rag tags in the North with the same energy?

FEGNO:
It is only in the South East that the Army has power. After that, then on civilians. Beyond these two, they are on the defensive every other place. In the North East, they are losing even Generals. But only in the South East do they do Python dance. In the North nah Skelewu runaway dance

MrEar:
Are you serious?

Why don't they have this kind of superior firepower when fighting Boko Haram in the north?




What about the INSANITY going on in the north? When are we going to hear of Operation Northern Sanity because every week somebody must ☠️ kpai over there.




Unrelenting and fully committed when fighting "IPOB/ESN" but weak, useless and cowardly when fighting Boko Haram/ISWAP.

Abeg, let us hear word! Be there using easterners to flex your mosquito muscle.

buygala:
Good one

Na Ipob dey slaughter Brigadier Generals and Colonels en-masse innit

One would think the army will presently be more focused on avenging its fallen senior officers who have lost their lives in the North in rather very embarrassing circumstances ..

I am a Patriot to the core who has always been supporting our armed forces..but isn't it time that someone tells these Army people that their Python is dancing in the wrong place?

Gallant officer go dance python finish for Imo only for ISWAP to later dance python on him in Borno ...

The Nigerian army is working hard in the North. But you guys need to understand that Boko Haram and other terrorists in the North are a much larger and more equipped force than IPOB. The landmass in the North is large and it made it easier for terrorists to hide in remote locations and it is more difficult to access those remote locations. IPOB is small in a smaller landmass and it is easier to get intelligence regarding their hideouts and move to the location to combat them.

ReturnMan:
What about the terrorists up North

Are you not seeing the news of soldiers dieing while fighting terrorists? You guys always comment nonsense.

whitebeard:
u are not any better...u are all frauds

That's how tinubu was shouting during Jonathan era about dollar to naira rate now same tinubu in power, he even promised to fix nigeria light problem in under how many years, now see dollar to naira rate under him, power generation keeps getting worse.

Obi just dey shout up and down...put him there and he would be giving excuses..

These people have no plan, no doctrines, no believes, no principle...just emi lokan vibes and inshallah.

Obi that was hinting he would sell nigeria to America...telling me he would allow American troops into nigeria...this is someone who would at then be the commander-in -chief of the largest army in Africa...telling ME he would let another country soldiers on nigeria soil...brooooo wtf are you. Just buhari 2.0 wey dey disguise.

So what solution are you offering? You want Tinubu to remain in power?

I asked AI platforms to choose between Peter Obi and Tinubu and ChatGPT, Grok and Meta AI clearly choose Peter Obi over Tinubu. Gemini refused to make a choice because it obviously didn't want to offend agbadorians.

These AI platforms are very good at analyzing data and making accurate judgements most times. If Grok, ChatGPT and Meta AI were built in Nigeria maybe we would have said the Nigerian owners were obedients and they skewed their responses to favour Peter Obi. But I am glad the platforms were created by people who don't give a fvck about Nigerian politics and wouldn't waste their time trying make the AI platforms become obidients.

I asked the AI platforms the following question:
Between Bola Tinubu and Peter Obi who will you prefer as president of Nigeria if you must choose one?


Here is chatgpt's response:

If I must choose one, I’d go with Peter Obi—but let me be very clear about why, and also the trade-offs.

Why I’d choose Peter Obi
My choice is based on long-term governance quality, not short-term political strength:
Fiscal discipline: His record in Anambra shows careful spending, saving, and lower debt
Accountability style: He tends to explain decisions with data and numbers
Focus on production: He emphasizes moving Nigeria from consumption to production (which is critical for real growth)
Lower “old-system” baggage: He represents a break from entrenched political networks
In a country like Nigeria, where waste, corruption, and inefficiency are major problems, that kind of approach matters a lot.
But here’s the honest downside
Choosing Obi comes with real risks:
He may struggle to push reforms without strong political backing
Nigeria’s system often resists “clean” governance without power alliances
Being principled doesn’t always translate to being effective at the federal level
Why not Bola Tinubu?
Bola Tinubu has clear strengths:
Strong political machinery
Ability to take bold decisions (like subsidy removal)
But:
His reforms have caused significant hardship for many Nigerians
He represents the existing political structure, which many people feel needs change.

Final Thought
My choice (Obi) is essentially a bet on:
“Fix the system first, even if progress is slower”
Whereas choosing Tinubu is more like:
“Use power to force change, even if it’s painful”



Here is Meta AI's response:

If I must pick one, I'd go with Peter Obi.

Here's why I land there: For a choice like this, I'd weigh 3 things — economic track record, institutional reform stance, and ability to build broad coalitions.

Peter Obi built his brand on fiscal prudence, public data transparency, and anti-waste messaging. As Anambra governor 2006-2014, he left cash savings, cleared pension arrears, and pushed MDGs-related projects. His 2023 campaign centered on moving Nigeria from "consumption to production" and cutting cost of governance. Supporters see him as the cleaner-break candidate on accountability and youth engagement.

Bola Tinubu has the stronger record of building political structures and executing large-scale projects. As Lagos governor 1999-2007, he grew IGR significantly and laid groundwork for BRT, Lekki Free Trade Zone, and other infrastructure. He’s an experienced coalition-builder who played a central role in forming the APC. Since May 2023 he’s pushed subsidy removal and FX reforms — tough policies with long-term goals but short-term inflation pain.

So if forced to pick based on stated priorities of reducing waste, fiscal discipline, and appealing to younger demographics frustrated with status-quo governance, I’d choose Obi. If the priority were political machine experience and willingness to take unpopular structural reforms quickly, the case would flip to Tinubu.

Neither choice is perfect — Nigeria’s problems are structural and bigger than any one person. Both men have strengths and clear baggage their opponents cite.



Here is Grok's response:

If forced to choose between Bola Tinubu and Peter Obi as president of Nigeria right now, I would pick Peter Obi.Here's my reasoning, based on their records, styles, and what Nigeria needs most:Peter Obi's Strengths (Why I Lean Toward Him)Fiscal discipline and prudence: As governor of Anambra (2006–2014), Obi was notably frugal. He avoided reckless borrowing, left substantial savings (tens of billions of naira plus foreign currency reserves) for his successor, and turned Anambra into one of Nigeria's least indebted and most financially stable states. He prioritized human capital—education (Anambra topped national exams under him), health partnerships with missions, and basic infrastructure—without flashy debt-fueled projects.

Anti-corruption and efficiency focus: Obi consistently emphasizes cutting waste, reducing governance costs, fighting corruption, and shifting from consumption to production. His rhetoric and past actions suggest a lean-government mindset that could redirect savings toward productive investments rather than patronage.
Appeal to productivity and youth: He attracts support from those tired of entrenched systems, with a track record of poverty mapping, supporting local industry (e.g., Innoson Motors), and measurable improvements in security and education during his tenure.
Temperament: He comes across as more measured, data-driven, and less tied to the big-spending political machine that has dominated Nigerian governance.

Nigeria's core problems—endemic corruption, elite capture, inefficiency, and a culture of borrowing/spending without matching productivity—require someone who treats public money like their own business capital. Obi's Anambra model aligns more closely with that.

Bola Tinubu's Record (Strengths and Weaknesses)Transformational scale in Lagos: As governor (1999–2007), Tinubu dramatically grew Lagos's internally generated revenue (from ~₦600 million/month to billions), built infrastructure, reformed revenue systems, introduced innovations like LASTMA for traffic, and laid foundations that made Lagos Nigeria's economic engine. He attracted talent and showed bold vision.

Reform boldness as president: Since 2023, Tinubu has implemented tough, long-overdue changes—removing fuel subsidies, unifying exchange rates, and pursuing fiscal resets. By 2025–2026, these have shown signs of stabilizing: GDP growth projections above 4%, inflation declining (below 15% by some reports), rising reserves, and increased investor interest. These are painful short-term but necessary for long-term market orientation.

Political experience and network: He has deep executive experience, built institutions, and can navigate Nigeria's complex power structures.

However, Tinubu's approach often involves heavy spending, political patronage, and a big-government style. Under his presidency so far, Nigeria has faced severe cost-of-living crises, persistent insecurity (still ranked high on global terrorism indices), high debt servicing burdens, and criticism that reforms have hit the poor hardest without enough immediate productivity gains or anti-corruption depth. Governance costs and elite spending remain concerns.Tinubu excels at scaling systems and bold disruption, but the results so far show mixed outcomes with significant hardship, and his Lagos model doesn't always translate cleanly to a diverse, poorer national scale where basic prudence matters more.Key Trade-Offs for Nigeria TodayShort-term pain vs. long-term discipline: Tinubu's reforms are delivering some macroeconomic stabilization, but at huge social cost. Obi might move slower on "big bang" changes but avoid deepening inequality or debt traps through tighter controls.
Vision vs. execution: Tinubu has proven he can build and expand (Lagos evidence). Obi has proven he can save, stabilize, and improve human development metrics without bloating the state.
Corruption and waste: Both face Nigeria's systemic issues, but Obi's personal and gubernatorial style signals stronger personal commitment to cutting waste—critical when debt servicing crowds out health/education.
Unity and trust: Obi polled strongly with younger, urban, and educated voters pre-2023; Tinubu's base is more established political networks. Trust in leadership matters for buy-in on reforms.

Nigeria desperately needs competence + integrity + productivity focus over charisma or machine politics. It needs leaders who treat the treasury as a scarce resource, not an ATM for allies. Obi's record of leaving savings, prioritizing education/health, and advocating efficiency edges him out in a forced binary choice. Tinubu's boldness is valuable, but the current national trajectory under him (high hardship despite growth signals) suggests the execution risks outweigh the upsides here.This isn't hero-worship—both have flaws, and no single leader fixes Nigeria's deep structural problems (federalism issues, insecurity, institutions). Real progress requires better systems, not just one president. But if I must pick one today, Peter Obi gets my nod for his demonstrated restraint and alignment with fixing the fundamentals of waste and misallocation.

grandiose4ever:
Lol this Erdogan thinks Israel is northern Cyprus or Greece. Maybe in his head, he thinks he can start trouble like when he shot at Russia and ran like a cry baby to NATO and US for help.

A country that fought Iran and didn't lose a single war plane, whereas it's American allies - the strongest military on earth lost some. That tells you, you are about to pick on the most combat tested experienced airforce in the world.

BTW, iran is mar more a stronger enemy to Israel because it has asymmetric capabilities like Hamas, Hezbollah and a chokehold on strait of hormuz. Turkey has nothing to blackmail Israel with.

Just remember the following.

1. NATO will not save you.
2. Ankara will not have a airforce and it's navy will be half gone when this misadventure of attacking Israel is over with.

Sam0:
Small yansh dey shake.

Check this ranking and see that the Turkish military is ranked stronger than the Israeli military.

Ask him the meaning of subsidy unprepared and see stameri.

The day he was asked on Arise TV what he will do differently if he's president really exposed him as empty. Nothing to offer.

Which interviews has Tinubu attended?

ERockson:
Peter Obi is not a sincere politician from all ramifications. His IQ is too low to even rule over a local government in Nigeria. I have listened to Obi interview countless times, he is not intelligent at all. No Employer can recruit employee that fails woefully. He has never answered any questions intelligently since he desperately willing to govern the country

He is still 1000% percent better than Tinubu. He is better than Tinubu who avoids Interviews.

DoTheNeedful:
The Niger Delta people moved on faster from Jonathan's 2015 defeat than our South East brothers. Tinubu, who lead the campaign against Jonathan then, even got almost 40% of the votes in the Niger Delta in 2023.

The Easterners are yet to forgive Tinubu. Funny enough, they seem to have forgiven the other people that campaigned against Jonathan in 2015, but not Tinubu and the SW. People like Saraki, Dino Melaye, Amaechi, Atiku, El rufai, and so on seem to have been forgiven by our Eastern brothers. I honestly don't know why?

What the hell do you mean by saying "Forgive"? Tinubu did not offend Igbos so you shouldn't be talking about forgiveness. What Igbos are saying is that Tinubu is not the best person for the job. You want Igbos to start ass licking Tinubu for you to say he has been "forgiven"? You are just not making any sense.
