Thinkam:
Before you come in here all furious and whatnot, Remember Buhari was Re-elected Despite his Underwhelming Performance.

The people that elected Buhari are still alive and readily available to vote another failure.

Those decieving themselves that they'll be no repercussions for the Activities of IPOB, even if the rest of the south Forgets, The yoruba Muslims and Northern Muslims will never forget.

Go to Facebook Forums (housing Muslims of Yoruba and Northern descent and see how Peter Obi is being crowned as the Leader of IPOB), the best place to get next to real analysis is Facebook, not Twitter or Instagram, Facebook.

The chances today of power coming to the south is 40%, even if the north chooses to support any southern candidate it's obviously Tinubu.

If you believe that the failure and bad governance shown by Buhari and APC, will for any reason influence northerners or Muslims not to vote Another Muslim or Northerner, wake up from your delusion!.

Nigerians will definitely vote along tribal and religious lines in 2023 even worse than they did in 2015 and 2019.

Igbos have only two options, collectively push for self-determination(starting now, not after the 2023 election) , or Support one of the two major candidates (I suggest Atiku for obvious reasons) .

Peter Obi doesn't stand a chance of winning, don't Labour In Vain, Don't be dragged into further disrepute...

Selah

Why are you talking about IPOB when Nigeria has been marginalising Igbos since the civil war?

Don't pretend that anti-Igbo sentiments haven't existed in Nigeria since pre-civil ear days.

omenka:
We don tell them tire, but they'd never listen. Pandora will come a distant FOURTH in the race, that's, if he doesn't chicken out in the middle of the contest just like he did the primary.

I'm sure that Peter Obi is doing much better than you and others who think like you. In fact, I'm sure that all of those contest for the presidency are doing better than you people.

Win or lose, they, their children and their grandchildren will still be richer than anything you can imagine. They will be able to flee abroad should any trouble come to the country. They will never have to worry about members of their family travelling to Libya, getting raped and becoming slaves just for a chance at a better life. You will though, and so will most other Nigerians.

Yet here you are, making fun of this man who (from the looks of things) actually wants to break the wheel of corruption and poverty that has ravaged your country.

Honestly, sometimes I think you people deserve your terrible leadership.

Kwankwaso is just confirming what we've known for a long time: the real reason why a lot of Nigerians don't want an Igbo man to be president is because they fear that he will make it easier for everyone to go their own way.

It's not because Igbos are tribalistic. It's not because Igbos love money too much. It's not because Igbos are politically naive.

It's because they believe that an Igbo man would stop them from having access to that oil money again.

fyneguy:


Lol Is PO not in LP? So what applies to defectors to LP, does not apply to Obi?

You be learner oo

Read the actual quotes in the article and you will see that Soludo is referring to those APGA members who have recently defected to the Labour Party.

He is talking about a certain subset of recently joined Labour Party members, not Peter Obi and not the party as a whole.

If you were at my company for 10 years and decided to move to another company, would it be bad of me to tell you that you leaving is like labouring in vain due to all the hard work you've already put in at my company?

What he said was not an insult.

daddytime:
Even if the heading is sensationalist there are still some attitude and utterances unbecoming of someone as educated as Soludo that you can't believe he didn't utter from this report.


This one sef wey person been think say get sense small don join their style of politics come begin dey reason and talk like dem.

There's something inherently rotten about the version of politics played here in Nigeria.

Even Peter Obi sef been sell him conscience at some point in his life for this same politics...

It's not just sensationalist, it's completely wrong. Soludo was talking about APGA defectors to the Labour Party in his state, not Peter Obi. He said that them leaving after already having done so much work in the party is basically "labouring in vain".

It had nothing to do with what was in the title.

press9jatv:


https://www.google.com/amp/s/thenationonlineng.net/soludo-mocks-peter-obi-says-lp-ll-labour-in-vain/amp/

According to your link, Soludo didn't say what you claim in the title. He was talking about the recent APGA defectors to the Labour Party in his state.

Didn't @Seun recently complain about some newspaper using a misleading headline about Tinubu recently?

Is this not the same thing? Why has this been brought to the front page?

@Mynd44

Islandlady:
I couldn't get that link but here is a video of him in 2018 saying he did not own any house except in Onisha!

https://twitter.com/tosinadeda/status/1052319587742699520?t=0gvNWquBr9PgFyJnBSRoag&s=19

He said: "the only place I have a house [in Nigeria] is in Onitsha".

That was in late 2018. Do you have proof that he actually owned a house in Lagos in 2018? If so then I believe that you are right that he lied about this. If not, however, then that just doesn't prove anything.

Islandlady:
Chai gullible people...I will attach a post from 2017 here on Nl that it was posted that confirms it!

By the way you were the one that was Bragging about you been in abroad in the other post naa like a newbie, is not a special inferiority complex!

Now please post where Peter says he has never lived in Lagos.

Islandlady:
OMG what kind of a person are you? That convoy was not only Tinubu's own, it was a combination of other notable dignitaries, governors convoy that's why it was massive! I did not look down on Peter obi the main aim of this post is to call out his lies that he did not own a house in Lagos!!

Well can you see the image of Joe Biden convoy how long it is? And how the road was cleared so he can pass?

Did you even read my comment?

Yes, I'm fully aware that presidents in the West have covoys. That's not the issue though. The issue is making people wait for three whole hours just so that they can pass a road. You claim that you've travelled all over so tell me, have you ever seen that in a civilised country before?

Islandlady:
Chai gullible people...I will attach a post from 2017 here on Nl that it was posted that confirms it!

Me? A newbie? Please sit down.

I'm not bragging that I've been abroad. I was born and bred in a western country and have been a citizen since birth. This isn't bragging, it's just stating facts.

The fact that you think someone stating that they live abroad is bragging is hilarious.

Islandlady:
Hanty rest your blood too dey hot! you like trouble. . .this is just a normal post no big deal

It actually is. You support politicians having huge convoys where they make people wait for three hours just to pass but seem to look down on a politician choosing to walk with minimal security.

What does this show you?

Islandlady:
He said that on his official Twitter page...I couldn't get that link sha! Sometimes you guys should try and research and also question your leaders! Miss Abroad

Well, if it's as you said and he claims that he doesn't have a house in Lagos then what makes you think that by showing a picture of him walking with a friend in that city in 2017, means that he lives there?

Btw, I'm laughing at you attempting to make fun of the fact that I live abroad. Just goes to show your inferiority complex .

Islandlady:
But shebi him and his supporters said he did not have any house in Lagos make una small small they lie sha!

We need to question and criticize our leaders not just accept their lies and whatever they say! That is why they are leaders! Pls don't be a gullible zombie followers!

Did Peter Obi say that he does not have a house in Lagos?

Islandlady:
Mr. Peter Obi, A presidential candidate, was seen walking back to his home in ikoyi with a friend on Lekki-ikoyi link brigde in 2017! As his convoy and security aides comes behind him!
See pictures Below;

Are you not the same person that was lambasting me for criticising those APC politicians and their convoy? How can you do that and then come and post this only an hour later?

NetValueFX:

You didn't see the person that said Igbo will not rule Nigeria to reply akwaya?

Yes, my comment was to both of you, sorry if that was not clear.

This needs to be brought to the front page. That, and the fact that there are numerous pro-Tinubu bots running around.

@OAM4J @Mynd44

Ayoolamax:
point of correction no body is risking the life of anybodys future , since 1963 till date no be the same noise we they shout up and down , answer me , and everybody is entitled to his or her family problem, What am telling u is that , we can all have a dialogue without abusing the leaders that is what am telling u , in Yoruba land we value the culture and we respect our elders , and we also respect our self , is not until u call me name before I understand what u want to tell me or says and is not until I abuse u before u understand my point , I think that should be the best thing and way to go .

Yes, there is nothing wrong with having a dialogue and in my Igbo culture, we also respect our elders. For example, if my elder is sitting down and I am coming to greet him/her, I will bend down to their level. There is a lot about Igbo culture that Yoruba people do not know, which is why you make assumptions that we are disrespectful to our elders.

No, we just understand that everyone, even a day old baby is worthy of respect as a human being. You cannot disregard a youth just because they are younger than you.

We have a saying in Igbo that translates to: "a youth that has travelled and seen things is more knowledgeable than an elder who has sat at home."

So, if I see an elder acting in a way that they should not be, I will call it out. A thief is a thief, no matter their age.

Ayoolamax:
that is why the so call democracy was applicable to everyone, u can't force me to follow ur way , Eveybody has his or her own opinion , and I don't think that should be a problem , but if some ppl now want to be acting as if they are saint or to force ppl to do there bidding , my dear it can not work that way , let discuss the issue of naija in a good manner and not by abusing some of the leaders, no it can be done that way. Thanks

Nobody is forcing you to do anything. Is anyone holding a gun to your head?

Vote for Tinubu, Atiku, Obi or whoever. It's up to you. Just remember that it's yours and children’s futures that are at risk here.

Ayoolamax:
yeah because u never respect the opinion of other ppl, but u want ppl to respect urs or force it on them .

Why should I respect the opinion of someone who wants Nigerians to continue to suffer? Am I wicked?

NetValueFX:

Neither will Yoruba rule this country ever again!

Why are Nigerians like this? Who cares if an Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa man/woman is running the country as long as they're competent?

Just cutting your nose to spite your face.

LegendHero:


One would think Obi Pandora turned Anambra to Dubai when he government with all this useless hype from his Meth addicts fans.

You won't find anyone in Anambra who's complained about Peter Obi's tenure as governor. He was one of the best governors the state has ever had. Before him, Anambra had a lot of security issues and he helped to curtail most of them. He left behind more money in the states treasury than he found when he first came in. Please do your own research on this if you don't believe me.

God save Nigeria from corrupt old men like this.

zelnababa:
ATIKU THAT CANNOT CAMPAIGN

Why would he need to campaign when he's busy dashing people money?

Richieniit:



What's ur problem You're what we call a sell out!!! You noticed how tribalism is surging and still as an igbo you contributed to it. Ok what if the man has a life time appointment, needs to take his kid to hospital or something important to do nko? Wait 3hrs just so someone can pass C'on have sense pls

Thank you! The people supporting this have no value for human life. This is the worst period in Nigeria's history (yes, even worse than the civil war, where the only people really affected were those in Edo state and the old Eastern Region) yet you still have people who want more of the same.

Atiku is a proven thief and Tinubu has already told us that he is the reason for Nigeria's woes (by putting Buhari in power) yet Nigerians want more of the same.

They should keep voting for these people who want to waste theirs and children's futures.

BaEnki:


It's sickening how y'all reason on here.

I'm not sympathetic to any aspirant or any political party. The said man, Tinubu returned to his base after the presidential primaries and the consultations that ensured afterward. He was accompanied by many state Governors, private individuals and government appointees. So such convoys are expected putting it into consideration that such individuals will have their own convoy as well.

I wondered why people are making issue out this.

People are making an issue out of it because people like Tinubu, Atiku and all of the old men like them are a huge reason why such a convoy is needed.

Tell me, if they weren't so corrupt and greedy, would Nigeria not be safe enough for its politicians to travel freely?

swaggerjack:
We are finished in this country. This man will have no pity for the treasury of the poverty capital of the world.

Him and his wife will live like emperors and spare no expense.

You don't see leaders of Canada, Japan, China, Germany, United Kingdom that run Thrillion dollar/Pound/Euro economies moving like this.

The black man is truly cursed.

Truly, it's so sad. I'm so glad I don't live in Nigeria. At least I can live like a human being.

Whiteshield:


There is no achievement of Obi that Tinubu hasn't beaten 10 times. You are voting for Osinbajo to spite Tinubu, that's the fact.
You Igbos only hate Tinubu the way you typically hate leaders of other people right from 1960.

Voting for Osinbajo to spite Tinubu? Do you even hear yourself?

Of all the candidates that Igbos voted for the presidency, how many were actually Igbo? I can't even think of one .

Islandlady:
Shut up and cut me all this emotional bullshit Are you stupid or something? You are no different from the man that recorded that video wishing everyone who don't support your candidate suffering and death!!! Do I look poor to you or is it because you are bragging that you leave abroad, Hanty I travel around the world to different countries not only you that lives abroad! @bolded statement shows how stupid and delusional you are!

You're supposedly a woman yet you're calling someone you don't know stupid.

If you had ever lived in a civilised country then you would know that politicians are public citizens and should be treated as men, not gods.

Also, the fact that you think me saying that I hope Atiku and Tinubu continue to suck your country dry means I wish death on you and your children is funny.

So, you know that voting for them and allowing them to suck your country dry will eventually be the end of you and your children?

You know the truth but your tribalism and myopism won't allow you to accept it.

Echoban:


Wait, is it not worth insulting??

How can a tribalistic Igbo man be making such useless comment wen All 22 state Governors combine are honoring and celebrating their person, the state govt herself is giving home welcoming credence to the Political father who made them and are projecting to Presidency, what do u expect?? only for one igbotic flat head to b talking stupidly..

Make una come vote for Lagos henceforth. Sheleyawere ni.

Tell me where in the civilised world they will be keeping people waiting for three whole hours just for some silly politicians to pass a road? If they were abroad, these same politicians would be using public transport or ordinary cars yet you people are not ashamed. You deserve to live in a failed state where there is no security, jobs or value for human life. Carry on.

Whiteshield:


You supported Atiku when Obi was his deputy but now are insulting Atiku because Obi is no longer under him. You lack sense.
Your useless state is on lock down today due to the stupidity of your brothers, you fools cannot solve that but you want to solve Nigeria's problems.
Even Peter Obi cannot campaign on Anambra on a Monday but he wants to fix Nigeria. You guys are very stupid.

Who supported Atiku? You people keep saying "brother this, brother that" but if Osibanjo went for the presidency, I would have supported him too. It has nothing to do with tribe, only competence.

Islandlady:
Hanty it is your brother who recorded that video that is the real cause of all this insult and bashing upon you guys...That convoy was not Tinubu's own alone other dignitaries and we'll wishers with their various convoys combined! Why was he then saying trash that we are finished because of convoy...No be today people they wait make convoy pass so did he make it a big deal! You are also tribalistic you know! Shouting it shouldn't have made frontpage but did not condemn the man that made the video that he shouldn't have recorded it in the first place!

Who told you that the person recording is my brother? Are you ok?

It should not have made the front page because most of the posters in the first two pages used it to be insulting Igbos. The person that recorded might not even be Igbo yet you are here making silly assumptions.

If you like, go and vote Tinubu or Atiku. In fact, I wish them both on myopic Nigerians like you. Let them suck your country dry until there is nothing left but dirt and sand for you and your children.

Keep cutting your nose to spite your face.

Pristine664:


Who told you the person you quoted is not also out of the country?

Stop the bragging.

That you think someone stating they live abroad is a form of bragging shows exactly why Nigeria is a failed state.

Your politicians live like normal people in the West yet they are treated like gods back home. Ask yourself why.
