"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"
That's a famous quote, widely attributed to Albert Einstein.

Same can be used in the situation of Nigeria. Over the years we have had the same crop of politicians. Each election year we regurgitate the same class of people while expecting different results.

If 'Albert Einstein' were to judge the situation of Nigeria, he'd most likely label us "insane".

But alas! We need to move this country forward. We need to stop electing the same crop of people while expecting different results.

But then... who amongst the polical class is differrent?
Simple answer: Peter Obi.

Like it or not. Obi is a deviant and abnormal when put side by side with others.

#1: Peter Obi Rejects Oil Block
#2: He was impeached for refusing to inflate Anambra budget
#3: He rejected a house of 120M
#4: Anambra GDP grew by 40% while he was governor


These are not what a normal Nigerian politician does. These are verifiable facts!

Obi is not normal.

You typed all these just to receive N2,000 Naira. Please tell Obi to increase your salary.

Meanwhile, Peter Obi inflicted Anambra with acute poverty when he was governor

PresidentMUGABE:
Mr Peter Obi has attracted a lot of unprovoked harrassment and attacked to his personality because of politics, I can't imagine someone like Daniel Al-Jazeera bwala, Reno Omokri, Kenneth Okonkwo, FFK and even many unskilled Nigerians content creators insulting Dangote, Otedola, Elumelu and many of his class..
Mr Peter Obi offence is that he wants to build a foundation of corruption free future that others will emulate in Nigeria politics....

Having successfully outsmarted the ruling class and the use of compromised judiciary to stop him being on the ballot 2027 by leaving ADC for the NDC, and having successfully done what was hitherto thought impossible - an alliance with Kwankwaso - Reno felt he needed to play a last card - attempt to provoke Mr Peter Obi on camera.

Setting a camera to condescendingly go tap a man who is 12 years your elder on the shoulder, in that manner, was a calculated act of provocation aimed at eliciting reaction from the target.

If only they knew that the man called Mr. Peter Obi is operating on an entirely different level.

See the measured indifference with which Mr. Peter Obi treated him.

There are two important demon a man must conquer on Earth
(1) Demon of Greed
(2) Demon of Temperament.

Mr. Peter Obi has conquered both!



Mr. Peter Obi Attended Christ the King College, Onitsha, and graduated from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, in 1984.

He was a highly successful businessman and banker.

He managed and chaired many firms like
Fidelity Bank Plc.
Next International Nigeria.
Guardian Express Mortgage Bank.
Future Views Securities Ltd.

Executive roles held
Data Corp Ltd.
Paymaster Nigeria Ltd.
Card Centre Ltd.

Corporate Leadership:
He was a member of the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG)
and the Nigerian Chartered Institute of Bankers.

I have to commend your dedication to your 2K job

Shouldn't you guys tell Peter Obi to upgrade your salary because 2K seems to be too small for all that you typed.

WizardOfNG:
Well-said. I am Ijebu. We are liberal, accommodating and welcoming to outsiders. Yet we are not mugs and don't play like that.

Ijebus are some of the most criticically and analytically intelligent Yorubas you can come across. We are decisively quick to check awon a la se ju. History confirms that.

Na God catch you Yorubas and I don't even feel sorry for you people one bit because you all like to betray your fellow Yorubas. I remember during the 2023 election year, many Yorubas in the name of I am Yoruba but actively campaigned and voted for Igbos ahead of more qualified Yorubas to the extent of Tinubu losing Lagos

You claimed to be sophisticated yet outsiders have colonised you in your own land and they are lording and humiliating you on your ancestral land

Criminalgoment:
Yes you are right he doesn't see obi as anything, that's why I feel so good to know that he is going to deputize a man like obi who is nothing

Your pain is my joy bro...... keep it up bro, you guys will learn something new


Please talk about, atiku. Sowore, kachikwu, and adebayo, these are also presidential aspirants but no. It's obi that is your problem,a man who came 3rd as you all claimed. Not atiku that came second because you guys have damaging reports of corruption to destroy him if he dares but the main target is the man you can't destroy

Stop being delusional. When did Kwankwaso agree to deputise the fraud called Obi?

Obi has been shamefully running, prostrating and kissing Kwankwaso's feet.

I have never seen a politician ass lick another politician like the way Obi has been ass licking Kwankwaso yet Kwankwaso has not agreed to anything because he doesn't see Obi as worth the trouble.

By the time Kwankwaso finish with Obi, Una go know how far.

Eyes go soon peel

SonOfEl:
This is puerile and shallow of you.

If you know you know.

Your lost it when you start arguing without knowledge.

You misunderstood me completely because I don't hate polytechnic in any way after all I am a I am a product of the polytechnic in a way since my father was a product of the polytechnic and he used the money he made with his polytechnic certificate to train all his children to university.

I will forever be greatfull to my late father for not allowing any of his children to go to the polytechnic. The problem with people like you is trying to paint a false narrative and I always laugh because things are far from what you are saying.

That being said. I will never advise anyone to go to polytechnic at all but if they already had polytechnic certificates I advise them to go for professional programmes to upgrade their skills and employability. I have trained many polytechnic guys and some are doing very well now. But no matter how well they do, they are always behind the B.Sc counterparts

Why is it always Nigerian Christian women that are always guilty of these things.


We have so many Indian women, Arab women etc in the UK but you never hear all these stories about their women

bazoodo:
Hobi win or lose Kwankwaso is likely to be next president 2031. If obi wins he's promised to do just one term. Of course that's normal if he doesn't the north wont back him for a second and then form an alliance with the southwest and south south. If he loses well Kwankwaso becomes the politician to beat in 2031 since Atiku would have retired that's if he doesn't win this one.

Whatever you are smoking must be very strong for you to even imagine Obi can win anything at federal level in Nigeria.

Kwankwaso just ended his political career if he accepts to be VP to a clown like Obi because of the following reasons:
* January 1966 bloody and brutal coup is still fresh in our hearts and Nzougwu and his accomplices will never be forgotten hence we will never allow power to go to that region.
* Peter Obi will never ever be voted for by the Muslims particularly the Muslim north because of the leaked YES DADDY viral audio where Obi declared a religious war on Muslims in Nigeria

Igbophobia:
We're putting me out of misery. Simply say amen to the prayer . Wicked people like me don't live too long you know...

Fixed..

Dshocker:
Don't be slow bro

Keep up the insults..

You lots insults worse than this in 2023 yet you failed. Nothing is going to change this year except that the margin of your loss would be wider

adamkkk:
u are obviously not from the North

OK

Dshocker:
Morning, afternoon and night Peter Obi, you y'all know he won't win, why not keep his name away from y'all lips?

Because he is the only one clowning and disgracing himself everywhere

Major11:
Why is it that the northerners are underrating obi

Obi is worthless and a tainted politician considering that he was waging a religious war on Muslims in the leaked YES DADDY viral audio
No one is underating Obi.

Northerners can see Obi for who he truly is.

Igbophobia:
Just tell us it will never happen over my dead bodi make we understand

Fixed....

Even over your dead body, it will never happen

SonOfEl:
From your post, it is obvious that you are young (perhaps gen z). No one will contest what I have said with regards to HND graduates (with distinction or upper credits) having HA
CCP certification, holding jobs with fair salaries in Dangote Sugar Company, Promasidor, Cadbury, NBC, Crown Flour Mills, etc in the 2000s up to even the 2010s.

Hahaha..

I knew you were just arguing for argument sake because immideately I mentioned professional skills, you quickly googled and started mentioning the common and popular ones.

So what is stopping a B.Sc and M.Sc holder in engineering from acquiring those professional skills and still lording over your HND who has professional skills. There is absolutely no escape for your HND people in any field as they will forever be lorded over by B.Sc holder.

I am in a highly specialised field with deep professional skills and I head and direct mostly B.Sc holders who have professional skills. No HND who has professional skills reports directly to me because they are too far behind me in rank. It is very very easy for me my B.Eng and M.Sc in engineering to get to management level in any organisation I work where as your HND and his skills will not have that opportunity. Even the young ladies working in any organisation will always prefer the B.Sc holder for relationships before your HND holders.

Jilo83:
Support your candidate without cursing others.
If Tinubu supporters say anybody that vote obi in 2027 will die, how will you feel.
Respect others opinions

They will never do that.

“Anyone That Votes Tinubu In 2027 Will D!e. This Man Has Spent 4 Years In Power And Has Nothing To Show For It. No Light, No Security, Things Are Very Expensive. Anytime I Enter Nigeria, I Move Around With 5 Police Officers To Protect Myself.” ~ Prophet Michael Declares

Why would a pastor move with 5 Police officers to guide him. Why does he not believe in his God anymore?

SonOfEl:
Lmao....

Dude, rest. Not every story is like yours. I wonder why your dad had to stop in ND, why not HND?

I know people who got plum jobs in Dangote sugar company as well as other food industries.

Maybe today's HND is no longer good enough, back then in the 2000s, it was still a force to reckon with in terms of delivery and value

My dad stopped at OND in the 1980s because he was already employed and married with 2 kids already and he felt he had had enough of education.

Which Dangote are you talking about?

Don't even mention Dangote at all. Did your HND friends at Dangote lie to you or what? Didn't you HND friends at Dangote tell you the difference in renumeration and other benefits between B.Sc and HND?
You make me laugh that you mentioned Dangote company.

Same Dangote that has different career paths for B.Sc and HND

Guy, you are just arguing for argument sake. I was born into engineering household and I grew up in that field. I have three other brothers with degrees in engineering and I can only laugh at your rank ignorance.

To be frank, I was expecting you to mention certain professional skills where polytechnic guys have been able to reduce the gap but your ignorance didn't help you to know this areas instead you went and mentioned core engineering companies like Dangote where NSE and COREN are being used to slap and maltreate HNDs on a steady

saintkel:
and Nigeria that Boko haram n Fulani herdsmen that have killed over 20k?...is nothing to u abi but America own matters more to u?

So is Nigeria government not fighting the terrorists on a daily basis?

Even terrorists like Nnamdi Kanu was arrested, prosecuted and jailed which is a huge landmark cause of Nigeria dealing decisively with terrorists.

Even the terrorist called Simon Ekpa who thought because he is in foreign land was not left alone as he is presently serving prison time in Finland

SonOfEl:
I also have a masters degree.

The issue here is between HND and BSC, not Masters or PhD.

Yes ploy holders are being discriminated at by insecure university grads in the industry suffering from main character syndrome. Unbiased industries actually treat HND graduates fairly.

You know nothing of the discrimination which is why you are talking like this. I can never advise my worst enemy to go to polytechnic for any reason.

The discrimination is 100% there even at B.Sc and HND level and it will remain there.

FYI, my late dad had OND in mechanical engineering from Kaduna polytechnic and he swore that none of his children will ever go to the polytechnic so I know what I am saying when I say people like you have no idea what you are talking about

Skullminers1:
You mean same way Ebola Tinupoo kissed and licked Buhari and his Northern masters poo before 2023 election ehhh

Lol...
Many of Una go just dey smoke anything anyhow come dey talk anyhow.

It was Buhari that kept on going to Lagos to visit Tinubu in 2014/2015 and 2018/2019 election years. Tinubu was the host of Buhari at that time.

saintkel:
Dis news go sweet our extremist brothers who hate anything good....to them, america and Israel must be killed by all cost....they tend to pretend and close eyes to d happenings of Boko haram and Fulani bandits in d north ...

So what is good in America murdering over 150 innocent little school girls in Iran?

SonOfEl:
He is saying the truth bro. No cap.

I always feel sorry for you and your kind.

I have a Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and masters degree in telecommunications engineering and it beats my imagination that a polytechnic guy thinks he knows engineering more.

If only you knew how polytechnic guys are being maltreated in the field of engineering you will feel sorry for them

Amumaigwe:
You meant the Yoruba couùp?

Validated:
The same 5% that TROUNCED Tinubu in the South abi? Wait until what the North is cooking is done. The CPC block votes from Buhari is now totally split, plus Tinubu's FAILURE effect.

I no fit ever understand Una mentality. You keep on counting all the polling unit you won as if that will mean you will president over respective polling units

Why is your Obi not the president of the south then.

Since when is someone from one hamlet in Owerri, Onitsha or Nwewi speaking for the north

Macphenson:
What you have is ignorance. Simple Google could have cured your ignorance.

Many of you still don't realise even till this day that insults don't win votes but that is your character. Continue insulting everyone but remember not to cry rigging when you lose the presidential election

saintkel:
u don d form north now, all dis data boys have no shame....so what basis will make d north vote for ur brother Tinubu?....oh...because he's a Muslim abi?

You can choose to declare me to come from your region since you hate it that I am from the north.

shortgun:
You are a liar. Polytechnic graduates in Nigeria are considered stronger than university graduates in several practical and technical areas, especially in industries that value hands-on ability over theory.

Whoever is deceiving you is doing a good job

DuttyChuks:
In Nigeria, they messed up polytechnic, in reality polytechnic is far more better than universities. They're well taught, well exposed and 100% employable. I don't know why the discrimination against polytechnics. But, the system on board now had messed up Polytechnic system of education. Its not as it use to be before.

There was never a time where polytechnic was better than universities

edoairways:
Ironically, polytechnic is the main thing especially for science oriented courses

Yet the polytechnic leavers are being battered in those fields

Macphenson:
Obviously you are a kid and speak so ignorantly. Tinubu will even be ashamed at your ignorance yet you want to defend him. Go and find out. Ask them in your WhatsApp group or talk to your elders, they will tutor you.

I have you facts and the only reply you have is insult
