Only on social media. Unfortunately, elections are not won online.

Obi ran literally as an independent candidate in 2023 with zero structure in a shithole country where rigging, corruption and other animalistic, barbaric tactics are glorified as 'political prowess'. The only reason you mock the 'online' popularity of Obi is because you know when it comes to street votes with INEC being the umpire, then the black man senseless barbarism will take precedence.

If Obi could pull 6.1 million votes against Atiku's 6.8 million, despite Atiku being in the almighty PDP which had over 10 governors at the time, then certainly in a free and fair contest devoid of rigging, Obi would have pulled way more votes than Atiku. Infact, only the votes stolen from Obi in Rivers and Lagos could have made him surpass Atiku clearly...

In summary, Obi was way more popular than Atiku in 2023 and Obi is way more popular than Atiku currently.

I actually expect it to be much more. In a few years, Dangote would be richer than Nigeria.

The same peter obi that was not happy food price was going down

Only the undiscerning and illiterate could mistake Obi's concerns about excessive food importation at the detriment of local farmers for unhappiness over falling food prices.

This is what happens when you're playing against the REFEREE in a match. The US literally owns and controls the US dollar, so what else should anyone expect in this scenario?

Same this happened in Zimbabwe. Mugabe reclaimed lands from colonialist, the US simply flipped a button and Zimbabwean dollar automatically became 'used tissue paper' overnight.

This is same reason Gaddafi was hunted and murdered on the streets by ISIS operatives. He dared to suggest that African countries should use gold for foreign reserves instead of US dollar. That would have sidelined the US as the Alpha and Omega in the global evonomy.... Within a month of sharing that thought, Gaddafi was assassinated in a sham war.

The US controls the world, and anyone who dares to go against their orders go collect.

Philistine:
Sad. I once thought you were a smart person. Bring Back our Obailala!(BBOO)

Sorry sir, I don't remember ever bragging to you that I was a smart genius.

Meanwhile I only stated my observation in the political sphere of Nigeria. When your opponent starts advising you on what to do to defeat them, then you should know you must be doing something right.

Lol... If a vote for Obi is supposedly a vote for Tinubu, how come so many obvious Tinubu supporters are the ones passionstely sharing this advice online?

manmade:
The authenticity or otherwise of the video /audio could be determined through forensic analysis .

You dont even need any forensics to determine that the video was doctored. The VDM clip was from an old existing VDM video

thesicilian:
Results of the poll so far : only 2 people believe Tinubu will defeat Obi. Me and one other smart person.

Under a free and fair election, Tinubu can't win Obi. But unfortunately, Tinubu already knows this, and Tinubu is not a man known to leave anything to chance. The plan from Day 1 has never been a fair election.

stuffs2002:
Yet you still wondered why Nigerians will never ever allow your people near power.

Why should Psquare mock the victims of kidnappings and beheading when it could have happened irrespective of who is leading Nigeria.

Even if their choice of vote does not align with yours does that mean they should be mocked. Does that mean Psquare shouldn't even have an atom of human sympathy for humanity just because of politics?

Oga lets be honest with ourselves. The reason your people will not vote OBi is cos of tribalism. Tribalism is also the reason you have misread what Psquare said.

Firstly, Peter didnt post that picture. He only tweeted that Nigerians ought to be aware that electoral choices have consequences. That statement by Peter is a FACTUAL statement and it wasn't directed at any tribe; rather it is you and your cohorts that have turned it to a tribal matter.

Secondly, the picture that was posted was a RESPONSE to the tweet by Peter. There's nothing in that picture that is directed at any tribe. The picture showed different victims of insecurity from different parts of the country. Yes Peter retweeted it, but again, the picture wasn't directed at any tribe. It is you and your ilk that have turned it to a tribal matter.

By the way, if we are honest and we exclude every tribal sentiment, who doesnt really see that Tinubu and his ilk have failed in securing the country? Why are we always like this in Africa? Always self sabotaging?

Jonathan failed in security and we all joined forces and lampooned him. Buhari came in and performed even worse than GEJ, and now Tinubu is doing even worse than both. If not for tribalism, why is anyone even defending Tinubu on this level of failure? What's really wrong with us in Africa? Gosh!

manmade:
is Section 24 of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act of 2015 a joke to you?

What the Law Prohibits :
The Cybercrimes Act broadly covers online harassment by penalizing individuals who intentionally: Send grossly offensive, pornographic, obscene, or menacing messages via computer or social media.Transmit false information or communications known to be false, with the intent to cause annoyance, inconvenience, danger, injury, intimidation, or needless anxiety to another person. Send messages meant to bully or harass someone, causing them to fear death, violence, or bodily harm.
2. Penalties for OffendersPunishments
under the Act are severe and scaled based on the severity of the offense:General Harassment / False Information: Offenders face a fine of up to ₦7 million, up to 3 years imprisonment, or both.Threats of Violence: If the cyberbullying involves threats of violence or bodily harm, the penalty increases to a minimum fine of ₦25 million and up to 10 years imprisonment.Extortion / Damage to Reputation: Threatening someone’s property, reputation, or trying to extort money can attract 5 years imprisonment and/or a minimum fine of ₦15 million.

Sorry just seeing this now. What I'm curious to know is who exactly is going to be charged with this Cybercrime law in this case? Is it the blogs posting it or is it Bayo who re-shared it to threaten VDM or is it you and I who listened and forwarded the audio to our friends?

VDM did not generate the alleged audio, and VDM did not post or share the audio to anyone on his pages. Even in the video he posted purportedly denying the claim, he didn't even as little as repost the so called audio for context. Someone obviously cropped an existing video of VDM talking of a totally different issue, and then they added the so-called audio to a previously existing video. So how is the existence of this audio recording even the business of VDM?

Omotaday:
Context! That’s what it’s called. Read my last 2 replies.

You lots acting like this is too hard for you to understand.

What context are you talking about? Electoral choices have consequences, and the truism of this statement cannot be wished away on tribal or political sentiments.

If i hire a mechanic to fix my car and they end up damaging my car, it wouldn't exactly be smart of me to keep pushing to re-engage the same mechanic. If I do, then i don't think there's any wrong if someone reminds me that my choices can have consequences.

Meanwhile, the victims shown in that post aren't only victims from Oyo; those pictures cut across Nigeria, and there's literally no part of Nigeria not feeling the current wave of insecurity. So, why is this being turned to an Igbo vs Yoruba tribal issue?

Regarding the key message on electoral choices having consequences, whilst it's a valid piece of advice relevant to ALL Nigerians, you can't deny the fact that it's more relevant for any person or group of persons who statistically are more likely to support the continuation of the current inept regime.

Biodun1929:
Obi got 100k votes in Oyo... A whole 100k in a Yoruba state, yet they are making fun of the people in the state.

The pictures posted about victims of insecurity weren't only pictures from Oyo state. Oyo isnt the only part of Nigeria facing insecurity. In fact, there’s no part of Nigeria that isnt currently hit by the unchecked wave of insecurity, and the insensitivity of the government on this is so loud.

ELECTORAL CHOICES HAVE CONSEQUENCES!!!

This a clear, unambiguous and morally sound message to all Nigerians. And no, this isn't about Oyo so stop trying too hard to tribalise it by making it about Oyo.

Omotaday:
He retweeted, meaning he certified the message being conveyed.

He would not do so if those victims are Anambrans, I can bet anything.

What's wrong or immoral or even tribal in pointing out that poor electoral choices can have dire consequences?

If Peter wasn't an Igbo person, if Peter was say a foreigner, would you lot have also interpreted that as an inappropriate statement?

dibunotion:
It is insensitive for Peter to mock people because of their choices. It's childish.
Even his messiah Obi can't solve the security situation we're in. The 3 horsemen in the race are just trial and error.

At least we've tried one and he failed woefully. So why's anyone even talking of re-electing failure? Wouldnt it be foolishness to reinforce failure? If under a first tenure, things are this bad, what then would happen in a second tenure when there'd be absolutely nothing to lose?

Before 2023, Tinubu was asked how he'd solve the insecurity problem. His brilliant response was that he'd "just recruit 50 million youths into the army and feed them with cassava, yam and agbado"... Instead of taking such incoherent nonsense seriously, Nigerians rather joked about it on social media, and now we're reaping the consequences.

My thoughts exactly. Clueless people just working on overdrive trying to weaponise tribalism.

Saying that our electoral choices can have consequences, how exactly does that amount to mocking the victims of insecurity?

A regime that pays absolutely no attention to the security of ordinary Nigerians. People are kidnapped all over Nigeria and there's a loud silence from the people elected to protect Nigerian lives. Now people are saying there're consequences to choices, and some cretins are trying to divert this with tribalism?

In 2013 after the Nyanya bomb blast, GEJ ignored the victims and went dancing on a stage at a political rally in Kano. The same people who joined us in dragging GEJ for his insensitivity then, are the same people now somehow defending the ineptitude and insensitivity of Tinubu on the bases of tribe.

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
But our foreign exchange Emefiele gave him for N130 per dollar is not freebies while we scramble for the black market to get it at N750.

Mind yourself.

Emefiele also granted the same foreign exchange privilege to tens of thousands of businessmen who met the requirements. The question is, where are are the other 9,999 businessmen?

The same Emefiele you talk about also diverterted billions of dollars privately, stashing the funds in foreign banks. Several other businessmen and bankers who similarly got the forex only round-tripped the funds to instantly enrich themselves with billions overnight - The story of bankers like the late Wigwe is well known.

But somehow, you expect me to join an undiscerning mob in cursing out Dangote who appears to be the only one who used the privilege to better the lives of Nigerians and the economy of Nigeria? All because Dangote did not give me free fuel?

Demonic01:
Obailala the same hungry retardedd imp you referred to was appointed to work by the president, a privilege none of your family and extended relations can't even bag maybe not even in this life time, so sit your emotional ass down and keep quiet.

I'm glad your role model, VDMumu has even admitted that this administration dey find means to cage am and when they finally does, no jupiter on this universe will get him out not even that his content creator he hired has a lawyer will do shit.

The slowpoke still de make the videos dey attack Tinubu administration and discredit his campaign, nothing concern me but wetin i know be say VDM's days of freedom is numbered. Let him keep running his mouth, let him fall back Nigeria and continue that his stvpidity make we know wetin dey give am mind to fight a whole administration.

Nah people like you dey give am de foolish mind to display his stvpidity and when the time comes, we go know the power of that una rat movement against the current administration.

Nor be chochocho, nor go hide head. Dey there de bluff upandown, highest all of una go chop tear gas.

Argue with your forefathers. ‼️

I understand there's hunger and poverty in the land, which explains why you think being employed by a president to run around making a fool of oneself is a dignified flex. But I'm sorry boy, neither myself nor my family members are hungry or in need of some stupid dishonourable appointment.

Meanwhile, VDm is actually back in Nigeria. Make una go arrest am! I wouldn't be surprised if you do, cos that's what is typically expected of a barbaric regime run by clueless imbeciles and hailed by rascals who think the best way to lead a country is by silencing dissenting voices.

CLUELESSNESS is the only reason why a government instead of showcasing its achievements (if any) after 3.5 years, is more focused on prioritising the arrest of individuals who speak against it.

Afonja007:
where is the benefits for ordinary Nigerians? today cooking gas is 2k per kg ,dangote na where belle face he never criticise any government in power in Nigeria

Dangote is not father christmas to give free food to you or the ordinary Nigerian.

Nevertheless, the strides by Dangote in the oil sector is way more beneficial to the ordinary nigerian than all the governments put together since 1999. A single individual who employs more Nigerians than government and multinational operators, a single individual whose strides helps to directly and indirectly feed hundreds of thousands, that indeed is a hero figure, especially when compared with other wealthy Nigerians who dump and invest their loot in foreign countries.

I dont see anything wrong in what he said. Nigger is only trying to survive.

There's no difference between his position and the position of millions who have either abandoned Nigeria and japad, or who will not bother to come out on election day to vote.

He's simply saying he has given up on the possibility of the current leadership ever getting anything right. And since the opposition will not get its act right, he would rather be on the side of the devil that to be on its path.

I dont think there's anything dishonorable in his statement cos unlike some others that we know, at least he acknowledges the govt is a painful disaster.

lenghtinny:
They really don’t need the numbers to rig elections

For him to be declared winner in a place like Rivers where he’s highly unpopular should tell you how they operate

He just needs his foot soldiers in each domains to intimidate the real voters and doctor results coupled with voter apathy to achieve his dubious aims

Trust me, the only reason why the charade in Rivers was allowed to slide was because the isolated results from Rivers state alone was inconsequential overall. If the situation in Rivers was also the situation across the entire Nigerian (i.e. he's totally unpopular across rhe federation), the charade of writing results wouldnt have worked.

The truth about Nigerian elections is that votes still count. No matter how much rigging they do, politicians still need some level of genuine support, even if its just from a minority to be able to easily rig the rest of the way. Despite their plans to rig, these politicians know that votes still count, and that's why they still spend money campaigning and even buying votes.

Ekwulobia people don collect stray groundnut...

lenghtinny:
Some people still believes this man won with real votes

Yes some people voted for him but majority of his votes were doctored

Yeah, doctored or not, the fact remains that there are still many who voted him, and who are still willing to re-elect him.

If absolutely no one voted for him, it would have been impossible to doctor the results.

cyberbro:
Old age is finally telling on him. He should have just allowed Osinbajo to be President and stay as an elder stateman and political father, but his greed for power got the best of him.

Now look at him, what a shame.

This is the reason why for the first time in Nigeria's history, presidential elections were held in 2023 without a presidential debate because one of the key candidates was too afraid to show up. Or perhaps his handlers were aware of the risk of letting him show up for a live debate.

The same man who was asked before the 2023 elections how he intended to tackle the insecurity problem; his response on live TV was that he'd recruit 50 million youths into the army and feed them with cassava, yam and agbado. With all the clear signs, a large number of persons still voted him in and are still fighting to reinstall him as president. Africa is indeed cursed!

Amazing how the people who support and idolise this man actually have the audacity to say OBI isn't intelligent. Imagine for a second it was Obi that gave this kind of incoherent response to this question? The internet would have been agog!

The last time he was asked about how he would tackle insecurity, his response was that he would recruit 50 million youths into the army. 3 years down the line, how many of those 50 million youths has he recruited? Yet this man some intellectuals brag about being intelligent while Obi is dull.

For the first time in Nigeria's history, presidential elections were held without a presidential debate cos a key candidate called Tinubu was too afraid to show up. Even the semi-literate Buhari showed up for debates, but this is the person some intellectuals think is the best candidate to lead Nigeria at this time?

3 years down the line, ZERO progress, but people are still scrambling to queue and vote him because of 5kg bags of rice and tribal sentiments. Who even cursed Africa?

manmade:
is cyber stalking and cyber bullying a joke to you!? It's under the cyber crime Act. If he knew what is good for him he should just stay in abroad.

Can you be kind enough to explain how he committed cyber stalking or cyber bullying under this current circumstance?

manmade:
you and your VDM go learn in a hard way, go and ask justice crack, he used to run his mouth any how like this before and now he is regretting his foolish actions

Obviously you cannot name any law he broke because there is none. Like I said before, a lot of Nigerians like you confuse the banana-republic barbarism with actual law.

manmade:
you guys lack the basic knowledge of the law , I now understand why it's easy to manipulate an average Nigerian youth, VDM has broken the law and he is going to be arrested for it . Simple!

What law exactly did VDM break?

Someone cropped an old video of VDM and added an 'alleged' audio recording of Tinubu to the video. The video wasnt shared by any account belonging to or linked to VDM, but somehow you and so many others think VDM has broken a law?

Apparently, a lot of Nigerians seem to confuse banana-republic barbarism with actual law.

Demonic01:
This VDM is a very phoolish boy, even if the Video was doctored, does that warrant him to come out and start insulting the presidential official.

My own be say, After GOD, Nah Government.

So far say, you wan fight Governor and attack any given administration, get ready to dance to the tune of your actions.

Nah when him don fall out with Sowere, How em wan take comot this situation.

The mumu dey even forget say him get establishment for Nigeria wey government fit ceaze. All of una wey dey here de ginger am as ratels nor go still do anything.

What gave VDM dey impetus to even call out Tinubu openly in his previous videos and i was sure he even ridiculed Tinubu and his administration cos i don't watch his Low IQ videos.

Nah when dem don trigger am, him con dey add to the injuries, nah him body go tell am.

As for me, i keep my fingers crossed the look anything wey wan happen.

We live in a cruel world, brats like VDM feeling immune to the Government will be humbled for good.

Anything wey i wan do in this life, I'll never fight or ridicule the ruling administration of any given regime in this country.

Peace and love, don't play ratels.

If you must support ratel movement, let it remain online cos if you carry your stupidity comot outside, nah your body go tell you.


Livinus dey feel the heat, him oga go also feel the heat.

Who exactly is this "presidential official" that shouldn't be insulted by VDM? Bayo Onanuga?

You mean the hungry retardedd imp that goes around embarassing himself, his family and Nigerians without any iota of shame? That's the person you claim shouldn't be called out for his folly because he was appointed by the president?

The only reasons our politicians treat us like fools, is because they know we are fools.

viralmoney25:
I’ve been trying to find Nigerians abroad for work, interviewing them and asking how they relocated. One thing I’ve noticed during my search is how everybody is now a “Japa coach”.

Everywhere you turn now, somebody is selling a relocation masterclass, consultation, CV package, visa mentorship, Telegram group, “secret route”, etc.
And maybe it’s just me, but some of the prices are insane 😭

Like, I understand people monetising knowledge, but sometimes it feels like they are taking advantage of how desperate and confused a lot of Nigerians are right now, especially because half the time the information is already publicly available or came from another random person’s Twitter thread.
I even saw somebody charging for “hidden European countries Nigerians don’t know about” 😭 what's that about?

It just made me realise how deeply capitalistic and exploitative Nigerians can be, especially when we're in a seemingly better situation than before; we barely hear enough from normal people who actually relocated successfully without all this packaging around it.

There’s no education we pay for that isn’t already available for free. But many people still need human guidance because a lot of them either can’t research effectively on their own or simply prefer being guided by someone and are happy to pay for that guidance.

In the end, it comes down to supply and demand. If there were absolutely no demand for a product, there would be no sellers. You can’t really blame sellers for being resourceful enough to identify something people want and offering it for sale.

Burob:
I believe that they are the same thugs, agberos, active cultists, and militants in Rivers state that helped Wike install Fubara as the governor of Rivers state?

I am very sure they must have also gone to Bayelsa, home State of the Ijaws, to recruit more thugs, agberos, active cultists and militants?

Yes most certainly, its the same thugs used by Wike to chase Amaechi out of Rivers, the same hooligans also used by Wike to unilaterally install Fubara. The issue that cannot be dismissed is that these people still fear and are controlled by Wike.
