ScamHunter:
The gas is from tbe Southeast. They cleverly hide it because they know the evil they've done to the Igbo. They can pipe gas from Igbo land to the North, but cannot build railways through Igbo land.

ImpregnaTor:
Why are they taking our gas to the North?

Divide Nigeria now

Imagine if the south never got amalgamated with the parasitc north, with all our natural resources, we should be competing with Singapore now.

But here we are

Where/how exactly did some of you on this thread arrive at this flawed conclusion that the gas is from the south east? People wey get gas never complain, na people wey wan claim the gas dey complain pass. Abeg you guys should stop embarrassing Igbos abeg.

Besides, if I have a commodity in my backyard and I'm not using it currently, there's absolutely nothing wrong in having it sold for cool money instead of just burning it away with flares which end up damaging my environment (this is what has been happening for over 60 years since these pipelines have not been built).

All this opposition to the gas being piped across Nigeria or for export is just born out of IGNORANCE and bigotry.

I predicted this a while back; even Buhari himself will vote Atiku. Anything to retain the presidency in the north - FEAR NORTH!!!

JAMO84:
So if they used 82m to build dam in 1963, the dam will cost the same 83m today? Between Obi and his followers, I don't know who is more daft.

A little test to prove who's really daft here. Can you point out where in his speech he said the amount can build that number of dams TODAY.

thebosstrevor1:
Lmao, most broadband receive signals from satellite in space, even mtn has a low orbit satellite in space for the services they offer in Nigeria, dstv too.

So satellite internet and tv is nothing new. Starlinks just have a better marketing

thebosstrevor1:
Starlinks hasn't been tested in the remotest villages in Nigeria but Mtn works in some remote villages in Nigeria.

Starlinks just using marketing to deceive you.

Btw, how many villagers can afford starlinks but most villagers can afford mtn mobile internet data

Lol... This fellow has no clue how the Starlink satellite service works; he's asking what rural coverage level is and even comparing it with MTN that has to install masts every 5-10km before their service can get to an area.

Oga, Starlink did not have to install a single mast or hardware on ground to achieve 100% network coverage around Nigeria.

And on whether it is affordable for rural users; it is affordable, convenient and excellent for those who can afford it (not every commodity is meant for the masses you know).

Shoodboi:
He didn't test anything. He only talked about testing it and bought it for testing.

Crumbian:
Fu..cking youtubers

In the video I just watched, the dude tested the connection and it returned almost 161mbps download speeds.... Not sure the kind of test you guys were expecting.

dustmalik:
Why don't you watch the video up there? He was specifically asked of his opinion on Obi's seeming popularity and polls projecting him to win. Did you expect him not to address it?

The point is that, if Obi didnt have a high chance, that question wouldnt' have even come up. If Obi wasn't a problem for them, he wouldn't have bothered answering the question. The same El Rufai who not too long ago claimed Obi wouldn't even gather up to 200 supporters is now bitterly listing states and regions Obi can win - That is progress!

Same Obi which BAT himself claimed i would be an insult to mention his name, in all recent rallies, the name OBI hasn't left their mouths. If you still think Obi isn't a major headache to these associations of looters, then your naivety is legendary.

It feels good that these guys are talking bad about OBI. This is an indication that OBI has a good chance of winning, and it's giving them sleepless nights.

Haha... this is a very serious issue that still needs to be addressed. I was talking to a friend's dad few weeks ago who up until this January, didnt know what party Obi belonged to. He just knew he wanted to vote Obi but when asked, he thought Obi was in APC. I just weak!

I'm pretty sure there'd be some dubious APC and PDP agents in rural enclaves where Obi is popular who are deceiving people that Obi is in APC or PDP. A lot of work still beeds to be done. All these political parties need to simplify their logos too.

BluntTheApostle:
Continue deceiving yourself.

If those who died in Cambodian prisons had managed to not get caught, they would have dabbled into business and become another Peter Obi.

Lol.. misery always seeks company. Your principal is renown for his sordid drug dealing past, with undeniable receipts all over the place. In your desperation to justify your brazen indiscretion of supporting him, you now want to drag everyone else into the same filthy mud by conjuring childish theories about OBI being a drug lord too (just like your principal).... Una no dey shame!

Why would anyone expect BAT to debate Obi? If you want to disgrace BAT, just say it with your chest.

Even the intellectually sound orator Prof Osinbajo began speaking in tongues and mumbling gibberish in the last attempt at debating with Obi. Yet you want BAT who mumbles gibberish and licks mics on a normal day to face Obi in a live debate?

BluntTheApostle:
God bless you.


obailala, this was the exact question I asked you.



Where did Obi get his money from?

Lol... Obi has never shied away from talking about how he made his money. The man is a chronic trader that trades in everything he touches. He got so successful and even became largest shareholder and chairman in Fidelity bank. Yet you still wonder how he got rich?

On one hand, you're accusing him of owning one of the biggest retail chains in Nigeria and trying to crucify him for selling lots of imported stuff; even your principal (Tinubu) labelled him "Obi-Obi-Obi Import and Export". The next second you're here asking how he made his money. Dont you see how your desperation is leading you to confuse yourself?

Meanwhile I got no words for the other desperate fellow you quoted. Wealth from drug trafficking indeed! Imagine people rooting for Tinubu, a shady character with verifiable history in the drug trade, are trying to tag another as a drug trafficker.. Jokers!

Nigerian hypocrites on the prowl on this thread.

N3TRAL:
Nothing Peter Obi touches succeeds.

Peter Obi inherited more than 100 million dollars from his father. He has failed to increase his inheritance at the rate of even 2% in the last 3 decades.

Peter Obi was a rich kid. He was what the likes of DJ Cuppy, Paddy Adenuga and Jowi Zaza are today.

With the money Peter Obi inherited, his brand should have dominated Africa if he ventured into retail. In fact, there shouldn't have been a ShopRite if he was innovative. Next should have dominated African countries.

Look at Access Bank and GTbank. That's what Fidelity bank should have been if Peter Obi had a Midas touch. They started around the same time.

This is not political banter.

He invested Anambra's State money in a brewery right? Isn't the investment a loss of billions of Naira?

That's who Peter Obi is. He's worth less than he inherited from his father today by saving more and buying failed stocks.

He's acknowledged that he inherited 100 million+ dollars from his father. His foreign accounts that were spied on and published during the Pandora saga revealed he had less than 30 million dollars stacked in safe havens.

Dangote, Bua, Tony Elumelu, Adenuga etc inherited less but see where they are today.

Buhari isn't so different. He failed at everything he ever did apart from politics. His cattle husbandry was reported to have remained stagnant with the same number of cattles for more than a decade.

What Buhari and Obi have in common is that they preach integrity but una go suffer die because they have no idea about money making. Make honest Anambra people confess as boys migrate during his time. Hardship no be small.

Let's face it, businesses will enjoy better under an Atiku government than Obi's government.

Tinubu is the ultimate. Na baba for wealth creation. He turns everything to gold.

Knowing what Buhari and Obi share in common made me reject Obi from day 1. I swear I know say we go suffer if Obi wins.

Besides stolen funds and Alpha-Beta which Tinubu uses to siphon public funds, please can you give us the names of the flourishing businesses that Tinubu owns that gives him his billions?

People worshipping thieves and looters and still think they have sense!

BluntTheApostle:
You are just making baseless accusations against Tinubu.


We have our accusations of thuggery and mindless wastage against Peter Obi. Hope you know?

Lol... Talking of Thuggery and corruption and this fella wants to compare Tinubu and Obi... No further comments!

BluntTheApostle:
Well, you can't define character in your own word.

When you call someone a person of character, you mean they are reliable and honest.

Unfortunately, Obi is neither of the two.

His propensity for lying is legendary. Dishonesty is a real issue.

And when it comes to being reliable, Obi fails that test as well. After vowing to remain in APGA till death, Obi has since changed political party twice.

His show of desperation which saw him willing to sacrifice the Rivers LP gubernatorial candidate's aspiration for his own presidential dream shows that Obi will leave Labour Party should he lose the presidential election.

You mean TINUBU is a man of greater CHARACTER than Obi?

Whilst your country is grappling in the choke hold of corruption, embezzlement, profligacy, mindless wastage and plunder of its resources, thuggery, bribery, greed, insecurity, dishonesty, election rigging, blatant disregard for the rule of law etc., your preferred definition of the CHARACTER expected of a potential leader is "a person who stays in a single political party, regardless of the moral conflict the party throws at him"?

Like I said in my previous post, you are entitled to your opinon; you're free to believe that TINUBU is a man of greater CHARACTER than Obi. But Nigerians are no fools; enlightened Nigerians know the truth and have repeatedly expressed this through several opinion polls online and offline where Obi won with outsanding landslides.

Unfortunately for Nigeria and fortunately for you and your principal, there's still a massive population of uneducated and unenlightened rural dwellers, and these are the only people you and your candidate hope to exploit to win the coming election. But God will intervene and the will of the enlightened population will prevail!

BluntTheApostle:
You have not operationally defined character


Because, if we define character, I don't suppose Obi can stand Tinubu.

When I talk of CHARACTER, I refer to the propensity (or antecedents) of the individual to not be involved in corruption, embezzlement, profligacy, mindless wastage and plunder, thuggery, bribery, self enrichment, lootocracy, dishonesty, election rigging, blatant disregard for the rule of law etc.

Like I said before, even a deaf, dumb, blind and mentally impaired Nigerian can tell that Obi is a SAINT when compared to Tinubu in terms of CHARACTER. How could this even be an argument?

BluntTheApostle:
If we want to be sincere with ourselves, we won't go for any of the three major contenders.

While two are widely regarded as thieves, the third is a clever thief.

Elections aren't all about voting just any candidate; it's also imperative to vote frontline candidates who have been thoroughly scrutinised by all and who have the capacity to actually win the election. Besides the 3-4 frontrunners, the other candidates haven't been scrutinised and also dont have a chance of winning; so they are inconsequential in this very important election.

Whilst you may want to push the narrative that "Obi is also flawed", the big question is, amongst the 3 frontrunners, who is best suited for the job given their antecedents (with a focus on Character, Capacity and Competence)?

Like I said before, in terms of CHARACTER (corruption, embezzlement, profligacy, mindless wastage and plunder, thuggery, bribery, dishonesty etc.), everyone knows Obi is literally a SAINT when compared with the other 2 top contenders. You might dislike Obi for whatever personal reason(s), but Nigerians are not fools and they know the truth. This explains why the bulk educated and enlightened Nigerians are rooting for Obi over Atiku and Tinubu; the evidence of this can be seen in how Obi wins every online and even offline opinion poll with a landslide (note that the participants of those polls are drawn mainly from the educated and enlightened section of society). Tinubu and Atiku are strictly relying on votes from villages/rural areas where the voters are largely illiterate and unexposed, and can easily be swayed by ethnic/religious sentiments and cheap bribes.

Again, there's no point arguing with you on this because you know the truth but will likely stick with your choice for reasons best known to you.

BluntTheApostle:
So have the others like Atiku, Tinubu, and Kwankwaso.


I bet you don't know the meaning of character. You might want to check a dictionary.


No one has been able to pin corruption or embezzlement on Tinubu either.



So, you support a lack of transparency and a lack of morals exhibited by Peter Obi?


With this obvious lack of transparency, one can wonder how Obi became wealthy. His parents were ordinary traders. Where did Obi get his billions from? How did he become rich?

Undeclared offshore accounts have many ethical implications. The question I ask is if I can trust my money with someone who lacks honesty.

But Obi is supposed to be different, or have you all forgotten your narrative?

If every wealthy man stashes wealth in tax havens, and Obi does too, then what is the assurance that he doesn't do other terrible things that some wealthy men do, such as money laundering, or even drug peddling?






Indeed, Atiku and Tinubu were mentioned, but no one scrutinized them because their supporters never claimed them to be different.


Go and read about conflict of interest. It is illegal in the United States, and even in places where the law is silent, it is considered highly unethical.

Do not also forget the many other conflict of interests of Peter Obi, including the awarding of 100 million naira to his campaign manager and associate for the reconstruction of Governor's Office Complex, Awka.

Tinubu does not have a corruption toga on him. Define corruption, and tell me how Tinubu was corrupt?

Always, the typical Igbo person never fails to display their persecution complex.

In terms of corruption, embezzlement, profligacy, mindless wastage and plunder, lootocracy, thuggery, bribery, dishonesty etc etc, even a deaf, blind and mental impaired person in Nigeria knows that Obi is a SAINT when placed side-by-side with Tinubu and Atiku. So there's no point arguing with you on this because you know the truth (whether you acknowledge it or not).

BluntTheApostle:
Has he pointed out this right direction?


What has he said that has distinguished him from the other runners?

He has pointed this out in countless interviews, townhalls, campaign speeches etc.

He has the 3-Cs of Character, Capacity and Competence. Other frontrunners also have Capacity and Competence, but the key 'C' which separates Obi from the others is 'Character'.

If you can put away sentimental attachments (which may be influenced by political affiliation or ethnicity or religion), you will agree with me that the other frontrunners have stained records of corruption and embezzlement of public funds. No one has been able to pin corruption or embezzlement on Obi despite how hard they've tried since 2019.

That explains why the only thing his opponents can come up with after several years of brutal scrutiny are: "he has an offshore account and he invested state funds in a company where his family has shares".

Both cases arent crimes; having an offshore account is something every wealthy person does to reduces excess taxation (not a single person has been able to accuse him that he stole the money he put in those accounts). And guess what, both Tinubu and Atiku were also mentioned as having similar offshore accounts (but not a single person scrutinises them on that because we all agree that 'Character isnt something they can brag about').

Regarding the shares, that again is not a crime. He invested in a publicly listed functional company, and the money still belongs to the state. Anybody, invluding you and I can buy shares in those companies. If it were a crime, his opponents would have since crucified him for that.

Whether we like it or not, I'm sure you agree with me that Obi doesnt have the corruption toga around his neck (unlike other frontrunners). As unfortunate as this may sound, the only problem with Obi is that he's an Igbo man, and in the minds of many unfortunately, an Igbo man isnt worthy to be the president of Nigeria. But this devilish stereotype must be defeated for Nigeria to move forward.

BluntTheApostle:
So, Obi will come, and inflation will end gbam?

Continue to wait for miraculous transformation.

While other countries took years to get to where they are, you expect one Obi to do wonders in a country battling 1000% inflation.

No intelligent person is expecting Obi to turn Nigeria to Dubai overnight. What we expect of him, and what we believe he can do, is to tilt Nigeria in the RIGHT DIRECTION for progress.

Given the lootocratic antecedents of Tinubu and Atiku, they cannot be trusted with our collective patrimony at such a critical time in our nationhood.

00FFT00:
May I ask you, for what reason was Deborah Samuel publicly lynched and roasted by people of Tinubu's religious fate?. What exactly was her offense?

Go and ask the people that killed her. Like I said, stop turning logic on it's head because of politics. Grow up!

Sucre6:
Why are u like this comrade, u just made me laugh so hard, which one be water salute again 🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂

Lol... You should have tried Google; he's correct. That's a water salute.

socialmediaman:
Don’t forget the part where he made a blasphemous remark in Anambra while trying to throw a jab at Peter Obi

What is blasphemous about saying "Peter denied Jesus"? Sometimes we just need to grow up. Politics mustn't make us turn everything upside down.

dustmalik:
Even though you support Obi, yet you are objective. That's how politics should be.

I think it all boils down to maturity - A lot of people think politics must be about attacking and insulting anything the opponent says or does, regardless of whether the attack makes sense or not.

Ezeama400:
His blasphemous comments about Christianity is getting out of hand day by day

Does this man have any atom of respect for Christianity at all ?

His Muslim Muslim ticket is not enough insult, he had to insult Christians more and more ..

I pity him

What exactly is blasphemous about what he said? ... All these by-fire-by-force overnight extremists sef!

ASUGARUBA:
The Bible never said before the cock crow 3 times.

Tinubu I advice you should always write your speech on black and white to read to us.

Abeg what did the bible say?

Too many bitter extremists on this thread. How exactly is that Tinubu's statement offensive or insulting to Christianity? Mumu people everywhere!

May God just allow this man win the election. It would send a very powerful message and shock wave across Africa and the black world that leadership and politics of 'big-manism' (a.k.a. Plutocracy) can be defeated.

Starting from Cameroon, the day Obi is announced winner of the election, that is the day the people in Cameroon will rise up and kick that old 'fossil' out of power and into an old person's care home. The day Obi is announced winner is the day the people of Uganda will wake up too to kick out their forefather who believes he owns their country.

A Peter Obi victory will not be a victory for Nigeria alone, it will be a victory for the entire Africa and black race; it would be symbolic as the second independence of Africa.

POS operators make the list of the most important small businesses which make life extremely convenient and pleasurable for large population of Nigerians. Preventing access to them in residential areas will stand out as the first major foolish decision of our decision makers in this 2023.

Where is Atiku Abubakar?

Havent heard his voice or seen his face in a long while, except of course where how just climbs the podium to shout PeeDeePee!!!

When Peter Obi said Nigeria can save an unbelievable amount of money by simply cutting wasteful expenses, this is exactly what he was talking about. You will be amazed at how many billions could be saved if these little N500m are saved here an there. Our politicians are terribly wicked, this is the same KAtsina where millions are living in abject poverty.

THis is clearly the reason these guys will never support a person like Obi to be incharge at Aso Rock, but the GOd of NIgerians will frustrate them!
