Ekiti professors! The most ridiculous in the whole country. Southwest has made that revered position a mere joke. As them her line of research now or local and international publications that warrant such branding they will start foaming in the mouth. No wonder no one takes their professorship seriously. All they want to brag is: we have the highest number of professors in Nigeria. Imagine this woman sitting among Soyinka, Irueweka, Ashiegbu, and Ogbulogo as professors. Tueeh!

pains and bitterness. It's expected when you don't have any in your society or lineage .

PDP won't be foolish either to give him the presidential ticket. It's a case of once beaten twice shy and dangling the carrots for Peter Obi. In 2015, Atiku left the party to APC and lost, he came back to PDP and broke their ranks to become the presidential candidate in 2019. The ensuring wahala led to their party losing relevance.

Besides , The only reason Atiku won the PDP primary in 2022 was because he has the northern state delegate bloc votes, and power brokers who are ethnocentric.

Can Peter Obi beat his chest that he has the backing of the delegates from the 17 southern state if PDP contest a primary election ?


Now you expect same party to accept Peter Obi who left in 2022 to LP, to come contest as their presidential candidate in 2027. Except only if Peter Obi accept to become a vice president which is a loss loss case either, PDP can't be foolish twice, the south eastern shouldn't be foolish too.

Peter Obi continues to keep an eye on the goings on in Nigeria and seems unfazed by Tinubu attack dogs now known as BATeria pipu.

His apt and prompt response to issues is beyond the Kern of Tinubu's kitchen cabinet is rattling Tinubu and has forced him to stay away from public view lately.

Peter Obi has never failed to demystify what Tinubu poses as insurmountable. This is daily showing Nigerians and foreigners how confused and clueless Tinubu is.

The barrage of sponsored attacks on Peter Obi is ignored by him and left for his teeming supporters to handle.

Surely, the momentum is building faster than expected.

It's a blessing to have a leader like Peter Obi.
When he speaks the world listens.

people who do nothing criticize the most. Peter Obi spent 8 years at anambra, did nothing , yet feeds his fans lies every seconds.

FatherOfJesus:
Bro, I don't trust that Bola Tinubu that couldn't not finish Lekki-expressway of less than 100km even after installing toll gates for himself can finish this project.

I can bet my fortune that this road will not get to Ikwerre land in another 20 years.

It's fraud, if they really wanted southsouth to benefit, they will award it to different contractors, one to start from calabar and the other from Lagos

Alright, it's really naive of you guy to assume this infrastructure will fail. I wish you the best.

As a matter of fact, most of you from South East are short termed thinkers. I would not blame you. Politically, the next Vice president will be from the South South, be rest assured, the generational coastal road progress will be of great necessity to them.

You can only wail to things you can't control and hope it fails then claim victimized. That's what your climes have been reduced to.

FatherOfJesus:
Oga, Costal road is fraud.

It's another way to rip southsouth. It will take more than 20 Years for the road to get to southsouth. Southsouth is where the money is coming from, why can't the road start from calabar.

That road is the most fraudulent deal of the century and southsouth people once again are falling for the scam. They will do that road Ana abandone it somewhere in ogun, edo or ondo stage, Nigeria is poor that handling long term commitments.

Just bookmark this post, that project, Tinubu is defraud southsouth to build southwest, hence the reason why he's start in Lagos. Where can't he start from both ends

Bola Ahmed is your president, he has no single project he has abandoned. The minister of works is Engr Umahi, he's a reputable engineer.

It's the audacity of you southeastern preventing the progress of the south south who contribute significantly to the development of this country.

Wail from now to decade, the coastal road will be completed. It will open south south up for prosperity.

The south south should know their neighboring enemies and May God spare our lives.

FatherOfJesus:
Dude, this should be a collective call for standard. Port Harcourt os Ikwerre land but you people always are mute.

One of the most useless set of people I have ever seen. They carry your monies to Lagos, Abuja and Kano but you settle for crumbs and fight those who want to defend you. Very useless set of people.

Just imagine, they used oil money to do standard train in Kano, Kaduna, Lagos and Abuja but brought abandoned trains to port Harcourt and you are here capping.

Everyone knows Ikwerre people are shitty people and Nigeria needs you to be shitty so they can further exploit your shittiness.

Yet it's the same SE that's fighting against their development just like the coastal road. Same way it's only the south east insulting them.

Good2go1:
I never mentioned State allocation, I am talking about things that has direct impact on people welfare. State government didn't remove subside, state government didn't float naira against dollars and they didn't increase electricity tarrif,these are the things that caused the inflation in Economy and eroded the purchasing power of the common man.

when they did not remove this things you mentioned, was your standard of living any better? Hold your state leader accountable.

Good2go1:
Since Tinubu assumed office he removed Fuel subside, Floats Naira against dollars, increased electricity tarrif and increased school fees for tertiary schools, all these increased the burden of the common man.This prompted me to ask, what is the primary purpose of government? Is Tinubu administration on the right course?

Eight months ago, Federal government not Tinubu doubled the allocation to your state and local governments so they equip and cater for your resources.

1.Have you asked and hold your state government responsible?

2.Do you even know your local government chairman?

3.Have you asked the senator representing your constituency what support he has done to improve who he represents?

4.Do you know who represent you in the house of Representatives?

The earlier you know this channels concerns you the most the earlier you receive the dividends of democracy.

SundayOAgulu:
Just a question, please guys, where has peter Obi been keeping Anambra Local govt /ASUBEB funds since his first tenure till date? Where are the Federal funds allocated to Anambra State? Why is he using bunch of illiterates as Local govt transition committee members? Why did he constitute the ANSEC when he knew he wouldn't conduct the Local Govt elections in Anambra State? What actually has he achieved in the 2 tenures of his rule? Oh God why is Peter Obi too rigid and greedy? ??

the baskard was a messiah of good governance ten years after.

MansaPiye:
It might very well be that Mr. Obi’s hands are not clean. However, there's corruption everywhere, the difference is that White man steals and uses it to develop his country, Africans steal and invest it in Europe. Mr Obi invested in Anambra, the state own a 40% stake. Mind you, Nigeria is the 2nd largest biggest beer market in Africa, Oyibo companies are making huge profits from us drinking their beer. But this time, our state will get some of that profit. An Anambra man already controls all the henny and champagne that you pop in the clubs, Anambra state will also make money when you order beer in a bar. I think it's a good investment, and no drinking beer doesn't turn you into an alcoholic.

Shortsighted celebrating beer as a state resources, yet insult other states who equipped theirs with infrastructure to last for decades.

DonTonero:
if all governors have been stealing our money and using it to build their own company here in Nigeria,unemployment wont be this high..if the claim is true about peter obi well its bad but kudos to him for building the said factories in Anambra haters should try river Niger.

No wonder, see followers reason.

overdrive:
Story others take their investments outside d shores of our country no body wl talk bt Mr Obi is bringing employment and industrialization and some ppl are talking arrant nonsense.Ka mu nweta kwa unu.bia bar man make it 4 bottles of hero 4 me and my friends.

shameless since 2013.

MemoriesAndMe:
There is a limit to what Nigerians in diaspora can do in Nigeria in the current state of the nation, and even under Buhari.

Nigerians in diaspora tried their best to make changes during the last election, but were then handicapped by the Abike Dabiri led Nigerians In Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM).

NiDCOM will never allow any groups of Nigerians in Diaspora to be registered in Nigeria and other nations unless they disguise the names.

Several groups of Nigerians in Diaspora with intents of participating or contributing towards the last elections weren't even allowed access to the constitutional freedom of association, couldn't even open bank accounts where others in support of the movement could deposit funds to to support better governance.

NiDCOM was used as a weapon against Nigerians in Diaspora before the last election. Some groups even sent representatives to Abuja to ask NiDCOM to allow them their rights to freedom of association, be registered and to maintain bank accounts to run their organizations with, but were denied.

Diaspora voting was crippled by same NiDCOM and no one in diaspora could vote unless they flew to Nigeria to vote. So, that effectively crippled all Nigerians out of the shores of Nigeria from participating in the last election.

Just so you know nigerien are also immigrants

onadana:
Who told you the midget rejected ministerial appointment he wanted it die. Dem no give am....he is a security risk

That's Your 51% incoming President in 2031.

Let Ghanaian breathe

Suncheks:
No matter how you chooses to paint the hatred your kinsmen ( Yorubas) have against the person of Peter Obi, it's already stated that half bread is better than none and no amount of hatred from you guys can stop him from doing good. Now can you name any single project in another geopolitical zones of the country that was sponsored by politician either dead or alive from the south west region?.
Peter has done the best he can but instead of pushing your politicians to borrow a book from him, you rather chose hating as a remedy. Tufiakwa.

No, sorry. The South west are not unity beggars. The south west region is enough for south western to invest IN, they don't go to other people region to decide their internal politics.

The south west political leaning believe that every region is responsible and accountable for it growth and development including the minorities.

The north has it issues,only the northern leaders can solve.

That being said, no one dislike your candidate, he simply doesn't make the mark for a presidential candidate. There's no credentials of political sustainability around him, he does not have that clout, he's too divisive for a multi religion, multi ethnicity complex society like ours, he preach church take back their country, and started visiting mosque.

His region kinsmen also have an existing hatred for everyone in the zoo dating back to the 70s. Last year, you insulted the hell out of the hausa. This dispensation its yoruba. When they clap back on your actions, you scream hatred.

Suncheks:
It's quite unfortunate that these children of hate from South West are still bittered for this kind gesture from H.E Peter Obi. If Sowore and his kinsmen are reasonable enough then they would have done something better to counter what Obi did. But just as usual they will always rant and forget that they too are humans who can't even provide sufficiently for themselves talk more of providing for others. Ndi mgbu everywhere. If we have water project like that from Peter Obi in every corner of this country then trust me Nigeria would have solved its water supply problems. Sowore, Reno and their likes should at least do one of this project in their immediate community first before condemning what Obi has done.

Your man projected himself as having the solution to pull people out of poverty. A rough translation of yoruba proverb says "If you want to give people clothes, let's judge what you wear".

That water project is an utter eyesore, and you get to ask is this the kind of substantial embarrassing projects he wants to pull people out of poverty with?

Scarcity234:
What have you donated to you community?
Have you ever even volunteered as a teacher in your community?

Let's have it...

It is better to be quiet and considered wise than speak and erase all doubt. It is better to not do that project than do a very embarrassing project.
The project was too substandard for a presidential aspirant in 2024.

You humiliated people for their political choice. Yet, next election you will complain of hatee and marginalization when they pay you back in your coin.

AlexBells:
It is not very accurate to blame Awolowo, Ojukwu knew from Aburi that the West had been defeated. However Awolowo did take some mischievous steps afterwords like advising the Eastern blockade and taking Igbo money in the bank but we rose from the Ashes and became the best

Which West was defeated? They simply did not have a common ground for seceding. Awolowo argued for secession clause earlier to be included in the constitution. Who rejected it? Nnamdi Azikwe.

In the case of banks, Why did Ojukwu loot the Nigeria central banks in the eastern region? Thus having illegally obtained Nigerian money so he could buy more ammunitions to fight the same Nigeria.

In the case of Eastern blockade, You are fighting Nigeria, and you expect them to open their borders to feed you so you can continue the 'friendly' war?


The planner that Orchestrated the misunderstanding at aburi had to escape overnight to ivory coast. Yet the west keep getting blamed for it non aligned stance.

God bless P bola Ahmed Tinubu
God bless Nigeria

adamusuleiman1:
E shock me. Rufai is no longer a terrorist and bandit that brought Fulani mercinaries from Mali.

Obidients keep proving those that call them "headless mob" right.

don't be shock. It's that lack of direction that makes them bottom tiers in Nigeria politics. No logic, no philosophy, no ideology, just peak fooling each electoral cycle.

Some folks are never learning politics. Just early this month, they saw Niger state governor, Bago admonishing Peter 0bi.

Permutations and more silly permutations from their camp. Only for bago last week went on a courtesy visit to Tinubu the following day bursted their kindergarten illusions.

That's how you all make permutations of the kwankwaso Obi till you receive your reality.

El Rufai a founding father of APC from the woven of CPC leaves the party he started to join some obscure politicians from south east?

Statistically, the total presidential vote of kaduna, the state El Rufai governs is almost the total vote of the 5 south eastern state.

Quit whatever you're drinking or just get another dealer?

Ogene001:
It's now the time for mosque to join hand with the church and take back their country from bulabans

I'm glad you accepted his divisive political division on religion line. Same way he divided the Catholics versus Anglicans during his stint as a governor of Anambra state. Be rest assured, his stocks and antics are well documented.

Ogene001:
As expected. Always living in denial

barely a year ago, Peter Obi declared religious war on the Muslims, same Peter Obi, Church take back your country.
But nwoke living in denial.

Our folks Don go open hausa accounts

Ofunaofu:
The entire Tinubu's calamitous economic policies as a whole, no specifics

Best of healing.

Ofunaofu:
But the government can dish out calamitous economic policies and increase the pump price of petrol by over 300%, which have only achieved one purpose: to further improverished the common man.

You mean fuel subsidy that has increased your state and local government faac? The country kept on subsiding fuel for almost half the continent, a trillion naira every year. Money that could have built new roads and achieve a higher standard of living for the common man.

Or is it the CBN policy where bank managers and high power players gets dollar for 400/1 while the common man gets it at black market for 700/1?

Be specific with what you meant by calamity policy

Namaster:
The lowest amount proposed by Labour is #447K. The highest amount proposed by the Governors is #45K.

Tinubu may or may not announce the new minimum wage in May.

Either way, Nigerian workers still have an uphill battle before them.

labor unions or disguised opposition party? The Minimum wages can't exceed 100% of it current figure in all sub national government.

ValCon888:
Government of the future, for the future and by the future. It's always "may" "shall" "will" "going to" .

They are never actionable. That's why you can't hold them accountable.

You think democracy is a military era where you give a decree? As a free tutorial, It will go through all level of governments and interest groups, then becomes an actionable step.
