IronGalaxy:
Lol, Dude... Are you honestly trying to go toe to toe with South Africa, one of earth's beautiful countries, in terms of beauty..? Like... are you for real right now?

IronGalaxy:
My guy, lets not go there

IronGalaxy:
Im South African and i can tell you for free..you have no clue of what you're talking about

WizardOfNG:
I can't believe the reasoning of some of you. Jonathan's Presidency was turn of the South how?

Did Jonathan not become President only because a Northern President, who should use 8 years on behalf of the South, passed away through ill health?

WizardOfNG:
Your post simply shows you don't understand my point. Of course Yorubas, with Tinubu as arrowhead of that effort, worked to help Buhari become President.

Power has to rotate between North and South. Any sensible adult will know that the effort of Yorubas to help Buhari become President is simply an arrangement. I.e "one good turn deserves another".

Help the North to become President and they reciprocate to help the Yorubas. It is a simple concept any adult should understand and I don't know why so many of you have such an emotional and unpragmatic approach to life.

WizardOfNG:
Which authority did Yorubas give Fulani? What manner of small-mindedness is this?

Politicians must still play politics and Yorubas, trying to get to the centre to utilise their brand of progressive politics on Nigeria, have to engage in politicking with everyone, including Fulanis, to get what they want.

How can a critical-thinking adult not understand this simple and universal concept?

When have Yorubas showed fear to tackle Fulanis when existential problems showed up for Nigerians? Remember NADECO against Abacha?

Is it your ethnic group that tackled Malami and Buhari to set the precedence for our entire nation with Amotekun?

Was it your Governors who had the balls to do what SW Governors did below against Buhari or did you not listen to the video where the commentator stated it is Yorubas who are historically the established and most brave agitative conscience of Nigeria? Fela, Gani Fawehinmi, Femi Falana, Wole Soyinka Tai Solarin etc.


Stop confusing the need to play politics, done worldwide, with the misguided and outrightly false idea Yorubas somehow indulge or empower Fulanis.

Worthless 'one Nigeria' means the wise have to play politics to get to the centre. Is that not what Obi and Obidients are doing today famzing El Rufai, Kwankwaso, Malami, Gumi etal?

Actually .......Onitsha is both literally and figuratively! Unfortunately...Soludo is moving the Anambra mixed-use development to Orumba. Ordinarily, it should be in the Onitsha axis!

The Igbos desperately wanted one Nigeria from the beginning. Nnamdi Azikiwe, Odimegwu Ojukwu, Aguyi Ironsi all fought hard to keep Nigeria one. When Isaac Adaka Boro wanted the Niger Delta to break away from Nigeria, the Igbos were at the forefront of crushing that revolution. In 1966, Adaka Boro established the Niger Delta Volunteer Force, an armed group primarily composed of members of the Ijaw ethnic group, and proclaimed the Niger Delta Republic on 23 February 1966. This declaration led to a conflict with federal forces, lasting twelve days before Boro and his associates were apprehended by Ojukwu led soldiers and later charged with treason. Just a year later, the table turned on Ojukwu and he suffered the same fate as Isaac Adaka Boro after he declared Biafra. Fast forward to this present day. Nnamdi Kanu created a security outfit when he saw that Fulani militia were causing mayhem in some parts of the Southeast, the Yorubas were at the forefront of crushing that security outfit and it was a Yoruba judge that sentenced Kanu to life in prison. Few years after that, the Yorubas are creating their own security outfit to contain the influx of Fulani militia. The same way Ojukwu later became victim of what he did to Adaka Boro is the same way the Yorubas will fall victim to what they did to the Igbos trying to protect themselves from Fulani militia massacre. Both tribes are currently sharing the same fate

Mention the sector where anything works bro, leave all these motivational speech. I want our leaguge to be like SA or Moroccan league at least. What I saw last Night in Morocco, omo, na Europe u will call it o. Naija no near such at all. Our local leagues are dead. I pointed out sectors, i want u to do same. That is how logical threads become, not sentiment. How are u better than Morocco, Tunisia, South Africa, Nambia, Bowswana, etc? Is it is water supply to citizens, Electricity, local sporting leagues, tourism, security, mouth watering unversity infrastructures? What exactly?

Lithiumite:
Good job by helping to further demarket your obi,thanks for reminding us obi is an igbo candidate.....clap for yah sef!!

slivertongue:
Obi will do well and Nigerians will be proud of him.

helinues:
Lots are wrong with those people thinking.They will write something as if they didn't think it true

helinues:
Honestly, lots are wrong with this Obi's Indonesian style of dressing.

Is Obi contesting to be An Indonesia president hence promoting their native wear? Are the Indonesian presidential aspirants wearing aposhe around to do their campaign?

Peter Obi can't be aspiring to be a Nigeria president but be dressing like an Indonesian

helinues:
For some people to even be having confident that Peter Obi can win the 2027 election, it really shows how noobs some of his supporters are.

How much do they think it will cost to win a presidential election in Nigeria, take rigging and bribing out. What's the meaning of I no dey give shishi or frugality in Politics, where is that done on this crust?

774 local governments, 36 states. The campaign, how would you be able to tour the country with public airline? Where is the time to be going through the process ? [/b]You need nothing less than 2 private jets on standby and like 5 choppers. The choppers are for movement within states

Can you even win any Africa presidential election without having foreign support or back up? [b]Who are Obi's allies outside Nigeria?

Senegal and Gambia are on standby to fund the reelection of president Tinubu, Faye's party is using broom now.

We have closed the chapter of the 2027 election as it's concluded before conducted. Even with the opposition uniting in one party, they don't stand a chance not to talk of when they are in pieces

We should rather be discussing about the 2031 election possibility, North Central/South South ticket

lol……
Only the pple benefiting from one person/govt are against another…..nothing personal…. thats how Nigerian political loyalty/terrain works…

And by the way…. No president will perform well in Nigeria… the system is rigged for every president to fail…. It’s a system designed to feed the luxury lifestyle of the 3 arms of govt, impoverish Nigerians, and please specific groups….Its the same cycle every 4 years….

In case some of you have forgotten history, here is what Uncle Wole Soyinka wrote in his memoir.

“Those who, out of sheer hatred, rewrite history should do well to remember what Ndigbo did for Awolowo at his darkest time in politics.

When Chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola and Sir Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto, conspired to politically annihilate Chief Obafemi Awolowo, it was Dr. Michael Iheonukara Okpara, Premier of Eastern Nigeria, who boldly stood on the side of justice and principle.

As Nobel Laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka records in his memoir, You Must Set Forth at Dawn, Dr. Okpara did not just sympathize — he acted. He provided financial and political support to Awolowo’s camp, reabsorbed Prof. Sam Aluko and other loyalists dismissed from the University of Ife into the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and sent Mazi Ukonu and the Eastern Nigeria Broadcasting Service to broadcast the authentic results of the Western Region election from Awolowo’s Ibadan residence, directly challenging state-sponsored electoral fraud.

In an extraordinary gesture of solidarity, Okpara appointed Mrs. Hannah Awolowo, wife of the imprisoned leader, as Honorary Minister in the Eastern Nigerian Government, equipping her with a Mercedes-Benz, chauffeur, and full ministerial privileges.

This was not merely symbolic — it was an open declaration of interregional support and mutual respect.

Equally important was the role of Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe (Zik), then President of Nigeria. When Northern leaders sought to transfer Awolowo to a remote prison in the North — where his safety would have been uncertain — Zik exercised his presidential authority to ensure that Awolowo was instead imprisoned in Eastern Nigeria, where he was treated with dignity and humanity, against the wishes of the Sardauna and Prime Minister Tafawa Balewa.

This interethnic solidarity was not accidental. It formed part of the broader United Progressive Grand Alliance (UPGA) — a coalition of progressive forces led by the NCNC and the Action Group, which resisted Northern domination and championed democratic ideals.

During this alliance, Dr. Okpara courageously entered Ibadan, despite being declared persona non grata by Akintola, to campaign for the Awolowo faction. His reception by the people was so electrifying and defiant of Northern hegemony that he was affectionately nicknamed “M.I. Power” by the Western press.

These actions by Eastern leaders — Dr. Okpara, Dr. Azikiwe, and others — represent one of the noblest chapters in Nigerian political history: a moment when ethnicity bowed to justice and regional differences were set aside in pursuit of a united democratic front.

These truths must be remembered, not distorted or forgotten. Let no one, out of ignorance or bigotry, erase the fact that it was the East — it was the Igbos — who stood with Awolowo when others sought to silence him.

Let us teach correct and verifiable history as it happened, not as some would prefer to rewrite it.
