Peter Obi is a man who cares for the poor and downtrodden

But let us put some blame on GEJ that man no try much to lift his people and state.

GEJ only served one term. Idiotic Nigerians didn't give him a second term, so it will be unfair to blame him completely, for any lapses

Why don't they have video clips? Why just still pictures.

I saw the walk in Ikeja and there was less than 400 people in Obafemi Awolowo way carrying out the march. Please ignore these Tilumbu fraudsters.

The igbos aren't known for opening up a settlement.
THEY GO TO OTHER ESTABLISHED SETTLEMENTS FOR BUSINESS.

the Izons are daring and adventurers.
They toured the creeks in search of fishing experience.
The igbos never ever were a marine people and once they saw life in Ndoki they(ngwas) came and they began intermarrying and like Eze Ononankume said, "it didn't make us forget where we came from"
Some Ngwas came to Bonny and that's that... They recided or left just like the Portuguese, British and Dutch.

Ngwa people didn't just come to Bonny.

Ngwa and Ndoki people are the Igbo people that originally populated Bonny. It is mainly because of these two Igbo sub-groups that European explorers rightly wrote, after speaking with the natives, that Bonny was first people by Igbo people.

In fact, a European explorer wrote that Ibani people claim Ngwa descent.

So you can try and hoodwink anybody with all these latter day Ndoki Ijaw lineages. You will have an impossible task linking Ngwa into that tale, and Ngwa people don't exist in Rivers state, where you can usually start applying those your history-twisting antiques, and hope it filters through, to Ngwas in Igbo states.

Now again, no one is more adventurous than Igbos. Igbos set up settlements more proficiently than other people.
Ijaws just go to places settled in, by other people and resettle in the coastal regions of those places. A few years down the line, they start claiming they own the coast, because they do a lot of fishing.

As I wrote earlier on, you will have an impossible task uprooting the clear facts, noted by unbiased European explorers who rightly noted the fact that Igbos peopled Bonny first. We know these Igbos are Ukwa-Ngwa people. Otherwise known as the Ndokis and the Ngwa people.

I can think of a few Anambra communities that will match or even beat Abiriba in grand homes.

But I must doff my hat to Abiriba, as according to this clip, their sons contributed and constructed Abiriba roads. That is something worthy of emulation.

If Tinubu's Iragbiji is nowhere near Abiriba in terms of homes, serenity and foresight of the indigenes, Tinubu does not have what it takes to govern people whose villages look like Abiriba.

"After many years of Ijaw governments in Old Rivers state with their brutalisation and indoctrination and bribing of some Ndoki elders in Rivers state, what do you expect.

Your major problem is that Ndokis in Abia still see themselves as Igbos.

To make matters worse for you, Ngwa people, who are also a major contributor to the first settlers, see themselves as completely Igbo.

You have a mountain to climb"

Ofoigbo I put it to you that no one bribed anyone.
Izon means truth... The truth is Ijaw people from time immemorial have been journeying and establishing settlements along the creeks from the lower Niger upwards. Many have been lost but the one's who we remember and also remember us know their root.
I dare you to ask any Ndoki people to tell you their history and they will mention Aminadokiari.
Is it a coincidence that in Oyigbo- most of the land owners bought their lands from the Fubara-Hart family of Okoloama(Bonny)?
Is it a coincidence that Okoloama Afam is named after the ancient name of Bonny?
Why did the Ohaobu-Ndoki chief tell the same story FROM AN INTERVIEW CONDUCTED BY NNAHMENTV

GOD is revealing the truth, and even in the Azumini Ndoki area, the chief also made mention of the Ijaws who have descendants in Azumini Ndoki(Abia)
Something you and Sleekcode, including AlexBells fail to understand and you have the guts to insult the memory of the late Ononankume VI Eze sylvanus of taking bribe
There is no hill to climb and very very soon, the Ndokis will like the Jews retrace back to Jerusalem (Izon heritage)
They will one day learn the Igbani language.
The river state Ndoki all testify to having their Ancestry from Okoloba-kiri
The Akwaibom Ndoki all testified to the Okoloba-kiri ancestry.
Even the Azumini chief made mention of Ijaws in their midst.
The truth must prevail!

You big hurdle is that every ancient book already has it that the first settlers in Bonny were Igbos.

You also still have to explain away the Ngwa contingents of Bonny and the fact that most of the Abia Ndokis see themselves as Igbos, and it is only Ndokis in non-Igbo states, that have been confused into taking other identities, or chiefs that can easily be bribed.

Are Ngwa people Ijaws also?
Why did every explorer of the olden days make it clear that Bonny people are Igbo people?

Alabo7978:
Even the lineage of the Ndoki people you want to use to claim Bonny and Opobo are telling you they are Aminadokiari ���

Someone should tell this nigga, that Obi no dey give shishi.

You want him to pay you off, so you can go selling to your bosses that Obi bribed you to step down. Iyasikwa

voltron14:
What exactly did Obi do for Anambra state?

You should be blaming Obiano.

He was obviously a very useless governor. Of course I am happy he managed to construct the International airport that was conceptualised during Obi's administration.

Breaking: Peter Obi Caught in Massive Lie About His Achievements!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1S2mkxV3fQ

Someone should tell this househusband that what Peter Obi meant was that 60% of the employees in that company are Anambra indigenes.

This na my opportunity to beg for a ministerial post, when he is sworn in.

I hope he doesn't reject my verbal application

Sowore seriously campaigned for the enthronement of Buhari, who was already known as a despot following his treasonable and illegal dictatorship in the 1980s.

In spite of Buhari's awful human rights record as a military dictator and someone that committed high treason against the federal republic of Nigeria, Sowore supported Buhari's emergence as a civilian president.

The same Buhari that Sowore helped bring into power was responsible for killing innocent Nigerian youths during the #ENDSARS protest at Lekki tollgate.
I wonder why Sowore will forget the log in his eyes and be seeking to drag out a speck in the eye of Obi.

In Obi's case, he is not supporting Obasanjo so that Obasanjo will be made the president.
Obi is not campaigning for Babangida for Babangida to be made a president
Neither is Obi supporting any presidential bid by Enenche.

These are private citizens supporting Obi, so I fail to see the wrong that Obi did.

This is clearly in contrast to Sowore's action, who actively campaigned for someone that carried out high treason against the nation to become a ruthless dictator, to come in and kill ENDSARS protesters as a civilian president.

Condolence message to the family of a Boko haram suicide bomber

Doyin Okupe handpicked the Lagos state coordinator.

Doyin revealed this fact, in an interview he granted Arise TV this morning, so you can go and ask your Yoruba brother why he chose a non-Yoruba man as the Lagos coordinator

Meanwhile you still have to explain how Yorubas fraudulently made it into that list as SE people, thus denying Igbos a few slots

He's a member of the Linus party (LP) so not suprised

Doyin is right.

Since Buhari bought those new trains, Nigeria\s debt profile and skyrocketed.

Nigeria is today, in a deeper economic sh#t since Buhari bought those new trains. Cut your coat according to your size/

Reno Omokri will definitely not like this

[quote author= post=117517581]These are the same hypocritical ani......s accusing LP over two Igbo names[/quote]Meanwhile they are not even talking about the two Yoruba names in the LP list that are masquerading as SEners, thereby giving the SE a bad name

Ttalk:
The few Yoruba that supported Obi initially has all left Obidients with their toxicity, the only people that would vote Obi in SW are the Igbo living there.

It is a fallacy to think Yoruba Christians will place religion above ethnicity and competency. There is no motivation for SW people to vote Obi, so forget your imaginary 25% in SW

Yoruba Christians will massively vote for Obi for the following reasons.
1. Obi will restructure Nigeria
2. Obi is more likely to take the herdsmen menace morre seriously, than Tinubu who will be pandering to his northern masters
3. With Obi, Yoruba christians are guaranteed of a Christian ticket holder, and are more likely to get the listening ear of a Christian president, than Tinub and his Boko-Haram vp.
4. Obi wil run the Nigerian economy better than Tinubu
5. Over the past few days, it has been revealed that Obi was a better governor than both Tinubu and Fashola, judging by globally-accepted indicators, put together by a neutral body.
6. Another related point is that there are more SS and SE people residing in the SW, than SW people residing in both the SE and SS. Their votes will favour Obi. When you combine their votes with the SW Christian votes in the SW, I expect Obi to easily scale the 25% threshold of votes share, in the SW

Aiel123:
Chai!!
Who will give Tinubu 20% in Enugu?
Well done oo

Tinubu will not get up to 10% in any SS or SE state.

At the same time, Obi will get more than 25% in every SW state

BennyDGreat:
Osinbajo might be key person fronting in areas concerning Economy but he isn't the one assenting the key and critical decisions.

He holds meetings....have talks but everything he does is subject to the President and other key people in the shadow.

The Vice-president's power is all the president allows for him.

But the constitution places him in charge of the economy, so it will be difficult not to associate Osibanjo with the woeful economic state of the nation.

BennyDGreat:
Osinbajo would have performed better than Muoghalu....the 8 years spent as key member of government gives him an edge over Muoghalu....to be honest, it takes time to stabilise things if elected leaders are coming from outside the government....

But Osibanjo is constitutionally in charge of the Nigerian economy, and he has really performed woefully. GEJ's administration has proven to be head and shoulders above Buhari-Osibanjo government

There is no way Osibanjo will be in the same level as Muoghalu, who has led a number of UN missions to work on different countries, and also was a high ranking personality in the CBN.

He is also educationally of better stock than Osibanjo also. One thing is for sure. If Moghalu was the vice to Buhari and the head of the economic wellbeing of the nation as the VP, Nigerian economy will definitely not be in its current deplorable position.

I prefer Moghalu over both Obi and Osibanjo, to be honest with you.

Offpointng:
Why do I feel Peter Obi is too ugly facially to become Nigeria's president.

Osinbajo would have been the best candidate and the man for the moment rn if Obi wasn't selfish and greedy

.
Osibanjo is not more handsome than Obi.

My preference would have been Prof. Muoghalu, because of his stellar educational achievements, eloquence and physical presence. He would have been Nigeria's most handsome president

successmatters:
Another thing I noticed is that he might not pay as much as he will want because there's a different dynamic at play now. People are starting to realise that these old crooks are taking them on a ride so they will be demanding more to participate in walks, because economy is hard. The era of paying 1k for rallies are gone, because of inflation, 1k cannot sustain a man who will walk for hours, plus, he has kids to cater for at home.

Tinubu and Atiku should increase the money they are paying

A very probable point.

He possibly now needs to quadruple the fees also

successmatters:
I don't know why they didn't pay more people to march in Lekki, Surulere and Festac.

Tinubu is becoming stingy

Vote for Peter Obi, let's take back Nigeria from the hands of desperate looters that will give you peanuts and enslave you in your own land forever.

That would have obliterated Tinubu's budget projection for his presidential campaign.

He has to pace himself financially, so he can make it to February..

If he had paid more people to rally all over Lagos, Tinubu's campaign would end by late October

Abdul05:
kilode Na wetin dey happen


what a massive Rock

Tinubu is fast winning his credibility

This is just one venue.

They need to replicate this same crowd in up to 6 locations in Lagos simultaneously, just the way Obidients did theirs last week.
Obi is way ahead of Tinubu in Lagos

I hope they are having these rallies in 5 -7 locations just the way Obidients did theirs last week.

They cannot just do a rally in one area and start claiming they shut down Lagos. Tinubu's people must organise these rallies in multiple venues, otherwise they are seriously underperforming

Christistruth00:
Everyone knows they are Ijaw

Why are you coveting their Territory instead of developing your own

You obviously are not aware of what happened earlier on this year in Bonny.
These Ijoids tried to install an AMADABO in a chunk of Bonny territory, an action that was clearly perceived by the real Bonny indigenes, including the royal family of Bonny, as an attempt to whittle down the Amayanabo's power as they see him as an Igbo man.
Of course, the Amayanabo and his people dealt seriously with the situation, and real Bonny indigenes followed it up by releasing a press statement, making it clear that they have Igbo ancestry, while also conceding the fact that some Ijoids also settled around the Finima area of Bonny.

AlexBells:
If we maintain such hard posture it will likely result in a war, which the people of Opobo and Bonny will suffer the most, we can agree on a system where one becomes officially part of AlaIgbo while the other becomes part of Ijaw, we can build bridge across, it doesn't mean we are relinquishing our people it is just that these people are mixed and to avoid major issues that can cause severe bad blood.

We would still interact with Bonny afterwards and we would be able to assist them if need be but to reduce such cost, truth is Nigeria may not even be outrightly dividing but we can build AlaIgbo within Nigeria, in the event that Nigeria divides it would be all for himself but peaceful approach would help us focus on other challenges as a Nation let's go for peace, if it fails at least we know we tried it is not easy but thats the best

The bolded is 100% unacceptable.

Igbos will not be rewarding any landgrabbing back-stabbing moves. It is more justifiable to reward people who didn't try to expropriate our ancestral territories than those who did that.

For Igbos to give up Bonny, Ijaws will have to provide an admirable piece of territory in exchange. But it is unlikely the royal household of Bonny will ever agree to severing their links with their Igbo blood relatives, neither will they be willing to have their land, considered a complete Ijaw territory.
So the best option is for Ijaws to remain in their territory and let Igbos of Bonny and Opobo be. Of course, Igbos realise that there are non-Igbo people in those areas, so they will have to be well accommodated, so that they don't feel like aliens overnight.

Christistruth00:
Some Ga and Ewe are Still Bilingual and their Rulers wear Ife Crowns

The fact that they are bilingual means they had to learn a second language.

I am telling you that Bonny and Opobo people speak Igbo as their first language. Some of them are being cajoled and forced to learn languages that are foreign to them. Those languages are English and Ibani

EngrKemp:
U know nothing.
Igbo is not widely spoken.
Ibani is the language and ijaw the culture.

Nobody cares about ur inferior thoughts and imaginations.
U r low class.
We bought u igbos as slaves n u can't come claim nothing.
U igbos r second class even in Nigeria.
Hard yruth since u don't want to respect urselves

Nwokem, you can bleat all you want, Bonny and Opobo will remain Igbo terrtories till thy kingdom come. Some Igbo territories still use OBA as the title of their traditional rulers and they still relate with their fellow wider Igbo communities.

Igbo remains the number one traditional language being spoken in both Bonny and Opobo.

The first attachment clearlys shows that
1. The lineage of the traditional rulers of Bonny, is Igbo
2. The middle class and indigenes of Bonny are of Igbo descent.
3. The slaves were also chiefly Igbo. But of course, we know that Ijaw cannibals, Ibibio and Edo slaves will also be there

So basically the first attachment clearly insinuates that the slave traders in Bonny were Igbos. That will make sense, because Aro middlemen are much more likely to deal with their fellow Igbo Bonny slave merchants that spoke their language.

The second attachment clearly shows the true map of Igboland and drawn by Basden, decades before Nigeria was created. I know Ijaws have great respect for Basden and his opinions regarding the Niger Delta. Please further have respect for the map of Igboland that he drew

These your land-grabbing won't work. People are just keeping quiet. At the appointed time, you will know you are biting more than you can chew.
