The truth is politicians can't be trusted.

You can say that again! I laugh when people just carry politicians for their head like gala... calling them Messiah.... Nigerian politicians for that matter!

I just pray that some people's hopes are not dashed after 2023 elections..

3ple9iner:
I have a feeling this guy would later step down to support another candidate.

Obi too may step down for Atiku, he has always referred to Atiku as his boss.

Dude or she is right.
In as much as u don't like a party orbits candidate u shud be objective and use ur head.

What has dressing got to do with provision of electricity, good education etc?


The ones that dressed well before him, what did they achieve.

Oshiomole did better for edo than obaseki in my opinion but dresses in a very bland manner.

Same for governors of cross river states. Good dressing, abysmal governance.


Don't be sentimental.

Please tell them!

Gbajia have been in that house for only God knows when and don't have a single project in surulere and u are hear clapping and displaying your foolishness.
These people are just lucky that Lagos was once the capital of Nigeria for over 77years so they loot and loot.
Can u mention one constituency project gbajia has successfully executed for that number of years he has spent there?
Let them make river state or akwa ibom or anambra capital for just 30years, Lagos will be a playground

At the bolded....do you live in Lagos? When last did you pass through Surulere? 2 years ago

Go to Surulere and verify all Gbajabiamila's projects. Surulere is one of the local governments on the mainland with the best infrastructure in Lagos State, courtesy of Gbajabiamila.

I pass Surulere almost everyday. Even the okada riders in Surulere and Mushin testify of Gbaja's works.

You are either lying or plain ignorant of the status of things!

Wintertime:
Okk

Other states need to speed up their infrastructure

Obaseki how far

Obaseki ke?

You don forget say Edo no be Lagos??

Be careful ooo!

SOURCE

Of course! At least 90% of Obidients were PDP supporters and apologists about 3 months ago. They just decamped to LP along with Obi.

If peradventure Obi decides to strike an agreement with Atiku before the election (Nigerian politicians can never be trusted or predicted), the Obidients will simply begin to sing the Atikulated song like they did in 2019.

A lot of Nigerians lack principles!

casualobserver:


do not compare yourselves to kenyans, Kenyans are far more literate and educated than Nigerians. Kenya has a literacy rate of 83% in Nigeria it is 60%. Digest that for a second, 4 out of 5 Kenyans is literate, 3 out of every 5 Nigerians is literate i.e 2 out of every 5 Nigerians is an iliterate, statistically if you round up that is closer to 1 out of every 2 Nigerians being an iliterate!!!......and when you talk about literacy what is the quality of the literacy? Kenya doesnt fund Universities they focus their spending on secondary and primary education. The result is that not only is the foundation and quality of their basic education better, anybody who goes to University in kenya pays for his own education and therefore is more focused and comes out with a better degree unlike Nigeria where from primary to University the quality is dodgy because the money is not enough to provide good education at any level.

The result is kenyans are more likely to be intellectual in their thought process than Nigerians. kenmyans are more likely to be focussed on the real issues unlike Nigerians simply because we Nigerians are poorly educated and hence more likely to be moved by emotion tribe/religion than reason and critical thinking. So dont use Kenya as an example. Intruth if it were Kenya they would probably be asking what are peter Obi's past credentials, why did he spend decades importing kethcup and mayonaise when he could have established farms to plant tomatoes, eggs and vegetable oil and manufacturing plants to make ketchup and mayonaise in Nigeria, thus providing jobs in Nigeria instead of abroad.

Honestly, Peter Obi is lucky he is not contesting in Kenya, the kind of support he is getting in Nigeria especially from so called educated people and youth, he wont get in kenya, they are too educated and enlightened for that. He is lucky that the predominant factors in Nigeria are illiteracy, products of a poor education system, religion and tribal sentiments.

You spoke the truth!
Many Obidients aren't asking the critical questions...all we see and hear is just blind support!
So much illiteracy in our land, Nairaland is a prime example!

Hehehe. Chai! The way Nigerians live on Twitter, if they can live like that in real life, Nigeria won't be this way and the government won't be taking us for granted.

You're very correct!

It's a result of joblessness, lack of vision and focus on life...SMH!

You can't claim to want to correct evil by doing evil yourself. Even God himself said in the Bible... don't repay evil for evil but conquer evil with good (Romans 12:17-21)!

SMH!

ImperialYoruba:


SE delegates backstabbed Wike. They went for Atiku dollars and abandoned their brother.

But the SE want the SS, where Wike comes from, to support Peter Obi in 2023?

Anyways, 2023 is around the corner...God keep us even after then.

3ple9iner:
Good states shouldn't wait for FG to do somethings for them.

Very correct!

That's the way all governments must go to come out of the financial mess the country is in right now.

If only our state Governors will think outside the box on how to generate IGR and attract investment like Lagos and Akwa Ibom states through infrastructure and industrialization, more states in this country will become self-sustaining like Lagos, fewer people will migrate from those states to Lagos, and many other mini-Lagos and Mini-Dubais' would emerge in Nigeria.

It's very possible, only if governors would think, invest in their states and not steal state funds.

No sex until marriage!!!

Nigerian men can go, I'm not gonna budge even if I'm 60

Keep it up...OP and Sonali Chandra! You're on the right track as far as God and the Bible is concerned.

I'm a guy and I remained a virgin until I got married at the age of 30, that was 11 years ago.

Incidentally and as God would have it, my wife was also a virgin and she is very close in age to me.

Just like you too, I was inspired by my mentor, Pastor Bankole who remained a virgin until he got married at the age of 36 years.

Ignore the detractors and focus on the ultimate goal... trust God alone for strength and he will help you achieve your goal and eventually, give you the best man for you as a husband.

Best regards.

Kyase:


I understand your point vividly
I have always voted against whoever the pastors or CAN told us to aside 2011 when I voted Jonathan

Now back to the topic
We the northern Christians in the APC delegate power to some people and we trust them, they’ll be making consultations and we know they’ll come back to give us feedback and the way forward

In Christianity we have chain of command/authority so I choose to wait

Lastly I won’t just blindly vote for a candidate they tell us without knowing the motives behind it, I still owe that to my conscience
Hope you get my point

Sure...I do. All the best!

Kyase:


The problem here is that
Peter Obi can’t get even 5% of votes in NE and NW
He can manage 15% in NC
He can get 15% in SW too because of Igbo population In Lagos
But if thugs are unleashed (which will happen, no two ways about it) he won’t smell 5% in SW
Peter Obi can’t win more than 6 states as things stands
Tinubu is running with the election already and it’s painful

This is not about emotion

The Muslim that were supporting PO in the north had since jump ship to either Atiku camp or Tinubu all thanks CAN

Something is cooking and I’m on ground to tell you this
I was in the meeting of northern Christians in apc here in Abuja, and we are just waiting for direction to head to by our leaders and that direction is pointing towards Atiku

Fergie001

In my opinion, must you wait for your leaders (Christian) to direct you before you decide whom to vote for?

If you are a Christian, why do you have the spirit of God in you? That a pastor or Christian leaders should be controlling you... telling you to vote for Atiku or Peter Obi or Tinubu or Joe Biden

As for me and I believe every Christian who understands his/her position in God, nobody and no Pastor or Christian leaders can direct me on who to or who not to vote for.

Everyone should be allowed to vote for his/her choice as God leads him/her.

So why did SE delegates not vote for their region's candidates in APC and PDP primaries

Very good question, sir!

They always pour their venom on APC, PDP, FG, Buhari, Tinubu BUT almost always fail to hold their tribal and regional leaders accountable for their failures..

Na wa oooo!

Who is to blame here?

Na Google Maps?

Here's the problem with the so-called champions of change in Nigeria. In their own corner, they will steal, tell lies, beat traffic light, disobey traffic laws, evade tax, bypass their prepaid meter (energy theft), yet everyday, they heap curses on Buhari, APC, PDP, government officials etc.

Like we were taught in principles of law the higher institution, "he who comes to equity must come with clean hands".

The leaders of Nigeria aren't it's only problem, even the followers and masses are part of the problem!

DIVAD2000:


I am a lagosian

I am from the mainland

And please don't use this standard to claim Lagos is modern.

The second worst city to live in is definitely not"modern"

Then why do you still live in Lagos? Why are you doing something you hate? Why are you living in a place you detest? It's simply not right, to speak politely!

Relocate ASAP to any other state that you feel is more modern than Lagos or better still, just JAPA to anywhere outside Nigeria and leave the mata!

It's a free world!

Arutan:


To me, God has a way of doing his things. A muslim / muslim ticket could be the great plan of God to liberate Christians and this country from all its divisive issues. It is important that this country succeeds. One day Dogara might become a presidential candidate and would only have the best option of selecting wike as vice president - a Christian/Christian ticket. This might be a precedent to resolve the country religio-politically.
Allow God to have free reign in the affairs of this nation. If Obi wins then all well and good and same with any other candidate. Let’s be civil in our political discuss and show ourselves as an example to the rest of the black race. Jehovah God is in charge of this nation and he will perfect all things for us daily.

Sir, you spoke my mind! So succinctly put!

I hope a lot of Christians learn from this...that God sometimes uses the foolish things of this world to confound the wise - 1 Corinthians 1:27

Mr Ope Banwo, let me give you a little gist in order to get your evidences next time.

Next time you go online with anyone, you can easily record your screen without permission from the meeting hosts or seminar hosts.

On your Windows computer keyboard, just press the Windows button+Ctrl+R, give it a few seconds, a timer will come up on your screen, showing that your screen is being recorded. Your screen is being recorded using the Xbox game bar, pre-installed in every Windows 10 operating system.

When you are done with the recording, click the stop button. The video will be stored under a Captures folder in your Videos section.

I use it a lot in the last 2 months. You can use Google to check out the steps.

On the topic, do all your best to expose the fraudsters. They can't bring good change with fraud. Let Nigerians be wise!

It is the presidency that Obi, his supporters and the Labor party are concerned about, not any governorship or legislative positions.

They forget that being president from 1 party while all the governors and legislature are from other bigger parties will equal to failure in governance and even impeachment at the slightest opportunity.

In the USA, why are the mid term elections taking place in November this year so important to the Democrats despite them being in a slight majority in both houses of Congress and having the presidency? It's because they know that if the Republicans take both houses, the Republicans will obstruct all their efforts of governance.

In countries that run parliamentary system of government, even when a party wins an election, they still have to come to a consensus with other parties to form a unity government, like United Kingdom, Germany, Israel.

Our Obidients don't understand this. You can't win only presidential election and lose governorship and legislature elections. Your government has already failed before it even started!

maybet081:
apologies.

Thanks sir!

Have a great week ahead!

maybet081:
a Yoruba head slammer, we know whom you are voting, and I am not speaking for christians CAN did.

Lies... I'm not a Muslim...you should have checked my profile and comments history before commenting.

Anyway, it's just your opinion, never a fact!

In fact, to think that all Christians will only vote for Peter Obi and not vote for any of the Muslim candidates proves that you are a novice in Nigerian Politics. Many of us vote for competence over emotions, family, tribe or religion. We have gone above such levels of voting for someone simply because the person is our brother in family, faith or tribe.

Note that it's wrong to call Muslims headslammer, I doubt that you and all so called Christians who call Muslims such names are true Christians.

Jesus Christ who is the head of the church that you are forming to defend through politics said himself that he came to die for the whole world - those who believe in Him and those who don't, including Muslims.

Jesus Christ's command to every Christian is to preach to and win unbelievers, and not call them unprintable names in the name of politics. Don't understand the kind of church you people go to or what they tell you there or what kind of Bible you read.

By the way, CAN doesn't represent me nor what Christ came to the world for, thus CAN can't dictate to me or any other Christian who understands the Bible what to do or not to do.

Happy Sunday!

maybet081:
remove every one in Nigeria who believe in Jesus Christ. Their votes are already collected in the obidient vessels.
Then continue.

I believe wholly in Jesus Christ. I am not voting for Peter Obi. In fact, I will be voting in 2023 by God's grace for the 1st time since 2011 partly because I want to vote against Obi...he isn't competent and people supporting him are blind to many issues surrounding him.

I have gone to INEC to transfer my voters card for the purpose of 2023 election. So many Christians don't believe in Peter Obi. Take that to the bank!

Reference:
That is the reality but he should not be discussing the prospects of other candidates but focus on selling his own wares.
Peter Obi may not win but he is definitely taking votes away from his party in large numbers.
And even Atiku wins it will not be by on the altar of a clear and decisive mandate which is itself a big problem.

I have said it previously that an Obi presidency though a breathe of fresh air will nonetheless be beset by huge problems.
He will be in power and in opposition simultaneously because the entire Legislature (the upper and lower houses) will be against him, the powerful Governor's Forum will also be against him making the hard decisions needed for reforming the country almost impossible.

It may just become a lame duck presidency.
However I salute his bravery in shaking the tree of liberty.

You have spoken well.

Unfortunately, a lot of Obidients say that they are not interested in any governorship but rather the presidency. They forget or are ignorant of the fact that without having members of the legislature and governors in their party, they will have things tough.

DispatcherLagos:

Lol.....thank God you now know where I'm coming from. And like most of us in the East and South, it's either power goes to the East or remains in the north. It's a win-win situation for us.

Besides, Ifeanyi Okowa is an Igbo man

This is no news to those of us who know a bit about Nigerian Politics and who have been on this forum for almost 3 election cycles now.

We know the origin and the sponsors of the Peter Obi brouhaha and wave...those who don't but simply follow the bandwagon are simply political neophytes.

2023 is almost here...God preserve us beyond it. We shall meet at the polls.
