I just don't understand these people anymore. Will I say they are confused, frustrated or desperate;

Peter Obi doesn't stand chance in PDP, he will loose. According to Wike, a vote for Peter Obi in PDP is a wasted vote.

He moved to Labour Party, Labour Party doesn't have the structure, Obi will loose.

South East votes are inconsequential, they are dot in circle, 5% people.

..and it goes on and on.

I remembered 2015, SE wasted their votes on PDP, so they won't enjoy anything from the government, after all they didn't vote for them. 7 years later, is there any region doing better under this government? Current fuel scarcity, is it not affecting us all?

The question is, why are they so much concerned about PO. Why is he giving them so much sleepless night.

My brother .. me too I dey wonder ooo!! No body is talking about Kwankwaso or Sowore. Is he the only contestants? PDP will attack him .APC too would predict doom on his aspirations. Why don't they let him be!

Eniitankorede:
I also mentioned citizenship of U.K. too because I want you to know that I am not blighted by poverty or want. I see how things are done here and that we use past performance records to appoint people into positions in U.K. We don’t use ethnic or religious sentiments here. And using that parameter of past achievements, only Tinubu merits the leadership position as it is in NIGERIA. We don’t reward failure with another failure in U.K. If Oshinbajo was deputy prime minister in a failing government in U.K., he would not imagine campaigning to come back again and people would not vote for him.

Becos you are a citizen of the United kingdom that is why you don't care voting in s sick old & frail man into power .This was how you guys defended Buhari when his health issues was brought up in 2015.. You all silenced those that made it an issue and confidently said he is as strong as an ox ..now look at the mess Nigeria is in.. This same Tinubu sold him to gullible Nigerians, knowing fully well who Buhari is.. but he still campaign and sold him to win the election anyway . You have a dual citizenship..Good for you .. if the heat is too much for you,you can easily pack Ur bags and leave .abi ?.You didn't consider those that have nowhere to go where things become tight . Nigeria is at its lowest becos of Tinubu .. I will blame him becos without him, this clueless president would not have been president. Una weldone ooo! You guys choose ethnicity over other important than voting in a healthy & credible person . The north is doing Thiers ,so is the SW& SE. By the time this country falls apart, let it be in your conscience that you all that choose ethnicity over competence contributed in its destruction.

Ready100:
my brother is even among them.... they actually refused to release his body to us.

You joking ..Right ?

kettykings:
Any demented fool who believes this did not experience or read about the civil war

leave the civil war behind .. if not you will never forge ahead .

IamWonderful:
But the same Igbos doesn't want to reciprocate the love we showed them

what love have you showed the Igbos ?

gidgiddy:
You people are funny. Your country is world poverty capital, 6th most terrorised country on earth and no 149 on the corruption index. Nothing is working

And you are asking what people want?

The thing tire me . This was how they thought they were the privilege one at the beginning of Buhari regime and started calling the SS & SE 5%. I thought that the SW by now would have been developed with less poverty ,less insecurity and advance infrastructure across all the SW state .
I was surprised to see them fighting to protect thier lands from Headmen. They also avoid traveling on land because of the increase rate of banditry. They also joined us in lamenting over the high cost of goods and services in the country and watch helplessly as our currency loses value before smaller countries like Benin Republic and Ghana.
We are not ready yet as nation .When we do ,nobody will tell us before we carry placard to force our leaders to either restructured the country or devide it.

essentialone:
What do Igbos of SE really want? Biafra, President, Referendum or Restructuring?

what do you want as a Nigerian? Ask yourself that ? Or are you saying that this present arrangements in the country is ok by you ?

SimplePlan34:
Labour party must not be touched because it's the NLC party. So forget a merger unless they would retain the name Labour Party. Kwankwaso can't leave his ppl that is not how a leader behaves. I highly doubt the merger.

Me too .I don't see any positive result from this merger talk.

samuelson06:
Let's forget about the merger. Peter Obi is better alone. Kwankwaso is not the only good politician in the North.

my thought exactly..Both will lose if they step down for the other person . It's better they remain presidential candidate for thier party and look for a viable VP that cab give them vote outside Thier region

temitope27:
Obi will be the vice, cos kwankwaso is bigger than peteru

Kwankwaso will not sell at this time . Remember Buhari is from the the NW and so is Kwankwaso.If PO agrees to be his vice ,his supporters will be disappointed and would rather take thier vote elsewhere because they are not struggling to get thier pvc just to remove APc from power alone , they actually believe in Obi and want him to be the President and not a VP who is useless to the people . Pls we need Obi .
The north just completed thier tenure. If PO choose to be VP he will loose his supporters across board and same would apply to Kwankwaso.. So I think the merger might not work out because both want to be president and thier supporters would be disappointed if either of them step down for the other.

I don't think so.

Your headline is deceptive

motif8:
I don't think u need this. Peter Obi is not for this, he is a nation builder

If you check very well,you will see that he was an IPOB member that crawled out from the Ipob group into Obi campaign group .Now he is exhibiting thier trademarks of threat and violence online. Pls real obi supporters should distance themselves from these group . They will use thier hands to sabotage Obi political campaign.

NaijaRoyalty:
Nobody is talking about Sunday Igboho of Yoruba Nation again

He has been released na.. He has not organised any protest since then that is why there is no news about him .

Goke7:
Exactly, it was actually to blackmail the major political parties to have a SE candidate but since that's not working they have to use the last card-Obi.

Interesting times ahead

Who is they ? Obi is not a south East or An Ipob project . It's a Nigerian youth project ..
I am not from the east but I am volunteering to campaign for Obi .I have never campaigned for anyone in my life but I will try my best, because I want this country to change . I am tired of complaining without any good result from our sick and demented leaders .

gidgiddy:
Not really, but nobody can be in the news all the time. The issue of Peter Obi has taken over everywhere, not just Nnamdi Kanu

However, election season will come and go, but the reason why there is Nnamdi Kanu, will not go away

True.

nnofaith:
Everywhere you go now Obi is the talk. People have replaced DP's of Mazi with that of Obi what is happening? Have our people thrown Mazi under the bus?

Una too dey find trouble ..Haba!! I think Obi coming out to contest has diverted thier anger into something meaningful..Which is the new project on ground . The Obi presidential campaign project.. Anything that will bring peace to the country should be considered as welcome development

LesbianBoy:
Note: This thread is in no way trying to discredit peter obi. Read to the end to understand why i say so and read it without sentiment!


I don't think many Nigerian youths understand the deep mess they find themselves in. I know some people are just catching cruise with this whole peter obi online campaign, but for those who are serious and think peter obi is the answer to the problems of Nigeria, then sorry y'all are ignorant! Our problems are too much, been there for a long time and it's not something external that can be fixed by an individual especially a peter obi with no military background, even looks nerdy and comes from a tribe that is in the minority and UNNECESSARILY hated!

Our problems are just too much.....

From hatred and tribalism

To, Religion

To, oppression mentality (Not just politicians, the average Nigerian love to oppress others when given small power or when they think they are better than the next person)

To, the youths insatiable hunger for money that did not work for

To, "stop hating" mentality (when you call out someone whose job doesn't match the way they spend money, you will be accused of hating by the average Nigerian)

To, "as far as me and my family members are benefiting or are not affected I don't care", attitude

Etc

ITS CRAZY!!!

These are the things that are holding us back and until unlearned...........NIGERIA WILL NEVER BE GREAT! PERIOD! Especially that hatred and tribalism. Nigerians have always hated themselves, but in the late 2000s the tension kinda reduced and so the hatred was not pronounced like that until the 2015 elections, no thanks to tinubu! We have never had it this bad! See, the kind of damage the politics tinubu (because of his selfish ambition to be known as a godfather and then become president) used buhari to play in 2015, it would take years and i mean over 100 years or more to repair. Infact, many of us and our kids and grand kids would have been long gone before Nigeria gets better! Don't play yourselves!


Now let's imagine a miracle happens and peter obi becomes president of Nigeria. Judging by how Nigerians behave, this is how things would be.


Going after politicians that stole money: Buhari just like other nigeria politicians stole money (forget APC media trying to paint him as a saint), now imagine if Peter obi as president goes after buhari to recover the money stolen and use it to better the lives of Nigerians. So y'all peter obi supporters think the north who are buhari's "brothers" will be impressed with that even if they will benefit from it later? These people will see it that a "nyemiri" (like they FOOLISHLY AND STUPIDLY call igbos) is humiliating their brother. There would be so much uproar and you can guess what will happen to igbos living in the north especially where buhari is from! Same thing will happen if peter obi goes after atiku, tinubu etc. Omo, we are in deep mess!



Stopping politicians from stealing money: Let me ask you, have you ever tried taking a tasty food forcefully from the mouth of a hungry dog or lion (especially when it's enjoying the food), what do you think will happen to your hand? Your guess is as good as mine! Now let's come back. I see people on twitter trending "we no dey give shi shi" etc. So y'all think these politicians and their aides who have been chopping free money running into billions for years, will now watch a peter obi stop them just like that? They would fight back! You think all these boko haram, delta niger creek guys, ipobs etc Are all happening naturally? All these guys are being funded by big shots for their selfish gain. I see them popping out massively if Peter obi becomes president and it's the masses that will suffer. I mean we all saw what happened under Jonathan tenure and how they made it so ungovernorable.


Appointments: Peter obi looks like someone that will be fair in appointments, but there would be so many igbos that will still get offended if they see him doing things for the north and that may cause problems in the south east especially anambra where he comes from. Also, if peter obi doesn't use his power as president to try to break out of Nigeria, all these ipobs guys who have been preaching this, would still increase their attack on innocent people.



Senate and national assembly: Peter obi doesn't have close political allies like that especially in the north and south west so how will he work? Also the senate and national assembly are filled with APC and PDP members and many of them will not defect because they know free money won't be shared in labour party because of Peter obi. So you think these desperate politicians will sit down and watch a peter obi (who doesn't even have a military background at least that can make them fear and respect him) come and put laws that will better the lives of Nigerians and dry their pockets? Y'all must be joking!



So these are SOME of the reasons Peter obi being president will be a disaster for our nation. He is a good man but Nigeria is a strange country and his ambition will hurt the masses.

See, forget social media noise, forget your personal opinion, it doesn't matter! Nigeria is not going to get better in our lifetime. If you have lived abroad or currently living abroad and you see how they do things and then compare it with how Nigerians do their thing, you will agree with me that we have a very long way to go!


Lalasticlala

The so called Buhari with a military background and an Ex General to crown it all turned out worse than GEJ regime . Insecurity is at its highest under an ex general who does not have a clue on how to take these monsters . How has Buhari fared thus far ? Is the country not worse than when GEJ without any military background was in charge ?
All what you said is possible but it won't turn out as you have predicted .
Obi can decide to focus on making Nig a productive nation by first fixing our power problems to kick start the nation from the consumption country that we are into a productive one .Trust me, if this alone can be fixed in his first tenure, it will change the tide of the country.

In the areas of fighting corruption,he need not start with going after corrupt politicians across board and disabilizing his govt. He can decide to create an institution that will reduce corruption.. this means that public officials will have less contact with people to bribe them and money to steal . There are many ways to solve problems..which can get the country going without heating up & distabilizing the polity.That is my two coin..
So, if Obi is not an option ,what other options among the contestants across various parties would you suggest would at least address our problems? Tinubu,Atiku, Sowore? Which of them ?

No you guys must care.

Peter Obi need a northern VP to show he is actually serious with his campaign.

How many block voters can Doyin win for labor party ?

Make unna the try dey calculative for once.

For goodness sake ,he is not the VP but acting VP for now just to meet INEC deadline . the real VP will be unveiled. You nor Sabi read? The headline is clear now . Na wa for Una oo!!

SOFTSKILL:
But the Jagaban to the rescue, he did in Lagos and can still do if for Nigeria as a whole

He did it in Lagos bla bla bla.. Just look at the disaster he sold to Nigerians , just becos be wanted to be president..A wicked and heartless man that could not even condoled with his people when headmen were terrorising the whole of the SW . But he was fast to donate millions and millions of money to the north over thier market that burnt down.. every move is not done from the kindness of his heart but for his political ambition.
As for you ,I wish you well in voting for old and sick men.. Buhari did not teach you anything at all .

seunmsg:
It is too early to cry. Na on Election Day una eyes go clear. Sebi Labour Party get structure for Twitter and Facebook. Na that social media structure go mobilize for Peter Obi Pandora on Election Day.

See, even Fayose will still end up collapsing his structure for Tinubu in Ekiti. Next week’s election will be a clear victory for APC. Next year, Segun Oni and Fayose will come together to work for Tinubu. We shall deliver 90% of total vote cast in Ekiti state to Tinubu. Peter Obi no go see shishi.

Why don't you face your old leaders that you wish to support and leave PO supporters alone. This was how you guys blindly followed Tinubu to vote in Buhari the disaster ,now look at the mess we are all in ..You are not even ashamed of your silly self that you are fighting your fellow citizens over idiotic leaders that do not have any care in the world if you live or die . Pls vote your own let us vote our own ..At the end of the day ,you that voted for wicked and cold hearted leaders will be the one to bite your fingers for having no regard for your life, your future and that of your children .

Okunga:
If you don’t have anything reasonable to say

Then kindly Shut Up

Don't do that ..He didn't say anything to have offended you for u to start throwing insult . Pls be civil. Even if he is voting for Tinubu , Atiku ,Obi or for no one ..It's his choice and that does not give you the right to insult him . Remember we are all still going to either suffer or benefit our actions of inactions.

Ladygbola:
Our strengths as Nigerians, we make a joke out of everything....it's a coping mechanism needed to survive in this country to avoid bad mental health.
I will say it again, no matter how much you believe or love a politician or candidate, please don't work hard to destroy your friendships because of them.
Market your candidates with the highest level of decorum and mutual respect.
Hating or insulting your inner circle for not seeing things from the same political perspectives shows that you clearly can't tolerate dissenting views about politicians.

You have written well. I support you on this .

Kingozymandias:
Na you wan go beat am? I pity you and everyone related to you....

If you are ready to pay the price pls by all.meams do proceed . Never get carried away with internet lifestyle to the extent of believing certain things based on what you read online.

David hyudenyi talking can't seat in the same room with certain People...

Are you supporting what he did ? You are really that enslaved in the mind becos of fame and money?.
This is how your kind encourage terrible behaviour becos the person is wealthy ..Why won't our politicians feels like demi-gods, knowing they can get way with thier obnoxious behaviour becos of praise singers like your kind .

bizbrainko:
Tinubu's Lagos will continue to shine bright any day any time. The team Lagos that Tinubu put together is too smart.

You all can hate him as much as you want, but you can't take away the fact that Tinubu and his boys are good

I like Fashola and Ambode.. bring fort these two men and I will leave PO and vote for them . But for Tinubu.. He is to too old, sick and frail to lead us. We dont need another Buhari that will turn London& Germany to his health center

The scorging sun shines on all inhabitant of the land , so does the rain. It's knows no tribe nor religion. So is hardship,poverty and insecurity.Vote wisely.

The movement is growing.

Peter Obi has been trending on all social media platforms in Nigeria for the last 3 months.

In 2014, APC did same for #PMB, #GMB.

Dont say he is twitter president. 8 years ago is not today. Things are changing fast.

He started trending a bit when he cleared for presidency but his popularity boomed when he left PDP for LP last month

Urheadmaster:
I have problem with Nigerian politicians showing off new character especially when election is around the corner.

This is mocking the masses

oga,this was 2015.

Lifestone:
Manslaughter like this carries up to 18years imprisonment. That can't replace life though

Really ...I thought the penalty is just six month imprisonment and a fine .

9jaRealist:
Lebanese are not “white” (or Caucasian)…
Although I understand what you mean in Nigerian parlance.

Nevertheless, just as he shouldn’t be accorded preferential treatment….
We should also try not to treat him any worse just because he’s a foreigner (or of foreign ancestry).

We have millions of Nigerians resident abroad…
And just as we wouldn’t want them treated unfairly, so shouldn’t we treat others.

Let the law take its rightful course…
And may the deceased Rest In Peace.

Our laws are lenient to offences like this.even though it's done by Nigerians. Worse worse,they will charge him with man slaughter.
