at the end of the day who is the president?

If obi like make e go enter water n drown na him problem be that

U are still attacking Obi🤣🤣

Wolexyoshi:
Dear Pastor,

Satirically speaking , you actually messed up big time. Here is the best way you should have delivered your prophecy and it will be accepted ONLINE.

"Tinubu is a devil in power and he should be voted out. The Messiah Nigeria need was robbed last time and they gave him third. If Nigerians fail to elect the Messiah this time, Nigeria will be doomed forever and we would need to begged him but he will refuse to contest again".

If your message were to be like the one above, I am very certain you would have gained more followers both Online and physically in your Church.

Meaning OBI actually got the numbers 😂
Thank u for acknowledging it

Obaofaba:
They've started their useless online polls again.

Unna go learn the brutal way.

Online poll?
Do ur own offline and show us.
Even in your immediate family, na Obi supporters plenty pass

mascot87:
Na all this kind nonsense dey deceive Peter Obi but no wahala.

Help us do your poll

Lanretoye:
And one mod brought this to front page…all these kind of posts that will make some people start shouting rigging when real election result comes out.
Nairaland self is a site that is being used to propel the wheel or division and hate amongst Nigerians,if not ,a poll that even up to 98% of its members do not participate is not supposed to come to front page this poll now is credible when they didn’t even participate,whe INEC own that they will participate will become incredible.i hope they will keep this online mandate very well cos we don’t want to hear that it has been stolen again

Oga
Enter your street
Ask 100 people
If minimum of 70 nor choose Obi, call me ewe

slivertongue:
Please display the sample used

Go do your survey and give us the results🤣
If Obi nor win, call me ewe

Hussein035:
This is because everyone know that obi is a fool that cannot think by himself to settle ordinary LP crisis but want to solve Nigeria problems

He should go and become commissioner for miracle WAEC/NECO centres in Anambra since that is the only problem he can resolve

Lolz
U want to fight a federal govt.
U guys should be honest for once.
Stop allowing tribalism take ur brain
Tinubu is destroying Nigeria and u are applauding
If it was like this others before him did It, he wont have been president today
Let's call a spade a spade and stop this hypocrisy

christejames:
Tinupoo's democracy is the more you look the less you see 😂




Hope it doesn't come back to haunt him?

It will.

favor914:
I wonder why those bandits have not come to abduct u, if your Governor has not done well for u, or do u & silvertongue want us to give the praises to President Tinubu for Keeping u safe out of their grip?

When chibok girls were kidnapped, the current VP was the governor of Borno state.
No one made it about him. All the blames ended on GEJ in Abuja
Even the NADECO fraudster called for the resignation of the president
Today, him and the boko haram founder are the number one and 2
U now want us to hold the governor.
U guys are mad sha
U are really taking us for granted

Iamdbull:
So after Some serious convincing, this babe decided to come over. After my hard work of getting her to bed, we start Dey cuddle Omo as things one escalate na so I hear person open door omooo na my mama enter o, as if that was not enough she call me for her front tell me me make I go grind pepper for her. na so the babe carry her bag vex comot one time.

All my steeze reduce one time.

Now Looking at prices of rents these days, we see 1m, 1.2m, 1.5m for self con, mini flat etc.

Is it yahoo ni or sporty or newsspend,com?


Cos me I don tire o and I no carry o na to Dey sleep for car ajeh!

So u can't afford a hotel room 😏

Oga Patrick has been rewarded for his loyalty.

Not for his experience or expertise in that sector but political loyalty🤣🤣
Even if he is from my state and local govt, this is pure a round peg in a square hole.
At least the ogbeide ihama he replaced is an engineer
But Obahiagbon is a lawyer na.
Olodo uprising idea.

Basic123:
What is peter OBI achievement outside politics?

🤣🤣
He was already a bank chairman at age 34😂
Tell us Tinubu own

Basic123:
Can you match Tinubu achievement too
Dont you attack him
Can peter OBI even match Tinubu achievemen??

You people literarily worship peter OBI.
Its only God that cant be attacked

What is Tinubu achievement outside politics?

BATified2023:
tell me one legacy of obi as governor n I will keep quiet

Legacy 1
The biggest industrial layout in the whole of South East till today was built from scratch by Obi
I repeat till today, the biggest industrial layout in the whole of South East was built by him
Browse HARBOUR INDUSTRIAL LAYOUT.

Legacy 2
The second biggest industrial layout in the whole of South East till today (I repeat till today) Nnewi industrial layout was redeveloped and expanded by him.

Legacy 3
He took Anambra poverty rate from 64% in 2006 to 53% in 2009 to 11.4% in 2014 when he left office

Legacy 4
First 8 lane road constructed in south east was done by him

Legacy 5
The first teaching hospital built by a governor in the whole of South East.
The second teaching hospital built by a governor in the whole of Nigeria was built by Obi
( first was UBTH built by Samuel Ogbemudia in 1969)

His achievement in education is well documented
So no need to go into that.

I know u will still open another topic to ask this same question 🤣🤣
We sabi una.
Madness na understatement.
But that propaganda u guys want to use him to do will never be allowed as long as Nigeria exist as one.
Obi remain the best governor ever to governed a Nigeria state since 1999

Kemetian:
NOT ONLY THAT O!

I'm very sure her Akara joint is just a small stool and frying pot with no branding.

Imagine if you as a young man enter the same biz and brand up your joint with a bright red or yellow canopy, with a flashy name like "Akara Junction" boldly emblazoned and visible to all passers-by, yellow uniform to serve, with yellow cap on, and music in the background.

That 150k a month will become 500,000k a month, MINIMUM. Sharp Sharp.

These Nigerian youths don't know business.

In this country, you can get rich selling ANYTHING, so long as you package yourself.

What are u waiting for?
Why are u not doing it

BATified2023:
Good evening everyone

I have been seeing many outburst on Remi Tinubu statement as regards the akara and kuli kuli issue and I see a big difference in the way apc people reason and the way opposition reason.

Like seriously, with every follow up reaction since yesterday I can tell you apc will always win election and it's not because they are 100% perfect but because they understand governance and the meaning of grassroot support.

I do logistics and I base in a very big market in the south west, I met people from every financial circus always both the rich, the average and the poor and what I can tell you for real is that there are many vulnerable people out there than the first 2 categories.

For example, those selling drinks in hold up, those hawking cold drinks in the market majority of them don't even have start up capital. What they do is pally with a chiller owner, collect goods on credit and after sales they come back and pay for goods collected and that's how they repeat the cycle every blessed day, imagine everything the road side hawker collects on credit everyday isn't even up to 20k, come to think about it Remi Tinubu start a grant and those vulnerable people will be given 50k and they will start buying themselves and funny enough they will invite their friends too.... naturally apc have won a vote whereas obidient and opposition are thinking the only way to empower is giving out laptop and make them do tech....will everyone do tech?

How can u empower a widow who have 3 kids to take care of?

Will you give her laptop?

The reality is that we have the poor among us and they have been around since the time of Jesus Christ and will always be around, we even have poor and homeless people in the almighty USA.

The reality is that if opposition wants to win they should get down from their high horse and think of vulnerable people in the grassroots, same method worked for buhari when osinbajo introduced tradermoni

The reality the opposition will never want to accept is that Remi Tinubu was right, there are people who see 50k as 5 million, in that same market we have people who sell okro and all their stock is not up to 20k, if u as a political canvasser gives that kind of person 50, u have automatically won a vote but noisemaking opposition believes everything is millions.


Before u come here to attack me, go to an average market near u and do a market survey, u will realize that 50k u think it's too small n u see as flexing money is what some people need to stock up.

The truth is that, if opposition keeps getting disconnected from the grassroots APC will keep winning.

Those vulnerable people will collect that 50k u see as chicken change and they will vote the person that empowered them

So u mean APC will keep people in poverty just to use them for election 🙄🙄

fuke:
They ar not ready to learn, and they are partisan.
If Obi had made this suggestion, they would embrace it as a bible quote.

Obi will never makee that suggestion in 2026.
Imagine keeping people in poverty just to use then for election.
God will judge you people

BATified2023:
bring d video of where he said it

We have seen many a times where mischievous people like u say things n put the name of whoever u like to drive your agenda

Supply video evidence please

If dey show u the video now
U will say it's AI😂
Una madness nor get cure
So na just to leave una in God's hand

Osidazz19:
Obi said that he helped people start businesses with 10k but these Obi clowns didn't see anything wrong with that.
It's pathetic the level of shallowness among these cult leader followers.

So because Obi did it in 2008
Tinubu and his wife should do the same in 2026🤣🤣
Obi is now the standard for everything Tinubu is doing

fuke:
The reaction of many Nigerians, especially some young people, never ceases to amaze me.
When I read the responses to Her Excellency, Senator Oluremi Tinubu's suggestion that women could start small businesses with a ₦50,000 grant, I began to wonder whether many people truly understand entrepreneurship. The debate revealed that, for many Nigerians, what they do not know about business is far greater than what they know.

Some argued that ₦50,000 is too little to start any meaningful business. Others claimed that selling akara is demeaning. I disagree.

No honest work that puts food on the table is demeaning. With ₦50,000, there are several businesses one can start. In fact, there are businesses people begin with little or no capital at all.

History has repeatedly shown that many wealthy individuals started from humble beginnings. Success is often determined not by where you start, but by your determination, consistency, and ability to grow.

Coming back to the akara business, I was encouraged to see that some people refused to follow the crowd. Just this morning, I watched interviews with two akara sellers in Lagos. Interestingly, both happened to be from the ethnic group that has been among the loudest critics of the First Lady's comments. That alone suggests that perhaps politics played a bigger role in the outrage than economics.

The first interview featured an Igbo man selling akara at Ladipo Market. He quickly turned the interview into free advertising by mentioning his shop address. He proudly said he had trained his children through school, including graduates, and had built a house in Lagos. Anyone familiar with the cost of owning property in Lagos knows that this is no small achievement.

The second interview was with a woman in another part of Lagos. She explained that she invested about ₦12,000 daily and made at least ₦5,000 profit. That represents an impressive return on investment. Few legitimate businesses in today's Nigeria consistently produce such margins.

Many Nigerians underestimate small businesses simply because they appear ordinary. Yet some of these "ordinary" businesses generate extraordinary income. There is nothing humiliating about earning an honest living. Every legitimate occupation deserves respect.
Not every police officer will become the Inspector General. Not every soldier will become a General. Not everyone working in a hospital will become a doctor. Society functions because different people occupy different positions with dignity and excellence.

In my book, Businesses That Can Never Fail, Even If You Plan To Fail, I discuss several businesses that meet every day human needs. Food is one of them. Regardless of economic conditions, people must eat.

I know a graduate in Iyana Church, Ibadan, who, after years of searching unsuccessfully for employment, started selling rice. Today, he employs other people, drives a good car, and owns a beautiful house not far from where I live. Had he considered the business beneath him, he might still be depending on his parents.

So, what exactly is degrading about selling akara or kulikuli? How is it fundamentally different from selling rice, amala, porridge, or any other prepared food? Instead of appreciating the encouragement to explore viable business opportunities, many people chose to attack the messenger, largely because of political differences.

At Akobo, Ojurin Junction in Ibadan, there were two young Igbo men who sold fried plantain every evening between 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. Anyone who observed their business could tell they were making good money. Today, there are many similar roadside food businesses across Ibadan that are thriving.

Must we reject a good idea simply because it comes from someone whose politics we oppose? Ironically, many of those criticizing Mrs. Tinubu today were themselves raised by parents whose livelihoods came from similar small businesses.

What is wrong with starting from humble beginnings? Has the dignity of labour become an outdated value? Must everyone aspire only to white-collar jobs while looking down on honest entrepreneurship?

Many successful business empires began with modest ventures.

The Eleganza Group traces its roots to its founder, Chief Razaq Okoya, who started by selling wristwatches and other small items in Lagos before building one of Nigeria's most recognizable manufacturing brands.

In my hometown of Efon-Alaaye, there was a man who began life as a truck pusher. Before he passed away a few years ago, he had expanded into automobile sales, printing, farming, and construction. He became one of the wealthiest men in the town and left behind accomplished children. His story is not unique. Thousands of Nigerians have similar testimonies.

There is something we can learn from the entrepreneurial culture of the United States and Europe. Many enduring business empires grew from small family enterprises. Companies such as Starbucks began with a simple idea and expanded over time through consistency, innovation, and good management. Small beginnings should never be despised.

One principle I constantly teach young people is this: Start something. Just start.

You may not be able to build a refinery like Dangote today, but you can begin by selling Kerosene like Obat, the Olugbo of igbo kingdom did. You may not establish a manufacturing empire overnight like Eleganza, but you can start by selling simple products. You may not own a major automobile dealership immediately, but you can begin by helping people buy and sell cars like Elizade, the Toyota Magnate and owner of Elizade University located in Ilara-Mokin, Ondo State, Nigeria did.

Every great business was once a small business.

If your starting point is an akara stand, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. What matters is your vision, your discipline, your willingness to improve, and your consistency.

Never be ashamed of honest work. Today's small enterprise may become tomorrow's business empire.

Whatever apc spammers are using to evade NL spam bot needs to be studied else what is the rationale behind those useless posts from them?
Rushing to attack without even going through the message

Lolz
U still don't get the game
When topic like this come, before dey push it, nairaland mods that are paid Tinubu supporters will use different accounts to comment
First dey will bring the topic
Use like 5 different accounts to first comment.
If u carefully analyse the comments, you will see they all originate from one thought but just changing words

TemplarLandry:
Haha. Hobi the Agulu gbajuẹ boy.

When Tinubu made the same exact statement in 2022 at Chatham house
Boldly telling the world that he won't reveal his plans so his opponents will not steal it, u clapped and called him master strategist 🤣
Now the plans he doesn't want his opponents to know has backfired
U now want Obi to help u out😂
To support Tinubu, you have to first suspend every form of sanity as a human being sha

If I am Mr president
I will direct the IGP to redeploy all police officers to their state of origin.
That's the best way to start.
Don't hand over police to start governors.
Mbah has no business been the commissioner of police in Oyo.
Oyetola has no business been the commissioner of police in Enugu
Osazuwa has no business been the commissioner of police in delta

BeardedMeat:
First and foremost, name one common interview question he could not answer. Produce the link to the said video and let's start schooling you or me from there.

It's not enough to come online and spew thrash, back it up with facts please, I'm waiting!

Balambu bulaba blubulu!

Baba leave these people
Someone that supported buhari for 8yrs and now supporting Tinubu is talking about who is dull and who is not
Just leave them to their self deceit

End.....

CharlesCNG:
😂 My brother, the article contained election results.

Your rebuttal contains smoke, hallucinations and campaign season.

One of us brought figures.

The other brought incense.

And "wait till campaign start" is not an argument. It is a prayer point.

The article is about what voters have already done since 2023, not what you hope they will do in 2027.

When campaign starts, we will analyse that too.

For now, try responding to the results on the ground instead of the visions in your head. 😂

U guys are still yet to get it.
Nobody care about off cycle election results that are cooked from Aso rock.
At least till we have someone like Yaradua again as president that will allow INEC and The judiciary to truly function independently.
If you are using off cycle election results conducted by Tinubu to judge 2027 election, then you are truly a novice.

Let me take u back to 2023.
LP and Obi had no elected official backing them.
Not even a councillor.
But guess what
Obi and LP won more states than Tinubu and Atiku 🤣🤣
Wike have to start running like idi amin to start changing results
Okowa, a sitting governor and a vice presidential candidate to PDP lost his state to Obi
The rest you know
Like I said, Nigerians are waiting for Tinubu in January
All the killings, the hunger, the economy reality, we will remind at the poll and this time, we will be ready to defend our votes with our lives
Don't run faster the than your shadow
Just wait and see

End...

CharlesCNG:
My brother, once again, you are debating an article that exists only in your imagination. 😁

The article is titled "The Obi Wave: From 2023 Tsunami To Electoral Drizzle."

It is about one question:

Has the Obi wave translated into electoral victories after 2023?

The evidence examined was Edo, Ondo, Anambra and the bye-elections.

Your response?

"Tinubu should have given us 24/7 electricity."

Whether that is true or false is a completely different discussion.

The article was not titled **"Tinubu's Performance Review."**

It was about the electoral strength of the Obi movement after 2023.

You say everything else is imagination.

Interesting.

Are the Anambra results imagination?

Was LP's 10,000-plus votes in the governorship election imagination?

Were the Edo and Ondo results imagination?

Those are election results, not imagination.

And nobody said you should vote Tinubu because somebody abused you.

The point was that constantly insulting neutrals is a terrible way to build a national coalition.

If five years in UNIBEN, two years in ICC and three years elsewhere taught you anything, it should be the difference between the topic under discussion and the topic you wish was under discussion. 😂

The question remains:

Why has the Obi wave struggled to reproduce its 2023 momentum in actual elections?

That is the article.

Try answering it.

Someone quoted my comment and i replied based on comments of the person
I did not reply to your topic but to the person comments
I hope that sink

Now back to ur imagination again🤣
Obi will be judged by his performance of 14yrs ago that affected only Anambrans in whichever way that suite your agenda,
Meanwhile Tinubu will not be judged by his performance that all Nigerians are experiencing now 🤣
Make it make sense pls

I dont have Obi manifesto when he was seeking for governor of Anambra
I dont know what he promised them.
But i know he did alot far better than any governor ever to govern a Nigeria state since the coming of the 4th republic
The records are there for everyone to see.

Now here is Tinubu that promised me directly 247 electricity with a caveat that if he doesn't do it, i should not vote him again.
So i will leave Tinubu promise he made to me and go and hold Obi for his promises to Anambran 23yrs ago that I am not even aware of🤣
Again
wetin una dey smoke
See logic like Benin ore road 😂
