hope4nigeria: I've done that already my brother. No matter how worse, your own is your own oh. Infact. Tinubu is the next president. Iet him be a ghost. I will vote him.
seunmsg: Baba wey no dey give shishi dey charge $250 for townhall meeting. Anyway, Farooq Kperogi is returning the favor. If you no go give shishi, e no dey pay shishi. Guy man no fit dey job guy man
Seriously though, why is Peter Obi charging as much as $5000 in some instances for his town hall meetings in America? Is this dude scamming Nigerians? Is he cashing out all in the name of presidential contest? What exactly is the registration fees for?
The dullard (Obi) who came out of school with a third class after 8 years in school didn't even know it's not allowed in our electoral law to raise fund outside of Nigeria for election. FG is now beaming a search light on foreign inflows into their accounts. Some of them may be arrested even before the election
hope4nigeria: aaaaah. Go and check many of my post insulting calling tinubu a greedy man, check my Facebook post where I posted Obi/dati support but I hate lies, that's what we're condemning TINUBU for, but now that you people started showing your true self I'm withrawing my support from useless people/tribe thinking they can achieve success alone, without others. It's now very clear that igbos are the most foolish people on the planet. Even when you come to Yoruba land and succeed, you will still condemn your host
A lot of you didn't do your homework very well before jumping into this Obi nonsense. Good that you have seen the light... Now go and delete those posts on your FB and Twitter pages.
Arysexy: And this disgusting thing is a redeemed pastor?
We are waiting for you to do your worse.
With this kind of bigoted mindset, imagine what this one will do to Igbos if his husband wins (God forbid)
Very useless woman
As e dey pain you, e dey sweet us.... She spoke the mind of an average Yoruba person. And I am confirming that to you - she spoke my mind about you guys
zaki2: What exactly has the Igbos done to Yorubas that will warrant such hate? Is it a must to support Tinubu's ambition? There are numbers of Igbos that are die hard supporter of Tinubu. This is a democracy for fucck sake? In 2015, your Oba threatened to drown Igbos if they don't vote his candidate, as if Jimi Agbaje is Igob. Now, another round of threats. Even the notherners are not this venomous to on who Igbos support. We have been supporting other candidates even down to an Ijaw man. For the very first time an Igbo is on the ballot with a widespread support, una don turn am to tribal fight. God forbid! Please, go ahead and start attacking Igbos in your region. That will be one of the best gift you will end up handing over to the Igbos. Adaka
You guys started this with your shameless ingratitude to the Yorubas who accommodated and allowed you to live as if you were in your homeland. You're even adulterating our culture with your bad manners, bad upbringing, and rather criminal lust for money. Yet, you're still being accommodated. You didnt do half of this in Ghana, SA, and UAE before they swooped on you - unfortunately, other Nigerians also have to pay for the sins of these same people.
If we hated you, the number of Igbos in SW wouldn't have been this much. You need to look inward and begin to learn civility and allow the religion you claim to show in your actual day-to-day dealings.
zaki2: Ndi'Igbo are truly an endengered species, just like the aborigines of Australia. Attacks from all angles. Dividing their lands and claiming their resources.
I tell you nobody has attacked Ibos in Yoruba land and I appeal to you not to push the Yorubas into doing that. The day the Yorubas decide to do that, I pity all of you (ibos) in SW.
A video is currently trending online where Tinubu's wife spoke in Yoruba saying they will chase igbos away in Yoruba land and take over their properties before 2023.
Some Yoruba people interpreted her comment to mean.
"We will invoke Lagos deities to chase away the Igbos who refused to learn our language. Those that insisted not to marry the Yorubas, we will inherit their belongings."
This is RCCG “Pastor” Remi Tinubu, Tinubu’s wife and the woman that wants to be “First Lady”

Very hot thread I guess. . She spoke my mind... thank u for being bold. Thats how a leader should talk
“Lower the temperature, It’s not the time to Campaign Yet, they will hear a lot from us” - Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT speaking today at APC Northern Speakers Forum's unveiling of the ‘Tinubu/Shettima Door to Door 2023’ for #BATKSM2023#BAT2023 ♾@KashimSMpic.twitter.com/ngTJydESx6
Yeye, as if Tinubu's wife is not a Christian - will she also vote for Peter Obi? Only an irredeemable bigot will vote for a non-performer just because of religion.
Any structure that is based on substance will definitely stand tall. If you build a castle on lies like Obi is trying to do, the castle will collapse overnight
What does a learner like you know? Are you not an Obidient?
The next president is meeting the former presidents, calming fray nerves down, and holding out an olive branch where necessary. That's how to show readiness for leadership. And doing this with an entourage from all parts of the country.
The other dumbos are making noise here and there within their comfort zone.
Nigerianization: The lie was that Lagos is the fifth largest economy in Africa. I just gave you number one to seven. People should stop being ignorant. How can the economy of Lagos be bigger than countries like South Africa and Egypt?
Just because you want to hype Tinubu. For your information, Lagos is the biggest economy in Nigeria, nobody is disputing that. So make una lie with sense.
How can you intelligently controvert that without providing the correct Lagos GDP? You guys are not learned and I can see that in your candidate too. If you want to go into an argument. go from a position of knowledge.
Dsalvo: Tinubu is not "pro North" and I am always baffled at how you Nigerians can make patently incorrect statements just to support the stance you have taken.
Tinubu is a political leader aspiring to be President of Nigeria. To argue he is pro North you must show , from his leadership belief and political leaning, how he is pro North.
While virtually all Northern leaders, including Buhari, believe in spending government money derived from oil, Tinubu is a big fan of an economy diversified aggressively away from one source of income alone.
Tinubu believes in decentralization of power most Northerners will never contemplate that let alone support it. The North loves bureaucracy and bloated governance whereas Tinubu favors efficient, compact and 'streamlined' models of political and administrative leadership.
I could go on all day but point is that I really hate the dishonest way the average Nigerian is always happy to give a dog they hate a bad name to hang it.
Aside Tinubu's awareness he must compulsorily work with Northern politicians in 'one Nigeria' how exactly is he pro North? Or is that what you conclude makes him "pro North"? Perhaps because he worked for Buhari in 2015 against GEJ then that is pro North to you ba?
Conversely, how is Atiku more liberal and Pro South than Tinubu? Because he married a woman from virtually every State of Nigeria? What progressive political thinking does Atiku share with the South? What liberal policy has Atiku ever pursued for the North or even his native Adamawa?
I really don't get you people. You just take a side and then just craft arguments, however ludicrous or patently flawed , to back your corner. SMH.
We first need to ask if he understands the meaning of "pro-North". Most of these guys are not that learned. To an average igbo man, anyone who is not calling northerners cows, terrorists, etc is pro-North. They are so daft
Dsalvo: It can never be the automatic turn of a region who take a 'food is ready' approach to political power when you always show a disdain for assisting to cook the political meal that delivers power. You only want to eat after others put the effort in to cook the meal. You want the biggest portions as well.
You demonized and rejected the APC at birth yet you wanted to insult and blackmail the Party into 'dashing' you her ticket at the detriment of the deserving Yorubas.
You then failed, over 22 years, to make yourselves serious and dominant players in the PDP because you can never put in time and effort consistently over time. You people are always about instant gains.
Should the serious, strategically calculative and politically powerful Yorubas now join you to throw the slot of the South away pandering to the joke challenge of Obi he chose to prosecute in the joke Labour Party?
In fact Obi's conduct is indicative of everything wrong with Igbos. You demand things and wish to blackmail everyone but you are always found wanting when others are laying foundation block and ensuring the house has the requisite structural strength it needs to serve us all as shelter.
What you Igbos should have done, assuming you people are even into progress for Nigeria, and also assuming you are a patently reasonable and progressive people, is to negotiate with and partner with the SW that already has the capacity and political strength to mount a winning Presidential challenge.
My take is that you Igbo are a vainglorious and unreasonable people who only want the Presidency for the sake of it alone, and to dominate/control others, as you Igbos have historically remained obsessed with gaining without any interest in paying the political dues and partaking in the bridge-building that may make you dominant political players.
A big example is how the whole Biafra noise is dead completely today because Obi is now running. What bigger argument for the insincerity of the average Igbo than that?
If sincere about Biafra then why has Obi's Presidential challenge made you abandon it?
If previously serious about the Presidency why not put in real effort, beyond lip service alone and a sense of entitlement, into grooming a fit and united challenge for it?
The reason an average igbo is either a trader or a criminal dealing in drugs, fraud, etc. Always impatient for results - they want results without commensurate efforts. I also think they lack the capacity to properly plan, clearly see the end goal, and remain steadfast. This makes them look politically immature and therefore unfit to lead the nation. The igbos need to enroll for training on national politics in a complex country like Nigeria. Winning an election and managing a country like ours requires some level of sophistry which no politician from the igbos race has at the moment.
silibaba: if you agree is the turn of the south then why not agree is the turn of the southeast as well?
Obasanjo/atiku. - southwest and north Yaradua/Jonathan - North and southsouth Jonathan/sambo. South south and north Buhari/osibanjo - north and southwest
Looking at the above and if you can be sincere, which region should produce the next president?
But we are not after that now. We need the man with a good thinking cap.
Peter the rock is the man.
We saw and still seeing how Tinubu converted Lagos to his personal atm machine.
They removed Abode from office coz he refused to play to the gallery (to be remitting N500million monthly into ancestor personal account)
Funsho William that would have brought sanity to Lagos was assassinated.
We don't need old people that should playing with their grandchildren in Aso rock).
This election is not about tribe, religion, connection, structure, brother, sister. It is about leadership, competence, transparency and much more.
Obi, where you at?
It is the turn of the south and we have to pick someone who is detribalized, civilized, not a religious bigot, competent, and with formidable track records. You don't go into a national competition with a Lilly-livered igbotic contender without any track records of achievement in public office.
Jagabanofafrica: Obi and his IPOB fanbase are comical. Do they think they will benefit electorally by discrediting BAT?
This election is a desperate 'cold war' between North and South. Stakes are very high because 'born to rule' Northerners who always demand power, so as to be able to control every Nigerian money - making parastatal and process, are at their most desperate , in the history of Nigeria, to ensure power remains in the North.
This is because they are petrified Buhari has done so much damage that any powerful Southerner, like Tinubu, will be demanded by the entire Nigeria to 'change it' for them and 'equalize'. There is real anger and bad blood in the heart of Southern Leaders over the perception Buhari has deliberately put the South in jeopardy to favour the North.
This is even why Atiku and Tambuwal combined desperately and jettisoned the need for fairness by finally destroying the North to South equitable power shift. Such is the desperation of some Northern leaders to hold on to power that they are willing to go into uncharted troubled water that may destroy the unity of Nigeria finally and completely.
Nigeria is now in a silent feudal war between North and South.
Even Kwankwaso has confessed that the 'mood' of the North is to retain power. What he failed to add is that it is the mood of Northern leaders and elite, whose existence depends on political power and patronage, he is referring to.
All in all, this is not Obi's level. It is not Amaechi's level or even Osinbajo's level. Those guys are not battle-ready leaders, like proven war generals, with a dedicated troop of leaders behind them who are ready to go to war with them.
Tinubu is the only Southerner who can battle the North so that Nigeria is reshaped in an image that benefits all to include even the Northerners ready to vote their historical and callous oppressors in the form of Kwankwaso and Atiku.
Obi is a little boy in a big man's game. He is going nowhere because there are levels and this is not his level nor his time. After Buhari, Nigeria will not survive the wrong choice of President for even 6 months.
Those talking about Obi are fantasists. Even in much better times in the past, Obi would never last as a President if he arrives with no legislators as he plans to do with Labour Party.
In today's troubled Nigeria, with so much good versus evil battle going on underground for the soul of our nation, Obi is just a clown in a joke of a political Party.
The North, if Atiku cannot win, would love Obi to win so they can impeach him within 3 months using the legislative majority we know they will always carry.
It is Tinubu, who is the most powerful southerner alive and a man who does not fear them, they are worried about and wish to keep out of Aso Rock by any means possible. Their continuous control of every sector of Nigeria desperately depends on keeping BAT awy from the Presidency.
If Obi had been in Tinubu's shoes, battling for the APC ticket against Northern 'born to rule' political fascism, he would have fled Nigeria to hide in Alaska.
The only good thing about Obi is that he will damage PDP's traditional strength in the SS and SE to the benefit of Tinubu and APC. Anyone thinking Obi has a chance does not understand the real desperate battle going on that cannot be spoken about openly by any of the candidates even though Kwankwaso has inadvertently clued on sharp Nigerians with his Northern "mood" talk.
Most of the BAT's supporters and OPs that I know always show very high standards of intellectual capacity and understanding of politics in Nigeria - like in this case. An average Obi supporter, on the other hand, is intellectually incapacitated and lacks the basic knowledge of the Nigerian politics. Even Obi himself is so daft that he thinks almost like his followers. His penchant for cheap popularity amongst his jobless tribesmen and women and religious bigots validates this assertion. Definitely, Obi is a baby politician in the south and doesn't have what it takes to go into a national election where northerners like Atiku, etc are vying.
The crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, took another turn on Tuesday as the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, met with some PDP Governors, including Nyesom Wike of Rivers State in London.
It was learnt that Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, his Abia State counterpart, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu and other PDP stalwarts from Governor Wike’s camp attended the meeting.
DAILY POST gathered that Wike and some of his PDP loyalists, including Governor Samuel Ortom had traveled to the United Kingdom for the critical meeting.
Recall that following his defeat at the PDP presidential primary election, Governor Wike has been in a cold war with the party’s flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar.
Efforts by the party stakeholders to resolve the differences have continued to prove abortive, as Wike’s camp demand resignation of the PDP National Chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu.
According to reports, the meeting in London centred on the need for the Wike camp to support Tinubu’s presidential ambition.
Crazybeard: I listened to Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, the vice presidential candidate of the Labour Party on Sunrise Daily, a Channels television breakfast program. I must state here that I have my reservations about his grasp of Nigeria's problems, and his ability to proffer solutions. He deflected a lot of the questions put to him and wasn't convincing with his responses.
Yeah, he is "only" a vice presidential candidate. But then, my thinking is that the vice president of any country should be as sound as the president, if not better.
I may be wrong though. What are your thoughts?
I'm curious.
Mr "We do... We do,,," His competence is in doubt. If you compare him with Shettima, it would be obvious the Obi/Datti ticket is empty.
NigerianAngelo: And you that knows so much couldn't understand why all SW Governors are now Christians, or how manage Peter Obi emerged with all following of a sudden?
If you have higher knowledge why these new trends? Peter Obi will be your President, bc your knowledge is not greater.
Because religion is not an issue for the majority of us here in SW. Only a few religious bigots, weaponized by their leaders against anything that is not in line with their views, are those you see chanting Osinbajo and now Obi because of religion. For us, it is competence and the reason we are so blessed and progressing. Have you ever wondered why Lagos is your small London? Im not sure... We elect people based on competence, not religion.
