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.

NigerianAngelo:
You can up your game and I appreciate your efforts. But Peter Obi will be President of Nigeria.

And we will make sure he exceeds 25m valid votes.

Not everybody tolerates nonsense.


Three Hail Marys for Peter Obi and I.

I really pity most of you... You know nothing about the Nigeria you claim to belong.

Bravetunde:
Osunoroginal,a Yoruba Muslim
But they will vote for a condemned kriminal,killer of the youth and northerners and 10 Percent Shylock the occultic,wicked, heartless,old, dirty, irritating,drug dealer,drug addict and very sick plus dying Tinubu.
I have been wanting to ask,since northerners regard afonjas as fakke Muslims I will like to know do you fakke Muslimns wash your blokos,feet and mouth before praying.like the reall Muslims.
Just a honest question.

Frustration will kill you if you don't take it easy.

- He started his campaign on a wrong-footing using religion - a smart person should have known that doing so would pitch other groups against you. Even though we are not godly in Nigeria, we are sensitive to religious issues. The north which is largely Muslim is seeing him as a Christian candidate - a label you dont want to have in the north. With the Muslims representing close to 60-70% of the northern population. it would be easier for the camel to pass through the eye of a needle than Obi winning this election.

- Obi's supporters who are largely from his tribe have also made him an ethnic candidate. The way they shout and make noise about his candidacy on social media and abuse any other people not supporting their views makes it look more like an ethnic agenda than any other thing. Other ethnic groups are seeing this and wondering why they should not support a candidate from their own tribe too.

- Obi's lack of legacy in the state he ruled for 8 years. He has nothing he can reference or allude to as a show of his competence and capacity other than the holier-than-thou appearance and messages - e.g. I don't give shishi, I didnt take pension, etc.

The best speech... It's always good to support performers. Selling them is always very easy

AtikuOkowa:
PDP will be happiest if this rumour turn out to be news.

The Chess is played well.

(5)Wike has to wait 16 years of Tinubu and another northerner(Shettima) for him to be president
(4)He can't write result neither can he influence people to vote for Tinubu even in Rivers
(3)He will lose his prestige and influence in the eyes of people who consider him party man and in APC.
(2)He will be used and dumped and nobody can take serious again since he can do anty party or dump PDP.
(1)Amechi will thank God for giving him opportunity to correct his political errors and return back to PDP.

Frustration... Won't you be happy if he is on your side? Rivers is not Obidient - simple! 1m votes lost to Tinubu.

XerXers:
Lalong tendered apology to council of Bishops for making irrelevant reference to the Pope, ordinary plumber wan do strong man for blasphemy, you should be thanking the traders for their restraint

Lalong can call their bluff and nothing would happen to him. They have no right to harass him or do anything to him - who are they and what authority do they have? A set of lazy people cramming the Bible (a book containing nothing more than the stories of how illiterate herders of middle east lived) and living off the sweat of others. Worst case they would say he should not attend their association or church or shrine again. But he is a politician - he needs them and won't do anything that can rob him of their votes and that of their gullible followers.

You can see the responses from the villagers who want one of their own to rule Nigeria by force. Let's see if your candidate would even come 3rd in the election. Sebi, igbos votes alone, and that of the few bigots in SW and north can make your candidate the president. Continue...

donaldking100:
Foolish tribal bigot.
I'm sure you didn't condem the killing & burning of Deborah by muslims.
Imagine what would have happened to that man if actually it was an Imam he impersonated.
That is what muslims call blasphemy.
Try to de reason before talking like the fool you are.

Shut up... dumbo! People that should be in the village chasing lizards around are also contributing to discussions by civilized people.
Is it stated anywhere in our constitution/act the uniform/garb that can only be used by bishops/evangelists/pastors?

Again, Obi's supporters have demonstrated the trademark of their origin and proved to the world their very low level of civility. At this age and time, we have seen people mobbing a man for exercising his fundamental human rights of association.

This happened in an igbo-dominated market in Abuja, not in Okija or any of the villages in the eastern forest of Nigeria. Nigerians should pay attention to this and all those illiterate religious bigots in the north and SW who think the coming election is all about the religion of the contenders should have a rethink now. The day you be mobbed for a simple dissenting view by the same set of illiterate traders from Okija you are supporting will soon come.

Yesterday, I saw a number of pictures of a man referred to as a “Fake Bishop”, who is also a plumber “apprehended” presumably by supporters of Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi in a market in Dei Dei neighbourhood of Abuja. His offence? He was accused of appearing as a “fake bishop” at the unveiling event of Bola Tinubu’s VP, Alhaji Shettima also in Abuja weeks ago.
I was particularly shocked that some highly respected persons on Facebook/WhatsApp and elsewhere celebrated this mob justice against this particular Nigerian. Since the advent of this election cycle we’ve seen and observed a heightened level of harassment of citizens via death threats, arson threats, verbal and now physical abuse against those who happen not to support Peter Obi’s candidacy.
A Catholic Church pastored by Rev Fr. Ejike Mbaka known as Adoration Ministry was a victim of this mob action, Femi Kuti’s African Shrine in Lagos was at the receiving end of arsonists over his refusal to support Mr. Obi for President.
We’ve seen supporters brandishing guns and threatening people who might not support Obi’s candidacy. A former media assistant to former President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri complained consistently that the life of his one year old daughter was repeatedly threatened.
Obi’s supporters are not alone in this unconscionable act, a disabled Obi supporter was reportedly beaten for displaying his paraphernalia. However, Obi’s campaigners have demonstrated the most amount of intolerance and harassment of his opponents.
The latest mobbing of the Bishop/plumber is barbaric, unacceptable and criminal. I condemn these conducts and urge Nigerians to stand by their rights to choose their leaders without pandering to fear, harassment and threats by anyone.
No set of persons or groups should be allowed to ride roughshod on anyone simply because they refuse to follow their preferred candidate(s). It is DEMOCRACY, founded and built fundamentally on the freedom to choose.

Obi, the noise maker, wasn't invited

onez:
As the the north coalesce around Atiku, the south need to be proactive. It is now obvious that Tinubu was sold a bad idea in Muslim-Muslim ticket. Those that sold that rotten idea are now embracing Atiku. The south should as a matter of urgency unite. The south west should queue behind Obi. There is NO way to Tinubu's victory. I mean NO practical way to Tinubu's victory. Buhari's body language will even tell you he is against Tinubu's success. Atiku is steadily gaining momentum in the core north. Obi has several route to victory. SS, SE, part of MB and SW are already in the bag. If the south don't unite, we may be having an ATIKU presidency in our hands. I urge all true Omulabis to reconsider their position and queue behind Obi. I also urge those who can pray to continue to lift Obi up in prayers. We must settle this in the Spirit. This is getting critical.

When was this one released from Okija shrine?

Obi and his zombies won't like this

Demolakay:
Dey talking about registered voters population,ur talking Abt d overall population. It's not a secret DAT d Igbos makes up 35-40percent population of Lagos.Go to Alausa ND checked at d bureau of statistics.
Well u cannot support a drug baron ND NT b high! I pity ur ignorance..

Shouldn't you therefore be grateful to the people who created a conducive place you could to run to from your erosion-ravaged eastern villages/forests. If we have not governed well in Lagos, would you be here? You guys would learn a lesson in the forthcoming election. A lesson you would never forget.

CoolAmbience:
Only ignorant people support a candidate without any landmark achievement as Governor.

Maybe, you should start by sharing Obi's landmark projects in Anambra....

He would share a federal government road now... those guys are dumbos from the south eastern forest.

May APC happen to you soon.

The blood is igbo na... Omo ale Yoruba

rusher14:
Just wondering why such isn't replicated in Anambra state.

They don't pay taxes?

When their leaders take their shares, nothing is left to do anything. Soludo has just applied to borrow N100B - may be with that, there will be enough money to share as usual and also build some mushroom healthcenters for them.

ybn1306:
If religion isn't important, then ethnicity, which the regionalism represents, should also not matter. COMPETENCY should be instead

Who is the competent candidate?

See my response to a mumu like you up there.

Chinonye2022:
hypocrite is when u care about the region that will produce the president other than competence who is now the bigot

And who is the competent candidate?

He who asserts must prove. If you say someone is competent, be ready to tell us how you came to that conclusion.

Don't come and tell me someone who can't provide correct statistics and numbers is competent.

A man who deliberately lied that the $12 dollars of the state he invested in his family business is now $100m or didn't know the value of his not-well-thought-through investment of state's fund is now only worth $3m.

Yeyenatu...

Chinonye2022:
And Apc is just finishing 8 years of Muslim president and another Muslim must to succeed him is that not a hypocrite my dear

Who cares about the religion of a president? Is presidency now to be rotated based on religion and not region again? Is presidency a worship center?

Start using your brain the bigot.
