Who sabi Rinu before Endsars? Show me where and when she supported PMD.

Hypocrites.

Rinu was born on Nov-1,1998 and hasn't reached voting age when the 2015 election was conducted.

ntyce:
Lol

Rinu supported PMB in 2015, children of hate didn't criticize her then...
After seeing Bubu's woeful failure, she switched sides...
They started picking on her..

She's free to support who ever she feels like.

Stop disrespecting yourself sir.

How did Rinu that was a kid in 2015 and still presently an undergraduate supported Buhari in the 2015 election?

Jerryherd:



Stupidity

Katsina , Kano , Kaduna , Bornu all have more Delegates at a primary because they have more Local Government and ward

How will an Ibo man from 5 SE states who isn't super rich like Atiku , Abiola or Tinubu win a Northern Politicians with delegates from over 19 Northern states without Zoning?!



.

What if the man is well loved, well read with intimidating credentials and a GoFundMe donation of #10Billion?

Who killed Bola Ige/ Funsho Williams?

You know better

When the spiritual repercussions of what you are doing start manifesting in your life, you will be moving from one prophet to another for deliverance.

jaxxy:
Tinubu is different from Oby. Tinubu has case to answer to Nigerians so he is in national discussions and for mostly political issues. Any insults are from both sides.

Oby was minding her business b4 Reno leaped like a frog to disrupt and disrespect her with his useless analogy.

Has Tinubu ever been convicted on any crime?


So it's okay to insult/abuse and curse Tinubu but not okay to do so with your hero?






Those who reason with a superb double standard like this plunged Nigeria into avoidable crisis on Jan-15,1966

DMerciful:
Everything is now seen as Igbos vs Yoruba supremacy contest. Look at comments above!

It will not be well with Luggard, Amadu Bello, Azikiwe and Awolowo for putting us in the same country inspite of our general hate for each other!

But to be sincere, when Reno was insulting/abusing Tinubu's teeth or eyes, many of you cheered him on.


Most of the people complaining now also abuse/insult Buhari/ Tinubu and see nothing wrong with it.

LogicBomb8:
All goverment projects are constructed using dangote cement with the exception of none

This is not correct sir.


The Federal Government award construction to Engineering and Building contractors like Julius Berger, RCC, Carper and Dalberto ,Dantata Sawoe, G.Carper etc.

The contractors source their cement from multiple manufacturers.

simcards 50 naira where?

I bought Glo sim card #1 in 2004.

IGBOSON1:
Not denying the virtues of competition in a market-driven economy and how it’s ultimately good for the buyer, but it wouldn’t have escaped the attention of many that it’s only when it comes to a business your envious and bigoted self thinks Igbos are leading in that you’d bring this argument of: ‘competition being good for the masses as it will drive down prices, hence Dangotes’ entry into the Nigerian automobile industry will benefit all’!

How come the so called ‘competition’ in the cement industry (of which Dangote is a key player) hasn’t driven down prices!?

It’s all about greed of the muslim core north hegemony.....wanting to be a ‘leading player’ in ALL commanding heights of the economy, and not wanting the Igbo (who you have designated ‘conquered nyamurees’ by virtue of the uncivil war) to be the leading player in ANY prominent industry/sector in Nigeria!

You did a number on Ibeto and succeeded in sidelining him in the cement industry!

You may be smiling outwards towards Air Peace, but inside you’re bristling with fury that a ‘nyamuree’ has the ‘temerity’ to be the market leader in the aviation sector, hence you’re determined -come hell or high water...by fire, by force- that you must launch that your Air Nigeria before Buhari fcks off in 2023...and corner most of the lucrative international routes as well as airline slots at major international airports just so you can undercut Air Peace! Does anyone actually think those useless rumours of the US wanting him extradited came outta nowhere!? It was to try and sully his reputation and that of his airline!

INNOSON went through similar travails...was hounded and harassed, with his wife slapped by Nigerian security personnel, just because he ‘dared’ to take a bank to court! He has equally been noted on numerous occasions to bemoan the fact that FOREX is difficult to get at gov’t rates! Meanwhile, Emefiele and the CBN are falling over themselves to give Dangote all the FOREX he needs at favourable rates!

What i see here is nothing but GREED by Dangote! He wants his fingers in ALL pies that matter...certainly, those ones where a Igbo seems to be the market leader! It’s all driven by the belief that THEY and THEY ALONE should control ALL the commanding heights of the Nigerian economy!

What is all this long epistle for?


In the early 1980, when Peugeot Assembly , Nigeria (PAN), Kaduna, Volkswagen of Nigeria ,Lagos and ANAMCO, Enugu were functioning, we bought brand new vehicles at #5000.

Now PAN closed down and was eventually privatized. Dangote, Kaduna and Kano States Governments bought shares to invest in it with the parent French company to resuscitate it. We should be happy about this great achievements sir

gwafaeziokwu:
Who is afraid of competition? Innoson is already swimming against the tide with the non regulated influx of tokunbo cars into the country. Innoson do not need 100% of the Nigeria auto mobile share to thrive. He is doing well at the moment, maintaining his market share and trying hard to expand. His newly launched automated plant tells the story of progress.

With a population of 200 million people, there is enough room for everyone to operate, biko.

How does Innoson comes into this matter sir?

Cantonese:
Because RADAR installed on the fighter jets can detect moving humans. In the river radar does NOT pick up. That’s why the question can up about how they found it was 25 people that drowned. If the river was a flowing one, how could the ascertain the exact number. In that report 25 seemed like the exact number. The word “estimated” or “assumed” would have been more preferable.

Okay bro

EastisBae:
What I want? Simple, for Nigerians to decide whether they want Igbos to share same country with them in fairness and justice or for Igbos to have their own country.

Due to same injustice in 1966, Igbos decided to have their own country but other Nigerians invaded their region, bombed them and starved millions to death for them to be brought back to Nigeria. Over 50 years later, same Igbos are being oppressed which only a dishonest person would deny. Due to that injustice, there is now a renewed clamour for Biafra. However, many Igbos especially the elite are still hoping that something could be done to renegotiate our corporate existence so that Igbos would be fully reintegrated. Yet they're being mocked and insulted. The "attacks" on a person like Peter Obi because he is representing Igbos despite being more qualified than most others is cruel. When would the gang up against Igbos end?

In the 1960's, Indonesia (or was it Malaysia) became fed up with a section of their country. They accused that section of so many things just like Nigerians like accusing Igbos. What did they do? They used their Senate to ask them to form their own nation! If Nigerians know they can't tolerate Igbos, why not allow them to have Biafra?

When would blacks start reasoning well like other races??

Nigerians are tolerating and accommodating each other, including the Igbos.


Peter Obi is free to contest. He has said he will contest if the PDP zone their ticket to the South.
Aspirants for the presidency receive many attacks. Whatever Peter Obi has received pale into insignificance with the attacks (often championed by the same people complaining that their preferred candidate is being attacked) meted out to Tinubu.

EastisBae:
Stop talking rubbish!!!
Is there anything else other contestants are doing that Igbo politicians aren't doing already?

Is it not the same Nigerians that beg for unity that are still saying Igbos can't be allowed to rule. Who is threatening the other? You want Igbos to be in Nigeria as slaves and second class citizens to people that aren't better in any way?

Blacks are incapable of deep rational thoughts and that's why they believe only violence can achieve results. That's why we are the worst performing race with no hopes of ever catching up.

What exactly do you want sir?

Igbos are contesting and if they win, they will be sworn-in.

EastisBae:
For those trying to blackmail Igbos that agitating for Biafra again post 2023 won't work if we are denied the presidency, hear this and hear it now; the agitation is rather going to take a more resolute and dangerous dimensions!

Here are the reasons:
1. There is no reason why Igbos shouldn't be allowed to rule in 2023 because everything makes it perfect for them now. Failure to endorse it by other Nigerians will prove to both die-hard Biafra agitators, moderates and pro Nigerians alike that Igbos would forever be treated as second class citizens.

2. It would be difficult for North to succeed itself and also difficult to allow SW to rule again since they've ruled enough, so denying Igbos that haven't ruled for no other reason than we are Igbos won't be acceptable.

3. Agitating for Biafra is an ideology that comes from the mind. It started because Igbos felt they weren't wanted in Nigeria. The perception rose to dizzying heights when Buhari emerged and opened old wounds. If you can notice, why it is reducing again is because Igbos are seeing an opening that there is a chance that we would be reintegrated into Nigeria like it was prior to 1966. However, if that hope is dashed, mark it today that it would be extremely difficult to tame the agitation ever again. And if you think Nigeria can't break, then I'm sorry for you. Nigeria is already facing extremely difficult times and it is not going to end anytime soon. The state is already weakened and a massive force pushing for breakup would be hard to stop.

It is not a threat but common sense, no section would be treated how Igbos have been treated since 1966 and they still believe in the same country. The same yorubas claiming to love Nigeria are doing so because they feel they're getting better deals. Let them pass through what Igbos have passed through and see if they would still love Nigeria.

What is the relationship between the agitations for Biafra and presidential elections in Nigeria, especially 2015 and 2023 presidential elections?

BiafranPatriot:
IGBO people...Take this quote!!!


When people talk about you constantly....YOU ROCK!!!

AS MY IGBO friends Say!!...

IGBO AMAKA!!!

What if the person they are constantly talking about is someone that you hate e.g Tinubu?

Is this a prophecy or political statement or declaration?

He is eminently qualified.

Let Wike, Atiku, Kwankanso, Peter Obi, Tinubu or Osinbajo contest.

Amah70:
The way of corrupt people - perennial investment in effort to grab political power.


That your type of engagement with perenial investment in gaining apex political power - Tinubu and Atiku style - does not work in Nigeria because of rotation of the presidency.

Obasanjo, Yar'Adua, Goodluck Jonathan, not even Buhari engaged in perennial investment in gaining apex political power of Nigeria.

Again, understanding the rules of any adventures , be it sports, business, Academic Exams or Politics is very important.


One principle is to understand your own strengths and weaknesses and how they differ from that of your opponents/colleagues.

Circumstances that threw-up Yar'Adua and Jonathan are very unique and only few people in life are that lucky.

Both Obasanjo and Buhari has been at the top of Nigerian political space since the 1970s and even at that, Buhari consecutively ran for office in 2003,2007, 2011 and lost before finally winning in 2015.


Even in the USA, Ghana, South Africa and UK, those who eventually become President/Prime-Ministers are often consistently in the political space of their countries for sometime before finally reaching the peak.

Penguin2:
Ask Atiku and Kwankwaso why they contested in 2015 even as they discovered Tinubu was supporting Buhari.

They contested because they had a constitutional right to do so and believed in themselves that they can still win.


So, Peter Obi, Anyim Pius Anyim, Okorocha, Ngige can do the same.

Amah70:
All indices of human development in Nigeria point to the SE as the zone with the highest.

Perhaps, you see the standard gauge rail lines in the SW and north as efforts of the SW and northern leaders.

How many modern airports, for example, have been built by state governors in the east? It's the highest number compared with any other zone in Nigeria, if at all you understand the cost of building an airport and its importance.

Please list these indices of human development and who carried out these studies with dates.

Buskolo:
This sounds really biased... the west isn't doing so much better. Except for Lagos, which other western state can boast of unrivalled development?

But those who always scream they are superior to other Nigerians ought to show evidence of this superiority.

ma373733:
Tell that to the dogs


Okay after the primaries Igbos gave Obasanjo votes massively than even south west States


What's hard now to return the favour

If not for anything but for equity sake

Obasanjo/PDP won in areas where PDP was strong and lost in areas where it wasn't.

Why is it very difficult for Nigerians on Social media to understand that it's political parties that contest for elections?


If Peter Obi gets the PDP ticket, he will win in PDP dominated areas, even in the S/west

Noneroone:
lol...you must be a cretinous creature. Where in my post do you "streets"? I specifically mentioned cities. St petersburg of russia like igweocha was once named leningrad in honour of lenin (like lewis harcourt for port harcourt) but was reverted to its name through a referendum. Another russian city will soon try to undergo name change through referendum.

Do you know berlin also attempted name change in 1916 through referendum? Reverting to original name of ph is easy but it'll just be for formality sake cos everyone know its true name and true owners. You prolly think referendum is one of the protocols of secession only. To think of the fact that you called me illiterate...lol fool

There was no city in Port-Harcourt before the Colonial Government created the city in 1913 and named it Port-Harcourt. However Ikwerre village of Diobu was already existing close by and the elders of Ikwerre granted the British the approval to build a port on their land.

The city had however enlarged into Ijaw and other Ikwerre Territories.


Igwe-Ocha is the term used by Igbos to refer to the city which came about in the 1920s years after the port was built.


If you think any city named Igwe-Ocha existed before 1913, please name the kings/Administrators/Warrant Chiefs of that city. Name the traditional institutions of the city, it's boundaries and treaties signed with her neighbours.

Noneroone:
smh...which court case? a referendum by the indigeneous people is enough to decide the name of a city overnight.

What is the acceptable definition of indigenous peoples of Port-Harcourt? Do you have a register of all the indigenous peoples of Port-Harcourt?

Amah70:
But you are the one greatly deluded with thinking that it's right for SW APC to ask for zoning of the presidency between the north and the south to enable the south produce a successor to President Buhari, but refuse the same zoning for the southern regions, because it's the turn of the Igbo to present a successor to President Buhari.

Political parties and NOT the SW has the power on zoning their tickets.


The SW is just one out of the six Geo-political zones and doesn't have the power to determine where each political party zone their tickets.

DMerciful:
The rest of Nigeria hates the Igbo man because of his perceived supremacy

At least, if the rest of the people hate Igbos, the Igbos shouldn't hate themselves.
So how come that this perceived superiority of the Igbos hasn't turned Igboland into a First world zone?

MOTOPARK:
you have made relevant points on the love igbos has for pdp, but fails to acknowledge historic events that took place before and after the civil the war and the hate the hausa-fulani has against the igbos

Do you really think the Hausa-Fulani hates Igbos?

The same Hausa-Fulani pardoned Ojukwu, 12 years after the war, the same Hausa-Fulani made Alex Ekwueme and Umuezeoke Vice president and Speaker of House of Representatives between 1979-1983.

Maybe the Hausa-Fulani don't trust the Igbos with power but they don't really hate them.

The ethno- religious riots in the North were largely a We-Vs-Them fights and not particularly targeted at Igbos. All non-muslims and even moderate Muslims from the south are usually targeted during such crisises.

ma373733:
All of a sudden they have forgotten Igbos voted Obasanjo massively

Trust yorubas at your own peril

Backstabbers

North has ruled

South has ruled

West has ruled

They can't believe it's East's turn

Igbos are greedy Igbos are greedy

We all know the greedy ones now

Any honest person knows it's time for Igbos to rule unless you're a liar and a cheat


Las las body go tell us

Anybody wey see truth make him talk o

The issues goes beyond the Yorubas, it's a Nigerian matter.

maestroferddi:
He is just ventilating his shallow opinion.

If Peter Obi does his home work very well and the election is free and fair, of course he can win.

Nigerians are not as foolish as the purveyors of tribalism and lackeys of fraudulent politicians want us to believe...

Absolutely correct.


Peter Obi, in my own opinion should have started making moves for the presidency immediately after the 2019 elections.


He should have assembled a team of young intellectuals to look at the problems of Nigeria and proffer solutions to them. Then, he should have started giving these suggested solutions to the Government and general public in forms of periodic interviews, during convocations, public lectures like the Platform, Ahmadu Bello and Awolowo Foundations Lectures series, direct and active participations In PDP affairs. He should have sponsored his loyalists in the NWC of the PDP like Wike and Atiku are doing.

Nobody takes you serious in Nigerian politics if you are too gentle and easily predictable.

Amah70:
Knowledge that only you have, not common knowledge for the Igbos. Who will not allow an Igbo to become president of Nigeria?
2023 is the defining moment for Nigeria's integrity. We have been zoning the presidency between the north and the south since 1999. It's common knowledge that it's the turn of the Igbo to present a successor to President Buhari.

Understanding the rules of politics is very necessary to succeed in politics.

This very idea that it's the turn of the Igbos shows inadequate understanding of the rules and it's one of the draw backs of achieving Igbo presidency because it gives those who believe in it a sort of entitlement mentality.

Those with this mindsets sat down for so long, expecting to be dashed the presidency and are just starting to invest in the presidential race, just when the election is around the corner.
