₦airaland Forum

Seun and Nairaland mods, you guys should stop these double standards.

Why is this not on the front page yet while the other post downplaying the crowd hit front page with the speed of light?


The owner of this forum should Know that politics will be the hottest section of the forum until after elections. It's time to step up your work.

All these children on Nairaland self. Just look at how you are contradicting yourself.

Cyberterror:
The Ipob terrorist will be killed and nothing will happen. The northern mafia have concluded plans on this but Buhari's presidency is what is holding them back. They don't want to do it with Buhari as President to avoid blowback. That's why they are stalling the case in court to keep the terrorist till the opportune time to strike.

I love your analysis. You will win 2/3 of South East? Keep dreaming bro.

Truthisunique2:
bro sentiment aside we can't win any state in south west

But a 40% is almost half which is averagely good, south west would back Tinubu big time like 1993 especially when Igbo would be backing theirs, we may get over 40% in Ondo and Ekiti this would be the closest which is still good

But We would win at least 2/3 of the SE at worst, we would win at least 5 of the SS

These are guarantees, and these are enough

Wow!! This is touching. God bless everyone who wishes Nigeria great!!

And to this fellow below, tribalism is a cancer. I pray for speedy recovery.

Whatever you say doesn't change who he is. It also doesn't change the love he is getting from millions of Nigerians who know the truth.

Throwback:
Was El-Rufai a state Governor in November 2013?

El-Rufai became Kaduna Governor in May 2015.

You cannot overule the court that indeed for the DSS guilty. thanks

You also cannot defend Peter Obi who said only Anambra or SouthEast members of APC should have been in Anambra.

Peter Obi is a bigot and cannot hide it.

Why would a state governor go to another state to monitor an election for his party? A whole state governor?

Throwback:
Shame on you.

Peter Obi said we should quote him anywhere, that he was right.

Yet the court ruled otherwise.

That was when Peter Obi despite being Governor, was like a PA to President Jonathan, and got the DSS to hold el Rufai hostage in his hotel and prevent him from his lawful duty of election monitoring in Anambra state on behalf of his party APC.

Besides, what did Obi mean by the below statement?



Apart from Anambrarians, only fellow Igbos are allowed to monitor elections in Anambra even when el Rufai was an executive of APC's NWC and also in charge of the Situation Room team of APC for that very election?

Obi cannot change his ways.

Iran has been painting itself bad over the years. No one needs to add more paint to it.

fiizznation:
The requested interview was just a ploy to paint Iran bad amidst the hijab controversy going on in Iran. Of course she vividly know the Iranian president won't grant her request.

Is like you don't know this western reporters.

That is why Tinubu should have selected Osinbajo, not running by himself. There are kings and there are kingmakers.

Tinubu is too frail to represent this country both within Nigeria and at international levels. Let's tell ourselves the truth.

Lanretoye:
Always shooting his own leg,pele can do very well as the coach of the Brazilian national team cos of his experience,he will be able to select and organize good players too...translate that.

First, I didn't say Atiku will win the North. I said it will be a fierce battle between him and Tinubu.

Second, Atiku is not contesting with Buhari. The massive decamping from APC to PDP should tell you how things are turning out. You will get the clearer picture when campaign starts.

Indispensable85:
There's nothing that suggest that Atiku will win the north simply because he's a northerner. All the previous results from the north in all the presidential election contested by Atiku are there for verification.

Tinubu's problem is not in the South but in the North. The South will be won by Obi for sure. He now has to slug it out with Atiku in the NE and NW.

As it stands now, non of the three candidates can claim majority in the NC. So, this election is highly intriguing.

Indispensable85:
Like I said before, majority of Obi's votes will come from PDP. Atiku is toast.

Companies keep shifting tax burdens to the masses while the government keeps granting them tax waivers. Isorite.

Anyone who thinks this government is for the masses is delusional.

Tribalism can lead you to your early grave if you don't change.

exstreve:
See how dirty a state capital is, I spit on Igbos

Tribalism will never help us to grow in this country. If I can recall, only a particular candidate has been tagged an Ipob and Igbo candidate,

Nobody has linked Atiku to Arewa or Tinubu to Oduduwa, but people keep linking Obi to IPOB

Actually, it's now true that people are too sentimental and tribalistic against the Igbos and not the other way around.

tiger28:
The Presidential election has not been this hate=filled UNTIL the Undemocratic ibos entered the race.

Ibos are too Primitive for ANY Democracy!

What is your problem with the Igbos? It the person distributing the soap Igbo?

BATified2023:
tinubu shared oil n u condemn it but peter obi sharing soap is cool

U igbos are d greatest hypocrites who condemn people for d same thing u derive joy in doing

Tinubu bowed to greet a northern king n u igbos condemn it but peter obi knelt down to greet atiku a fellow aspirant n he suddenly becomes d most humble man on earth

I am happy people are seeing d real hypocrisy of d igbos

What sort of biometric registration system allows double registration but only detects it later? Then goes on to delist the person. What type of technology is INEC using for God's sake?

It was well timed. She didn't plan it today, because na when e dey pain pass.

inoki247:
I believe if I have beef with someone i will say it to the person's face....

And not wait till when he or she die before I come dey voice out when he or she can't hear nor reply me anymore Na Coward dey behave like that....

So, what are your valid points for thinking only Tinubu is competent?

Kagd10:
All of them have. Count from 1960 and see.

At the stage we are, what we need is competent head and only Tinubu has proven such!

Three regions have not produced the president since this political dispensation: SE, NE, and NC. Two of those regions are major contenders. One of them should win.

It's not about language, but about region.

How do you know that Peter Obi cannot win?

Trinitycian:
Atiku is a unifier. That's who we need. We don't want Tinubu, an ethnic champion. Peter Obi is better, but his party can't win. So Atiku is just the neutral candidate. I don’t care about his tribe.

My friend, you are gradually heading to the realm of stupidity and I'm not ready to go there with you. Sorry I tried, but I can't help you any further.

CheapHomes1:
It seems English language is a problem for you or you don't even understand yourself. You said in your post:

"First, Nigerians in diaspora will contribute a good portion of his campaign funds.

Second, it will do a lot of good to his campaign."

My question was based on the "second" hence...



For your number 2 point you raised above, are you saying that before obi can "win the hearts of some of those in Nigeria", he now has to travel to visit nigerians in Germany and US first? Where's the sense in that?

There could be reasons why it was done so. Do you know whether it was the daughter's wish for a low-key wedding?
His son is also like that.

thedio:
This shows Obi is not charismatic, he is a bad leader. Imaging an ex gov,8yrs gov for that matter celebrating daughter weeding on a low key.
Where r the commissioners that worked with him,his aids and political associate. He does not need to spend a dime those ppl should be able to get it done without calling on them.
One gud turn deserves another.
This is africa, if u r gud ppl will swarm around u; ur siblings, cousins, even ur driver will make donations is kind,gift and cash for a day like that.

I stated two, but maybe you didn't pay attention.

1. Nigerians in diaspora will contribute a good portion of his campaign funds.


2. While addressing Nigerians abroad, he may also win the hearts of some of those in Nigeria. Many are yet to settle for a candidate.

CheapHomes1:
You said "Second, it will do a lot of good to his campaign".

What are the points you say you gave to support your claim above? Care to share?

Buhari was invited by chatham house to the UK some time ago. How does being invited by a US university make obi the best candidate?

I gave you some points, unless you didn't read it.

CheapHomes1:
How will the trip do a lot of good to his campaign?

Buhari was invited by chatham house to the UK some time ago. How does being invited by a US university make obi the best candidate?

There are many reasons why the trip is important.

First, Nigerians in diaspora will contribute a good portion of his campaign funds.

Second, it will do a lot of good to his campaign.

Obi's popularity has gained grounds so far because of his continuous presence in the media. While addressing Nigerians abroad, he may also win the hearts of some of those in Nigeria. Many are yet to settle for a candidate.

Remember that he was invited by a US university. But he is taking the opportunity to visit these places, so it's a win-win situation for him.
I know we support our candidates for different reasons, but let's be objective in criticisms.

Segzy19:
Fruitless meeting

Are the diaspora Nigerians going to vote?
Do they have PVC?

Say you, not we. Anyone who was not sensible enough to see that Buhari will be a failure will not be sensible enough to see that Obi is different.

kayperry:
After 2019 where was Peter obi & his principal in the public space,

Associating with people/electorate prior to election is the usual gimmicks of politicians, they sit with c'moners and dine with c'moner by now if a toddler should know that

History & experience have taught some of us "high hopes" always end with disappointment.

The very same high hope we had in Buhari, now he dey carry us where we no know people should think don't fall for cheap gimmicks

Una dey use this pishure deceive veteran presidential contestant Atiku.

They are campaigning for their governor and not for someone who started contesting before they were born.

OP if you wan prove point, post the video make we check something.

Party members right? After warning them, they should go and force them to vote for APGA na.

Exactly what I'm saying. If only the cities are voting, Obi will have a grandslide victory.

The message needs to go to the grassroot, because that's where the bulk of the vote is coming.

SmartPolician:
OBIdients are both educated and enlightened people. However, the message of Peter Obi needs to get to the grassroots.

For the fact he is the least corrupt makes him far better than others. He is also very prudent with funds, which is exactly what Nigeria needs at the moment. I can go on and on.

For your worries about cabals, that is another reason I will always go for him. You know why? He will be coming with his own cabal, so the old ones there are inconsequential.

And why do you think Tinubu and Atiku who are dancing to the tune of Northern politicians now will stop dancing when they get there? You should know that Tinubu's emergence as a flagbearer was highly conditional.

By the way, I keep wondering how people are underestimating Obi's tenacity. You just called him a lightweight politician. If I may ask, can you elaborate why you are calling a two-time governor of a state like Anambra lightweight?

kayperry:
if you say BEST then i might as well say how ? base on what ?


what some of you need to learn about government, is the propensity to succeed is greatly dependant on capacity, anyone that will "Fix" nigeria must have the strength to religate the cabals

i concern someone like peter obi a feather weight politician who can't rescue Nigeria from people who religiously believe they own Nigeria, Obi's might be good buh capacity-wise he is not fortified enough to do the job required

You don't need to dignify him with a response. I wonder why they think everybody that supports Obi is an Igbo.
The tribal card is hilarious.

Ibadanpikin:
I am a typical yoruba man,from Awotan in Iddo local government of Oyo state.

The first word in your statement only shows that you reek of tribalism.

BATified2023:
Igbos are beginning to eat their humble pie now

The same people that call others ass lockers n waka waka for making consultations are now the one applauding pandora for doing d same waka waka

One of them even said Peter obi doesn’t move with entourage,ask yourself who wan follow am?

Who e get wey go follow am

U can’t compare an entourage with ooni of ife,femi otedola,gbajabiamila to this entourage that is unknown

Real recognize real n not some social media madness

Whether he wins or not, it will not affect the supporters any more than it will affect you. You people should face Obi and leave his supporters alone. There are both bad eggs and good eggs in every political supporters.

One thing I assure you is that, no matter how you cry fowl about his supporters, they are not going to bark down.

Let me burst your bubble. I'm in a Tinubu Whatsapp group disguising as a supporter. I know all the callous and insensitive campaigns they are planning.

olawonder:
He’s just gone to apologise for your utterances and you are here doing exactly the same thing again! You guys hv mental problems o!!! This man isn’t going to win and you’ll hv yourselves to blame when the reality catches up
