Kenneth Okonkwo is sound. His ability to sell PO with the 7-point agenda PO spoke about in Havard got me.

I read those tweets from PO and he did not itemize it. Kenneth did his homework well and enumerated all the points smartly.

Commendable.

That's how you sell your candidate and not attack all those you think are not supporters of your candidate...A certain moniker here should watch and learn...

The intelligent ones amongst the Obi supporters should step forward else the irrational, intolerant, divisive and bigoted folks amongst them will see the Obi momentum lose grounds...

Messi had 14 assists in 26 games last season, the mumu Wasiu fans called him a flop, but suddenly assist matters.

Nothing serious benching cannot do

Warisdis?

Maguire signing was more profitable than Sancho.

Chai!!!

Expert17:
Martial is better than the guy, and Greenwood is 3 levels above him. Fvcking fraud

Expert17:
For now, Rashfod and Martial should continue as CF. Ronaldo and Sancho benched till further notice.

OvoP are we still stacked upfront??

ChristoBam:
No one has and that's the point. Not even the huge signings.
See, I'll probably share the same views as you if it was not the timing. I wanted him sold to PSG last summer. But if you think about it well.

The last 2 seasons before the infamous one, he was really good. Played the second one injured and still had great numbers. This was before the serious injury which we all predicted would have a huge effect on him.

So he's definitely trying to redeem himself from that terrible season he had. It's very cruel to be back to 'Ship him out' after a bad game against a City game that we had no single good player on the pitch apart from probably Martial.

Fixed...

Another very foolish post. "Peter Obi is as rich as Tinubu and Atiku"

Shebi you people see the foolish and wicked people we're dealing with here.

In your wicked mind, you think everyone is as grand a thief as your mcm's. You Stan thieves so you have to look at everyone as a thief.

And mind you, Peter Obi is the only candidate with a verifiable track record of his wealth. An educated banker and a corporate investor.

The other thief was a corrupt government official, the other a junior accountant who abused his position for indicted money laundering. FACTS!!

Donjazet, you're no less than a bush pig...

Thunder fire you and your lineage...Useless piece of shit...

I still don't understand the rationale behind donating money to a billionaire to fund campaign and elections.

It's totally lost on me.

Well, they'll always be delusional folks amongst the lot...

Peter Obi has everything to go toe-to-toe with Tinubu and Atiku but then to prey on the emotions of the average Nigerian, he has to act like a pauper...Sorry, I ain't buying it...

Donjazet2:
I just didn't want to correct the foolishness you wrote up there.
If I ask you why you think obi will not win, or how tinubu or atiku expect to win, you will start stuttering and saying nonsense.

What we know for SURE is that Obi is the most popular candidate ACROSS ALL MEDIA PLATFORMS!

And take note, this is 2022. We're in an era where the vast majority of Nigerians are connected to the internet in one way or the other. If not twitter, then definitely Facebook, if not Facebook then definitely Whatsapp.

HOW MANY PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE DO YOU KNOW THAT DON'T USE EITHER OF ANY OF THOSE PLATFORMS ABOVE?

I myself for instance, all my family members and I mean, each and everyone them are present on WhatsApp. We have an active family Whatsapp group. I can assure you that I know that obi already has 70 votes in the bag. But I digress.

If we are in an age where internet usage is now soo sporadic and one candidate has an overwhelming appeal across all internet platforms, does that not accurately Guage the mood of the nation?

Online polls show obi in the lead.
Professional polls show obi in the lead.
Street polls indicates obi in the lead.

We saw the massive surge for PVC across the nation right after the massive sensitization from the OBIdient movement and the rapid spread of his name since then.
We are seeing the surging popularity across the length and breath of the nation for this one man.

We see people sacrifice their time and resources for this man more than any other political base, but one urchin named Patrick will come here to console himself and cope with the false belief that Obi cannot win.
Delusional urchin.

You're the most senseless poster here...

Rationality is lost on you...I don't understand why a young man your age can be so foolish...It's no wonder you can be easily swindled to donate money for the election of a multi billionaire...

Abeg shift make I see reasonable Nairalanders...

Donjazet2:
He will not win but he will be credited as the man who paved the way for others to come...If Obi doesn't go to sleep after the election and continues building the momentum then he has a realistic chance in 2027 and that's if the incoming government fails to address the challenges facing the country.

You're tired of writing epistles wherein you spread hate? A good start..

I expected a good read but the article is just shallow...

Skimpledawg:
Whether Peter Obi wins or not, I won't fail to commend his balls so far. Man singlehandedly made this election interesting.

Donjazet2:
This is the result of the APC led government and you have a foolish fool like donstupidity laughing alongside those far detached from this reality. The pure illustration of cutting your nose to spite your face.
Foolish fool.

In 2015, it was all about the failures of Jonathan and not the solutions Buhari presented...

Stop highlighting the failures of PMB, it is well known rather, how does Obi intend to address the many challenges we are faced with? This is what I expect from all the aspirants especially the leading aspirants...

Roland17:
Fair point because PO has proved his legitimacy as a strong force..

However, Obi is not going to feast on Atiku’s base and cash cows in the North like Obi is doing to APC in the South and that is why I said he being measured and strategic. When you look at Atiku’s campaigns and travels, you will see that he is focused on cementing his base.

APC don’t seem to be handling the PO situation too well. He has successfully distracted them from everything they are supposed to be doing. I was expecting Tinubu and APC to be hitting the North hard by now to disrupt what Atiku is cooking there but they are still trying to show they have secured the South, especially the SW against PO.

I guess they are going to rely on APC structures in power to deliver some numbers in the North.

The PDP has always been a strong force in the SE and SS and SW so, it's logical to posit that majority of those rooting for Obi in the South are folks who have always voted for the PDP...Obi is eating deep into PDP Southern votes and not the APC...

Ever wondered why the emergence of Obi has coincided with lack of activities on the PDP front in the South? Their usual supporters are now cheering for Obi.

The first page just shows you how hate has blinded many here...The act is condemnable and every sane mind should condemn it rather than rejoice over it because your perceived political enemy is involved...

Donjazet2:
You really have to be shameless to post supporters from your own region.

I mean, can you see any of us here bragging about peter Obis rallies held in Onitsha, Owerri, nnewi, aba etc? We already know that these regions are foregone conclusion, it's a question of margins.

Our focus is on your own region.

Peter Obi will win more votes in the SW than the yellow teeth-stained drug baron will win in the SE, go am money if you doubt.

We brag about our rallies at your doorstep and far into the north.
We brag about peter obi rallies held in Bauchi, Jos, Kaduna, taraba, Ibadan and Lagos.

That's how you know a candidate with national appeal.

Not one with the most tribalistic set of human beings in your safe zone choosing a half dead human being to rule over a country of 200 million people.

You're a very bitter person...Your heart is hate-filled...

You're doing Peter Obi a great disservice with every epistle you type...If there's any undecided Yoruba or even those that intend to vote for PO here, your comments denigrating the Yorubas is enough to see have them rethink their choice...

I hope you won't come back with a reply that Yorubas too are attacking Igbos because Obi is the underdog and he needs every vote he can get...

FergieRaww:
I only know of another team that did so at the weekend

Ronaldo's team?

Theflint1:
The problem is you think a party having candidates in a particular state means they have influence in said state. Ben Ayade is more or less a pariah in C/Rivers but you think him contesting for senate will somehow translate to Tinubu getting votes in Cross Rivers. The prince Otu you mentioned, from what I hear is not popular outside of Calabar and will lose to Sandy Onor (PDPs candidate) in North and Central.

PDP had HOR/Senate and governorship candidates in states up North in 2015 during Jonathan's era, but that didn't stop them from getting under 20% in lots of NW/NE states.

So by you reasoning Donald Duke not backing Atiku means the votes automatically will go to Tinubu

APC having candidates in C/Rivers will not influence anything come presidential elections. Most PDP members/average Cross River indege are Obidients or indifferent for federal, dem no send Atiku and certainly, no send Tinubu/APC.

Ayade will get votes whether you like it or not and the Presidential and National Assembly elections takes place the same day thus a lot of folks who vote for the national assembly aspirants will also vote same party for the presidential elections...

People are not educated enough to make differing choices per political seat...Once an old man opts to vote for the broom, he will thumbprint for the broom across board. That's how most senators and HoR members rode on the back of Buhari's popularity to get into the national assembly...

It is only in few states like Bauchi where I saw voters vote for one party for Presidential, another for Senate and another for Reps...

Theflint1:
Lagos - APC 58%, LP 30%, PDP 12%
Edo - APC 15%, LP 60%, PDP 25%
Bayelsa - APC 10%, LP 30%, PDP 60%
Rivers - APC 12%, LP 60%, PDP 28%
Delta - APC 9%, LP 40%, PDP 41%
C/Rivers- APC 8%, LP 58%, PDP 34%
A/Ibom - APC 13%, LP 33%, PDP 54%
S/East - APC 9%, LP 71%, PDP 20%
Abuja - APC 25%, LP 35%, PDP 40%

Other North Central States, can't say precisely, but expect LP to get 25% in most, APC will win some, PDP will win some, don't see LP winning any.

I can't speak much on N/E and N/W states, but I expect Atiku to make a good showing in most. APC will do well too, but vote sharing go plenty. Other than Kano, don't see NNPP winning any other state, and it won't be by much. NNPP would get votes in other Northern states sha.

South West states other than Lagos, APC will get up to 60% on average, LP and PDP go get like 15% and 25% on average, respectively.

PDP will easily get 24/36.

Cross River? Ayade will be on the ballot for Senate (Cross River North) as will Jude Ngaji for House of Reps (Ogoja/Yala Fed Constituency) and Legor Idagor for reps representing Obanliku/Obudu/Bekwara Fed Constituency...Legor is going for his third tenure while Jude is hoping to start his own 4 years after being elected into the HoR to complete Jarigbe's tenure...The above is for Cross River North...

In the Central Sen. district, the current speaker of the Cross River HoA is flying the flag of the APC for the senatorial race...

In Cross River South, you have the popular Sen. Prince Otu as the Governorship candidate of the APC...

In Cross River, Donald Duke from the South did 8 years then Liyel from the Central did 8 years and Ayade is on the verge of completing 8 years for the North. Power is supposed to return to the South is the unwritten principle of rotation of power is to be followed but the PDp via the influence of Wike gave the ticket to a man from the Central Senatorial district, Sen. Sandy Onor who is Wike’s friend against other contestants from the South including Liyel's choice, Sen.Gershom Bassey...

The APC is not loved in Cross River but the choices of the PDP have made the APC gain serious momentum...

Now tell me, how will a party that will have 2 HoRs member on the ballot and an incumbent Governor vying for Senate in just one senatorial district pull just 8% of votes?

I don't want to talk about Cross River Central and Cross River South Senatorial district...No dey talk wetin you no know...

chrisooblog:
I have a small advice for the Obi movement. I presume your camp is made up of very smart, urbane and modern individuals. Why can't the brilliant experts amongst you come up with alternative ideas, plans and manifestos for free and give to your candidate which he will use in his interviews and debates?

This will help to make him look like someone offering concrete solutions to Nigeria's problem. The Obidient movements projects itself as young and intelligent, well this is where you can put your money where your mouth is. Choose geniuses amongst yourselves to volunteer and provide concrete long term and short term solutions.

This in my opinion will stand you out for your candidate rather than engaging in online fights that will not translate to any real votes, but only strengthen the resolve of your opponents.

I have said it before that the movement have been hijacked by the miscreants amongst them...

They're very sound supporters of Obi but you can hardly hear them because the unintelligent ones are leading the fight...

odizeey:
Someone has played almost half of his career matches as a striker, and you are saying he's not a striker.

This is just the problem I have with Martial and Rashford.

They are neither strikers nor wingers. I don't know where to classify them.

Untrustworthy.

I'm beginning to tilt towards the other guy who said we don't have attackers.

A fit Rashford and Martial will score 20 goals each...At the end of this season, any player wey no perform should be shown the door including Martial...

superfelix:
Another thing i noticed yesterday was how our players can't successfully mark city players and win the ball back. about 2 to 3 of them went to mark KDB on the line, they can't even force a throw in. this happened numerous time
yesterday.

is it that these players no dey gym or just that city players are stronger.

They play like nothing is at stake...

Also, Pep made sure to target Eriksen as he couldn't keep up with KDB...If EtH had started Casemiro and McTominay, we would have done better...

Expert17:
1st goal - he lost possession when he should have played Bruno and Antony through on goal VS Ake.

2nd goal - he was ball-watching while KDB was sizing a perfect ball to Haalaand, no effort to stop or unbalance KDB.


This is another Pobga-like situation.

I am not counting on him anymore...He has had enough time to adjust but no, it looks like he is out of his depths...

ChristineC:
Sancho sub. a simple diagonal pass from him to Bruno sets up a 2 v 1 with Bruno and Antony against Ake. easy first goal messed up.
plus he doesn't play like he's got any dribbling skill.
before he came here I thought that was his strongest attribute.

Sancho is a big disappointment, he just doesn't seem concerned at all...

I am rooting for a front 3 of Rashford - Martial - Anthony...Sancho should be benched...

Also, Bruno needs to be benched, he isn't doing enough as a creative force in the opponents half neither is he dropping deep to help us in the build up play...

Another thing that irked me was seeing our drop too deep towards the goal leaving acres of space for the cut back which is one of City's signature move...

Finally, a double pivot should suffice against top team especially with Bruno struggling for form...

Donjazet2:
People will just be drinking tombo in a beer parlor, dey there dey smoke Igbo dey award votes dey do rubbish analysis.

Only atiku supporters are now obi supporters.

Because you're not seeing the millions of new voters who have never voted before coming out now.
The millions of previously undecided voters now vigorously supporting Obi.

You're not seeing the millions like myself who voted APC Buhari who can't wait to correct that error with Obi.

Just dey beer parlor dey smoke your Igbo dey console yourself with delusions!!

Continue with your coping mechanism, last last, after the shock of next year, una go dey alright.

And you know this, how?

Bruno was poor today, very poor…

Varane was very poor too. A double pivot would have protected the back four more…

Sancho? He is sh.it…

Malacia was uncharacteristically poor…

I hope EtH has learnt his lessons.

Expert17:
We had the opportunity to sign a creative and goal threat this summer - Gakpo

Nairaland Analyst said we are stacked up front

Stacked with Elanga, Scamcho, Rashford and Martial.

Cc OvoP

Martial is not bad…

Clinton4518:
Pep Guardiola �️ - "I wanted Erik [ten Hag] to replace me here at City when I leave but he decided to join United and it is his choice. We have a lot of things in common if you look at the way Ajax played football under him, it's very similar to my style and we have worked together for a few years as well. It is obviously a big challenge to bring United back on the top again and he [ten Hag] likes challenges. For me he is one of the best managers in the world and I wish him good luck at United. At least I know what to expect from Erik because under Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer United came out with different tactics everytime and I used to get confused.



Now the last paragraph got me laughing real hard�.
Ole was a tactless man

He is trying to get EtH to play an open game like his Ajax team always did...Pep na corny man...

Good News for Martial FC!

We're here...
