My brother I am not from Akwaibom, I am talking based on my personal experience. Maybe the places you mentioned are where you also work and that's where you meet them. I am talking of where I meet Akwaibom people.

EmekaA125:
Oil and gas industry in Abuja, Lagos and Enugu serving Madam and doing housework. Continue lying and deceiving the public

That guy doesn't know what he is talking about.

There are a lot of Akwaibom guys in the oil and gas industry, I mean alot of them. I had been to a platform where apart from the OIM, almost every other person is from Akwaibom.

They bring in their brothers the moment they get in

Maybe you started boarding flights this year .....
All these people that would enter plane once in a year and then come to judge reputable companies.

Airpeace is one of the most booked airlines in Nigeria and you expect hitches here and there.

Some airlines are booked just because of availability and lack of choice.

WesternOligarch:
Lol, am not even being tribalistic or biased....airpeace is a garbage airline and only a fool will gamble with his life by using such airline. Nigerian airlines have issues but airpeace is the worst.

My top three airlines are:

IbomAir
ArikAir
Green Africa Airlines.

Cry cry...you ain't seen anything yet

peepydelano:
You and your tribe are the crazy and confused ones, very confused set of people.

You are going crazy because Nigerians want a better Nigeria, kpele. You should be ready to wipe your tears � because it's just about to begin ��

peepydelano:
Maybe it’s the illusion called Biafra that needs Peter Obi definitely not Nigeria.This moment you all want Biafra and don’t want anything to do with NIGERIA but during election they shamelessly come out to start contesting election.Confused people

He is a northerner so he will tow the line of "brotherhood", Peter Obi do not need Kwankwosa as vice.

Kwankwosa is a regular politician that Don't have much to offer.


A technocrat should be sort to run with Obi.

I do not buy into the idea of Kwankwosa at all. Asides Kano where else does Kwankwosa have political relevance?

Who knows Kwankwosa in the middle belt, SS, SE and SW?

People started mentioning his name simply because he was being associated with Peter Obi.

A lot of persons in the south do not know what he achieved as a governor of Kano state.

iwaeda:
https://dailypost.ng/2022/07/04/why-those-asking-kwankwaso-to-be-peter-obis-running-mate-are-not-politicians-galadima/

I have never been comfortable with Kwankwosa because he is just a regular politician.

He isn't different from the politicians we have in either APC or PDP.

Besides, outside Kano I don't think anyone knows him

Peter Obi do not need him, with the support from Middle belt, SS, SE, and SW, Obi is good to go.

A technocrat who has distinguished himself in business or acedamia should be sort after.

Kwankwosa is just trying to negotiate his chances of being the presidential flag bearer which will never happen.

He should remain in his NNPP let's see what happens at the poll. He won't get even a ward in the entire south.

One thing is common among them....they never ran a successful business, they all stole from Government....they are criminals

Abdul05:
Fashola ,tinubu , osinbajo and Co are all considerable Intellects.....

and ,they are also rational and political healthy unlike the fake one from the land of Biafra,,.

This shows that you have never owned a business before. Entrepreneurship doesn't look at your face.....make the slightest mistake and your business goes under.

Some of these businesses manage to survive in this harsh economy. If the guy feels that the pay is poor he should open his own business or better still get a Keke or taxi. Do not steal your employers money else you are common criminal!

WatchYourSix:
People are evil ooo..15k per month in this harsh economy....when the employee now steal your money you'll start lamenting how you helped him with a job and pay you back with wrong.....

Some employers are just setting themselves up with all these cheap labour.....i domt care how much your cost of production is... if you cant pay decent salary, then you are not ready to be an employer of labor...do it with your family

Your low IQ won't allow to ask pertinent questions like:

1. What are the identities of people behind new voter registrations in Lagos, Kano, Kaduna etc?

2. Who are the people behind internet data usage in Lagos, Osun, Kano etc?

FreeStuffsNG:
Not true sir. I used to think that Igbos are a majority in population and that we have more Igbo outside SE but data has proven otherwise. There are more Igbo living in the 5 Igbo SE states and Anambra is no exception..

My hypothesis is that Igbo population has been inflated. The most emperical data show that 20% of Igbo are domiciled outside the SE, 80% are domiciled within the 5 Igbo SE states and the Igbo population is actually a minority population.

Luckily, numbers do not have emotion. Below are the facts:

1. Due to history, cultural affinity, linguistic spread of the Igbo language and Igbo-speakers, most of this 20% Igbo living outside Igboland will be more in states such as Rivers, Delta, Kogi and Benue that border the 5 Igbo SE states than far away places like Lagos, Kano and Abuja.

2. Data from recent inec voters registration for Osun alone is higher than the total registration in Igbo South East (screenshot below)

3. Satelite image of Aba, Onitsha, Enugu, Ebonyi compared to Ibadan show a small area of dense population https://www.nairaland.com/7186666/aba-ibadan-satellite-picture-aba

4. Data from 2021 JAMB registration show that 447,857 are indigenes of SW states that registered their states of origin as Lagos, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, Ondo and Ogun for JAMB against 320,306 indigenes of SE that registered their states of origin as Abia, Imo, Enugu, Ebonyi and Anambra. Only 20% (70K out of the 320K) of the JAMB candidates of SE origin live outside the 5 Igbo SE states.

5. Demograhics data of internet subscribers also support my hypothesis like other demographic data captured with better data capturing tools, https://www.nairaland.com/7203013/states-nigeria-largest-internet-subscribers that validated my hypothesis that Igbo population in SE is inflated and the Igbo are a minority group in terms of population.

6. Data from overall inec voters registration show Igbo among the lowest with the only Igbo state, Anambra state, at the bottom of the top 10 https://nairametrics.com/2022/06/30/top-10-states-with-the-highest-number-of-registered-voters-as-of-june-27-2022/

The politicians knew this reality all along hence no serious effort to canvass for votes aggressively in SE like they do for other zones.

SE may just be same population as states with similar land size as it like Kaduna or Katsina or Oyo and the SE is by far the least populated of all the geopolitical zones.

As things stand now, no serious contender can bank on votes from SE and a serious contender will not get the voting strength incentive from the SE.

The SE is a minority vote region even far behind the minority tribes-dominated SS from these data.

Data from JAMB show the Igbo population is abysmally low, so low that only Imo state featured in the top 10 states with registered indigenes sitting for JAMB and for Igbo dominated schools, the Igbo were no. 4 top for universities with UNN ,No. 8 for polytechnics and no single college of Education in Igboland made it among the top 10 colleges of Education with highest registered JAMB candidates !
https://utmeofficial.com.ng/jamb/jamb-registration-statistics-2020-2021-by-course-universities-polytechnics-nce-and-state-of-origin/

On number of JAMB applicants who are Igbo, Anambra state is the Igbo state with the highest number of registered candidates yet was No. 16 on the list far far behind! And all the JAMB candidates registered for JAMB in the whole of SE just adds up to about the total candidates in Lagos state alone or sum for Oyo and Ogun.

As at now the best and cleanest data indicate that about 80% of Igbo are domiciled in the SE while 20% are domiciled outside the 5 Igbo SE states.

Out of the 320,306 Igbo candidates in the 2020-2021, max.(when you add total candidates that registered for JAMB in those 5 SE states and assume they are all Igbo) only about 250K(~80%)account for candidates that sat for exam in the SE while about 70K(20%) are Igbo candidates who registered outside the SE to represent the total Igbo candidates.
It makes sense because you have more Igbo domiciled in SE than outside SE.


So where is the high Igbo population I used to imagine??

Internet subscribers; low

Inec registration; low

Jamb applicants writing Jamb in SE; low;

Jamb applicants based on State of origin; low

land mass; low
Yet
Analogue Census; High(?)

So all these data conflate to prove that Igbo are a minority group by population but have inflated numbers which call for scientific enquiry.

If someone checks your background it will turn out that you are just one frustrated poor idiot somewhere in iragbiji

12Monkeys:
Igbo people are pure evil .

One of the major parameters for success is knowing exactly what you want to do. Soludo knows exactly what he wants to achieve and he is doing just that.

For this kind of laid down plans and achievements means that the Governor works 24/7. You can't work less and achieve all what he has achieved.

He is surely doing well.

The support Peter Obi is getting for having done his job prudently well has impacted a few of current governors, even Wike started paying nysc in Rivers, commenced payment of gratuities.... something he never thought for 7yrs as governor until Peter Obi used it to market himself.

Long life Prof Governor. May you succeed in your good plans

Even Tinubu supporters know that any person supporting Peter Obi is doing it out for pure desire for the country to work.


Anybody who tells people to get their PVCS is indirectly and sometimes directly supporting Peter Obi.

APC and PDP supporters want INEC to discontinue registration so that winning margin for Peter Obi will be manageable for them

This is very beautiful
Peter Obi remains the best candidate.

I must commend strongly my brothers from Edo state. They are doing imaginably well in creating awareness about Peter Obi.

This is the best we youths can offer our country at this point in time. This country must be salvaged from the hands of acute and chronic corrupt policians masquerading as leaders.

Peter Obi for President!

Rivers / Enugu

Peter Obi for President!

Gradually people like are beginning to see that Peter Obi isn't only online afteral

Don't worry about where he becomes the president, let sensible Nigerians who want a functional country worry about that. Tankiu

Honor10:
Peter obi can only be the president of Biafra.

You called Nigeria a zoo, and you are expecting the votes of animals from the zoo. No way!


Anyway na Atiku/PDP go suffer am, their block votes has gone to the wind.

Says someone who buys all his drugs at a "chemist's" shop

ATEAMS:
Oyyana...no big deal


But the people are too local shaa


Free consultant full internet naaaa...

Beautiful as ever.
Without prejudice to other people's candidates, most people who support Peter Obi are desperate to see a functional Nigeria.

They believe in him because he is the only one we can all hold accountable. Unlike someone who had to settle delegates with millions of dollars. Even the delegates have collected their shares and as such do not have a moral backing to demand good governance from them.

You and I have spent our data, money and time in campaigning for Obi, we have all the right to demand good governance from him and that's exactly what he will offer us.

I am fully awake my brother. Maybe you need to grow up and face reality.

What people like you term online will soon be offline. Young Adults who would be voting for the first time in their lives because of Peter Obi will make the difference you people never anticipated.

Churches are waking up and encouraging members to get their PVC just because of a new hope in Peter Obi. If you think that does not matter, then I am sorry you are "unhelpable".

Today, the political discussion is between Peter Obi and others!

Starhearts:
U re a day dreamer
You still haven’t woken up to the reality staring at you.

Hello! Peter Obi can only be the President of Nigeria online. Occupying Aso rock is pure undiluted fiction.

No way in Heaven, and on Earth that such fictitious belief will materialize.


It’s just like saying Arsenal would win the next champions league!

You people should re-strategize because this current strategy is lame and sensible Nigerians have taken over the political stage of Nigeria.

Peter Obi remains the most qualified politician to pull this country out of the woods.

No amount of blackmail will deter Obi supporters.
APC fielding Tinubu and leaving Osibanjo was a great one for Obi. Most people who support Obi would likely support Osibanjo because he is also good

AshiwajuFoward:
The extremist tendencies and intolerance being displayed by Obi's supporters ought to worry any right thinking person. But I take consolation in the knowledge that their candidate won't win the race. Else, we for hear am for this country. It's that ipob extremism that they've imported into Obi's campaign. If Obi enter kperen, they go turn themselves into Gestapo that'll be threatening and harassing those with opposing views. Tufiakwa.

All these antics won't sell. We support Peter Obi and not his "supporters". You will be seeing more of these in the future because these men of the underworld would create many online accounts to cry on how they were formally supporting PO and how they are withdrawing because PO's supporter told them he had Gwagon but he only has corrola .

We have grown beyond that and we are miles ahead.

True Peter Obi's supporters know what they want. Most of them are educated with good knowledge of economics, so they won't stop supporting Peter because of any other person.

I am happy alot of people are talking about him now, nobody, not even PO himself envisaged what is happening now.

Where individuals use their hard earned money to print posters, create short videos and use their time and data to campaign for him without knowing Peter in person. This is unprecedented.

Your headline is misleading.....

A friend of mine from Venue State once told me that the biggest enemies of the Igbos are not the Hausas but the YORUBAS. I agree with him 101%. The inevitable will befall all enemies of the Igbos and their most dreaded fear about a risen Igbo will stare them in the face. This will surely happen

Previous thread https://www.nairaland.com/7167527/operation-get-pvc-alaba-international

This kind of politicking is not the way forward.

The first huddle for Igbos is to overcome the voting aparthy.

If this is successfully achieved, I tell you that Igbos will become the most politically relevant tribe in Nigeria.

This is because, not only that they can vote in their own governors, but that they will also be able to determine who becomes governor in most states in Nigeria.

Just imagine all Igbos in Kano or Lagos voting on the election day, it would take heavenly rigging for candidate they vote against to emerge to as governor of that state.

Secondly, any government of the day would seek their cooperation as he would miss millions of votes if he goes against them.

I must admit that Tinubu was very focused even in the face of opposition from his own people, he remained resolute.

That is something to be emulated. However, Osibanjo demonstrated good knowledge of actionable and effective plans to move the country forward but unfortunately he lost out.

Then my Igbo politicians were very selfish, they couldn't team up to have a consensus, nobody supported anybody but him/herself...that kind of politics won't take Igbos anywhere, same with south south.

In all honesty, this year has brought Igbos closer to the presidency than before. I suggest that they align with south south because it's easier for them as brothers.

Vote Peter Obi for president

gidgiddy:
I have been predicting for the last 3 years here on Nairaland that in 2023, PDP would field Atiku, and APC would field Tinubu. That prediction has come to pass

But one thing I did not forsee was that Peter Obi was going to run. Unless a political earthquake happens, Peter Obi has zero chance of winning the Presidential race with the Labour party. Personally, I dont think Peter Obi, or any Igbo man for that matter, can win Presidential elections in Nigeria without zoning, and zoning has been done away with.

However, we Igbos have no business electing another Fulani man and Notherner, in Atiku Abubakar, for another 8 years. It would be sacrilegious for any Igbo man to help a Fulani man had over to another Fulani after 8 years

We also have no business electing another Yoruba man, and South Westerner, in Bola Tinubu. The South West have had 8 years Presidency and 7 years Vice-Presidency, we have had zero. It would be sacrilegious for any Igbo man to help the South West get what would amount to their "third term"

Therefore, if you are one of the Igbos like me who wont be voting, then abstain from the Presidential vote. However, if you must vote, vote Peter Obi, and leave the North and South West to fight for the Presidency

"Onye ajulu, adighi aju onwe ya"

This guy remains my most respected APC member....I love him.

He touched the entire Nigeria in his plans of growth.

Give me Peter Obi and Yemi Osibanjo and I would start celebrating before the election is over knowing that whoever wins is a win!

ITIQ:
We have a JFK in the making.

"You cannot wish this country well and vote for someone you do not believe in."

-Oshinbajo.

Osibanjo and Peter Obi remain the best from the south.

An electioneering campaign between these two would be devoid of too much thuggery as both men have their names to protect.

But a "Tinubu" is "NO" to any sensible Nigerian.

You are doing well brother.

All efforts must pay. Someday you will be proud to tell your children your contribution in bringing Nigeria out of the doldrums.

Bonesbreaker:
Me and my team HIT THE ROAD AND VILLAGES CONVERSING FOR PETER OBI IN NORTH,start yours know get your friends start the conversation tell them about peter obi we need this change now!!

Peter Obi for President.

People who support other candidates are even ashamed of mentioning who they support. Every Obi supporter is proud to share their support with friends and family.

Obi's supporters do so out of inner conviction to see Nigeria work.

First time in history that young Nigerians use their resources to campaign for someone they had never met.

That's who should be the president of Nigeria....that's Peter Gregory Obi

Afamed:
Atiku had more than billionaire endorsement prior to the 2019. The rest is history as we speak.
The Pandora thief has no electoral value beyond Agulu

The way you are pained about Igbo matter, I won't be surprised if you are diagnosed of heart failure

Bragalane:
A question befitting of your dead brain Igbo father. You should cycle back when he affirms the stupidity he inherited from his wretch of a father before passing it done to you miserable soul.

This guy and FFK are on the same lane...I don't ever take them serious on any matter

You were never a supporter so shut that hell- hole. The best decision ever is Peter Obi leaving PDP. You can't change a leopard's mark by barely bathing it with jik. PDP is groomed in corruption so it doesn't represent a Peter that we want for the post of presidency.

We know how people like you reason so go figure out who you supported, but definitely not Peter.

hollandis:
Such a political neophyte. He scammed lots of Nigerian intellectuals by advertising his presidential intentions

No matter the excuse he gave or gives , he is not to be trusted again .

We want men of timber and calibre to contest or to win not some lily livered individual

It's an insult to compare a bullion van Lord to Peter Obi.
