Bentacur007:
They are getting wiser day by day
People go wise well well for this coming election

If Nigerians truly start rejecting rice from Tinubu and APC then it’s game over for them because they have nothing much else left to offer apart from buying votes.

How I wish we can do something to educate vast Nigerians against vote buying.

Forget Cho Cho Cho …

You constantly issued statements against Jonathan; asking him to resign.

You protested against Buhari.

Why have you suddenly gone mute now?

Whitlow hold you for mouth?

Now that people have gotten wise and started rejecting APC rice, what will they share now?

Families of pupils and teachers abducted by bandits in Oyo State have rejected rice and cash brought by government officials, insisting that their priority was the safe return of their loved ones, a community leader has revealed.

The Baale of Yawota, Emmanuel Alade, recounted the community’s reaction during an interview with News Central on Monday while describing the events surrounding the abduction that occurred in the Orire Local Government Area of the state.

According to Alade, government representatives who visited the affected communities to sympathise with residents were turned away when they offered relief materials and money.

“When the government officials came, they came with rice and money, but the parents rejected it,” he said.

“The women who are government officials on Governor Seyi Makinde’s team came to console us. They brought rice and money, but the parents said they did not want it. They said what they wanted was for their children to be released.”

Alade also recounted how the attack unfolded, saying he saw unfamiliar individuals pass through the area shortly before gunshots rang out across the community.

“On the day the incident happened, I was sitting here when I saw them pass by, but I did not know them. Not long after, we started hearing gunshots. People said bandits had entered the community and everyone ran away,” he said.

“The person who went to meet them was killed, and that was how the students were taken away. Little children were abducted while the gunmen kept shooting.”

He added that community members later reported the incident to the police, who subsequently visited the area.

The revelation comes amid a series of high-profile visits by state and federal government officials to the affected communities as efforts continue to secure the release of the abductees.

Governor Seyi Makinde had on Saturday met with families of the kidnapped pupils and staff members at Ahoro-Esiele community, assuring them that security agencies were working tirelessly to rescue the victims.

The governor said his administration had intensified security meetings and operations since the incident occurred and vowed that all abductees would be brought home safely.

The following day, a federal government delegation led by the chief of staff to the president, Femi Gbajabiamila, visited Esiele and Yawota communities on the directive of President Bola Tinubu.

The delegation, which included National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu, Inspector-General of Police Olatunji Disu and Chief of Defence Staff General Christopher Musa, assured residents that every available resource was being deployed to secure the release of the victims.

The mass abduction, which occurred more than two weeks ago, has heightened fears among residents and renewed concerns over security in communities located along Oyo State’s border areas.

Btw, if not that you are trying to be as usual mischievous, the said thread that claimed Obi/Kwankwanso's ticket was burnt, you ignored it but referencing to another thread entirely

Here is the thread you chose not to see below

https://www.nairaland.com/8682616/kano-residents-burn-peter-obi

What’s the difference between the two?

Fekumzi123:
This small thing dey pain you.
Don't allow it to pain you oooo.
Any poster can be burnt anywhere just like we have party members anywhere.
Burning Obi poster in Kano shouldn't be much of a surprise nah, their number one citizen is APC for crying out loud. Ha

I wouldn’t have had issues if it was genuine.

My grouse is that this is concocted by by people who can’t even show their faces

https://www.nairaland.com/8682471/kano-youths-harass-kwankwasiyya-over

I saw this earlier thread of supposed Kano residents burning Obi/Kwankwaso posters in Kano. But a look at the video only shows a single poster being burnt with camera focused only on the ground. No faces nor surroundings were shown.

And thence is my question: how did the poster verify that that burning happened in Kano?

And if indeed it happened in Kano, how are we sure it’s not some hirelings that were given stipends to burn a poster and record the video for propaganda?

So, if I stay in one street in Ketu, Lagos, and burn the poster of Tinubu and Shettima and post it online and claim people are burning Tinubu posters in Enugu, without even having the confidence to even show my face, Nairaland management will accept it as authentic and push it to front page without verification?

I genuinely appreciate his support for Obi last election cycle but how many votes did he influence the last time?

Minus Babachir Lawal plus Binani is a big addition for Obi in Adamawa.

So, next…

He called Atiku an ethnic irredentist, a religious bigot and a Fulani hegemonist.

Stated that he would prefer Tinubu continues, however painful, than Atiku replacing Tinubu.

When some of us say Atiku is not an option, you think we are being emotional.

Rather Tinubu than Atiku.

But Obi will win again in 2027.

I was thinking helinues and his fellow data boys would have sponsored a governorship candidate against Otti since they keep claiming he’s not doing anything.

Even Benjamin Kalu realized that not even rigging nor the courts can help him and he abandoned his foolery.

God bless Otti!

God bless Nnenna Oti!

God bless Abia State, a people He finally remembered and liberated in 2023.

Ekwo - now suspended

They have about 9 Judges there but any political case(s) that the man has an interest, goes to the three.

These ones na it's gone! Higher Courts will quash the case in favour of Mark.
It's a bad case for Nafiu ab initio. The fact he was in the NEC meeting and signed in attendance says it all, just forget the trial Court and look up to the higher Courts.

I believe all those who blamed Obi for defecting to NDC can now understand it.

First, Atiku would still have won the ADC ticket.

Second, if by any chance Obi had won it, so this is what he would be dealing with instead of focusing on campaigns.

By the time the matter gets to Appeal and Supreme Courts, Atiku’s camp must have been disoriented by confusion.

Obi is the real master strategist.

fergie001:
Assigned to Peter Lifu?

ADC must make sure Lifu doesn't handle that suit otherwise it's gone!

Ahhh! I used to think Justice Lifu is one of the good few.

Ordinarily, I would want the case to go against David Mark camp because that would eliminate Atiku and throw the North open for Obi and Tinubu, but I’m not gonna support injustice because it will favour me.

Goodluck to Atiku!

ADC died the day Peter Obi left.

All these things they are doing now is them just putting up appearance.

Atiku can’t even find a running mate 🤓

The truth is that you can’t have somebody as formidable as Kwankwaso and you will render him as useless as Shettima currently is in Tinubu government.

So, the north knows they will be getting a better deal with Kwankwaso as Vice President than the disaster they currently have in Shettima and his Balablu.

MrSly:
Obi has been defeating Tinubu since 2023.

When Obi is sworn in in 2027, one of the first things he should do is to audit the INEC database and release the real result of the 2023 election.

The world must see the robbery Mahmoud and Tinubu engaged in.

He has finally gone to kiss the ring.

Tareq1105:
No one can defeat Obi on social media. They have data boys everywhere with a well coordinated platforms. However, this election will not be won on social media. Most of us Tinubu APC do ignore you guys on social media but we have our say too and we shall speak loudly at the appropriate time.

Yeah! The way you spoke in 2023 that INEC switched off the IREV to conjure numbers for Tinubu?

You lots called us 4 people tweeting in a room until you were shocked.

Continue!

naptu2:
That's the source of one of the current controversies. The NDC asked aspirants to pay millions as development fees. Those that could pay became candidates and those that couldn't remained aspirants.

Some people are complaining, but it's not easy to fund and run a political party.

This is mere marketplace gossip.

No aspirant has come out to admit the party charged them any such fee.

Why do you people still carry own with the tale?

NDC’s New Election Strategy Sparks Debate as Pat Utomi Announces Independent Result Transmission Plan:

Prof. Pat Utomi says the NDC is preparing its own independent election result transmission system ahead of the 2027 elections.

According to him, election results from polling units across Nigeria will be transmitted live and monitored globally through major international media platforms, including CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera, Fox News, and credible Nigerian news outlets.

Utomi also revealed that the party plans to deploy a strong network of polling unit agents nationwide to ensure votes are protected and election officials are not subjected to intimidation.

Obidients no longer see Kwankwaso as a terrorist any longer because he is now in their camp. it is now glaring that they only see the devil in whoever does not fabour their "Messiah".

Sing another song…

Shebi you lots were swearing that “Kwankwaso will never deputize Obi.”?

How market now?

This is just the beginning.

Meanwhile, INEC is supposedly independent.

How did a private citizen obtain information from their database.

Tinubu is a cankerworm that must go.

Nigeria must be saved.

ublight:
hmmmm.

In a sane clime, obi, atiku, tinubu, Jonathan etc will be in prison

Obi will be in prison for what?

Watch moment Peter Obi announced the former governor of Kano State, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, as his presidential running mate for the 2027 general elections on the NDC platform after he (Peter Obi) was affirmed as the Presidential Candidate.

In 2023, they mocked Peter Obi for not having structure.

In 2027, structure go choke.

Tinubu will be smoked out of Aso Rock.

dequir:
Keep on mocking us in our present predicament, we have the thick skin to absorb it. Bring all the foulest imprecations to shame us because our son's head was cut off in the bush by the demons from the pit of gehenna, it is your time to shine, shine on.

But my question is when did our voting rights become the determinant of terrorism in Nigeria, which has been plaguing the nation since 2011?

And going further, what gave you and Peter the assurance that when we support your townsman in politics to rule over us, the terrorism will suddenly disappear?

Therefore, continue to mock us, this one will also pass. And when we cross to the other side, we know who to trust, and who to be decisively pushed out of our optic.

Did my townsman promise to end the terrorism or not?

CorperKola:
It is a mockery plain and simple
Nobody blamed the chibok girls for their own kidnapping or Jonathan being president at the time
You can hold government accountable or bring attention to govwrnment failings in a decent and humane way

How did that post blame the victim?

ekitimanalways:
Security is government’s primary duty—no argument there. But using kidnapping victims’ photos to say 'see what your vote caused' isn’t accountability; it’s political ammunition. The same logic would’ve called BBOG a 'mockery' of Chibok girls. You can demand better without weaponizing tragedy.

What people like you don’t get is that not every Yoruba person is a fan of Tinubu or happy with the way he's running Nigeria. You said, and I quote: "We had a different candidate who really focused on how he was going to end insecurity and make sure every part of Nigeria is accounted for, but you dismissed him and went for someone who didn’t even say what he’d do differently from the Buhari administration when it comes to insecurity." So my question is—who exactly was that different candidate?

If you don’t know the answer to your question then I can’t help you.

Because you are either completely ignorant or deliberately being dishonest to yourself.

stuffs2002:
Yet you still wondered why Nigerians will never ever allow your people near power.

Why should Psquare mock the victims of kidnappings and beheading when it could have happened irrespective of who is leading Nigeria.

Even if their choice of vote does not align with yours does that mean they should be mocked. Does that mean Psquare shouldn't even have an atom of human sympathy for humanity just because of politics?

You have no proof it would have happened if Peter Obi was president for instance.

No proof at all!

They hate to take responsibility and accountability for their actions and choices.

It’s what Martin Heidegger called ‘Bad Faith’.

When people make bad decisions and are not willing to accept the consequences therefrom.

helinues:
I said it that you guys don't know how to correct each others when glaringly wrong which is shameful.

Must you people always defend something indefensible?

You in particular continue to be insensitive about some issue just because of politics

Nobody tells our people the truth more than us.

That’s why when Obi Cubana and Cubana Chief Priest started misbehaving, we bullied them to submission.

But I asked a simple question which I’m sure you didn’t see because you didn’t read.

How is that post a mockery?

Is what is happening in Oyo not a consequence of the choices you made at the poll in 2023? Is it not?

One thing I have noticed about Tinubu supporters, especially most of those of his ethnic stock, is the fact that they would rather look for silly things to diffuse attention to rather than say the truth and hold government accountable.

Since the Oyo kidnapping happened, not once, I mean, not once has this people called out the government for its failures. For heaven’s sake, even in our constitution it is stated there that the primary responsibility of government is security. It is when people are secure that you will build infrastructure for them. It is a secure people that will stay alive to enjoy the benefits of a repositioned economy; since that’s the only thing Tinubu supporters have accepted he achieved.

However, rather than hold Tinubu accountable for failing on this basic task of ensuring security for his own kit and kin, his supporters are rather looking for who posted what, and who retweeted what?

And I ask… the posts you are vituperating about, are they wrong? Or you simply hate hearing the truth?

Now, to the post you people are saying it’s mockery of Oyo kidnap victims, how is it mockery because I can’t see it?

Peter Okoye simply made a post recognizing people’s right to choose their preferred candidate to vote but stated however, that everyone will be held accountable for their choices and that choices have consequences.

Now, someone responded in agreement to him and attached the pictures of the Oyo Kidnap victims plus other victims of mass slaughter by bandits as a direct consequence of the choices some people made in 2023.

Now, I ask, where is the mockery?

Is Peter Okoye wrong to state that choices have consequences?

Or the respondent who attached pictures of victims of banditry wrong to attach those photos as a direct consequence of the choices some of you made in 2023? Is it not?

We had different candidate who dwelt heavily on how he was going to end insecurity and ensure that every inch of Nigeria is accounted for but you dismissed him and went for someone who didn’t even say anything about what he would differently from the Buhari administration regarding insecurity.

Now, people are telling you that everything that has happened in this country since Tinubu was sworn in 2023 and the things happening now, are all direct consequences of the choice you made in 2023 and you dare call it mockery?

Is it mockery or you’re just too dishonest to accept the truth and make amends?

And what I find most heart wrenching is that Obembet who made that post is supposedly a MOD on this platform which is pathetic.

I will conclude with this…. In 2014, prior to the 2015 general elections, over 200 children were kidnapped in Chibok, Borno State. Tinubu, Buhari and all their lackeys championed the “Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG)” campaign against the Jonathan government until it became a global phenomenon drawing the attention of Michelle Obama and other American celebrities.

Was that act mockery of the Chibok girls or genuine outrage and desire for a change of administration to someone who could do better?
