And he has removed the red cap🤣🤣🤣

Serves Kwankwaso well.

This is somebody that would have been Vice President under a Peter Obi government by now and non of his allies would dare leave him; but his anachronistic and born-to-rule mentality made him feel he was too big.

The ijiot even declared he would rather support Tinubu.

See him for ground now.

I love his tears.

I know tears when I see it.

I also know salty tears when I see it.

This one is salty tears and I can only tell him to prepare to cry more.

Former governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, is in Enugu for Obi’s defection. Could there be something brewing between the two?

Also in Enugu is the chairman of ADC, David Mark, and other dignitaries.

fergie001:
Worse still, INEC monitored the primary ooooo

They are clearly acting on instructions from above.

Unfortunately the courts may not be able to help.

PigTormentor:
It was also Tinubu fault when INEC disqualified APC candidates in about 2 states in 2020? Zamfara was one of them if my memory serves me right. Back then people like you though it was good and were happy. Now you are crying and wailing about issues that doesn't concern you and I'm sure you are clueless of.

In both cases (Rivers and Zamfara), there were court orders to that effect (up to the Supreme Court).

On what grounds is INEC excluding PDP candidate now?

fergie001:
So surprised Amupitan is toeing this path.
There is a judgement decided by the Appeal Court on 17th October in a similar case, that INEC is going this route again in the face of a judgement with four legs as in the SDP case is worrying.

And to think the guy is a SAN.

Recall that that Ekiti primaries happened before the Ibadan Convention. And the letter inviting INEC to the exercise was duly signed by both Damagum and Anyanwu who were both recognized by INEC then.

Even when the Wike group tried to change the date of that primaries, INEC called their attention to a valid letter of invitation that had previously been transmitted to the commission. You remember?

So, one now wonders on what grounds they are excluding a candidate that emerged from that exercise.

So foolish of us to have thought that a man appointed by Tinubu would be impartial.

Just like Mahmoud, this Amupitan ewedu guzzler is also doing Wike’s bidding.

Nothing really concern me with Gumi who is engaging in the last kick of a dying horse since Trump has forever ended their Jihad.

My own na how did Tinubu supporters turnaround to start supporting and defending US airstrikes that they previously called us enemies of Nigeria for supporting?

It goes to show that they don’t have a mind of their own but only eats whatever Tinubu feeds them.

Contrast that with Obidients who are the ones even setting agenda for Peter Obi most of the time. We have a mind of our own and are consistent in our line of thinking.

As for Gumi, he’s running his mouth because we don’t have a president. The day we have a president, he’d be invited to come and say what he knows.

Until then, let him continue to engage in the last kick of a dying.

Arrest his driver.

Na him wan kill AJ.

How can he ram into that trailer?

Why is it that everytime Nigeria scores the Tunisian keeper will keep face like he wants to cry 🤣🤣🤣?

Islam is a religion of piss 😏

HgAkpobomeEr:
Fubara is now the APC leader in Rivers state and will be supported for a second term.

Dem don carry Wike handicap 🤓

I wonder where Wike supporters will stand now.

Shit don hook una for throat.

My own is simple, whether APC or PDP, as far as Fubara has the “Red Pen”, I’m good.😎

There’s been a lot of talks of Obi is being indecisive, Obi is not letting his Supporters know where he stands, Obi this, Obi that.

But the question is, what do you need where Obi stands for?

If you are Obi supporter, if he tells you where stands, would you buy nomination form for him? Or what would you do with it? Shebi our own is prepare to troop out on Election Day and vote on whichever platform that has Obi on it?

If you are Obi’s traducer, what do you need where stands for? You want to create schism there also like your paymasters created in LP, PDP, and in virtually all Political Parties?

The reality is that Obi will not approach 2027 with same strategy with which he approached 2023.

In 2023, he was open with everything.

In 2027, he’d come with Silence, Surprise and Precision.

So, stop asking for Obi’s platform and just wait and be entertained.

Tinubu wants to use the Tax Law to get at his opponents. That’s why he made alterations like a thief.

But just like the Supreme Court judgment that said the president has the power to remove elected governor, these alterations will come around to haunt those supporting it today.

Una go see am.

Even the heavens is working against Tinubu and his government.

The lesser oil sold, the lesser money available to be stolen.😏

Mr Peter Obi has criticized Tinubu’s request to borrow 20trillion naira to finance the 2026 budget while the federal government is still implementing 2024 budget.

According to Mr Obi, the Federal Government has not touched the 2025 budget at all.

He equally questions the rationale behind the borrowing when government announced that they had met their revenue target as far back as in August. So, where’s the money?

Today, Nigerians woke up again to the troubling news that the Federal Government is planning to borrow about ₦20 trillion in new loans to finance the 2026 budget. This is at a time when debt servicing alone is projected to gulp nearly half of our national revenue, and when our borrowing requirement has surged by over 72%.

At a time when Nigerians are struggling under unprecedented hardship, insecurity, and unemployment, we must ask the most important and logical questions: Where is the revenue from 2025?

How can we be discussing trillions in new borrowing for 2026 when we are still implementing the 2024 budget? One is genuinely worried. This suggests, very clearly, that the 2025 budget is still untouched and unimplemented.

So, where are all the revenues that accrued in 2025, even when we were told that we had surpassed the revenue targets since August?

It is time for us to stop this fiscal rascality, especially with uncontrolled and unexplained borrowing that is not being invested in the productive sectors of our nation, but instead ends up in consumption.

We cannot keep mortgaging the future of our children through thoughtless borrowing.
We cannot continue this way.

For years, I have consistently maintained that Nigeria cannot borrow its way into prosperity. Nations do not develop by consuming more than they produce. They develop by producing, exporting, and creating value, while building strong institutions that ensure accountability and efficient use of public funds.

We cannot tell Nigerians that revenue is increasing while simultaneously increasing borrowing to ridiculous historic levels. Governance must be built on transparency, not propaganda.

We cannot build a new Nigeria on the foundation of misleading figures, rising debts, shrinking production, and continuous hardship.
Our nation must move forward.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Obi is a political heavyweight that every political wants in there fold.

Peter Obi is a great asset.

Obi is not just a heavyweight, he’s a political party on his own.

The reason nobody send ADC again is because Obi seems to have been distant from it.

If the ADC is serious then they should zone their ticket to the south.

In fact, if they are serious about winning power, they anoint Obi as their presidential candidate by consensus and stop telling Obi to come and contest their kind of primaries with them.

In 2027, it’s Peter Obi or let Tinubu continue.

We shouldn’t let the north play their stupid game on our head.

Apart from Ebonyi, and maybe Enugu, every other Southeast is among top 10 states in Nigeria.

So how come has same poverty rate with North Central?

Can we see the link to the said World Bank report because this statistics trash.

Fergie001
You told me here first

How do you know

ALMIGHTY GOD gave you political intelligence

Fergie001 is either DSS or an old hand in politics with ear in every Government House and Aso Rock.

Nothing he has ever said regarding politics or court judgment has ever been wrong.

This is what you get when you allow an unpopular drug lord to snatch and grab power and run away with it.

Every of these shithole countries are now disgracing and disrespecting us.

These are countries that used to catch cold when Nigeria sneezes.

Just yesterday, Burkina Faso declared it arrested Nigerian soldiers that landed in its territory. I swear to you that such a thing would not have been imagined by Burkina Faso under an Obasanjo, Yaradua or even Jonathan presidency.

Now, ordinary Niger is going to be subjecting our citizens to the stress of offloading their trucks at the border everytime they pass.

All these because we allowed an ijiot foist himself on us.

Congratulations to all those who made it possible. They thought they were doing Igbos.

Ndi ala!

Nothing to say but Allah Akbar🤓

My region is progressing so I have no business with them.

When we are trying to counsel them to vote the right candidates to power, they will call us expansionists.

They are getting what they deserve.

Next!

Streetinvestor2:
Even if is a tree in the position as long SW president is removed. It is ok for SE.
It is not obi birthright to be president or vice.The SE has been doing well economical than many reasons that produced those offices in the past.Anything to remove SW president is a win for SE

Would you rather power goes back to the Fulani hegemonist who will viciously finish off their agenda to Islamize the MiddleBelt and from there to the rest of Nigeria through constant killings and displacement of natives or would you rather we continue with Tinubu who despite the foul-mouthedness of his supporters seems to be rejuvenating the economy and reforming the system in a way that is even beneficial to Ndigbo?

I want us to use our head and not allow ourselves to always be played by the north with a promise of “we will hand over to you.”

Why can’t they hand over to us now? Why does it have to be after Atiku?

Hedonisco:
That would be more palatable to every SE and SS person than to vote for the disgustingly ethno-pompous character like Tinubu and his awalokan gang. God forbid.

Rather a 'neutral' northern government takes over so that Yoruba and Igbo can go back to the trenches on a level playing field, rather than this nonsense we are currently seeing, where they think they can do anyhow because their foul smelling tribal god stole his way into presidential power.

I don’t think I understand what you are rejoicing over.

If anything, he didn’t say anything to hurt me except that he mistook me for a Yoruba.

Streetinvestor2:
SW president will never see 10k vote from SE whether Obi is contesting or not
So we should vote SW president because the north is enemy to SE.What a joke.Why did u say what the SE has benefited since u had SW president.
The only thing SE has benefited
1 The bringing down of thr properties in lagos most painful land mark
2.The sentencing of Kanu which is a trophy the SW sees against the SE.
Finally SE are better with north for 2027

So, Obi should be Atiku’s running mate?

AMINDA:
Lol. Tinubu scored 8m+ votes in 2023, and 5.6m votes out of these was from the North. The North came through and repaid him for a previous support in 2015. The South didn't vote for Tinubu. It's on record that Northern governors championed his re-election against all odds. Tinubu didn't even campaign in the East. Where then is all that talk about checkmating the North coming from? Obi should step aside and support Tinubu if the goal is really to checkmate the North. Otherwise, he will only be complicating Tinubu's chances by balkanising the Southern votes, thereby making Tinubu even more reliant on Northern votes, just like in 2023. Politics is not an emotional sport, and facts are sacred. Every political cycle, every other region horsetrades, strike unemotional deals, and leave with concessions for their region, except one. They claim to be unbothered and try to make up for it with pyrrhic victories and other mundane things like claims of ethnic superiority but still cry about marginalisation. If you now claim to support Tinubu, it's because you've been conquered and have surrendered and not because you think your votes can now make him win. Tinubu himself knows it and he already proved he can win without your votes. The North is hardly ever out of power. Not now (a Northerner is V.P), not in 2027 and certainly not in 2031. Just different power blocs. In the end, ensure you're negotiating something for your region beyond emotions. Lessons.

Lol! So what you could deduce from this piece is that I now support Tinubu?

Iceberg3:
You are very correct about this... If there's one thing I like about the Tinubu,it is his taming of the north and putting them in their place,one thing GEJ couldn't and didn't do.
I have been advocating for the entire south and the good people of the middle belt to rally round Tinubu and support him...to support him if he chooses to contest 2027..

But penguin2,the problem ain't the Igbos,the problem is the ways of your fellow yorubas who have become abominable southerners.
The yorubas stake holders have one way or the other chosen to be enemies to other southerners...
I mean,why do we log on here and everyday,you see the likes of Helinues legendhero mccullum goodnewsforlife spagettiluv ttalk flokii (especially this one) hotfreeze yarimo raskymonojendor yorubanibaba hitlerwasright muchado FreeStuffsNG seunmsg adolfhitlerxxx maasoap (this one seems to have been touched that he now attacks Tinubu 😁) and lots lots more attack the Igbos,attack abia state and gov....they even the attack to that south African girl who abandoned the beauty pageant cos they saw chidinma on her name! I read when one was fooling himself to a south African lady and the SA lady told him that there ain't Nigerian embassy for Igbo or yoruba or Hausa but a Nigerian embassy for ALL NIGERIANS!
Very shameful.
The recent protest was staged by northerners who are very disgruntled with tinubu's govt and sowore and the Igbos kept themselves out of it but these same yoruba people still went ahead and tried in vain to heap the blame on the Igbos!
Seunmsg did so on here! Same with Helinues.

In the south west,Lagos for example,the Igbos are mainly into petty and other forms of trading but when you go to the fed govt agencies like the NPA,CUSTOMS,NNPC,DPR,PPPRA,PPPMC,NIMASA,...the bulk of the work force are quota system Hausa Fulanis! I know this cos I'm a seaman.
But yet,yoruba people will still not leave the Igbos alone.
The north is rattled so much right now and are seriously planning against tinubu and we in the south should be making plans too but the only plans being made is yorubas planning "Igbos must go".

It would be disastrous if for any reason,the north get their hands on power again,it will be very disastrous for us all and make no mistakes,I am not Igbo

Who told you I’m Yoruba?🤔

Threads Passes X In Key Monthly Metric For First Time In Zuckerberg Vs. Musk Battle

Threads, Meta’s text-based social media platform that launched in 2023 as a challenger to the Elon Musk-owned X, for the first time beat X in global daily active mobile users for the month of October, according to data shared with Forbes by market intelligence company Similarweb.

Key Facts
Threads beat X in the number of average daily active users on mobile devices worldwide for the month of October, according to Similarweb data, with the Meta-owned platform garnering an average of 128.2 million users per day, while Musk’s X had 124.7 million users per day.

The margin between the two platforms was tight in early October, but Threads continued to extend its lead over X throughout the month, beating X by a margin of nearly 9 million users on Oct. 30—Threads led with 137 million daily active users over X’s 128.1 million on that day.

Forbes reported in September, citing Similarweb data, Threads surpassed X in daily active mobile users worldwide for the first time during the week of Sept. 15 to Sept. 21, when Threads led with a razor-thin margin of 130.2 million daily users over X’s 130.1 million.

I don’t believe this data.

DMerciful:
APC being booted out is greater than any sentiments you might hold. Power in South currntly does not benefit Southerners as long as its an APC govt.

I still insist that power must remain in the south.

Peter Obi should not help the north return to power.

Chinkoalhaji34:
Checkmate? More like checkmated his own chances!

Peter Obi should be focusing on how to checkmate his own party crisis first before trying to checkmate the North. All this talk about helping or not helping is just noise.

The North is not the problem here; it’s his inability to hold a party together that’s the real issue. If he spent half the energy he uses in making noise on actually uniting his followers, maybe we would have seen some real progress.

Instead, what we see is a man who jumps from one party to another like a kid in a candy store, thinking he can still be taken seriously.

At this point, na him dey checkmate himself, and it's clear he’s only helping his own downfall.

Atiku has jumped to another party before Peter Obi. What do you have to say?

AMINDA:
Why do you think power should be "given" to anyone like it were a plate of food? Did you "give" power to anyone before demanding for it? No one has demanded anything from you. If the bitter truth that power is not served on a platter upsets you, then it can't be helped. You can continue to take solace in the fact that you have "my people" (very funny) as gatemen. Tinubu schemed to be Vice to Buhari in 2015. He didn't succeed but ended up nominating the VP. He's now president today in 2023. If that's tantamount to bending the knee for power, I guess he didn't mind. The end justifies the means. These things aren't taught in schools, and no one is prepared to go into the gutters with you. The bitter truth is that politically, the North does not have its eggs in one basket. Tinubu won his election with 5.6m Northern votes out of his total 8m votes. The North made him President but it was a debt repaid and Northerners always pay their debts, good or bad. ALWAYS! Now we are even.

No long talks…

You guys made Tinubu president with your 5.6million votes, right?

Now, switch that vote for Peter Obi or give it back to Tinubu to continue another 4 years.

The 2 poisons are before you, choose the one you want to drink.
