True. A better Nigeria is all we want. Peter Obi will make a great president, plus zoning issue will be laid to rest. Atiku too will make a great president. His region, NE, too will finally produce a president. A win-win for me.

Wait, are you a northerner?

garfield1:
This is the first ever defection from Niger state from an expired politician and you call it wave? Can you compare it to the defection apc faced in 2019?

Defection or no defection, you know APC cannot win Niger State in 2023.

Trinitycian:
I am OK with either Atiku or Obi. Both can change Nigeria for good.

I think we finally have a point of agreement.

It is anyone but Tinubu for me too.

Nigeria will never recover from Tinubu if he dares win in 2023.

One of the issues with Tinubu supporters is their inability to be factual, practical and empirical in analyzing the chance(s) of the the APC presidential candidate.

If you ask an Atiku supporter how Atiku would win the presidency, he would tell you that Atiku is sure of victory in Northeast, except Borno and Yobe, Northwest, except Kano because of Kwankwaso, and Southsouth because of Okowa and PDP structure (even though we know this is a pipe dream).

Ask an Obi supporter and he would tell you that Obi has Southeast and Southsouth on lockdown. Now, with Buhari administration having supervised the greatest massacre of people of Middle Belt in history, those people do not want to hear Muslim or Fulani again which leaves them with only the option of voting Peter Obi. A scenario that will clearly give Obi Victory in North Central and other Bible Belt region like Taraba, Southern Kaduna, Southern Gombe, Southern Kebbi, Southern Borno and even Adamawa. I can tell you authoritatively, that it is an incontrovertible fact that these people would even pay to vote for Obi if it comes to that. For them, it is a “life and death” something.

But ask a Tinubu supporter to empirically and logically demonstrate how Tinubu would win the presidency and you will start to hear statements like, “Tinubu is the next president whether you like it or not” and other illogical gibberish.

But I want to remind them of a reality that they like to avoid.

Buhari was able to become president in 2015 because he won almost the entire North plus the Southwest region. While the Southeast and Southsouth and some part of North Central stuck with Jonathan.

Now, for Tinubu to win the presidency, he must have to win the north in addition to his native Southwest region. If not all of the north, at least 2 northern regions plus southwest.

The question therefore is, can Tinubu win the Northeast ahead of Atiku?

Again, can Tinubu win the Northwest ahead of Atiku and Kwankwaso? Especially with some APC governors in Northwest starting to show some kind of cold feet towards Tinubu’s campaign.

Or can Tinubu win the North Central ahead of Atiku and Peter Obi?

Of course Tinubu’s chances in Southeast and Southsouth is too obvious to be talked about.

Any candidate who will win the presidency next year must win at least 3 regions in addition to getting 25% of votes cast in some other states, which other region can Tinubu realistically win asides Southwest?

Penguin is a bird of reason.

Trinitycian:
Tinubu is out of this race, bro. It's Atiku vs Obi.

Lol!

Even Atiku supporter agrees.

But do you also agree that Obi has an edge over Atiku?

Whether na lie o or na true o, we all know that APC governors seem to have abandoned Tinubu to his fate.

But his BATstards keep living in fool’s paradise

I think like Buhari wave swept across Northern Nigeria in 2015, so is Atiku wave sweeping the north this time around.

I keep reminding Tinubu BATstards that for Tinubu to stand a chanc, he needs to win the North in addition to Southwest…

Can Tinubu win the north like this?

general111:
;Din my opinion, buhari should only campaign for him in the north, if he tries it in the south eh.

Hahahaha

Imagine Buhari coming to campaign for Tinubu in Anambra or anywhere in Southeast and even Southsouth…

Na minus 100k votes for every word that Buhari utters in support of Tinubu

Tinubu supporters have been going hysterical because they heard Buhari say he’d lead Tinubu’s campaign from the front.

But I just wanna remind them that during electioneering campaigns in 2015, Buhari promised to lead the war against Boko Haram from the front of elected.

Buhari ended up getting elected but terrorism festered on, and even metastasized, with Buhari nowhere to be found.

So, the joke is on you to believe Buhari will lead Tinubu Campaign.

Na all this nonsense pension wey Peter Obi go stop when he comes to power.

But because it’s a tricky one, he might just slash it into 4 and leave them with one while they remaining 3 will be channeled to something productive.

Thinkam:
Ibb boys long well well


Atiku is coming

IBB… that evil genius.

You think this is one of his boys?

Cherubim and Seraphim…

No surprise

More like Terrible and Sorrowful

Tinubu will lose even if the Pope accepts to be in his campaign council.

Nedfed:
The useless SAN using lies to defend lies.
But that Channel presenter is so smart in asking question.

I think I now prefer him to Seun.

He follows up responses with questions.

Seun lets people escape with a lot of lies and incorrect facts.

Kayode is good.

The Nigerian Liquified Natural Gas Company, NLNG, has refuted news going rounds that it has closed operations after it declared Force Majeure due to flooding.

Recall that rumour had started flying round that there would soon be scarcity of cooking gas due to their closing down which has driven people into panic buying.

I can confirm that today at my place of work, our kitchen department was instructed to go refill their unfinished gas cylinders just so we don’t get cut up in the scarcity.

We are still in operation!

Our attention has been brought to media reports, following the issuance of a statement declaring Force Majeure on Monday 17th October 2022, that operations at its facilities have been shut down due to flood.

To correct some misinformation on the declaration, we would like to clarify:

1. The Company’s plant is in operation though at a limited capacity, due to reduced gas supply from some of its upstream gas suppliers.

2. None of NLNG’s assets on Bonny Island or in any of its host communities are impacted by the flood. The Force Majeure is as a consequence of a similar notice by Upstream Gas Suppliers due to the impact of flood in their production facilities.

3. NLNG is working with all critical stakeholders on mitigating the impact on product deliveries.

4. NLNG continues to supply LPG to the domestic market for now from the limited production.

We continue to monitor the situation with Upstream Gas Suppliers and are evaluating the impact of the flood on its business.

Lol

Where is Osinbajo?

OsunOriginal:
Man face the truth...
- APC promised infrastructure and delivered. If the PDP in 16 years did half of what the APC did in 8 years, we won't be where we are today.

- APC promised improved power supply and they are delivering on that promise too. Power supply is better across many locations in Nigeria compared to the time of the PDP - 16 years and more darkness

- APC promised security and they are delivering on it.

- APC promised to improve the value of naira and they failed in that area - many countries of the world is failing in this area. Ghana currency lost 40% of its value this year alone. And a consuming nation where importation, championed by the likes Obi is the standard thing, the naira can't improve.

APC failed woefully in all the things they promised.

Incase you’ve forgotten, APC campaigned on 3 cardinal point… Security, Economy and Corruption.

Would you say that security is better today than when Buhari was sworn in?

Can you say that the economy is better today than when Buhari was sworn in?

Can you say corruption has been reduced to below what it was when Buhari was sworn in?

Must we continue to make excuses for Buhari’s failure with global economic issues?

babyfaceafrica:
Obi won't win a single state in the North. Leave story

Who will win Plateau, Benue and Taraba?

OsunOriginal:
Seeing the manifesto of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, I was blown away by both the content and the quality of work that went into the preparation of the document. It shows seriousness and will definitely raise the bar of electioneering in Nigeria. Other contenders will now have to up their games or crash out of the race.

Thank you Tinubu for a well-prepared manifesto. It shows how seriously you take the business of governance.

What I think of Tinubu’s manifesto is that na mumu go believe Tinubu and his manifesto after all the lies they told in 2015 and later denied.

garfield1:
Obi needs to leave the south and focus on taraba,Adamawa,gombe,southern kebbi.this election will be as tight as 2019 IMO election

Garfield1, let’s be practical like we always are…

You know Peter Obi will sweep the Southeast and Southsouth, right?

And you know that Obi is strong in Southwest, right?

Now, with what Fulani herdsmen did in the North Central with Muslim community seeming to be complicit, you know that states like Benue, Plateau, Nasarawa and Abuja do not want to have anything to do with a Muslim again not to talk of a Fulani? This clearly gives Peter Obi an edge in North Central.

Then there is Taraba in Northeast.

Adamawa Christians are another set of people that will also shock us.

Then there’s Southern Kaduna, Southern Gombe, Southern Kebbi, Southern Bauchi, etc.

These are empirical factors that puts Obi ahead in the upcoming election.

Tinubu is only sure of Southwest.

While Atiku is only sure of 4 States in Northeast and maybe 6 states in Northwest.

With Kwankwaso running away with Kano if he doesn’t withdraw from the race.

garfield1:
On what ground is crs pdp? If apc can win bayelsa,then what is crs? Does it mean atiku will win ebony and se? Not everybody there hate apc.many are warming up to apc,some to labour which is weakening pdp.I thought we agreed that elections is now about candidates not parties or haven't you noticed that anytime apc field a popular candidate in these regions,they win or come close?

Yea. Election is now about candidates, not parties.

Like I’ve told you before, I’m supporting the APC guber candidate in my state.

While we are all Obidient in the presidential election.

garfield1:
Somehow...more importantly,he is grounded

The truth is that you sef know that Cross River is PDP.

The people of Southeast and Southsouth have this undeniable hatred for APC.

garfield1:
Bad news for apc candidate chief mature

Oh really?

The PDP guy is popular?

You must be in sifia pain.

The heat from Labour Party don too much for una. Too muchn’t it ?

Naija02:
Bar. Attah Ochinke has reclaimed his mandate for the House of Reps Ticket under the PDP in Appeal Court judgment seating in Calabar moments ago.

The Appeal court upholded Bar. Attah Ochinke’s previous win as Candidate of the People’s Democratic Party for Ikom/Boki Federal Constituency.

abbeyfel:
I don't think its a bad idea if you teach or show us how to stop flooding! First. Do you know flooding is a global phenomenon? Oua think about that...

Yes, flooding is a global phenomenon but when you look closely, you’d find out that there are things those governments have done to prevent subsequent occurrence.

Have you not read that Cameroun had an agreement with Nigeria that Nigeria would build a dam which would always serve as buffer whenever Cameroun releases water from Lagdo dam but Nigeria has failed to build the dam since about 1980?

seunmsg:
Who are the owners of SCIL?

Same question I wanna ask…

Shey na ghosts get SCIL?

Why was no mention made of its CEO or Chairman or even representative?

Emefiele is just there doing aboki bidding.

Very foolish man.

DisLifeSha:
But ecological funds is always paid by the federal government to the state governments to help them in cases like this. Na waiten dem use the money do

Why not think of how to ensure that flooding doesn’t occur ever again, rather than allowing flood to occur so we can pay ecological funds?

Windscribe:
Peter Obi going into next year general election is like TOGO being drawn in a world cup group with BRAZIL, GERMANY and FRANCE, while there is a saying that "this is football, anything can happen" but you and I know that TOGO would get beaten like a Cherokee drum.

Obi is a big underdog, I don't know why some of his supporters are overconfident of winning the election, some even go as far as saying Obi is going to win Kaduna state(are they for real?)


I think Obi contesting is a big plus for Tinubu's ambition, going by how APC still stands strong like never before, while the opposition has divided into 4 factions.

As an underdog, play the underdog game so has to gain more and more public sympathy, but the case Obi's supporters are different, lots of people who would have join the movement have change their mind.

WATFORD FC STRUCTURE WITH MANCHESTER CITY CONFIDENCE

In 2015, as the English Premier League was about to begin, bookmakers who believe in structure like you, projected either Man City, Man United, Liverpool, Chelsea or even Arsenal to win the league. Their reason? Those clubs have structure and have won the league before.

But somewhere, was a certain Leicester City who just got promoted to the league 2 years before then. They’ve never made top 4 before then. Not even top 10. Nobody gave them a chance. People wrote them off.

But guess what, they won.

Without structure and big money, they won.

You know what gave them victory? Young determined squad that were out to make a statement.

You see? Even with your football analysis you still goofed. And like Leicester, Labour Party will win the 2023 elections.

Thank you!

Obi has human feelings abeg.

See responsiveness na.

We have a sitting government o, they have not deemed it fit to issue even a statement.

We have a whole Ministry for Disaster Management and Humanitarian Affairs. They too have not raised even a strand of hair on their head.

But here is Peter Obi, the man they like to hate, doing what they and their candidate cannot do, and you are telling me it’s eye service.

Thunder fire you.

All I can say is that they messed with the wrong generation

Morphinne:
No I didn’t. Can you explain to me please ?
I want to know what makes Obi stand out

Obi was governor, so he has executive experience.

Till today, nobody has accused him of corruption.

We know his real age.

We know where he’s from.

We know his real name.

We know the school he went to.

We know his source of wealth.

He was Chairman of a Bank and therefore has expert knowledge of the Financial Sector and Economy.

He has chains of businesses which makes him an entrepreneur and a wealth creator which is what Nigeria needs right now.

Then lastly, he’s frugal which will see him reduce cost of governance and wastages in government.

I almost forgot that before he became governor of Anambra, the state was 26th in External examination performance but by the time he left office, Anambra was number one. That’s a testament of his value for education which is one area that Nigeria is in dire need of drastic measures to revitalize.

Till today, he has no cronies or relatives he put in power and are feeding fat nor does he have agberos that are doing dirty jobs for him.

Morphinne:
watch how he did it and nobody is calling him an ethnic bigot. Also, nobody is also saying he has collected bribe from Hin tu lie. This is how things should be since we’re in a democracy. Nobody is stopping anybody from contesting; let everyone go out there and test his popularity come 2023. See you at the polls

Did you listen to his reasons for supporting Obi?
