Sule Lamido, the only ideological politician in PDP.

In the absence of Datti on the Obi presidential ticket, Sule Lamido and Hassan Dakwambo are the other northerners that I don’t mind Obi aligning with.

And he went on to question, “where are those who protested when fuel was 120 Naira, fuel is 900 Naira today why are they not protesting?”

Again, “where are those who protested when dollar was 180, today dollar 1,500 and they are not protesting?”

“Are they all dead?”

The same Abure that u obididiots praised to high heaven, denigrating Apapa and calling him babalawo?
The same Abure is now your enemy
And the same INEC you destroyed with ur mouth is the same INEC u are praising for bouncing Abure out
Obi and mumu followers

Because he went rogue.

Judas was part of Jesus’ 12 Cardinals. But what happened to him when he went rogue?

How many times will Uduaghan join APC?

This modafucka joined APC under Buhari na.

All this just shows APC is scared to their pants.

That’s why they have resorted to lies.

Our authentic chairperson.

Abure na Chairman for Labour Party Ndi Agbado.

I heard Abure went to INEC to get the pin to upload candidate for Anambra guber election and he was bounced out of INEC office.

Arabambi tried and failed!

Apapa tried and failed!

Abure is merely engaging in the last kick of a dying horse.

Abure camp giving their Ronu hailers something to cheer about.

Is it the National Working Committee of a party that announces the suspension of a member or the ward executives?

They are here engaging in a jamboree to entertain their fellow never-do-wells.

ALTERNATEID:
The likes of GRV and Peter Obi are not thr best among us. Btw, who we choose to lead us is none of your business. Folks whose political system throws up characters like Peter Obi, Theodore Orji, Ikpeazu, Orji Kalu, Ohakim, Okorocha, etc are not in a position to advise us on who is worse or good to lead us. Take your advise to your under developed region where your folks run away from daily to escape poverty.

Where is Ikpeazu today?

Where is Rochas today?

Where is Theodore Orji today?

Where is Ikedi Ohakim today?

We have all retired them. And we are their greatest critics.

But can you say the same of the buffoons in your region?

Tell me one bad Yoruba leader that you people hate and criticize the way we criticize our own except when they don’t align with Tinubu’s criminal dynasty?

7lives:
This is my state of mind at the moment, my worst is still a thousand times better than your best.
Olorun o ni je ki nta motor ra Keke.
Try your luck elsewhere.

Tinubu is the best that can come from Yoruba land?

And Dapo Dagboru is better than Alex Otti and Peter Mbah, Abi?

ALTERNATEID:
For proper context, Femi Ojudu, the new darling of the Obidient movement served as a Senator for 4 years and was roundly rejected by Ekiti people when he sought reelection. He then served as Special Advisor to President Buhari on Political Affairs (Office of the Vice President) for 8 years. He joined some of the charlatans in the now ignoble Cabal of the Buhari administration to work against Tinubu in the process leading to the APC presidential primary election of 2022.


All through his 12 years in power, he never wrote any article about Yoruba ronu or whatever. Now that he has lost out completely in the power game, he’s now writing rubbish to pander to the losing side so as to stay relevant. Funny enough, Rufai Oseni who shared this nonsense was one of the most vocal critic of Femi Ojudu when he was in the Buhari government.

Anyway, let’s make it clear to Ipobs and obidients like Penguin2 that Yoruba conservatism has come to stay. The era of Yoruba liberalism is over. Yorubas will only do what is in Yoruba interest and nothing else. Idiots among us like Rufai, GRV, Femi Ojudu etc will never be allowed to amount to anything politically on our soil. It is Yoruba first and nothing else going forward.

And Yoruba conservatism said you must choose the worst of you to lead the best of you?

Yoruba Ronu !

By Babafemi Ojudu

I have pondered on this for a long time, and I must now give voice to it—before we are once again used and discarded, before we are called out, not to think, but to chant.

In less than two years, another round of elections will arrive. And, like clockwork, those who sit in power—feeling threatened—will summon a familiar refrain: “Yoruba Ronu!” Think, Yoruba, think! But is it really about thinking? Or is it just another ploy to manipulate and distract? If we were truly thinking, would our present condition not demand revolt rather than re-election?

Young and not-so-young Yoruba “activists” will be assembled like foot soldiers. Suddenly remembered by politicians who have ignored them for years, they’ll be equipped with smartphones, mobile data, and just enough pocket money to leave something behind for their families. In hastily arranged bootcamps, they will be briefed—not to build, not to brainstorm, but to insult opponents, smear fellow Nigerians, and threaten war in the name of ethnicity.

Our sacred deities—Oro, Alagemo, Aiyelala, Osugbo, Ifa, Ogun—will be invoked to strike perceived enemies. But the true enemies are the very people who weaponize identity and tradition to cover up incompetence, corruption, and betrayal. The ones who send these youths on errands of hate, while their own children are far away, safe, and prospering.

These so-called activists live among us. They face the same poverty, frustration, insecurity, and decay that the rest of us endure. The powerful men who parade themselves as the custodians of Oduduwa’s legacy do not care for them. They have no plans for them. The manifestos—when they exist—barely acknowledge them. They are mere tools, paid sloganeers, useful only during elections and discarded afterward.

And when more thoughtful Yoruba voices try to warn them, they respond with insults. These cautioning voices are labelled traitors—Judas—while the real betrayers walk free, adorned in agbada, smiling for the cameras. For a bowl of rice, a cheap phone, and a few thousand naira, they sell their future, their heritage, and the legacy of our noble progenitors.

They do not ask why the major contracts across Yorubaland are awarded to Lebanese and Chinese firms. They don’t question why the looted funds are deposited with banks whose executives cannot say kaaro ojiire. Or why the women hiding the stolen assets in their names are rarely of Ijebu, Egba, Akoko, Oyo, or Ekiti origin. These facts do not prick their conscience. I can give you a list of our serving or past governors who were in serious grief when not too long ago a top banker died in helicopter crash. He was not Yoruba but of an ethnic group you were taught to abuse.

When the “noisy elders” of various Yoruba groups become inconvenient, they are pacified with late-night invitations to government houses. There, they are wined and dined—only for one night. After lavish meals and lofty toasts to Yoruba greatness, they are sent home with N200,000 for transport and perhaps a N10 million contract. That’s all it takes. They go home satisfied, enough to feed their households for a few weeks.

Meanwhile, our public schools are ruins, our hospitals are lifeless, our roads are death traps. Our youth, without hope or guidance, have embraced Yahoo-Yahoo and Olosho as survival strategies.

What they don’t know is that, just minutes after they left the governor’s residence, a Chinese contractor in his 30s signed a N10 billion deal. The champagne they shared sells for N1 million per bottle. The contractor, barely literate in English—let alone Yoruba—flies back to import equipment and Chinese prisoners to execute the job. And these men, not our own engineers, accountants, andtechnicians, are the ones who get paid.
Our own graduates roam the streets with their CVs. Those lucky enough to hustle money from relatives become okada riders. It is from this pool of desperation that the next cycle of political thugs will be recruited

“But if he insists that he wants to run and wants to become the president, as we are already seeing it playing out, his political ending may not be as palatable as he is thinking because right now, from his political family, he has lost substantial people, probably sixty to seventy per cent,” Bwala added.

Bwala claims Obi has lost 60 to 70 percent of his political family. Lol!

Reminds me of Soludo’s letter in 2023 where he claimed the survey they commissioned told them Peter Obi was going to win just 5 states which had reduced to 4, by their latest survey.

By end of election, Wike had to do patch patch in Rivers to prevent Peter Obi from winning more states than Tinubu.

Now, they have come again with their warped statistics. And I’m laughing.

E go shock una again in 2027

Thiefobi1:
This post should be meant for 2031 election not 2027.

Can't u read the signs or the handwriting on the wall.

APC already won the election even before it started.

APC is winning the next election with at least 11m to 12m votes.

Save ur energy for 2031 poll.

If getting pot bellied hooligans who are only trying to protect their interest, to defect to APC is what you call handwriting on the wall, then I laugh in mkpuma akpatakpa😏

helinues:
All what you listed have been there before Apc .

Muslim Muslim ticket fear which got Obi reasonable votes is no longer there

President Tinubu not healthy, can't handle Nigeria has been dismantled

While the narration which mostly were fed about Peter Obi being a saint, did wonders as Anambra state governor while in reality, he had a terrible tenure. Those who swallowed that initial narration now know better

Inability of some Obidients to separate individual/group from a whole tribe will cost Peter Obi a lot

Sharia is now cutting people’s hands in Oyo and you think people are not seeing the side effect of the Muslim Muslim ticket?

Saying people no longer have fear of Tinubu’s health and inability to handle the economy, has he done any better? Is the economy better?

And talking about these problems having been there before APC is a big joke.

How much was a bag of rice before APC?

How much was a bag of beans before APC?

How much was a litre of fuel before APC?

How much was a pack of spaghetti before APC?

How much was a paint of Garri before APC?

helinues:


They would both receive beating

Btw, all those factors that gave Peter Obi reasonable votes outside South East are no longer there.

What factors are no longer there?

Are Nigerians no longer hungry?

Is Nigeria now free of insecurity?

Is the economy now blossoming?

Do we now have steady power supply? I can go on…

Because if anything, the factors that gave Obi ‘third’ position has quadrupled enough to now give him first position.

DMerciful:
Whether Obi or Atiku, the south will never rally behind Tinubu. There will be nothing like southern sentiment if Atiku emerged as the coalition candidate

The masses will think like that but southern powerbrokers will think otherwise. And believe me, as much as we are hoping that hunger has taught the masses enough lesson for them to want to decide their political future independent of any sentiments, you can’t rule out the influence of these stakeholders on considerable chunk of the masses.

But with Peter Obi, these southern powerbrokers will be split in two, at least, while the fate of Tinubu and Obi will then be decided by where North aligns.

Calculate!

Streetinvestor2:
SW president has never been an option even if obi is not contesting. The SE will never vote SW president. The SW president has never been seen as Southern president so stop deceiving yourself

The Southeast voted Obasanjo twice in 1999 and 2003.

Say something else.

danijesus:
That's if the election is free and fair

Free or unfree, fair or unfair….

Whatever Tinubu wants, he’s going to get in 2027.

You think those preparing for 2027 are babies?

MrPresident1:
Trump himself is the one that will select the pope

I suspect that the next Pope if not Peter Cardinal Okpalaeke, or another Blackman, will be from American

Cardinal Okpaleke is not in the running. Even though that doesn’t rule out anything. But I don’t trust Cardinal Okpaleke. I don’t know his views on things that are important to me.

I don’t know his views on gay rights.

I don’t know his views on same sex marriage.

I want a Pope who will stem the tide of these aberrations and their attempt to creep into the Church and I don’t trust Cardinal Okpaleke to do that.

I want a verified staunch and unapologetic conservative.

I’m going to try to be brief.

In the run on to the 2022 PDP National Congress, Obidients organized a nationwide march demanding PDP to adopt Peter Obi as their candidate and leave the rest of the fight for Nigerian youths, but many people in PDP weren’t convinced at all. Their reason? Obi cannot win a national election.

To the naysayers in PDP then, they insisted an Igbo man cannot win a National election for their party. They were certain Atiku will win them the election by 12 noon on Election Day.

Peter Obi saw the signs and left the PDP to Labour Party. A party that was just there. People laughed at him and those supporting him. They said Labour Party had no structure. Some swore Obi will not win a single Local Government. Others swore he won’t score up to 1million votes. But in less than 8 months, Obi was able to galvanize his supporters and went into the election and came out with 6.1million votes officially allocated to him by INEC. By that result, he was just 800k behind the Atiku they swore would win the election even with all of PDP’s structure, Governors, Senators, House of Rep Members and others. The country is still in shock till today.

Now, as the preparation for 2027 elections heats up with talks of coalition ongoing, the naysayers against Peter Obi have started their usual rhetorics. They are swearing Peter Obi is not a match for Tinubu; that only Atiku can face Tinubu and win. And I can’t help but laugh.

So I ask, who do you think will pose a tougher challenge for Tinubu in 2027? Is it Atiku or Peter Obi?

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

Keep in mind that should Atiku emerge the coalition candidate, it would truly be the battle of South vs North. No matter how hard anyone tries, that sentiment will rally the south behind Tinubu. All that will be needed will be the votes of some northern Christians, who mostly vote in same direction with the south, and Tinubu returns to power.

But with Peter Obi?

With Peter Obi as the coalition candidate, the Southeast and Southsouth will be locked down. Tinubu will be restricted to the Southwest (some Southwest votes if you like).

In the north, the northern Christians will always choose Obi over Tinubu any day and time.

And then all that will be needed will be for Atiku, Elrufai, and their men to deliver the core north and the election will be won by noon day on Election Day.

But these are just my own thoughts. What is yours?

Who do you think will pose a tougher challenge to Tinubu in 2027, and why?

fergie001:
Iwaeda, we no go stand on mandate like this?

Who and who remain again?

🤣🤣🤣

No sir! We can’t be like Val Ozigbo that couldn’t stick to his convictions only to be going around television stations crying now.

See, you know you mentioned to me once that the powerbrokers are not ready for Igbo presidency yet. But we can’t give up. We can’t wait for them to be ready. We have to sustain the push until their hands are forced.

And I’m sure you have started hearing things. Even though they are flying like rumors but, like they say, in every rumor there is an iota of truth.

Because what if it’s true that the coalition has settled for Peter Obi?

You think all these defections will stop him?

engrchykae:
do you think the US government can influence the outcome of the election of the Catholic Church

Yes. Trump through American allied countries can influence the outcome by getting the govts of those countries to put words in the ears of their Cardinal(s).

Nobody should cry here o

Because I wonder what keeps giving these fools the audacity to continue fooling themselves.

Something Iran herself has tried and failed.

Hamas tried and failed.

Hesbollah tried for decades and failed.

But the Houthis think they can achieve it.

When Israel starts dealing with them, you will see terrorists sympathetizers on this platform start to foam in the mouth.

You fools should give up already, Israel cannot be defeated.

sleek214:
Lies. Tinubu newspaper wan push Obi to contest. They're scared of Atiku.

News flash, Obi is a greater challenge to Tinubu than Atiku.

Mabuggi88:
Peter Obi did extremely very well as a Governor, forget those things those irrelevant mof*s are saying.

But I still doubt Obi will win 2027 election alone even on a free and fair. He needs to liase with a Northern bigwig

He knows better than to go into the 2027 elections alone.

If rumors are true, I heard the north has given him a condition for their support. He will do only 4 years and then hand power over back to the north.

And trust me, once the north gets onboard the Obi project, Tinubu is gone.

Nigeria is a joke

They reported it when they didn’t know he would one day contest for president and be Tinubu’s reason for sleepless nights.

UNICEF is now speaking like Peter Obi🤓

Una go hear the truth until your ears peel off.

I hope Sanwolu is logging into Twitter

And I hope Orji Uzor Kalu is setting his ring light

Ndi ala!

aswani:
Do some homework on it yourself please, post it here and I am happy to add to it or at least explain the difference.

I replied you and interchanged your use of the word “tribal” with the word “ethnic” and you retorted that I was misquoting.

Now, to buttress your claim of me misquoting you, I want you to tell us the difference between the two words.

Don’t ask me to research except you are admitting you don’t know what you are saying.

Exclusive101:
They do not have to reply him because they know his concern are geniuene unlike the hate n fake senseless concern of a foolish soul like Peter Obi.

Bigotry foolishness will not let you see tru Obi hate but we do and are more concerned about that than any foolishness you clowns are wailing about.

Tell us the instrument you used to determine that Obi’s message was driven by hate and that of Adesina driven by genuine concern.

helinues:
Another childish thread

Did Akinwunmi direct his message to SanwoOlu?

But Obi directed his message to Sanwolu?

They are now teaching Adesina statistics?

Na statistics we go chop?
