You lack comprehension skills and I can clearly see that. If not, you would know that asking for evidence has never meant you are objecting to a view.

See who is talking about hollow upper. Same clown that takes unstated assumption as hard core fact.
Pathetic!

My reference to “unstated assumption” was to tell you that you disputing my assertion that Tunde Ednut is the most influential influencer in Africa means, by assumption, that you are saying that he is not what I said he is even without you saying it. Do you understand it now? Or do I have to convert it to nursery rhymes?

And asking for evidence of Tunde Ednut’s influence means what?

You want to see the number of his followers?

Or the number of people he has made stars?

Or what exactly?

Tunde ednut is an influencer. Influencers are paid to press mumu button. He's been paid for a job and he must keep his end of the bargain which is akin to a criminal lawyer who must defend a client found guilty. Obidients are being psyched grin
And thence comes my question, why would Tunde Ednut go with the minority rather than the majority if Tinubu supporters were truly in the majority?

Social media popularity often does not imply real-life popularity. During the last elections, PDP deputy governor candidate Funke Akindele claimed to have more followers on social media — but the election results showed otherwise
Yes. You remember “there is no polling unit on social media”?

You lots said it a lot before the 2023 elections but after reality check after the results, una no dey talk am again.

When you saw polling results say Obi will win Lagos, you people said it was online polls but what happened?

Like I stated earlier, I was neither for nor against, I simply don't know what lens you had on while reading my post.

I thought you had stats so I can file it for reference but I can clearly see you had nothing but a simple unstated assumption. I can't help shaking my head in disbelief.

I guess you enjoy clowning. Your post was hinged on your belief. He's the most influential in Africa because you keep a database of all Africa influencers. You are making progress, he shall soon be the best in the world. This is really funny.

This has been a waste of my time.

Donenjoybthenrest of your day.
If there’s anyone that has been clowning here it’s definitely not me.

If I say Donald Trump is the most powerful man in the world and you say it’s not true, doesn’t the onus fall on you to say who is more powerful? When you have done that, then we can now compare the data between Trump and your guy.

That’s what I expected from you as regards Tunde but you would display the hollowness of your upper than just say a name that you think is bigger than Tunde in influencing.

I never said he's not. Stop twisting things.

I asked for proof that he's the most influentialas you claimed, you claimed you provided that. I asked you to highlight the proof and you're still going round in circles.

Some of you argue as though intelligence is a strange word. Who do una?
I said he is the most influential influencer in Africa and you are arguing with me. What does that say?

If you agreed he is, why argue?

You are arguing because you think he’s not. You don’t have to say the phrase “he’s not” before it becomes obvious what you mean.

Heard about unstated assumption before, mr easy intelligence?

Now, tell me who is bigger so we compare the stats.

Obedients are vocal on social media but inconsequential in real life.
Tunde ednut needs their engagement on social media to cash out.
Throughout the entire universe, it’s taken for granted that the loudest voices come from the majority.

That’s why the Parliament (all over the world) has a common way of deciding most of its resolutions and that is by asking members to say “aye” or “nay” depending on where they stand about a particular bill or proposition.

Usually, the presiding officer always decides by those whose voices are the loudest and proclaim either that “the ayes have it” or “the nays have it”.

But you want us believe, because you are Tinubu supporter, that in Nigeria, the most vocal are the minority while the quiet are the majority?

Politics › 2027: Is Tunde Ednut Pressing Obidients’ Mumu Button? by Penguin2(op): 9:45am On Apr 30, 2025
Yesterday, I posted about Tunde Ednut’s declaration to support Peter Obi again in 2027 if he contests and I saw some funny comments on the thread.

Some comments read, “Tunde Ednut is pressing Obidient mumu button.”

Another read, “Tunde Ednut sabi use Obidients.”

Another reductionist who thinks Obidients are only Igbos and Obi is an Igbo affair wrote, “Tunde Ednut sabi use Igbos.”

But these comments left me with some curious questions…

Are these commenters saying that they accept that Obi is more popular and has more followers than Tinubu?

Or are they saying that Tunde Ednut would rather serve the interest of the few than the interest of the majority?

Anyone who knows how influencers work know that they move with the crowd. They go where the majority is. Because the need the numbers to stay relevant. Without the people (followers) any influencer would become worthless.

So, can Tinubu supporters tell us why Tunde Ednut would rather press the mumu button of the minority rather than press the mumu button of the majority?

In Summary, Who will be the Presidential Candidate and VP?
In summary, Obi as Presidential candidate.

Atiku can nominate one his men who equally has clout, as VP. And that’s where somebody like Sule Lamido comes in.

Dakwambo won’t also be a bad choice.

I would have said Elrufai but he’s a damaged product and I doubt Obi would even accept him as running mate.

In the end, the north is spoilt of options since I doubt they will let Obi retain Datti.

One of your foolish brothers went to the court to try and stop 1993 election, another one was soo caword not to declare Abiola the winner but want Nigeria to immortalize him. What a huge joke. If you people have used sentiment to immortalize the fearfully man, you will have also called to do the same thing to the one that went to court to tried and stop the 1993 election. Yorubas will continue to be ahead of you people politically if you keep hating and be bitter towards them. Know that and know peace.
That Obasanjo was not the choice of majority of Yorubas, does that make him any less Yoruba?

It were people like you that swore Obi will not score 1million votes in 2023.

You swore he will not win a single Local Government.

Soludo swore that his data analysts were projecting Obi to win 5 states but it had reduced to 4.

At the end of the elections, what happened?

You lots have a lot of limitations in your heads.

You build a lot of imaginary impossibilities and believe it to be true even after evidences and occurrences have proven otherwise to you.

Obi will not run as Vice.
Atiku will not give it all up.

They contest individually, Tinubu wins...... God keeping us all alive, it's 2031.. this one otilo. Even if they want to team up, they have done it when the horses have left the stable.
If stakeholders can pressure Atiku to shelve his ambition (which is possible) and support Obi with his entire northern structure and allies, then Tinubu is beatable.

And my calculation is simple…. No matter where Southsouth governors stand, Obi will still win the region. Need I remind you where Southeast votes will go?

Now, even though Tinubu has mellowed the hearts of some northern Christians, I can still assert that Obi will win majority of their votes in 2027 especially when you consider that the security lots of Plateau and Benue people haven’t improved much so far.

Then, Atiku and his men, including Elrufai and co, mobilizes the core north for Obi with strong anti-Tinubu campaign from the grassroots of northern villages, you think the numbers won’t come for Obi?

These are practical analysis I’ve given you with zero emotions attached. You can tell me which is impracticable should Obi become the coalition candidate.

Obi can't win Tinubu in the North if we are to be honest. Seems you guys don't know what is going on. The APC are preparing over a trillion naira financial war chest for this election. I believe the only support Atiku can give Obi is for both of them to reach a secret pact that Atiku should be the presidential candidate and Obi vp, then after winning Atiku can step down and nominate a VP for him.

Any other thing, Tinubu will use the hunger in the land to buy his way to power.
That’s some funny reasoning you have in your head. You think Atiku will win presidency and then resign? Lol!

Meanwhile, I believe if northerners are giving matching orders by their emirs and Imams not to sell votes, it will difficult to buy them out like you think.

Peter Obi will not be Atiku’s running mate in 2027.

How many governors did Obi have when he won 11 states and the FCT in 2023?

These things are just false narratives that they plant into our heads to make us think the governors are almighty.

But 2023 showed that the people are the structure. Forget where the governor is standing, if the people collectively resolve where they want to go, there’s little to nothing a governor can do.
Everyone knows Rivers result was rigged.

Amaechi's lack of emotional intelligence made him to align with strange bed fellows. He wasted Rivers State resources to make PMB President but attracted no investment to Rivers State. He's deceived to be the anointed APC Presidential candidate and was embarrassed during the primaries.
If he's truthful to himself, the least he should do is to apologize to his people for wasting their resources and causing unnecessary conflict. He towed the wrong path and has lost political relevance. He should quietly enjoy the fortune he's acquired from politics.
Exactly! If he had any iota of shame, he shouldn’t be talking in public.

He contributed to what we are currently going through by helping enthrone Buhari and APC. That singular act has changed the course of this country.

I’m happy he didn’t benefit from his betrayal of Jonathan and today he’s crying everywhere like a baby.

I think Obi is still sceptical of the agenda of the drivers.

But I believe soon, the pressure will start mounting on Atiku to shelve his ambition of someone else.

Analysts are already blaming him for being the architect of PDP’s current woes. Making him the candidate of the coalition will just be a joke and an easy ride for Tinubu.
Politics › Atiku Or Peter Obi: Who Should Lead The Coalition? by Penguin2(op): 3:22pm On Apr 25, 2025
With the line of opposition blurring following the defection of some Delta Governor and Former Governor and others, with other expected defections, it’s now obvious that those who would be remaining in whatever would remain of opposition parties after defections, would have to work together to stand a chance against Tinubu in 2027.

But the question is, who would be the coalition’s best bet against Tinubu: Atiku or Obi?

Like someone said, with 13 governors and 38 senators, Atiku could only stay ahead of Obi with about 800k votes while Obi garnered over 6million votes without a single governor nor senator nor House of Rep or Assembly Member.

With the data above, isn’t it obvious who commands higher following even without stakeholders support?

Again, the zoning sentiments says it’s still the turn of the South in 2027 which gives Obi an edge.

Should the coalition make the mistake of adopting a northerner (Atiku or anyone else), then they may have played into the hands of Tinubu as the election will truly become a north vs south battle and I doubt the north will win that battle.

But with Obi, the coalition will be certain that Southeast and Southsouth is locked down for Obi. Add the votes of northern christians and then the north only has to convince the core north to vote Obi as well, and the numbers will be too much to rig.

But these are just my views. What do you think? Who is best fit to lead the coalition?
