slivertongue: Elites strategy to stay relevant. Most Northerners are sensitive to religion, thus the deployment of anti Islam sentiments against Obi. some knew it was a false accusation but couldnt force the people to see Obi as an amiable personality who cares about NIGERIANS
As bitter as it might taste in mouth of some Obidients, this is why somebody like Elrufai is needed to pair with Obi.
With Elrufai on the ticket some of those propaganda will no longer stick.
ReubenE: Don't waste my time o that challenge bro. Something that you are currently doing and you're asking me to show you any Igbo doing it. It begins with you
I’m not forcing anybody to accept he’s Igbo, I’m merely countering your erroneous assertion.
LegendHero: Tinubu was not the one controlling INEC as at then and even Buhari body language did not show he supported Tinubu to win.
So direct your question to Buhari. By the way, your ELupee party agent at the election ground no get result ni? Oh sorry, gbajue losers don’t have evidence to prove they won.
IREV is just a viewing portal. It’s just like saying because you don’t see jamb result online invalidate the jamb certificate given to you.
Loser party!
Yeah, Tinubu was not in power and was not in charge of INEC but whatever wuru wuru that happened benefited him, right?
Now, if Tinubu was not in cahoots with Mahmoud to perpetrate the electoral heist, why hasn’t Tinubu sacked him like he sacked all those he felt didn’t dance to his tune?
Why is Emefiele behind bars and Mahmoud roaming free?
garfield1: I said Muslim areas not core north sir.core north refers to Muslim north.it matters afterall you guys targeted Christian votes in the north.
Northwest is core north
Northeast is core north
So, whatever vote PO got in Northwest will be counted as votes from Core North of Northwest. The figures and statistics will reflect for him in northwest. Same with Northeast.
If he focused on aliens, traditionalists or moderate Muslims to get the votes, that’s immaterial.
Because if we are talking about that, we will also go to southeast and check the demography of people that voted Tinubu and see how many are Muslims and how many are northerners living in southeast. But you didn’t care about those. What you care is that Tinubu got votes in Southeast.
ReubenE: Hatred for Igbos? You clearly do not know what you are saying. Y'all don't like listening to the truth.
I have been in many occasions and even here, defended Igbos when Yorubas molested you guys for your overbearing and impulsive attitude of insulting everything that is not Igbo.
Showing me a video of Okowa, Ameachi saying they are Igbo proves nothing as anybody can be from anywhere as there are hausas, Ijaws, Yorubas etc with Igbo roots due to intermarriage, likewise there are Igbos with Hausa, Ijaw and Yoruba roots.
If you want to get the right information, go to the traditional stool/rulers and not some individual men saying they are this and that then people like you using that to equate a whole ethnic group under another ethnic group. Go and meet Ikwerre and Anioma traditional rulers proclaiming their ethnic groups as Igbo. You referenced Amaechi as confirmation of Ikwerre as Igbo, the same Ikwerre man Wike denounced you people so what are you on.
You’ve moved it to traditional rulers now? After I showed you videos of influential men from these two tribes saying they are Igbo you have changed the goalpost?
Now, show me video of any Igbo claiming that Ikwerre and Anioma are Igbos since you accused us of forcing them.
slivertongue: The way Obi was received in the North in 2022-23 tells you that we have nothing against him. Obi is not responsible for any challenge the North is facing. No Northerner can say obi said anything negative about us. Infact in the run up to the election we had nothing against him, nothing tangible
Then why did they dispatch Imams against him to castigate his character and campaign against him?
garfield1: This is why you always talk carelessly and blindly. 98% of obi votes in kaduna were from the Christian dominated lgas.in the Muslim dominated lgas like Zaria,kad north,igabi,makarfi,kudan,sabon gari,birnin gwari,he failed massively.same thing in gombe,taraba ,adamawa where christians voted him but Muslims buried the fraud
You are the one who contradict yourself.
You said Tinubu got more votes than Obi got in the core north and I just countered that fallacy by reminding you of result from Kaduna alone. Or is Kaduna not core north again? Those it matter where the votes came from?
Washere: Point of corrections please, never in your life called my president Criminal otherwise you will have issue with me, I swear. If you want insult anybody you can go ahead but leave my president alone.....
—Check all the areas Peter Obi won, they are either Igbo region or Christian dominated areas.
—Obi strategists miscalculated, Christians don’t have the numbers to put him in Aso rock because you need to remove Yoruba Christians from the equation. Tribe is more potent than religion in the West.
—So on Election Day, Obi couldn’t get past the third position because the Northern christian area and minority Ibos don’t have the numbers.
—Now Obi realize the strategy mistake and now running around mosque and extending fellowship to the true Muslim North. You know what? People can see through his deceit and they will collect all his money and still not vote him.
—2027, you will start another thread crying about how you were rigged again. God give us long life to 2027 and beyond.
If your lord and master was so sure Obi was not gonna win, why did they have to switch off the IREV for him? Why?
slivertongue: No politician is hated by the North though a conservative society. It's the elites who seek to use regional and religious sentiments as a campaign strategy. Obi was well campaigned for over here even without bags of money flying up and down. The Muslim community played a great role in his six million votes. They supported him with funds, mobilization, contacts and planning so his tour of the North in recent times is a thank you visit. If the North is convinced about him they will wholesomely go for him.
You are right.
Furthermore, with his tour of the north, Obi is now lowering a lot of the defenses they had against him and the impression they had of him which is good.
Even if it’s 5000 new people he convinces in the north, that’s an addition.
garfield1: Obi failed woefully in Muslim areas more than tinubu failed in SE.tinubu is likely to have more votes in Se than obi in Muslim north.kiss the truth
Obi got more than 300k votes in Kaduna alone.
Was Tinubu’s combined votes in the entire Southeast up to half of that?
LegendHero: Yes, you guys are minority. It is the Nigerian reality.
Tinubu impending loss 😂. If you can’t stop a man that boldly claim “Emi Lokan” from winning at the ballot, who will stop him when he is already wielding the power?
It’s so funny that I used to think you were reasonable but I was wrong.
The only reason Tinubu went away with what he did in 2023 was because people trusted INEC to organize a free and fair election.
And when INEC went rogue, people believed the judiciary will address the grievances raised therefrom.
But now we have seen how useless the two institutions are, nobody is going to believe in INEC nor the judiciary anymore.
ReubenE: Igbos causing nuisance are the pathetic lot. Apologies to the good ones.
So Asari turning on ring light in front of a camera to say he traced his father to Igbo land means every other person from Kalabari and Ibani is Igbo?
Igbos especially the youths should stop forcing themselves on other people, at this point it is becoming embarrassing as almost every minority in the ND is rejecting y'all embarrassingly. Ikwerre and Anioma that ordinarily should be your closest cousins are rejecting you too, as if that is not embarrassing enough, y'all want to add Ijaws too. Igbo is a majority tribe in Nigeria that need to respect themselves as such instead of always bringing avoidable insults upon themselves. With the way y'all are blatantly and disrespectfully claiming everything, soon Igbos would be driven away from all the minority groups they've been living with.
This is Rotimi Amaechi from Ikwerre saying he’s Igbo on national television.
Which of these two men were forced by Igbos to a national television to say what they said?
You are here claiming Ikwerre and Anioma are denying being Igbo but I just showed video clips respectable men from the two tribes. Where’s ur own evidence to support your claim?
ReubenE: So Fubara or anybody wearing Isi Agu makes them Igbo? This is very myopic thought. I love Igbos but Igbos really need to curtail their nuisance and forcing themselves on other people. They know the history of every Nigerian tribe except their own.
The amount of time Igbos dedicate into insulting other tribes especially Ijaws on Facebook and elsewhere is astonishing. Fubara is not Igbo so stop forcing it. I never knew a time would come that I will detest Igbos considering that Ijaws are very close to them culturally, economically and otherwise until I saw how Igbos hate every other person except themselves. Insult and downgrade anything of other people that is not their own, superiority complex and putting themselves even in conversations that don't concern them.
Igbos need to stop this nuisance especially towards Ijaw people as whether they like it or not, ijaws are the only friends they have left in Nigeria and that friendship is hanging by a thin thread with Igbo insults and nuisance towards Ijaws in Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta
Forcing ourselves on others?
So it was Igbos that asked Asari Dokubo to turn on his ring light, record a video saying he’s Igbo, and post it on the internet, Abi?
LegendHero: Jonathan case is an anomaly. Yar’adua died and he took over. He contested that 2011 election as an incumbent so normally he will choose a Northerner as a vice.
When the North have claim to power in any election cycle, they will never play second fiddle to anyone for that ballot. Elrufai don’t need to be Vice first before he can win presidency. He is from the North!!!
The North will either contest as a front runner in 2027 but it will be ridiculous to believe North will play second fiddle to an Ibo man. For what benefit?
So what will El-Rufai Vice to Obi achieve? Will he suddenly overthrow Obi if their ticket win or will he wait for 8 more years after Obi when age would not be on his side anymore?
If El-Rufai want to be Vice President, he would have been Tinubu vice if he so wish and if the NW caucus push that.
Obi presidency is a still dream, it can never come to fruition.
He is from a minority tribe. To challenge the status quo, he needs to have the political machinery. Aside his Ibo people and his Christian agenda, what is his true political network to infiltrate the North? Digging boreholes and eating with almajiris?
The audacity of you to call Igbo a minority tribe, and you expect me to still waste my intellectual energy on you? Nahhhh
Pain of Tinubu’s impending loss in 2027 has made you more emotional than logical.
kingmaster2009: Daydreamer ....spotted You are still living with your yesterday sense ....it.will.shock.you that Jagaban will win 2 southeast state in 2027 election....wait and see .
Chai!
This is self deception taken too far. Even Tinubu can’t say what you just said because he knows it’s an impossibility.
LegendHero: You people don’t even know your place in the order of hierarchy.
How will El-Rufai deputize Obi? How can a majority tribe deputize a minority tribe in the context of 2027?
Ask yourself, what is El-Rufai and the North benefit if they deputize an Ibo man when they can just wait 4 more years and hold back the mantle?
Presidency is so powerful in Nigeria, it is not for kids.
Lol! You people will say any illogical thing to defend whatsoever makes you feel good abi?
Namadi Sambo from Northwest Goodluck Jonathan, an Ijaw, from Southsouth. Ijaw is not even the top 3 tribe in Nigeria. But here you are claiming Elrufai from same state as Namadi Sambo is too big to deputize Obi, an Igbo man from a majority tribe?
How low can your reasoning go?
And ask yourself, why wouldn’t Elrufai jump on an opportunity to deputize Obi?
If Tinubu spends 8 years in power, when power returns to the north, Tinubu will take it to Northeast where Shettima and Ribadu are positioning to take over. That would automatically shut Elrufai out forever. Because after 8 years of Northeast presidency, power will return to south again.
Now, are you still arguing that Elrufai will not take the opportunity to become Vice President and have a shut at the presidency from a position of power in 4 or 8 years?
garfield1: Loyalty is the most important thing in politics.if you must be considered,you must give APC more votes like SS or let Lp address your cries.you will keep waiting forever as APC is not going anytime soon.besides,you have deputy speaker,minister of works,deputy whip
Igbos will rather drown in the Atlantic than vote for APC especially with all the trash that Tinubu supporters always talk against Igbos.
vanitybutiwanti: you're very daaft and stupiid, now today Asari is your lord and saviour, when Asari said his father sold igbo slaves how did you react? Tomorrow if wike says something favourable about you low self esteem individuals, you will praise him to high heavens.
Like I said earlier you know where your igbo thing starts and stop in real life, you can claim and write anything on the Internet but when you log out and try to bring your ipob or biafran nonsense to any of the Ss states especially Rivers, Bayelsa and Delta, you'll be dealth with vigorously, it has happened before and I will happen again since you guys do not want to learn
vanitybutiwanti: igbo man shut up, you are the delusional idiiot with a mental problem, a nonentity that thinks igbos have a say in Rivers politics, you must be on crack and mpkurumiri. Get lost and don't quote me again, this will be my last response to your mpkurumiri induced post
They supply you with facts and instead of countering them with superior facts to support your claim, you begin to hyperventilate.
vanitybutiwanti: That's your business delusional bigot, you claim anything online, when you log out, You'll be faced with reality
He showed you both Wike and Fubara wearing Isiagu and you are still saying he’s claiming?
I’m sure you also didn’t see the video of Fubara speaking Igbo the other time abi?
You also didn’t see the video of Asari Dokubo saying he and so many others are Igbos too?
Those ones are still claims abi?
I understand how painful it would be for you all to see the lies and propaganda that your fathers and you have laboured so hard to propagate from generation to generation falling like a pack of cards.
