DMerciful:
You dont expect the Igbos to behave like the Japanese esp when the causes of the uncivil war is still present till today. The same people that said Igbos will never be president are asking us to move on

The Igbos were among those who caused the civil war.
Right from Zik who made secession a treasonable offense by opposing Awolowo's secession clause in the constitution, to the Igbos undergoing ethnic cleansing in the guise of a military coup, to Ironsi not punishing the coup plotters and even planning to promote them, to Ironsi also introducing the unitary form of Government which would favor his people more, to Ironsi and Ojukwu waging war on Adaka Boro for trying to secede the Niger Delta from Nigeria, To Ojukwu attacking the Midwest region after declaring Biafra even before FG have made any plan to attack.

Igbos caused the war and they were foolish to start a war they can't win.

As for Presidency, the Igbos would have a chance at the it the day they stop playing politics of hate.

DMerciful:
Nah, Nigeria attacked first

How?

DMerciful:
What makes you think they've moved on?
They're still not powwrful to do anything.....doesn't mean they wont if they become powerful

But we don't see the littering the Internet, disturbing everyone of a bomb that happened more than half a century ago do you?

DMerciful:
The war started in Biafra! Igbos did not start the war, Nigerians brought the war to Biafra

Biafra was the first aggressor. After declaring Biafra, why did Ojukwu attack the Midwest even before Nigeria forces attacked?

gulfer:
Selfishly, our political elites here in Nigeria have bastardized the public tertiary education just like they did with primary and secondary education....... This is a beautiful piece of architecture

Ghana public universities are working because their tuition are expensive. We pay next to nothing in our federal universities yet we want it to be like Harvard and Oxford.

LZAA:
Peter obi built and surpassed the good work started by ngige in Anambra state
He is the reason people like the uba brothers and uche ekwunife are no where near state government coffers
The man performed exceptionally well during his tenure
So yes peter obi is better than tinubu by far
It's not even a competition
Lagos had governors like ndubisi kanu,buba marwa,mobolaji johnson,Michael otedola
None of those men ever claimed to develop lagos but they performed excellently
Again politics is not come chop or free money
It's about improving the lot of your citizens

Wow! OK o.

MasterJayJay:
You want to throw a shade? Other countries spent 4 years to get 20,000 megawatts. But you are rejoicing that your country spent 4 years to get only transformer.

Clap for yourself.

Things happened that you may never know about before those 4 years that Egypt increased their generation by 20,000 MW. It was not the first day of the first year that Egypt started that plan.

In 2006, Tinubu went to China to woo Chinese investors to build this new Lekki seaport. It is in 2022 (16 years later) that it became visible. What does that tell you?
Things does not happen in one day. Things of this magnitude takes time.

JOemmy:
Impressive buhari is really doing something tangible in the power sector but I will still never like him because of all the thausands of innocent souls he wasted.

Sometimes I ask people if they feel down in their heart really think that a sitting President will be happy seeing bloodshed in his country..
Do you actually believe that Buhari is don't want APC to continue in power? Do you really think that Buhari is happy about death in his Government?

I really hope PO wins next year. You guys will start justifying PO's flaws..

EmiLoKanMyAss:
The same government that promised her citizens uninterrupted power supply with 6 months saying it wasn't a rocket science.. mtcheew!

Everybody thinks solving Nigeria's problem is not rocket science until they get there.

That's the mistake PO is making now. He's making the problem of Nigeria look easy to solve. If he ever gets there his eyes will clear.

MasterJayJay:
See them celebrating transformer. Does transformer generate electricity?


Some Nigerians love suffering. You are not enjoying stable power and you are insulting Peter Obi that traveled to Egypt to study how their power infrastructure improved.

National grid under APC can be likened to a married man suffering from erectile dysfunction. We have lost count how many times the national grid has failed.

We need a quantum leap in solving the power problems of Nigeria.

Egypt added 25,000 megawatts (MW) of new power stations to their national electricity grid during the period from June 2014 to June 2018. Got that? 25,000 MW in just 4 years.

In October 2018, project consortium partners Siemens, Elsewedy Electric and Orascom Construction officially unveiled one of the largest combined cycle megaprojects in Beni Suef,
Egypt. The teams completed three plants totalling 14,400 MW in a record time of 27.5 months at the cost of €6 billion.

Buhari has been in power for 7 years +, how many megawatts has been added? He keeps borrowing and borrowing with no tangible thing to show for it. Some of you are like victim of ponzi schemes. Can't you see APC has scammed you for the past 7 years?

Peter Obi is looking for solutions to transform Nigeria, while others are looking for how to be in power.

Few months to go, that's when Buhari remembers he will buy transformers.

I've said it before, 90% of Obidients started following politics the day PO left PDP to Labour. Check the history of this transformer.
This transformer was being built since 2018, and it was 2022 that was the stipulated time for completion.

Also about the borrowed loans, don't be among the crowd talking about the loans. Actively do your own research. The loans are not being wasted.

Condemning things you don't know about doesn't tell good about your education.

Nobody will rate ikpeazu because the man is a disaster
Oh lest i forget i remember you afonjas hailing rochas at a point a while back to become igbo president
Even ngige too
Don't worry ehn obi is coming to put an end to stomach infrastructure and chop chop politics
You will actually earn what you work for
Cheers

Then how come are people comparing Tinubu's administration with PO. In what universe is Peter Obi better than Tinubu?

hammerT:
ALL IS NOT FAIR, AS U PUT IT.


IT IS NOT FAIR FOR THE WHOLE NIGERIA, BRITAIN AND ALLY TO GANG UP AND COMMIT GENOCIDE AGAINST SOUTH EASTERN NIGERIA, BECAUSE OF OUR OIL AND GAS WEALTH.



BLOCKADE IS A WAR CRIME.

Never start a war you can't win.

enemybulldozer:
I want you to clarify me clearly on what you wrote up here. Because I don't really understand what you mean by south Africans hate igbos, Indonesia hate igbos, Malaysian police hate igbos and so on and so forth.

Let me start by asking you some questions...
When south Africans started their xenophobic attacks in their country, were they asking their victims if they are Igbo before killing them? Were they killing only Igbos or were they killing nigerians in general??

When did you consult the Malaysian people or their government concerning Igbos living in their country and they tell you that they hate Igbos?
All the countries you mentioned that hates only igbo, how did you come about that?
You can only answer these questions if you are a truthful person.

Lastly, you and reno should tell Igbos why the northerners killed igbos in 1945 and 1953 was there any Igbo coup as of then?

Igbos are know for playing victimisation card every time.
Just last week when that video trended of Lagos State Government auctioning cars of traffic defaulters, I went to Facebook. You should have seen the number of Igbos saying Lagos State is only aunctioning cars owned by Igbos.

hammerT:
THIS WRITE UP BY RENO OMOKRI IS A COMPLETE REVISIONIST HISTORY.



I DONT KNOW WHY THIS MAN, FEELS THE NEED OR URGE TO ATTACH HIMSELF TO EVERY IGBO AFFAIR IN NIGERIA.



HE KEEPS DISPLAYING HIS IGNORANCE.


THE 1966 COUP WAS NOT THE ONLY COUP IN NIGERIA.



WE HAD SEVERAL OTHER COUPS, INCLUDING THE GIDEON ORKAR COUP.




DO WE LABEL THEM FULANI COUP, TIV COUP, ETC.



THE 1966, COUP IS NO EXCUSE FOR GENOCIDE AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF THE EAST, AFTERALL, THE PEOPLE DID NOT COMMIT ANY COUP, THIS WAS A COUP BY POLITICAL ACTORS, FOLLOWED BY A COUNTER COUP AND SEVERAL OTHER COUPS.


THE LAND, SEA AND AIR BLOCKADE OF BIAFRA AND THE GENOCIDE, THAT COST BETWEEN 3 TO 5 MILLION LIVES, CAN NEVER BE JUSTIFIED.


RENO FORGOT TO STATE THAT THE REASON BRITAIN SUPERVISED THE GENOCIDE OF IGBO PEOPLE WAS BECAUSE OF OIL AND GAS DISCOVERED IN THE SE REGION.

YES, LET ANOTHER WAR HAPPEN, WE SET THE DATE FOR 2023.

Unfortunately, all is fair in love.
America detonated 2 nuclear bombs in Japan. Today Japan have moved on.
Prof Uju should move on.

swagficient:
This is the kind of initiatives I want for the rest of Nigeria, but y'all too blinded by sentiments to vote people with good leadership qualities.

5 years ago, I'll never in my life think Nigerians would compare Tinubu and Peter Obi.
It's quite shocking.

Its quite sad that in 20 years time, if Sanwo Olu and Ikpeazu are contesting for Presidency in 2 different parties, some people will rate Ikpeazu better.

Millimann:

Difrent:
Igbos feel they are marginalized
Igbos feel someone somewhere is out to control them.....ironically using their kinsmen
YET
They deceive themselves they are independent minded
Something must be wrong with the igbos then

What we other Nigerians know is that its insatiable GREED and ENVY.thats the driving force of all igbo actions. The same greed and envy made ZIK want to control eastern and western region only for your likes to claim he was used . Authur Nzeribes greed and envy made him allow himself to be used to truncate june 12

That guy that instituted the suit most likely sold out his tribe for a pot of porridge.

Yes such people exist in other tribes but it's only igbos that pretend such dont exist among them.

You forgot to add Michael Okpara who advised Zik to shun Awolowo and side with the Fulanis.

Ruke1989:
What happened to your hands? Are you leprous you can't mine by yourself? Why jumping here and there begging for miners and for investors? Una dey craze? What happened to una hands? You want private companies to do it so you can sit your lazy ass's and stifle them with tax but you don't want to know the pain of being investor yourselves?

Black people are really the most difficult to rule. See what is coming out of this black man's digital ink.

imadiyi:
Tinubu is not yet dead, even if he's seen as a working corpse. In a situation where his competitor lacks the requisite knowledge and portfolio, Tinubu could be managed. Don't you get it?

OK o

imadiyi:
Zero (0) can be used as a number in the absence of none. Remember, a choice has to be made amongst bad alternatives irrespective of their nature. And since a choice has to be made In the midst of worse, then, bad becomes a lifeline.

My being as a youth, should not automatically be seen as success in governance, if there exist knowledge-gap in my portfolio as regards government. In that case, Tinubu should be embrace to do the job, if there's no young man armed with the requisite knowledge, capacity and experience for such position.

These two bolded paragraphs gives a clear explanation to what you envIsage up there. Please, digest it comprehensively.

If there's a 0.0000001% chance you'll choose Tinubu over any well educated youth without a criminal background then I see no reason to continue this conversation.

Again let's go disagree. Tinubu is my choice. Peter Obi is your choice. No harm done.

Seniorwriter:
Nice but SMH ...
It's high time Nigerians get the orientation that leaders are elected to do such things and stop the hyping when they perform their roles haven been elected .
The mentality of singing praises over a basic social amenity is sickening.
Do these leaders not get huge fat allowances and monthly salaries whilst in those positions of leadership? Or is it not the nations revenue and tax payers monies they use to execute project(s) so why the fuse and noise @OP and likes.

Thanks for quoting ....
Stay Woke.
Hope you have a residual income too...

SMH @you and your kind of mindset.


We need young visionary leaders abeg.

@Seniorwriter

You mean we shouldn't praise Messi and Ronaldo and Halaand and Neymar and Mbappe when they score a goal because that's what they were paid to do after all?

EndsarsReloaded:
But Nigeria's fake data will even tell you that many cities are more built up and more populated than Onitsha.

The most notorious fake statistics agency is that their NBS. Little wonder nothing works in Nigeria.

SMH!

But you believe a statistics that says Lagos is the 2nd most unliveable city in the world ba?

Somebody will look you in the eye and tell you that not Borno, not Sokoto, not a war torn desolate city in Ukraine that nobody is living in, not a city in America where a teenager will wake up at the wrong side of the bed, go to a school filled with kids and spray bullets but Lagos State is the 2nd worst city in the whole wide world and because you hate Tinubu, you'll believe wholeheartedly.


Is there wisdom there?

kushma:
Although this is a good idea, but it will lead to loss of jobs of average people working in those sectors, it might be better the merge them with other sectors and crop out unnecessary ones. But when will they talk about reducing bogus salaries of these politicians. Senators etc

Who will talk about reduction in the senators bogus salaries if not the senators themselves.
Them nor born any President papa to try reduce am.
Even Buhari wey try remove senate budget padding, them nor gree sign 2016 budget. Any President that wants to work should leave senators salaries and do other things. If not dem go show him papa shege.

Everything Peter Obi supporters accuse every other politician of doing is being done by Peter Obi.

1. Cross carpeting.
Peter Obi moved from APGA to PDP to Labour. Regardless of the reason, it will be hypocritical of criticising other politician for cross carpeting and justify Peter Obi for doing so.
Peter Obi cross carpeted for personal interest. Nothing more nothing less.

2. Corruption.
Peter Obi has several corruption case on his head.
Failing to declare some of his asset and claiming that it was because it is a joint asset with his daughter.
Before you justify that action, would you justify the act if it was done by a politician that is not someone you're fan of?
Peter Obi pumped public money into a company he has shares in.
He pumped public money in family business.
Peter Obi was vice presidential candidate the only vice President in the history of Nigeria (in the persob of Atiku) whose boss (Obasanjo) wrote a whole page of his corruption background. If that's not corruption, then nothing is corruption.

3. Broken promise.
Obi was captured on live TV swearing he will never leave APGA, saying he will die the day he lives. Since that day he has left to two different parties.

4. Desperation.
What else gives a desperate politician than one who moves from party to party.

5. Lies
Peter Obi is best known for his lies.
The most recent one of which he lied on TV that Tinubu's follower advised Yorubas not to vote for PO because PO will build a seaport in the SE and SS which will decongest Lagos'.
Peter Obi knew fully well that the person that made that post (Powell) was his own supporter that was why he asked the person that read aloud the post to no mention the posters name.

Peter Obi lied he has only one watch and shoe pair whereas numerous pics and videos shows he wear more than one watch and shoe.

6. Sharing monies and goodies during election period.
There's a popular pic of Peter Obi dashing his fans money during the 2019 election period.

Peter Obi is no different from the average Nigerian politicians. What makes him stand out is his trying to paint himself as a righteous person.

The only bank in Nigeria not having problem is ____?

Kuda. The Bank of the free.

If only all these people building Private universities invest that money on public universities, Nigerian public universities for done improve.

AstraDroid:
You are not smart enough to author relative truth needless to say absolutes

AstraDroid:
Silly you

The truth doesn't always have to be bitter.

Gkemz:
He's doing nothing other than fighting former governor. Empowering uniformed touts such as Entraco, OCDA, ISTMA, DTI, IGR, etc to go after motorist and business people and extort money from them. He has never constructed road that last beyond 1 month. All he is to do uneven patches on the portholes. The roadpaths Rochas created is the one he's patching and taking credit of.

Funny enough, this was the kind of comments people were saying in Nairaland during Peter Obi's tenure.

Fast forward to 2022, the same people are actually comparing Peter Obi with Bola Tinubu.

Is God not wonderful?

The truth is that there's no Governor people will not complain about. There are still some people in Lagos that will look you in the eye and say Fashola did not work.

JoeyNaza:
Must you guys be dense. No wonder, Agbado is said to be poisonous to the mind.

Queen Elizabeth was part of whatever Uju was angry about.

Peter Obi and 70% of SE were below 18 then so where is their role in an " alleged " tribal coup.

Was the Yoruba guy that participate in the coup also an Igbo. Use brain

Igbos like Ike Nwachukwu fought on the side of Nigeria during the civil war. From the logic of your last sentence, it means the war was never between Nigeria VS Igbos because Igbos also fought on Nigeria's side.

AstraDroid:
Why is Seun so silly?

I never knew the chauvinistic part of him until he decided to sign up a twitter account. In a generation when Nigeria is supposed to be talking about uniting, he continues to act out his low bandwidth of consciousness.

I bet you were part of those people that praised Nnamdi Kanu for "uniting" Nigeria before his arrest.
