₦airaland Forum

9icest:
Nairaland has gone to the dogs. Shame Seun watched this vibrant forum become a beer palor political wing where asinine and vapid trash are been posted daily all in the name of ethnic political propaganda -- to support PO. Sadly, if this site was owned by an Ibo, no single Yoruba man will have a voice in it, and its sad Seun is shortchanging his own people to please some hopelessly ungrateful people. Dont worry, when they are done with you, they will still shyt on your head. The MOD should pls delete my account forever. Ive given up on this pathetic forum.

Rozross:
Some people just follow the crowd blindly. Peter Obi supporters are very arrogant and spew thrash, maybe the nonsense thrash they spew all over social media will help them win 2023 election. Obi isn’t the messiah Nigeria needs, he lies a lot and didn’t transform anambra when he was governor, I Keep wondering where all the empty hypes is coming from. Tinubu and Atiku will do miles better than Obi. Obi should rather focus on having more kids, he needs it more than his Aso rock ambition.

Rozross:
They should keep on been unruly, it’s to their disadvantage . You can’t force your candidate on people’s throat, never.

Authority1o1:
Okay...


Tinubu would have ended up 'labouring in vain' when he is grossly defeated by Obi in 2023.

His permutation and plan was that by installing Buhari, he would inherit Buhari's supporters when the president would have been through and therefore have a smooth walk to Aso Rock.

Well, his hoping was ludicrous and would make for a late night comedy.

Northern Muslims place Islam before their own parents in their decisions and Tinubu isn't Muslim enough. Even his Kanuri running mate isn't loved.

In all, I see Obi cruising to victory while the self-acclaimed master strategist continues to shoot himself in the foot.

fitita:
FIVE Reasons why I will NEVER vote Peter Obi in 2023. (The last reason will shock you)


1. I am a Yoruba man. I will rather vote a Yoruba man than an Igbo man.

Except that I lived along Lagos-Abeokuta expressway when Obasanjo was president, and he lived in Ota, along the same road, and it was amongst the worst in the country despite my neighbor being president

And the road remains so till today despite Lagos/FG alignment, which was the reason given then. Tribal politics has never benefited any tribe in Nigeria. The north remains the poorest despite having the most presidents, Bayelsa remains poor with development issues despite GEJ.

2. Tinubu fixed Lagos. Increased IGR

Infact Tinubu paid for my WAEC in 2002. I thank him for that. I thank him. But there is more to my son’s future than Lagos’ revenue and WAEC. Lagos is not fixed, it is infact an epitome of Nigeria’s political corruption, underdevelopment and vested interest-driven rot - in transport system through NURTW, in corruption by public officers, wasteful spending, collapse of infrastructure and delays of infrastructural projects despite huge revenue potential, high handedness of security officials, etc.

I do not believe Tinubu will cause a paradigm shift in governance in Nigeria, because clearly, governance in Lagos has even come to represent the very worst of Nigerian governance - cronyism, favoritism, extortion, bribery, violence, rigging, crude godfatherism, profligacy, etc

So where will a man who has enabled this for over 20yrs suddenly get the change we need from? The contest is not between Tinubu as governor vs Peter Obi as governor. It is between Tinubu as a political shark and enabler of profligate governance vs. Reform-minded minimalism of PO

3. Peter Obi is IPOB. Atiku will unify Nigeria.

Except that Atiku has NEVER called out herdsmen attack on other tribes because of his cultural linkage, never called out banditry will his full chest, never called out religious killings in the north - infact deleted a tweet on his behalf condemning the killing of Deborah. Never condemned terrorism-linked Minister Pantami, and shown consistently that he is a closet Buharist waiting to launch his tribal &religious bias once he reaches Aso rock. But its Obi who has repeatedly denied IPOB that is the problem

4. Peter Obi cannot win. Labour Party has no structure

Many of us have since agreed that real structural change in Nigeria cannot come from the two dominant parties - the only way to achieve this is for a people-backed candidate to win. This is the closest we have being to this.

Else, others will be more sympathetic to their badly corrupt political structures. Tinubu and Atiku are amongst the biggest gladiators of that corrupt political structure. LP and Obi have built a momentum that is reverberating across the world. It can happen and it is happening.

5. Peter Obi’s supporters are toxic and abusive. I can never align with such bullies.

Well, all thanks to Buharists who introduced this approach in 2015, and to be fair, it worked for ousting GEJ and built momentum for Buhari globally.

That GMB ended up a complete calamity isn’t because of that support, but because he was never a good candidate. Peter Obi is by all parameters better than Buhari. The anger is even more justified now because the rot has further deepened. Nigerians are dying like chickens.

You can’t expect a dying man to be smiling at you for supporting his killers. APC ruined Nigeria in the past 7.5years. Tinubu endorsed the ruin and his boys benefitted from it. If that same level of venom is required to achieve the 2015 effect, then sorry, but I’m not sorry.

"These are the reasons why I won’t vote Peter Obi". I won’t vote him alone. I will vote him with my family, friends and all associates I can rally.

I have this question repeatedly and no answer is forth coming. Where are the pictorial evidence of what Peter Obi did in Anambra when he held sway as the then governor of Anambra? All of a sudden a biafran wants to rule the zoo and nobody is talking.

My President cannot be made in Aba!

Who is the "Peter" Ayo Adebanjo who has no single electoral value in his Backyard wants to foist on his People ?

Benji Obi writes on Peter Obi's Politics of Principle and asks ... Is Afenifere "Leader" right ?

"Afenifere Leader, Ayo Adebanjo, says Peter Obi is better than Atiku and Tinubu in terms of "Politics of Principles"

What does he mean by Politics of Principle ?

Since joining active Politics, Peter Obi has cross carpeted from APGA to PDP even after enjoying 8 years as Anambra Governor in the Party. And now from PDP to Labour Party. So, where is the principle ?

As a matter of fact, he invested his State money to the tune of $12.24m into International Breweries where his own Company Next International has a stake. Is that part of the principle ?

He built the first Helipad at the Government House, gave away SUV’s to Girlfriends. Is all that the principle Adebanjo is talking about ?

Peter Obi increased the money for his Private Kitchen at the Government to N2m monthly and increased the feeding for the Police Officers attached to him to N7m monthly. But he pocketed the money.

Peter lied when he said he stopped the buffet style dinner being served at the Government House.

What he did was to sack all the previous Cooks and Butlers and employed over 30 Cooks/Butlers/Stewards from Akwa Ibom and expanded the Kitchen budget.

The Bills are still there. It is verifiable … the Akwa Ibom Cooks and Stewards were over 20 … So who were they cooking for ? Buffet is always there … Butlers and others.

Prof Emenike Obi – Principal Secretary withdraws the money every month and pays him … and it is verifiable. Are all these the Principle too ?

He uses the Church to trick People … He is not a true Christian … He attends Olumba Olumba Obu with the Helicopter … always accompanied by Valentine Obieyem.

Ngozi Okoye was the Person who books Private Jets or a Helicopters for Peter Obi whenever he wants to travel.

Peter Obi always uses Private Jets to travel as often as any other State Governor in Nigeria. The records are there and can be made Public.

Peter Obi purchased a Bulletproof BMW for his Wife and two Bulletproof Landcrusiers for himself. He even bought an additional one for his Brother, Damian.

Peter Obi prefers to use Okey Ezeibe to make Vehicle purchases through his Legacy Motors because of a favour granted by Okey Ezeibe when Peter Obi’s Aide and man-Friday.

Valentine Obieyem was arrested hauling N250m from Government House to his private Office in Apapa, Lagos.

In explaining away the reasons for the cash haul, he gave Legacy Motors as an alibi – that the money was for the purchase of Vehicles from a Neighbouring Country through Legacy Motors and that the money was being hauled for Legacy Motors.

He told the anti-graft Agency that the Vehicles being purchased were meant for the various Head of Service (HOS) and other Permanent Secretaries. Peter Obi got the HOS and the PS to play along.

Their reward was Peugeot 406 each. He purchased for each of them a brand new Peugeot 406 each as bribe.

The over 150 Hummer Buses purchased by the State Government under the Public Mass Transport Bill for use for the ANIDS Transport Scheme and it turned out to be a corruption Scheme to benefit an Associate of Peter Obi.

On the eve of Peter Obi’s exit from the Government House, he gave away the entire Hummer Buses to his Associate by name Benji Uba who immediately began repainting the Buses, selling them off and pocketing the proceeds. Not minding that the Buses were State owned.

Peter Obi should be careful the way he opens his mouth because we can expose him to the Public enough to put him behind Bars.

Obiano does not want to probe him. He should shut up.

Peter Obi also received part of the controversial campaign Funds distributed by the Jonathan Campaign Team.

Peter Obi did not even utilize the money given to him for the purpose it was given. He instead used the money for Private Business and to sponsor Local Political Campaigns within Anambra such as that of Uche Ekwunife, Chinedu Idigo and others.

We have information that he is lobbying to avoid being probed.

What he does not know is that President Buhari is a no nonsense Person. He does not take kindly to Hypocrites and corruption.

Peter Obi was “very corrupt”. The then Governor Peter Obi would pack over 6 Suitcases filled with Foreign Currency (mainly Dollars and then take off to see his blood Sister (Matina) who is an ordained Catholic Sister at the Holy Rosary (HRS).

The then Governor Peter Obi would store the Suitcases at the Sister’s residence at the Catholic owned premises.

The suitcases would then find another destination. Peter Obi would engage in the practice repeatedly until her dismissal.

Sister Matina was dismissed from the HRS after she was caught. She left for the Congo following her dismissal but returned to the Government House where she stayed till the end of Peter Obi’s Administration.

Peter Obi’s propensity for primordial corruption and extravagant lifestyle – the type only expected of a Military Dictator – is shown in his relationship with a one-time Girlfriend and Colleague by the name Adaeze Idigo who rose from the position of Deputy Director to Permanent Secretary within the span of 2/5years.

Peter Obi and Adaeze Idigo had a love Child during their young years - a Baby girl. Peter Obi had started his Primary School and Secondary School education in Anambra north senatorial district – the same area where Adaeze Idigo hails from.

Peter Obi attended St Augustine Umuoba Anam and then Father Josephine Memorial Grammar School where he met Adaeze. They two conjugated and gave birth to a Baby Girl in the 70s. She currently resides in Alabama, USA.

When the Peter Obi’s love Child with Adaeze Idigo wedded in the USA, the State Government of Anambra State was represented by Professor Stella Okunna who gave $50,000 on behalf of the State. The wedding took place in Alabama.

Peter Obi’s treatment of Adaeze Idigo was simply extravaganza. She was given a Landcruiser Sport Utility vehicle. Her Mother was given the same along with a Driver paid for by the State Government.

Her family (including the Mum) were relocated to the Suburbs of Enugu – into a new House purchased with the resources of the state.

A Power Generator worth N2m was taken directly from the Government House to her new Residence.

Her brtother, Chuka Idigo who earns a living as a Contractor working almost exclusively for Anambra State Government alone also benefited immensely from Peter Obi’s extravaganza.

He was given numerous contracts without due process. Many of them weren’t executed including the House of Assembly Headquarters… and others.

Peter Obi had wanted the Governorship to be zoned to the North Senatorial District following his exit from the Government House.

He wanted to install Chinedu Idigo”, a Brother to Adaeze Idigo.

They used Chuka Idigo to raise election money through the many Contracts awarded him without due process but it backfired because the People of the North Senatorial District who were aware of the relationship between Peter Obi and Adaeze Idigo rejected the Candidacy of Chinedu Idigo immediately it was announced to them by Peter Obi.

The choice of Willie Obiano was forced upon Peter Obi by the People of Anambra North Senatorial District.

Peter Obi’s Administration was typical of what is expected of a corrupt State Government.

Many of the contract awards were fraudulent and his claim of being financially prudent with State resource is fantasy.

All Contractors must have Accounts with Fidelity back… and all checks are collected at his House.

Peter Obi claims his Administration is not owing any Contractor but “that is a lie” because “contractors were owed… Obiano is silently paying for works done during Peter Obi’s administration”.

That's why I tell people this man doesn't have the experience.... To even to make matters worse with the current situation the county is in right now I don't think this guy can do shit my fear is he will end up like Buhari too...

BATified2023:
Isn’t it funny that the same people who left their states to come n hustle n lagos are d same people condemning tinubu

The same people whose governor couldn’t think out of d box to create ideas that will liberate their states,imagine psquare who found solace in lagos to the extent of ignoring their fathers house now telling u to vote peter obi

The same people who dare not try to go out on Monday in their own region

It’s just like leaving Nigeria to hustle in the USA because Nigeria leaders aren’t good only to get to USA n make it big then all of a sudden u want the same Nigeria leader that made u leave Nigeria to come n govern USA

If Nigeria leaders are good,y leave in d first place?

To the people shouting obi,if obi turned his state to paradise y leave the place in d first place?

Y did he himself leave a state he governed for complete 8 years for lagos?

Nigerians must use their head cos how can someone who cant handle a small state suddenly wake up n tell u he wants to handle d whole of Nigeria

The VP roles are under the directives of the president. If they have a good understanding nothing is impossible for the two of them to do.


Meanwhile, Most Igbos you see around only pretend to be Nigerian during the day and support Biafran at night, then after 9 months of indescretion and treachery they become pregnant with intense disloyalty and hatred which made them labour in vain at LABOUR PARTY and give birth to triplets called Zoogerian, Zoombidient and Obituary.

OBI is a fraud, a Biafra at heart. This is a man who invested millions of dollars into a beer business own by is family that still promotes Biafra till this day. Hero beer wears the biafra flag from head to toe.. You can see in the Picture below for yourself, this not propaganda, it's what it is.

Nigerians needs be wise oooo. The black cloth this man wears up and down is part and parcel of the biafra insignia. Don't be fooled, he never tranformed Anambra state, after eight years the state became heavily indebted. The suffer no dey tire you people started their suffering from Anambra state.

These are really treacherous people, followers of Nnamdi Kanu that called Nigeria zoo and are now suddenly in love with Nigeria and want to rescue it...no be juju be dat? Igbos for once are never sincere with Nigeria.

Telling an IPOBidient not to lie is like asking them to stop breathing. It's impossible. In addition, telling them to take responsibility for their lies/actions is like asking them to hang themselves.

Mumu the way Ibos reason is out of this world, no brain

Ofunaofu:
In just 2 days of announcement, over 300 people stormed and filled the hall for the event. When I heard about it, I quickly checked my work calendar and prioritised my work to make sure I got there on time. I thought I made a huge sacrifice by taking a 40 minutes transportation to the venue since I live in a city near Frankfurt. On getting there, I saw people who drove 4-5 hours from other cities and some from France and the Netherlands. Some said, they just saw the poster online and came to verify.

We where all seated on time. The room was hot all through (most European rooms don’t have AC rather a heater) people just sat, fanning themselves.
We spent 4 good hours with Peter standing all through responding to over 30 questions from the people.

When I asked a young man who didn’t know how to navigate Frankfurt because he came from The Netherlands why he had to drive all the way? He said, “I asked myself what was going to be my own sacrifice to this cause of a new Nigeria and my physical presence was the best sacrifice ” He got home 4am today.

Mr Obi waited for 2 extra hours taking personal pictures with everyone. We all lined up waiting patiently.

Was his speech all that powerful? Does he manufacture words or what? The answer is No.
He looked like a Pastor preaching Psalms 23 but this time with basic reality. We all know Nigeria’s problems, he is just able to give practical solutions and say it the way we want to hear, of course with some examples of governance success in Anambra. Good governance isn’t hard.. we just make it difficult in Africa.

People are yearning for change.. they just saw a man who is ready and identitied with him. PO is a force bigger than himself. There are times and seasons, this is the time.

The obidients are like ants, no king, no “leader” we just move according.

With what I saw, once this man asks for campaign money.. Diasporans will over donate. I see 1BN in 1 week.

The National anthem never felt soo good.. it was like a worship Song.
We in diaspora see things quite differently and are dangerous.. we have seen and tasted good governance. We have tasted different forms of discrimination because of our place of origin and are hell bent to change thing back home.

You may ask, are we going to vote? The answer is we will fund the struggle. Endsars was a pilot test!! Na money be election.. we have the money and will influence the polity.

I twitted the event and have over 100k impressions on some of the tweets already. People asked me to go live. Obidients everywhere!

A quick question, can other candidates pull such crowd in Germany in just two days? Will people drive 5 hours to listen to them? Peter Challenged use to do the same for other candidates and see the response. Can your candidate even stand for 4 hours answering questions? Will 10 people who were not paid to attend leave work to show up?

We even paid an entrance fee of 20 Euro.Na we pay to see our man, others dey pay people to go see their man. We no complain �� no be juju be that?

There is a writing on the wall!! Read it well. This man is a Man of Issachar!! He knows the times and what Nigerians ought to do!!
