An Oyo woman living in Aba has just arrived from the East after fleeing insecurity there

Do you even know how many Northerners have been murdered there?


No Igbo can compete with the Northerners in the Cattle Business

Igbis have been killed in their numbers in the North for either religious crisis or post election violence.

Ritchiee:
Outsmart me in petty trading?
You are a clown.
All what Igbos are known for is petty trading.
Yorubas generally control the economy of Nigeria,sir.

Mumu.
Then why are you angry if they do only petty trading.
Keep deceiving yourself.

LeoDeKing:
Obinna, tell us why there are less Musa and Olufemi in the South East than Emeka in SW and the North. Is the SE not supposed to be overpopulated because of the "commercial city" and the "conduciveness" by other ethnicities? How come reverse is the case and you are typing useless bulcrap of "they can't compete"?

That is the question. Obinna, answer this and stop typing what you were not asked. Talking about billionaire, is there any state without indigenous billionaires while doing businesses in their respective states?

Have you been to South East?

Naajjii:
Then stop wailing when we don't give you Presidency that matters, Atiku will continue from Buhari inshaallah. You will wail tire.

So you are the one that give presidency and you failed to give it to Buhari since 2003-2015.
Deluded little mug.

LeoDeKing:
Why are there more Emeka in North and south west than there are combined Musa and Olufemi in South East to enjoy this "commercial city"?

That is the question, not that useless bulcrap you typed up here. And please, drop that dogshit of "they can't compete", it will be preferable you use "the environment is not conducive" for them. A business friendly environment will attracts legitimate hustlers and South East can never be described as such.

You are empty.
If Nnewi market alone has produced many Igbo billionaires, then you must have a strange concept of the word "conducive".
These guys thrive in their region and still come to your land to outsmart you.
Show them respect instead of hatred and envy.

triple996:
But Northerners and westerners don't have that same constitutional right to contest in d east? NA beheading straight if u no b osu.

Nobody stopped you from contesting. Go and try your luck instead of sitting in Ogbomoso and imagining things.

triple996:
U will never see dem contest in their beloved biafra

Are you the one contesting for political offices in South East?

LeoDeKing:
But why are Musa and Olufemi not living in South East? Is it that South East is barren and unproductive?

They cannot compete.
If South east is barren and unproductive as you claimed:
1. Anambra will not have the largest automobile market in Africa?
2. Aba will not be commercial city speciliazed in garments and shoe making. Other African countries come for business.
3. Enugu will not house the largest brewery in Africa and one of the most modern brewery in the world, Ama brewery
4. We will not have millions of Igbos living in South East and earning good living.
Among others.

BOLATINUBU01:
you be fool

You are the big fool here o.
Who are you to tell Obi what to do in the church?

Even ordinary me can climb the podium during church service to make announcements.

NoIgboSoundTueh:
If we talk now they will say we're Igbo-phobic.
How many Musa or Olufemi is contesting in Southeast

Because, you live all your life in your father's house.
How many Musa or Olufemi are living in South East?

NoIgboSoundTueh:
Peter Obi is not yet in power igbos have cornered all the position to themselves

Rubbish! It is his constitutional right to contest under any party platform.
Do you reject their tax and call it Igbo tax.
The huge IGR you boast of comes from which tribe?

Arkmanbuddy:
If he's drunk, then you're stupid! Where did you get your stats of Igbos making up 40% of Abuja residents? You should've known that the OP meant minority politically not in population. You guys just make up stats from your bedrooms.

Are you okay?

What is your idea of political minority?

A lot of kids on nairaland.
Seun, please consider age, educational qualifications or business accomplishment before granting access to people.
Too many kids these days.

I don't waste my time on deluded little mugs like you. El-Rufai has the following to tell you:

mushroomFarm:
Your opinions are welcome. Kindly attach references to your claims please. We are all hoping Obi could pull this stunt, I am beginning to like him after the endorsement but here you are...
.
.
Minority or no minority, remember the last time that region produced a president

You are right in your assertion to the fact that Nigeria has not had a president from Igbo extraction. However, no single tribe can produce a president whether major or minor.
Remember that Buhari tried many times and failed.

Tallesty1:
Minority region?



Are you high?

The guy is surely drunk.

Igbos are not just the five South Eastern States.

The Igbos in other states in Nigeria and diaspora can form additional five states.
Igbos in Lagos alone is more than Bayelsa's population.
Over 40% of people in Abuja are Igbos.

CoronaVirusRelo:
Don’t follow all this silly propaganda!

I can authoritatively tell you that coming election will be the fairest and most peaceful. Their is no competition in the coming election, only loud noises we have.

Nothing is stopping Asiwaju! It’s a bold reality all can see if they choose to ignore their emotions, and face reality squarely.

2023 election was concluded the day Asiwaju emerged as APC flag bearer

These guys really think Buhari will manipulate the election in their favour.
If not, where will Tinubu get his votes?
I deh laugh!

baretalk:
Obasanjo is supporting Obi simply because he knows Obi is the only candidate he can control. He is not doing it for the love of Nigerians or Nigeria, he is putting forward his interest.

Obasanjo and Atiku are not in good terms like they were when he supported him in 2019, and he knows he can't control Tinubu, he supports Obi because Obi will be his stooge. We don't want a president controlled by others.

Rubbish!

PRESS STATEMENT


OBASANJO'S ENDORSEMENT OF MR. PETER OBI IS WORTHLESS

We read with amusement the endorsement of Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party Presidential Candidate by former President Olusegun Obasanjo in his New Year message on Sunday.

Following calls by journalists from various media houses who asked for our reaction we decided to make this preliminary statement, though we didn't consider the so-called endorsement to be of any value.

We respect the democratic right of former President Obasanjo to support and endorse any candidate of his choice in any election.

Except that he made it known formally in his new year message, any discerning political watcher in Nigeria knows that Chief Obasanjo’s preference for Peter Obi is expected. He had earlier stated his position at various public events, the last being at the 70th birthday anniversary of Chief John Nwodo, former President of Ohaneze Ndigbo in Enugu.

We make bold to say that our party and candidate, Asíwájú Bola Ahmed Tinubu will not lose sleep over Obasanjo’s move, as Obasanjo is notorious for always opposing progressive political forces, as he did against MKO Abiola in 1993.

The endorsement is actually worthless because the former President does not possess any political goodwill or leverage anywhere in Nigeria to make anyone win a Councillorship election let alone win a Presidential election. He is a political paperweight.

He is also not a democrat anyone should be proud to be associated with.

We recall that in 2003 and 2007 general elections when he was a sitting President, Obasanjo used all the coercive instruments of State at his disposal to railroad people into elective offices against the will of Nigerians as expressed at the polls. In 2007, he declared the polls a do or die affair after he failed in his bid to amend our constitution to have a third term.

From our records, President Obasanjo has not successfully made anyone win election in Nigeria since then.

Not even in Ogun State can anyone rely on his support or endorsement to become a governor or Councillor.

We pity Peter Gregory Obi as we are confident that Chief Obasanjo can not win his polling unit and ward in Abeokuta for Obi in the coming Presidential election on 25 February, 2023.

Chief Obasanjo's endorsement is not a political currency Mr. Peter Obi can spend anywhere in Nigeria because he is not a political force, even in his part of the country.

Chief Obasanjo similarly endorsed Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Peoples Democratic Party candidate in 2019 against President Muhammadu Buhari. Atiku was walloped by Buhari with a wide margin in the election.

History will repeat itself in February as our candidate Asíwájú Bola Ahmed Tinubu will equally beat Obi by a large margin.

We take a particular notice of the part of the endorsement statement where Chief Obasanjo said none of the presidential candidates is a Saint.

We want to state here that Chief Obasanjo is not a good judge of character. He is a man who considers only himself as the all-knowing Saint in Nigeria.

Over the years, Chief Obasanjo has also convinced himself that integrity, honesty and all good virtues begin and end with him.

Everything is worthless for Tinubu supporters. When Obi wins next month, they will tell you that presidency/Obi's victory is worthless.

Zombiedients:
I say Asiwaju The Only Jagaban of Africa will be Nigeria President

He won't just win the election, Asiwaju is going to win massively and convincingly.

If you are sure of your chosen candidate, be it Obi or Atiku

Let us place a bet.

#500,000 Cash ...... I can go all the way to #1,000.000 if you get the mind.

Here is the deal

We select A TRUST WORTHY MOD TO HOLD THE MONEY.

I deposit mine in any account he provides

You deposit yours in the same account.

THE WINNER TAKE IT ALL

Nonsense! You should be betting that you are sure Tinubu will win.
So if you are 100% sure that Tinubu will win, let's go for 1.5m.

Agbegbaorogboye:
Lol. Yet you claim I'm the novice
Where's the video of the interview
Besides, who exactly are the G-5 looking to surprise if they have a deal with Tinubu?

The thing tire me. The way these guys reason baffles me tremendously.

Radiant01:
That means tinubu meet with G5 governor in london. Tinubu and wike are denying this just to close their game to the chest,so it will be a massive blow for atiku.
Remember when Obasanjo met them in London with obi they took pictures, when atiku met them they took pictures too but when Tinubu met them they didn't took pictures,they just do that low-key even that time Tinubu group initially deny of anything meeting before ortom disclose that they also met with Tinubu that time.

Rubbish !

PandoraObi:
From all indication, the political bitters and hatred that preceded the biafra war of 1967 to 1970 is showing now, most supporters of Peter Obi see him as God, lord and savior that cannot be touched , they vituperate and vilify anyone that doesn't support their lord and savior, they crucify anyone that speak contrary to their lord.

Reno omokri little baby was threatened by some miscreant because of her father's campaign for Atiku, Unknown known ESN gunmen attacked soludo's hometown for speaking against Peter Obi's investment, his family members were molested and threatened, one of the "bishops" in Abuja that attended the unveiling of Shettima was nearly lynched for his political opinion in a market populated by Peter Obi tribe. The handwriting is on the wall, the bad omen is glaring. prevention is better than cure.

Get ready to kill yourself because he is the next president.

CoronaVirusRelo:
Comedians!

One can deduct major reasons why Nigeria has been backward. People ignore reality and start hoping for the impossible.

Same people will be praying for impossibilities and later complain about God not answering their prayers.

Can’t you be real with yourself for once.

You want to use a No class party to overthrow A ruling party with strong reach nationwide.

Nigerians need to reevaluate their beliefs and approach to situation!

You just don’t wake-up from bed and start vying for presidency! God does not do such miracle. You have to show your will and put-in the work required. Not driving a Toyota Corolla and believing God will make you outpace a BMW Z4

You reason like a cow.
February is not far . You will soon cover your face with shame.

Pakute:
The deal is done already, nothing secret about it anyway. Their support for Tinubu would be announced officially in a few days when the G-5 address a press conference.

Keep deceiving yourself.

Helgreenluv:
Sorry no kill yourself for nothing. This is fake news. Go to channels TV website or their YouTube channel and see if you will find anything like this there. This particular video was for something but a smart guy on Facebook decided to fool gullible people like you. Shame on you.
The G-5 Governors are still in London. Do a Google search about what you posted as wike's comment so you can get the greatest disappointment of your life

BREAKING NEWS...

"WE HAVE A DEAL WITH APC..." GOV. WIKE.

"I have instructed my colleagues in the G-5, the only party that can win the 2023 Presidency is All Progressives Congress APC, and we must do everything possible to approach the Southern Nigeria Leadership of the party under my immediate past successor and boss, His Excellency Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, and the Deputy Senate President, His Excellency Rt. Hon. Ovie Omo-Agege, to fine-tune all arrangements for that.

We have met with the APC Presidential Candidate, Ahmed Bola Tinubu. He directed that we officially defect from the PDP to APC, which is a very impossible idea at the moment since some of my colleagues are having PDP Tickets. I personally told Tinubu to allow us stay in PDP and do the job, and after 2023 victory, I will collapse every remnant of PDP under my faction in Nigeria, beginning with Rivers State.

On my Governorship Candidate Sim Fubara, all I have to say is, let APC win the Presidency and National Assembly first, that should be our priority as Rivers people for now.

As to the rumour that we have endorsed Labour Party Candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, you should understand that we are talking about Presidency of Nigeria, not Traders' Union nor Anambra Governorship election here..."

Excerpts from Gov. Nyesom Wike's address to BBC Africa in London, 28th December, 2022, after the G-5 Meeting With APC Presidential Candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Mad man!

I don't just understand this Wike ooo.

Wike didn't say anything.

Mr man Ganduje won both kano north and kano south in 2019, kano Central was won by Abba kabir. KANO Central is highly populated that is why he pulled that much votes

This is 2022!
Get sense, you no gree

jumper524:
seyi makinde you think would support peter obi? Well I know how much you enjoy delusion. These 5 governors, tell me which of them supported APC in 2019? None, not even the ex presidents supported APC but we still flogged you guys trash.
Now they support a lite wing of the pdp. Whose detriment is it to? With their support, APC not sure of winning any southeast or southsouth states. It'll be a blessing if they support pdp lite.

Mugu!
Buhari is not on Ballot.
Don't expect the North to vote for Tinubu the way they voted Buhari.

https://www.firs.gov.ng/tax-statistics-report/

Tax figures per region is in that table

Not only do we pay more tax, we also have Oil and Gas

Fool!
The tax you boast of is contributed by non-indigenes.
That is why States Osun and Ekiti with majority yorubas cannot generate enough revenue compared to Lagos and Ogun.
Same thing is happening in the North. 95% of IGR comes from non-indigenes.
