Peter Obi Campaigns in Maiduguri

THIS MAN NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO PAY FEDERAL POLITICS IF HE WANTS TO BE NIGERIAN PRESIDENT.

HE SHOULD GO AND LOOK FOR BABARIGA TO WEAR IF HE'S GOING TO MAIDUGURI TO CAMPAIGN, NOT THAT SINGLET HE'S WEARING.

CAMPAIGNING IS ABOUT WINNING THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF THE MASSES. IDENTIFYING WITH THEM ETC.

YOU DO WHATEVER YOU CAN TO ENDEAR YOURSELF TO THEM.

MAKE THEM SEE YOU AS ONE OF THEM, AND SOMEONE WHO CAN WORK FOR THEM.

TOMORROW WHEN TINUBU OR OSINBAJO GO THERE DRESSED LIKE FULANIS, AND THEY WIN, YOU WILL CRY MARGINALISATION.

You lack basic common sense.

Does Peter Obi want to acquire power or not?

If he does, then he MUST do what other politicians do to endear themselves to the constituencies.

If you and him are too arrogant to do that, then go to hell and quit disturbing us for the Presidency.

Is that what you really want? Una dey make person laugh abeg.

Peter Obi doesn't want to acquire power for d sake of acquisition.

Use your brain. George W Bush speaks awful Spanish. But when he campaigned in territories with large Hispanic populations, he spoke in Spanish to his audiences, to squeals of delight. He won the presidency by capturing many of those votes, that could have otherwise gone to the Democrats.

Obama did something similar, as did Al Gore.

All over the world, politicians play the game of inclusiveness.

Except in South East Nigeria where you all apparently know more than us lesser beings.

Keep being dumb.
Re: This Picture Shows Why South East Is Politically Naive by Niorte: 5:40am On May 09, 2022
OP, I get your point perfectly.

The problem with many Igbos, not all, is ARROGANCE.

They always have a way to justify their action even when it insults others tradition. I observe this at my NYSC camp back in the days. All corps members were asked to bow to greet the traditional rulers but many corps from Igbo refuse claiming he is not their gods... meanwhile it is just a sign of respect in the Yoruba land.


Back to the topic, if you can't identify with a people, it can be misinterpreted as forcing your tradition on them.


If you want to win votes, do all the strategy to win votes. Your intention is not important as your action.


Insisting on your method will make you fail woefully, Humans are emotional.

If you don't trigger the emotional part, they won't vote for you. You win with emotion, not logic.

I learnt this in digital marketing under story-telling to story-selling and it has helped my business.

In that Region all of them are the same. That's why Igbo will never rule this Country.

Wike that triggered the emotional part by wearing babaringa to Kano was told outrightly by Ganduje that he will never win. We ain’t go nowhere sir if it’s a norm to buy the people’s mind with just clothing.

You are an intelligent man.

Like you said, getting people to vote is based on triggering their emotions, just like advertisers do when they make their adverts.

Every marketer knows that you don't sell the product details. You sell the flashy benefits of the product, which endears the customer, triggers their emotions, and makes them buy.

Same thing in politics.

Stop reasoning like a twit.

What has Ganduje got to do with you as a politician, doing what YOU have to do to win the public's minds?

Why are you giving so much power to Ganduje?

Go in there and win hearts and minds of the people, and there is nothing Ganduje or anyone can do to deny you power.

STOP REASONING LIKE LOSERS.

If Europeans shake hands with Nigeria traditional rulers, what will you call that? Disrespect!! Or civilization?
What is respect? In yoruba land, respect is hypocrisy at time. Oyo do bale inu e loso. Nitori e je agbalagba ni mo ba so pe ori yin ko pe.

Obj disguised with clothes to become President. Yarada, GEJ and Buhari also disguised by wearing different traditional attires to become President.

I think Obi is just being true to himself.
Yes, igbos may be blunt and proud in nature. They are not as bad as you think. I have worked some of them.

That I didn't bow to your king doesn't mean I can't respect him as an Elder and a king too. Sometimes we also now to greet our Elders but not like the Yorubas.
As for Peter Obi, I guess he went for consultations or something like that and not really for campaigns. When the time comes , he will dress in babariga and that other Yoruba cloth. Peace
I remember when we visited Emir of Ilorin in his Palace. I bowed like normal, he looked at me and asked if I was Igbo , I said Yes and he just smiled. I asked my friend how the man noticed, my friend said hdlfjeismskjfkejd... But after everything we were all fine...

which will make him behave like other politicians when he gets there too. All Peter Obi has been doing is telling us that he is not like other politicians and that is exactly what we need. We know where the usual politicians have led us to, Peter Obi is not your usual politician.
