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.
Orji Kalu that have been wearing babariga up and down, jettisoned PDP for APC, collected titles from almost all northern Emirates including Daura, I hope you guys will crown him president?

Politics is a game of deceit. That's what the OP is saying. Even terrorist Buhari goes to the East in Igbo attires, sometimes looking miserable in them.

But this visit is just to the delegates, during general campaign, I'm sure Igbos will play the game.

Yes, we can. Presidency must come to the South. It doesn't matter whether is Igbo, Ijaw, Itshekiri or Yoruba. Presidency must come to the South in 2023

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.

Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, until you get to power, your intentions are just intention
u n op get sense

Just imagine wearing suit to aboki campaign,u have to give them a sense of belonging if u want their votes.

Make them feel u are part of them,u understand them,u can relate with them n u know what they go through.

Many igbos don't really understand politics especially Peter obi supporters,they insult u when u bring forward your suggestion no matter how good it is.

What you and the Op are saying in essence is that a wolf in sheep's clothing stands a better chance in becoming Nigeria president than someone who shows his real self?

How can we progress as a nation if continue thinking this way?

People sign deals/contracts wearing sleeveless cloths and shorts in other countries but in Nigeria you must combine the dress of two traditional rulers and four bank managers while going for ordinary job interview that the salary won't be more than 30k.

In the build up of 2015 election, Buhari traveled to South eats dressed in Igbo traditional attire and even took a title, what happened after the election? How are Nigerians fairing under him?

Are you guys not tired?


Why are you and the OP focused on what Peter Obi wants instead of what Nigerians want? Obi wants to be president, Nigerians want someone who can bring them out of their present condition and set them on the path of continuous growth.

Is Obi that man? I don't know but if he is then why should the way he is dressed matter?

We're Igbos... We bow to no one else but GOD. It is what it is

Asking me to bow to your traditional rulers means forcing me to accept your culture. Who does that?

To be fair, I don't think all the leaders you have had since 1999 were destined by God to be president.

The state of the country does not show any sign that it has been led by anybody that was destined to be president.
Re: This Picture Shows Why South East Is Politically Naive by CSTRR: 8:23am On May 09, 2022
Peter obi is a new breed of politician.

He is not here to bamboozle you.
That is why I support him. I don't support nonsense because of popularity.


If at this stage of the North, it is clothes that is their priority, then they should get leaders that prioritize such nonsense and live with the consequences.

Besides, this is just a consultation phase for the delegates,and they already know who he is.

It's not campaign season yet to start wearing agbada, frying akara and drinking Milo up and down.

He has not gotten the party nomination.

Sharing a country with people like you that reason primitively is the very reason Nigeria is backward. Wearing dress to win election is the assessment to know who qualifies to win elections in Nigeria. Who did this to Nigeria?

You may be Igbo, but you are not the same quality of human like Peter obi.

He went to pay homage to Tafawa Balewa's tomb in bauchi yesterday.
Peter obi would gladly bow to any traditional ruler in the North.

That is respect, which is the sign of a cultured human being.

USE YOUR HEAD FOR ONCE.

Orji Kalu has a record of corruption. So his wearing barbariga would have limited effect on the electorate. Obi has a record of achievement, so wearing Babariga would add to his appeal and aura in the north, among deeply religious and ethnocentric voters. In politics every vote counts.

Tufia. Mumu people. See how we're schooling you like toddlers in politics.

So senator is not "singlet" abi? This man is showing you he's not a sychophant. He's not going to change his life style or standards because he's vying for a seat. Nigerians really have to change their mindset! Always so concerned about the packaging, leaving the content.
