Anthony m Okeke also known as Faith S H is a notorious scammer on nairaland. He has been busted on several occasions.

Below is how anthony M okeke, the scammer operates

-He will create an account early in the morning with a pitiable moniker like SolicitHelp, praygrace, blessings etc

-He will then target interesting topics that may likely hit front page and drop a good comment that will get him so many likes and shares.

-In the night around 8pm to 10pm, he will change his gender to female to gather pity and edit the post he made in the morning with a pitiable story of how he is suffering from septicemia. He will alter the spelling of septicemia by adding either r, c or h so that one cannot search and find him using the search bar

-The idea behind editing these posts in the night is that even if you find and report by this time, the post will not be deleted since the mods must have closed for the day

-His targets are those that come to nairaland in the night.

-The next day, the previous posts are deleted and he creates another account

- The cycle continues

I don’t blame PDP, it’s a good political calculation.

They have the SE/SS in the bag already irrespective of the status quo, and do not have a strong SW candidate.

I think the best card they had is Atiku. Atiku will conveniently win SS/SE, and still share in SW.

Can't you see he has started singing again now that APC has been giving him a full plate of rice with some chicken thighs?

FFK is now in APC but still has his leg in PDP just incase his guy becomes the president, then he can port back again to PDP.

The question is this, when will Nigerians wake up and smell the coffee?

One thing is certain.
Power remains in North. Am out for whosoever that want to bet it.
The northern are good in permutations. Instead, they would settle southern with party, that's APC by fielding Tinubu to be flag bearer. Mind you, if vp can do as Aminu does, it will be a smoothing ground for Tinubu. However, northern elders will prefer a secret meetings with Atiku, where agreements will reach. I foresee S.E. n S.S being marginalized as Atiku may like choose a running mate from S.w. settling the southern with party is not the same as southern emerging as the winner of 2023 election.

With the emergence of a northerner as its presidential candidate, I wonder how Afenifere, PANDEM, Ohaeneze Ndigbo, the Middle Belt Forum and the Southern and Middle Belt Leaders Forum now feel about their favoured child known as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)?

The virulent and avowed opposition that these august and highly respected bodies had against a northern presidential candidate has been overuled by their party. Their call for an Igbo presidential candidate has been ignored and treated with contempt and disdain. Their preferred party is fielding a northerner and there is nothing they can do about it. They have been misled, fooled and scammed and they have no influence or power over the affairs of their favoured party.

Despite their revered age, wealth of knowledge, profound insight and depth of wisdom, their PDP has tossed their collective counsel into the dustbin. Permit me to welcome them to the world of ‘real politik’ and I advise that they stop allowing themselves to be so easily manipulated and deceived.

Politics is a game of numbers where words and the knowledge of history alone count for little and where only insight, passion, a firm resolve and a large war chest coupled with the ability to conspire and the courage to build bridges even with past adversaries and former foes are the keys to success.

In this game, like the words of Shakespeare’s witches in his famous play ‘Macbeth’, “fair is foul and foul is fair: hover through the fog and filthy air!”

It is a strange and difficult game filled with intrigue, betrayal and treachery. It is murky, it is foggy, it is dark, it is treacherous, it is full of intrigue and mystery and nothing is as it seems or appears.

They thought their PDP would produce a southern candidate even if the APC failed to do so but now they know that the trust they bestowed on their arrant yet favoured child was misplaced. This was a shocker to them. And let me assure them that more shockers and surprises are coming.

I believe it is time that they start thinking differently and adopting a new approach in order to achieve their noble objectives of a fair, equitable and just Nigeria in which we are all equals regardless of ethnicity or faith.

Constantly supporting and relying on the PDP and hoping they will come to power to do something new, fix the problems and provide the solutions is an ill-placed illusion and dangerous delusion. It simply cannot work. I advise them to have a rethink and to realign.

In doing so they may well make a difference and achieve their noble objectives. Now permit me to get to the meat of this essay.

It is interesting to note and quite an irony that the ruling All Peoples Congress (APC), a party that the opposition PDP has wrongly labelled as a bunch of northern irredentists and hegemonists, are now the ones that could possibly provide a southerner as their flag bearer.

Conversely, the PDP, the party that has always claimed to champion the precepts of equity, justice and southern rights and that has always prided itself on its strong southern base, has opted to give its presidential flag to a northerner.

They turned their backs on the people of the south-east who have given them more support than any other ethnic nationality in the country over the last 23 years.

They spurned the people of the Middle Belt who saw in them a hope of salvation and emancipation. They rejected the people of the south-south whose sons and daughters stood firmly behind them through thick and thin.

Finally, they displayed their usual and utter contempt for the people of the south-west who they have always regarded as nothing but the biblical “hewers of the wood and the drawers of the water” and the poor relatives of the party ever since President Olusegun Obasanjo left power in 2007.

Worse still they gave their ticket to a man who is the best of friends with Sheik Ahmad Gumi, the defender-in-chief of the terrorists of the north-west, they gave it to a man who withdrew a public condemnation of the savage lynching of Miss Deborah Emmanuel in Sokoto and they gave it to a man that refused to condemn the brutal slaughter of a pregnant Fulani lady and her four children in Anambra.

They gave their ticket to a man that lost the 2019 election and promptly left the country for three long years for beautiful Dubai, abandoning all his followers and supporters to weather the Nigerian storm and waters. How this man can sleep at night I really don’t know!

They gave their ticket to a man who is soft on the terrorists that are butchering the people of the north-west and north-east and who has offered no solution to the plague of unknown gunmen and terrorists that are slaughtering people in the south-east.

Is this a party that can be trusted with power? Have they not become the very monster that they once claimed to seek to oppose and destroy? Have the tables not turned? Has the party not been taken over by faceless hardliners with a hidden agenda? Can the people of the south-west, south-east, south-south, north-central or even north-west and north-east trust Atiku with power? I have my doubts.

The truth is that the PDP has been high-jacked by a dangerous cabal who have utter contempt for anyone and everyone that is not part of their inner circle. Many ask, who are those in this cabal? Who are those that now control the PDP and that ensured that Nyesom Wike was defeated and Atiku emerged?

The same forces ensured the emergence of Atiku at the Port Harcourt Convention in 2018 by whispering his name at the last minute to the relevant stakeholders and they have done it again in 2022.

How can a serious political party not afford Ayo Fayose and Dele Momodu at least one vote each at its presidential primaries simply because they refused to bribe the delegates? How can they lose Rabiu Kwankwaso, Peter Obi and Enyinnaya Abaribe to other smaller and totally inconsequential parties just before their convention? How can they deny Pius Anyim the presidential ticket? How can they not encourage Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, who is the best of them and the brightest star in the south-east, to run for the nomination?

How can they reduce Emmanuel Udom to 13 votes, Bala Mohammed to 20 votes and Bukola Saraki to 70votes and how can they deal such a ruthless death blow to the aspirations of Nyesom Wike who struggled so hard to bring the presidential ticket to the south? Had it not been for Aminu Tambuwal’s decision to back Atiku at the last minute, Wike would have won with flying colours. And look at their convention itself? Was it not a show of shame where the highest bidder simply took the prize? Were the activities not worse than those in an 18th-century Parisian LovePeddler house where money was exchanged for services rendered?

This was not an election but a shameless gathering of corrupt souls in which the dollar determined the outcome at the behest of its providers. The delegates were bought and their price was on open display. It was a shameful dollarfest in which honour, decency, politics, merit and seriousness had no place. It was a jamboree of spending and an act of open worship to Mammon, the god of money.

A candidate that emerges from such a gathering and as a consequence of the invocation of such dark and bestial forces and powers cannot be expected to do any good.

If there was any reason for INEC to nullify a party convention this particular one provided it.

Put together, the PDP convention was worse than an Arab carpet bazaar and an Indian brothel all rolled into one. It stank to high heavens and it resulted in a shameless mess which lacked any pretence to legitimacy. The truth is that there really is something defective about the thought processes and reasoning of the PDP. Time will prove that.

Interestingly there are many in the ruling APC who have expressed a strong preference for a southern presidential candidate for 2023 and most of them are from the north. Would it not be a remarkable thing if President Muhammadu Buhari, the man many in the south have constantly viewed with suspicion and scepticism and who many have wrongly labelled as an ethnic warlord and religious bigot, was the one that gave the south what they wanted?

And make no mistake about it, this decision is Buhari’s and his alone. He alone will most likely determine who APC will field and where that person comes from. If he chooses to stop any presidential aspirant from emerging even at this late stage he can do so, no matter how popular, rich and powerful that aspirant may be.

Just one phone call from him to the relevant stakeholders can achieve that. He can also endorse the weakest and most unlikely contender even at the last minute and that person will emerge. Such is the respect, trust and affection that the leaders and members of the party at every level have for him.

As they say, he has the “yam and the knife” and he can determine what will happen or choose to sit back and allow all the aspirants to slug it out until the best man wins. I am on record as saying that the three zones that ought to be considered for the nomination before others are the south-east, north-central and north-east and I stand by that.

Compared to the south-west, north-west and south-south, none of them has had a fair crack of the whip when it comes to democratically-elected presidents and they all deserve to have their chance.

They are not slaves and they need to be encouraged, given a sense of purpose and carried along. I maintain this position even if I am the only one that refuses to hedge my bets and say so publicly.

I also maintain that it would be easier for a northerner to defeat Atiku but, if truth be told, it would also be a reflection of the courage and sense of fairness of the president and the APC, even if it means risking the 2023 election, it is better to do the right and proper thing, assuage the fears and worries of the south, honour past commitments and allow a southerner to take over.

This alone will make Buhari a hero above all else. This alone will give Nigeria a new lease of life and will restore and strengthen north/south relations.

This alone will assuage the feelings and heal the wounds of those that live in perpetual fear of northern hegemony and domination and quench the awesome fire of the militants and separatists that thrive in the south-east, south-west and south-south. This alone will send a strong signal to Boko Haram, ISWAP, the killer herdsmen and the foreign terrorists that they have failed to destroy our fragile unity and divide us.

This alone will be a legacy that will speak for our president and our party into eternity. The question, therefore, is whether we do the right thing by giving the ticket to the south or do the politically expedient thing by giving it to the north.

That choice will be made at the APC convention in a few days. Let us wait and see.
