Its obvious. Tinubu is running for APC the same party of Buhari the puppet and the reason Nigeria is in the mess it is today. He also is the suspect of criminal activity investigations regards to drug peddling and known to have unethical money grabbing practices along side his wife who is renown for trying to tax what she doesnt own. In other words why would a reasonable person vote the spitting image of the ruling political class into power.
If that should be the case, Obi's supporters first need to apologise to Nigerians for lying to them to vote for Pdp in 2019 when they knew the Atiku they are now attacking is not capable to lead this country.

Were you one of Tinubu's errand boy when he was doing the drug business? Cos you are sounding like an insider

Are the market women from where you come from not paying royalty to the chiefs around, can you list all the precise place in Lagos where Remi Tinubu is collecting Tax?

There is no reasonable Nigerian that does not know Peter Obi stand out as a true decent and corrupt free politician to take Nigeria out of the woods. Its only selfish Nigerians that are currently benefiting from this decadence in Nigerian today that wont understand why Obi is the best for Nigeria come 2023. Anyone who truly love progress and wish Nigeria well will definitely support Obi. You can see such love and acceptance across the entire country for Peter Obi without collecting shishi.

Lets say you decided Obi is not competent,
Get out of your emotions and define competence
In this case ability to win

Not to govern

You can't govern if you don't win first
Obi not competent To win


you cannot tell me that 2 confirmed super criminals whom are also incompetent are a better choice.
No vacuum in nature

We have 3 choices
1 is just there to fill in the gaps

You end up with two others(abi you get anoda candidate for back pocket we don't know about?)

Ergo those (two super criminals) are the default choices we have as at today time T

I am just being realistic and picking the super thief that will pay us in the long run

Better for a tinubu who will die before 8 yrs so we can cycle the monsters faster

Got news for you
That's how people vote

Either take that into consideration or continue banging your head on a drum

You can tell me when "Ibo ppl started the racism" I will give you an older example against Igbo people.
Nzeogwu
Please give me the older example
This will be interesting

Thats not how rational people think. Do blame game from now to thy kingdom come, it is useless.
more news for you.
Most people are not rational, that's why only land owners were allowed to Vote back in the day as most humans too emotional to vote logically


But it is what it is now

Either play the game or stfu and spectate

I am sorry Eniitan, no he isn't wanted he, is just a high level criminal. Are you happy now?
Yes pick Tinubu a true representation of Nigerian elitism, godfatherism and corruption.
Go ahead.
That’s a figment of your imagination. You don’t have evidence to prove your assertion. It’s just mere name calling. You are not different from a groundnut seller on the street who goes about with rumour mongering. He was arraigned several times at CCT and was discharged even under PDP government. I want you to swear that Amadioha should destroy you and your family if you are telling lies against Tinubu. That’s when I will believe you.

Dont worry I have accepted that you are correct. Tinubu is a very innocent person and he truly isnt one of the many stooges sucking Nigeria dry. Pick him. You think I will ego rub with you?

Nzeogwu is an example? You are fooling yourself. How is a coup representative of racism or tribalism? It is just that a coup. Btw I hope you arent one of those that says Igbo people are only in the SE but Nzeogwu is used against us.

Regardless, dont say the name Nzeogwu, explain what he did that was racist or tribalist.

You just admitted that you are here to play a game. Well done. Play the game to your own detriment. That has been my point the entire time. You think you said something eye opening?

I know its your choice. I still tell you if you pick any of the other two, you are short-sighted. This isnt an opinion, its a fact. Nigerians normal reasoning for everyone other sane country is the epitome of backwardness.

Disclaimer: Before people twist this comment as an insult. I will give it some padding. I mean Nigerians often know that their reasoning is very flawed but they have so many other people around them with the same mindset whether against them or for them that they thinking its fine to fight for ego and not for truth.
name one thing Peter obi did better than tinubu as governor?

Lets get this entirely straight, being the governor of Lagos is not the same as being governor anywhere else in Nigeria. Similar to Rivers State. You have a lot more resources on your hands. Lagos literally was colonised from 1854 and was heavily under European influence for much longer. Modern day SE was colonised in 1914. Lagos was the capital of Nigeria at some point. Lagos has the only decent sea port. Peter Obi's tenure in Anambra from the running of government institutions, to the handling of finance, to the increase in Anambra, to the reduction of corrupted systems was the better governor than tinubu who did little for the resources available to him in Lagos. I am not biased. Tinubu's team isn't incompetent. They are greedy. Regardless of Tinubu himself who isnt properly schooled, his people have ability. Fortunately we aren't voting teams but individuals. And in regards to governing a country, a good team with a bad individual just results in better calculated corruption.

Yes I mean that. Unless you mean to tell me that I was wrong. Because I wasnt. Objective comparison only would work if they governed the same state. Or similar states.
