Atleast every one is free to exaggerate while we get the main points. You guys are really after Peter Obi, try harder. I am beginning to like Obi seeing how harder you guys are trying to tarnish his image.

Yes they are after Obi while you and your family are after Tinubu and so what is strange about that

Verdict: Peter Obi lied

You are dumb. Obi's statement is called alternative facts. That's an expression not made literally. Besides, do you know how many if them that have ties to Nigeria?

Go and clap for your Agbado. Ewu

No wonder he said he went to study Egypt electricity within 3days

What professors of engineering study for years is what a 3rd class graduate of philosophy wants to study in 3days

It’s obvious this guy is just throwing figures around to impress his ignorant fans just like nnamdi kanu
May leprosy chop your fingers, may maggots come out of your hands and consume your body you this poverty ridden urchin, never in your life mention me again. You dare attack Obi but your ancestor of a presidential candidate of agbado and cassava world hasn't come out for just 5mins of an interview. You are a demon on nairaland and get thee behind me, you are amongst those who want the country to burn and may what has befallen your APC evil party befall you and other 30k paid urchins.

You eventually said nothing..you could have used the opourtunity to market your preferred candidate. The facts i pointed out are verifiable.. go check.. you should know peter os actually being economical with his figures, Nigeria for one has no verifiable figures and the situation is much worse than he even states in figures..
u are simply an Obidient
U believe anything from your candidate no matter how off point it is
Accept he made mistake n move on,he’s human so he’s prone to make mistakes

Accept this is a mistake n let people forget about it

Trying to cover it up is annoying n an insult n the more people will dig more up

The main reason y only peter obi is facing tough criticism among other aspirants is his angelic approach to electorates

Everyone knows every politician is a thief n they have stolen in one way or the other but this guy is forming angel,if he came out like everyone he won’t b having this problem

A simple google search would show you in the 2020 NBA draft of the world, Nigeria had a whooping record breaking 8 draft, 5 in 2017 That is the fact Obi was pointing out. He was clamouring on the zeal of the youths and brain drain currently happening.

Now, Has your candidate shown anything of concern about Nigeria other than corn and cassava.. infact, he said the FX is not his problem as long as salaries are paid in naira.. its horrible knowing some persons fight really hard to destroy their future. It quite unfortunate that our futures are intertwined with these lots through a common leader.

On a serious note, Obi seems to use statistical analysis most of the time to buttress his points. Whether wrong or not, I think he shows he reads for once and data analysis is a tool for decision making. Having said that, I'm still not yet convinced if I should cast my vote for him but the remaining candidates are not even better either. It's my opinion please. State your own and stick to it rather than coming to my mention and begin to raise dust and causes. Besides none of them knows either me or your existence.

Peter Obi is a professional lair .. for every statement he makes .. 95% of it Na lies

A man that has no legacy in his state as a governor
His supporters can’t proof any.. anambra Na my state
They will tell you secretariate.. bros make the upload the picture of that building .. you go weak.. compare to Chime secretariate in Enugu or other secretariate ima other states

Talk about light Obi say he will bring Egypt and Singapore

Obi Na All mouth.. no action

IPOB are sponsoring him and their bingos are threating fire if he lose grin forgetting the fire go bum them for igboland
.. same people will burn Nigeria and declare national sit at home if he wins .. and Obi will seat or they will behead his wife .. no be IPOB?

They no Dey build castle with mouth.. Fashola has learnt that.. Obi wont have the opportunity to learn coz he won’t smell aso villa ..

A vote for Obi is a vote for IPOB and Ekpa

Nigerians are wiser than IPOB bingos..

Did he say 100 as a figure or was it based on assumption and estimates.. i heard estimates..

We are quick to bicker over Obi's interviews, yet we have no candidate to compare his interviews alongside with... everyone wants to leads but none other than him wants to be interviewed live.

Peter Obi is only trying to let Nigerians know that Nigerian youths are talented and making waves in all fields of life outside Nigeria.

I score Peter Obi very low on his presentation on yesterday’s interview.

He has a very good message but it was poorly delivered.

His delivery was somehow shallow.
I believe he should not grant other interviews without being physically present in the same space with the interviewers.

Physical interaction is his best magic. He should capitalize on that.

Moreover, I believe it’s time to engage the services of professionals to help prep him to deliver better.

In all these, he’s still far better than ATK and the bird of bad omen (BAT)

I’m fully OBIDIENT.
You score him low, you must be a professor in lowOlogy, as long as he has what it takes to change the country, he has done it before, he will do it again.

1.It is not 100 out of 150....if we want to be pedantic about it. Again, Obi specifically said 100 out of 150. And he was wrong. Doesn't hurt to be wrong...unless Obi is a divinity.

2.What brain drain? Most of them are American born anyways...plus basketball is not that popular in Nigeria...so it makes no sense for the moneyed class to invest in our local league...unlike the USA where it is big money. Any basketball player, including the European ones, want to play in the NBA.

3.The thread is not about the Agbado man's mistake. It is about Peter Obi's statistic fail. If you want to open thread about the failings of Agbado...then do so. Anyway, I hope he does not win.
