Its unfortunate that Nigerian youths who are supposed to be defending Peter Obi for motivating and speaking well about Nigerian youths being talented are the ones attacking him but hailed Buhari who stood on international podium to tell the whole world that Nigerian youths are corrupt and lazy.



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



Foolish youths who celebrate mediocre and mock their defender

Give this man an award.

Can you fact check the origin of Americans, Britains and other countries drafted.. just like Anthony Joshua who is a British boxer, but we all know he is Nigerian.

Verdict: Peter Obi lied
This your stupid fact checking gimmick ehn.
So of all the lies around it is only fact vindicating one group and implicating another you see to check.
Please check if one refinery was fixed every year since 2015. Check if security is okay. Check if power is rocket science.

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.
And how does that relate to what he said? Slowly you lot have become indistinguisable from Tinubu supporters, finding a way to relate every clueless statement.

I heard that statement yesterday and shook my head. I only see Peter obi as an honest and sincere politician. But judging from all his interviews I watched, he's just a slight upgrade to Buhari. Frugal but incompetent.

that's what happen when you put too much fact out there to prove a point that you know what you are doing. ... instead of stating things simple.
because you have all the statistic in this world does not make you have the solution...statistic are just a part of the solution...

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

You lack initiative... your write speaks of someone without reasoning..

You say every politician is corrupt, but here you are clamouring for the worst of them all, the other has told you to verify, which obviously you have and found nothing. here you are angry he said 100 of 150 players in the NBA, yet you have a corrupt laden candidate that is playing hide and seek with the populace.

u can't compare tinubu and atiku lies to Peter obi own. Those 2 na babas of lying.

Infact inaccurate information isn't a lie it's an error unlike knowing the truth bt telling people lies.

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.

This is what Reno Omokri has been saying about you Obi supporters. You are always quick to insult and abuse anyone not supporting Obi. If you think that will give Obi the Nigerian presidency then you are in for shocks of your life. Obi will never be president of this country that you guys call Zoo. You and your family can make him Biafra president when the time comes but stop all the insults and abuses and you will have peace

No mind them. A lot of them registered as American hence why the statistic is that low. Adebayo and Oladipo in Miami registered and played as Americans. Same as Andre Iguodala playing with the Warriors.

Similarly, Giannis antetokounmpo and his three other brothers are registered as Greece players.

Josh Okogie and few others like Aminu that are playing for Nigeria are the one listed as Nigerian players.

What about Akinfayoshe Daniel Oturu that played in G league and many more. Even me don mention more than five. With a better economic structure, these guys should be playing for us.

You are the one that is talking nonsense EWU.. When they killed people at Lekki toll gate, what did your bendy bendy said? Mumu

Your problem here is being a loud irritant and assuming that a slight criticism of Peter Obi is a support for Thiefnibu.

Obi goofed. Accept that and stop defending nonsense. 100 players out of 150 is a metabolic exaggeration.

If you can defend little things like this that should be forgotten, who knows at what lengths you will go to defend any mistake he makes when he enters.

We want a great nation and not blind support like the vulture bbq griller.

He is %1000 correct. Anybody who watches basketball game knows this. Nigerians are one of the main driving force of sport both in the UK and USA.

Don’t get misinformed cuz of the future.
No country has up to 100 NBA players from the same nationality. Canada has the highest which is 56.

So both the 150 and 100 he mentioned are both false cuz there are 450 players in NBA..

Shut your trap you fool*sh hypocrite, as if you never attack Obi or his supporters too. I'm no saint neither are you, if it comes down to it anyone that campaigns for APC in this forthcoming elections whether presidential or supporters should be stoned because you guys are all brain dead lots.

I have been seeing this rubbish on facebook too, this is why urchins are happy, its obvious OBi isnt conversant with basketball, what OBi said is what we call an innocent lie moreover what has this rubbish gat to do with his ambition.
So because peter Obi goofed on this I should vote Tinubu or Atiku abi? If Obi lied so be it, who has never lied amongst your candidate should come out, even the rubbish urchin that pushed this to front page has your darling BAT come out for any Interview?

We are talking about National politics these dumbos are talking about NBA, what has this rubbish stats help solve Nigerians problem, is it NBA that will change our nation Nigeria?
If e sure for urchins urge your Tinubu make e come interview if e sure for am? Awon omo ase.

Rubbish news. angry

Then he should stop talking to much, especially things he don't know about just to prove he can handle every issue. He also not conversant with many sectors which he has talked about, he has goofed in many. But he says them to get the likes of gulliable ones who don't do proper checks, but carry and spread the news.

Na who chop belleful fit do sport.
The reason why more than 60 percent of Nigerian Men work is to "put food on the table for my family o". Tinubu talked about Cassava and Maize, He was talking more about been able to feed ourselves and ability to produce the things we consume. "Agbado and Cassava" is a concept that the blind mind may never understand. If you can feed yourself, You can think independently!!!

Rubbish talk. If someone makes an error, correct him, don't make excuses. This is the problem with Nigerians supporting politicians. You are ready to make excuses for them when they make gaffes and will later complain when they enter power...
