These influencers usually claim Obi represents a new order, but when you look at some of the people Obi has sought endorsement from, you see members of the old blocks that have held Nigeria with Iron fists in the past decades and unwilling not to loose grip and are christened 'owners of Nigeria'; I mean the likes of Generals Ibrahim Babangida and Chief Olusegun Obasanjo - both men sold Buhari to Nigerians in 2015. Again, what new order is Obi bringing? The Obi influencers claim that "Nigeria should do away with PDP and APC" but when reminded that Obi himself was once a PDP Chieftain that even served in the eve of Jonathan's administration and ran as the running mate to Atiku Abubakar in the 2019 presidential election, while Datti Baba Ahmed his deputy has been a longtime ally of Buhari since 2003, a foundational member of APC and a member of PDP (from December 2017) where he was a presidential aspirant (2018) and Kaduna State 2023 gubernatorial aspirant (until May 2022), they will employ emotional tactics to save face. In fact, majority of the people that constitute LP are politicians that lost out in the politics of major Parties; this include Obi, Datti Ahmed and LP's VP Placeholder, Dr. Doyin Okupe . Penultimate to their exit from PDP, Obi lost to Chief Chris Uba power block in the battle to control Anambra PDP, while Datti was heading to defeat in in his gubernatorial quest under PDP because the odd favored Hon. Ashiru Kudan.

Obi's new order is the highest order of political prostitution and desperation.

Only fools and bingos will vote Obi ..

Nigerians can’t be manipulated or intimidated by IPOB bingos

Nigerian youths are wiser than that...

If they want make them carry guns for every polling unit

Dey will see lose ..

Power to the people
Atiku/Okowa 2023

ochejoseph:
Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.!!!!

Whoever waste his or her vote on this Obi and brings Tinubu to Office through the back door should not complain when agbadonomics makes $1 =N3000

PDP is a tested party a truly National party you can trust to unify our country and save its people! Atiku brought Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Obi Ezekwesili and other seasoned technocrats into government, but Obi is telling us how as governor he personally bought and paid for the fueling of his convoy through out his 8 year tenure. Meaning he is not a team player. How does he intend to govern a multi ethnic and multi religious nation like ours.


May God Help Us to Help Ourselves !!!!

Shut up!

After PDP used 16 years to destroy Nigeria you want to bring them back to power again?


APC all the way!

@TonyeBarcanista
You deserve an axe on both sides of your head. You sold Buhari to Nairalanders on the inception and now you want to deny your involvement?

People should support the opposite direction to your call. You are not a better person. You got no integrity, just another FFK.

Tonyebarcanista good to see you.

You can go about your business with utmost focus and dexterity, but bear it at the back of your mind that no one is interested in what you got to say because, just like your principal Atiku, you only show your face during election because you are a political jobber.

Your opinion can't make nor mar Peter Obi's chances at the polls. You are very inconsequential, having no integrity and just gunning for your little stomach in a one night stand.

Good luck.

TonyeBarcanista:
During the period of electioneering ahead of the 2015 Presidential election, Muhammadu Buhari, a former army general with an unpleasant antecedent, was nominated by then opposition merger, All Progressives Congress (APC), as their candidate for the 2015 presidential election. Following his emergence, he was touted as the long-awaited messiah to take Nigeria to the path of greatness by his Party members. Aside members of the APC, Buhari was equally projected to Nigerians by a group of people disguising as 'apolitical intellectuals' as the man to rescue Nigeria from the 'misgovernance' of the Goodluck Jonathan led Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) administration, and restore Nigeria to eldorado.

These influencers and their followers employed emotional, psychological, ethnic and religious tools laced with propaganda to manipulate Nigerians into joining the Buhari train. Whenever you confront them with past records of Muhammadu Buhari, they will dismissed your observation entirely with the phrase "I have decided to vote change". Some go to the extreme of either labeling you a hireling of Jonathan/PDP or an enemy of good governance. When you remind them that Buhari, the man they tout as the 'Incoming Messiah", was dishonest about his academic records, truncated the democracy enjoyed in the second republic, caused Nigeria economic havoc while as military head of state, literally set Lagos state sixty years backwards with the truncation of the rail project of Lateef Jakande (due to gross ignorance), perpetrated rights abuses, jailed journalists for doing their job with his infamous decree, promoted sectionalism, tribalism and allegedly perpetrated graft as chairman of Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF), these influencers will shut you down. They justify the coup (calling it a child of necessity), and they downplayed his intellectual deficiency and dishonest academic record by saying that NEPA bill (electricity bill) is as good (if not better) than an academic or professional certificates. They justified his abuse of human rights saying that Nigerians need iron hand to behave decently, and adorned Buhari with the robe of "reformed democrat" to shoot down his dictatorial past. In fact, these influencers took advantage of some of shortcomings of the then Goodluck administration especially with respect to the growing insecurity in the Northeast and parts of the Northwest by Boko Haram insurgents. They manipulated the anger of Nigerians that arose from the ill-informed removal of fuel subsidy on 2012 New Year Day against the Jonathan's government just to force the Buhari agenda down their throat. They equally took advantage of the desperation of the north to return to power to boost their numerical strength and caused increase in Buhari electoral standing; at the end, Buhari won the 2015 presidential. But unfortunately, the entire country has been in flames ever since with hyperinflation and its resultant economic woes, banditry and other forms of insecurity, sectionalism, gross rights abuse and other forms of misgovernance.

Like the 2015 electioneering era, a group of influencers and their followers have "hijacked" the airwaves to force the aspiration of Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate down the throats of Nigerians. Similar to what transpired in the run-up to the 2015 election, these people, who have christened themselves as 'Obidients', have resulted to taking advantage of the epic failure of Buhari led APC administration to manipulate Nigerians to embrace Peter Obi - who they have already adorned with the messianic robe. They push the Obi candidacy through false claims, half truths and unverified facts, and are prepared to mobilize a media mob action against anyone that dares express contrary opinion about their audio messiah irrespective of their previous relationship with the person. Aside adorning Obi the messianic robe, his promoters equally elevated themselves to the status of 'heroes' of Nigeria, while engraving the 'villain' stamp on the foreheads of those who are not subscribed to Obi presidential aspiration. But how sincere are they?

While the Obi influencers' claim that the passion for a progressive Nigerian system with economic improvement, secuity of lives and property, respect for human rights, transparency and general good governance informed their position on Obi, they get angry, threatening and defensive when reminded them of Obi's antecedents. As Governor of Anambra State, Obi administration could not to grow Anambra State internal generated revenue beyond a meagre monthly 400 milion naira even when relatively poor Cross river State was generating 600 million naira monthly. The same IGR was raised to 1.4 billion monthly by Obi successor, Obiano, shortly after assuming office. Is that the man that can improve Nigeria's economic fortunes? When you confront Obi or these influencers with these facts, they will tell you that he saved N75 billion naira for the state; a claim described as false by his successor, Willie Obiano. In contrast, Obi was said to handover a debt burden of N185 billion and hurriedly recruited over 6000 employees into the State's Civil service on the eve of his exit; which Obiano administration was expected to cater for. Interestingly, Obi as Governor refused to pay workers the minimum wage and threatened to fire striking workers (Medical doctors and others) from the state service. In fact, Peter Obi administration was described by Anambra Indigenes on Ndigbo Facebook Page as a calamity that befell the state.

Furthermore, these Obi influencers, many of whom were active in the agitation against police brutality and other human rights abuses through the #EndSARS movement, are promoting the candidacy of a man that infamously ordered shoot-on-sight on MASSOB members in Anambra State even when the group was not declared a terrorist organisation during his time as governor (and extrajudicial order); most of the people killed as a result of that order were innocent traders and youths. When you point this to these influencers, they will not hesitate to betray themselves by either defending it or pretend like it never happened. These influencers usually claim Obi represents a new order, but when you look at some of the people Obi has sought endorsement from, you see members of the old blocks that have held Nigeria with Iron fists in the past decades and unwilling not to loose grip and are christened 'owners of Nigeria'; I mean the likes of Generals Ibrahim Babangida and Chief Olusegun Obasanjo - both men sold Buhari to Nigerians in 2015.

Ashiru Kudan.

Like Buhari influencers of 2015 made opposition to Buhari to mean opposition to northern interests and punished people from the north that opposed Buhari, the Obi influencers are emotionally blackmailing everyone from to the South to join their project labeling southerners, especially those from southeast, that refused to be blinded by Obidient chant as saboteurs and enemies of southern/Igbo agenda/race.

Unlike 2015 where Buhari influencers pushed many into bringing the Buhari administration, Nigerians should refuse to be deceived by the antics of these Obi influencers. They should ask the right questions about Obi and insist on the right answers. Let no one deceive you!

Dear male Mofo!! When I stopped reading your article was where you claimed Obi didn't leave 75 billion naira for Obiano. It simply means that you are the greatest fool of the 21st century that is blinded by hate.

Y'ardua stole our hearts not because he did so many infrastructure as a State Governor but because he left 12 billion naira for his successor which is the rarest thing to see in today politics.

I spit out this your useless biased gibberish I just mistakenly assimilated!!

You guys are going about this Campaign the wrong way...

I honestly doubt there will be anything like voter apathy. All this so called youth care about is what is trending on social media.

Once upon a time we watched videos where youths trooped to get registered. This went on and on for a while till it faded away like an old used hag.

This so called youth who trooped out to collect their PVC. Ask them if they even know where the ward where the Polling Unit they're supposed to vote is located, they'll stare at you as if you're speaking French.

I tell you this, many of this youth who trooped out en masse to collect PVC only did so because it was what was trending. Others did to get a means of valid identification because other valid means of identification cost money to get. Period.

And that is how they will all vote to trend.

Maxymilliano:
Barcanista I don't see how this should be your problem, this is democracy and people have the rights to support any candidate of their choice.

He wants to be noticed by the PDP campaign team. Obi is actually receiving traction from there write ups. Nobody can be as worse as Buhari

Moh247:

Really?

But we are doing what we learned from you.

You Agbadorians are only handicapped because your candidate is defective. You cannot talk about him anywhere without a serious backlash.

You guys threw in so much energy for Buhari in 2015 but you have not given Tinubu one tenth of that energy.

You are on the defensive rather and hoping that monetary inducements will win you the election.

His party the ruling party also didn't make things easy for you Agbadorians.

slivertongue:

Nobody will notice him this time. Nobody will give him protection too because as he himself can see, even buhari cannot protect himself now.

the youths are coming

they have no manifestos to campaign with apart from their usual old tribalism and tribal card tactics.

But we'll remind them that tribalism won't bring back dollars to at least 400
tribalism won't bring back fuel to 95 naira
tribalism won't send our undergraduates back to school.
tribalism won't fix our security.
tribalism won't develop our economy.

since suffering knows no tribe or religion, since we're suffering together irrespective of our tribe and religion, it's also fair if we get it right together by sending thieves and those who thinks they can rape Nigeria TURN by TURN.
Enough is Enough!!!

2023 will be the youths vs the criminals
it won't be business as usual.

Hahahahahaha
it's obvious they have nothing against this man.
the mai gaskiya himself
nwoke obi ya di ocha
mr "go and verify"


They tried using tribalism card, that one has already failed because this youth movement is WAZOBIA
they tried using fake news and information, faa faa foul because the man himself is "mr go and verify"
they gat nothing against him on corruption because Nigerian ROCK is the mai gaskiya and incorruptible man.
they now result to childish tantrums.
hahahahaha.
we told you guys before that they have no manifestos to campaign with apart from their usual old tribalism and tribal card.
they would have had an easy campaign with Osinbajo on the ballot because I wonder how a sane person will be campaigning against Osinbajo.
the only thing you can have against Osibanjo is his party and nothing more. but few times he headed things he proved himself within same party.
Nigerians would have has a tough choice to make between Osibanjo and Obi but they made the choice easy for the youths and the youths have chosen to pull themselves out of suffering from those who wish to molest this country "TURN BY TURN"
Suffering knows no tribe or religion
THE YOUTHS ARE COMING!!!

this one don receive protection money

Baseless propaganda..

During the period of electioneering ahead of the 2015 Presidential election, Muhammadu Buhari, a former army general with an unpleasant antecedent, was nominated by then opposition merger, All Progressives Congress (APC), as their candidate for the 2015 presidential election. Following his emergence, he was touted as the long-awaited messiah to take Nigeria to the path of greatness by his Party members. Aside members of the APC, Buhari was equally projected to Nigerians by a group of people disguising as 'apolitical intellectuals' as the man to rescue Nigeria from the 'misgovernance' of the Goodluck Jonathan led Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) administration, and restore Nigeria to eldorado.

These influencers and their followers employed emotional, psychological, ethnic and religious tools laced with propaganda to manipulate Nigerians into joining the Buhari train. Whenever you confront them with past records of Muhammadu Buhari, they will dismissed your observation entirely with the phrase "I have decided to vote change". Some go to the extreme of either labeling you a hireling of Jonathan/PDP or an enemy of good governance. When you remind them that Buhari, the man they tout as the 'Incoming Messiah", was dishonest about his academic records, truncated the democracy enjoyed in the second republic, caused Nigeria economic havoc while as military head of state, literally set Lagos state sixty years backwards with the truncation of the rail project of Lateef Jakande (due to gross ignorance), perpetrated rights abuses, jailed journalists for doing their job with his infamous decree, promoted sectionalism, tribalism and allegedly perpetrated graft as chairman of Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF), these influencers will shut you down. They justify the coup (calling it a child of necessity), and they downplayed his intellectual deficiency and dishonest academic record by saying that NEPA bill (electricity bill) is as good (if not better) than an academic or professional certificates. They justified his abuse of human rights saying that Nigerians need iron hand to behave decently, and adorned Buhari with the robe of "reformed democrat" to shoot down his dictatorial past. In fact, these influencers took advantage of some of shortcomings of the then Goodluck administration especially with respect to the growing insecurity in the Northeast and parts of the Northwest by Boko Haram insurgents. They manipulated the anger of Nigerians that arose from the ill-informed removal of fuel subsidy on 2012 New Year Day against the Jonathan's government just to force the Buhari agenda down their throat. They equally took advantage of the desperation of the north to return to power to boost their numerical strength and caused increase in Buhari electoral standing; at the end, Buhari won the 2015 presidential. But unfortunately, the entire country has been in flames ever since with hyperinflation and its resultant economic woes, banditry and other forms of insecurity, sectionalism, gross rights abuse and other forms of misgovernance.

Like the 2015 electioneering era, a group of influencers and their followers have "hijacked" the airwaves to force the aspiration of Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate down the throats of Nigerians. Similar to what transpired in the run-up to the 2015 election, these people, who have christened themselves as 'Obidients', have resulted to taking advantage of the epic failure of Buhari led APC administration to manipulate Nigerians to embrace Peter Obi - who they have already adorned with the messianic robe. They push the Obi candidacy through false claims, half truths and unverified facts, and are prepared to mobilize a media mob action against anyone that dares express contrary opinion about their audio messiah irrespective of their previous relationship with the person. Aside adorning Obi the messianic robe, his promoters equally elevated themselves to the status of 'heroes' of Nigeria, while engraving the 'villain' stamp on the foreheads of those who are not subscribed to Obi presidential aspiration. But how sincere are they?

While the Obi influencers' claim that the passion for a progressive Nigerian system with economic improvement, secuity of lives and property, respect for human rights, transparency and general good governance informed their position on Obi, they get angry, threatening and defensive when reminded them of Obi's antecedents. As Governor of Anambra State, Obi administration could not to grow Anambra State internal generated revenue beyond a meagre monthly 400 milion naira even when relatively poor Cross river State was generating 600 million naira monthly. The same IGR was raised to 1.4 billion monthly by Obi successor, Obiano, shortly after assuming office. Is that the man that can improve Nigeria's economic fortunes? When you confront Obi or these influencers with these facts, they will tell you that he saved N75 billion naira for the state; a claim described as false by his successor, Willie Obiano. In contrast, Obi was said to handover a debt burden of N185 billion and hurriedly recruited over 6000 employees into the State's Civil service on the eve of his exit; which Obiano administration was expected to cater for. Interestingly, Obi as Governor refused to pay workers the minimum wage and threatened to fire striking workers (Medical doctors and others) from the state service. In fact, Peter Obi administration was described by Anambra Indigenes on Ndigbo Facebook Page as a calamity that befell the state.

Furthermore, these Obi influencers, many of whom were active in the agitation against police brutality and other human rights abuses through the #EndSARS movement, are promoting the candidacy of a man that infamously ordered shoot-on-sight on MASSOB members in Anambra State even when the group was not declared a terrorist organisation during his time as governor (and extrajudicial order); most of the people killed as a result of that order were innocent traders and youths. When you point this to these influencers, they will not hesitate to betray themselves by either defending it or pretend like it never happened. These influencers usually claim Obi represents a new order, but when you look at some of the people Obi has sought endorsement from, you see members of the old blocks that have held Nigeria with Iron fists in the past decades and unwilling not to loose grip and are christened 'owners of Nigeria'; I mean the likes of Generals Ibrahim Babangida and Chief Olusegun Obasanjo - both men sold Buhari to Nigerians in 2015. Again, what new order is Obi bringing? The Obi influencers claim that "Nigeria should do away with PDP and APC" but when reminded that Obi himself was once a PDP Chieftain that even served in the eve of Jonathan's administration and ran as the running mate to Atiku Abubakar in the 2019 presidential election, while Datti Baba Ahmed his deputy has been a longtime ally of Buhari since 2003, a foundational member of APC and a member of PDP (from December 2017) where he was a presidential aspirant (2018) and Kaduna State 2023 gubernatorial aspirant (until May 2022), they will employ emotional tactics to save face. In fact, majority of the people that constitute LP are politicians that lost out in the politics of major Parties; this include Obi, Datti Ahmed and LP's VP Placeholder, Dr. Doyin Okupe . Penultimate to their exit from PDP, Obi lost to Chief Chris Uba power block in the battle to control Anambra PDP, while Datti was heading to defeat in in his gubernatorial quest under PDP because the odd favored Hon. Ashiru Kudan.

Like Buhari influencers of 2015 made opposition to Buhari to mean opposition to northern interests and punished people from the north that opposed Buhari, the Obi influencers are emotionally blackmailing everyone from to the South to join their project labeling southerners, especially those from southeast, that refused to be blinded by Obidient chant as saboteurs and enemies of southern/Igbo agenda/race.

Unlike 2015 where Buhari influencers pushed many into bringing the Buhari administration, Nigerians should refuse to be deceived by the antics of these Obi influencers. They should ask the right questions about Obi and insist on the right answers. Let no one deceive you!

This anywhere belle face political jobber and a renowned turncoat! You disappeared for a very long time and now you are back again with your gibberish. I don’t take turn coats like you seriously because you stand for nothing but fall for anything.

TonyeBarcanista:

As a veteran on Nairaland Political section, this is what you could come up with after quoting the entire piece?

But he is right. You oscillate from PDP to APC and back. Who takes such a character seriously? Nobody!
