| Lesson From The Arise TV Presidential Debate (opinion) by Aufbauh(op): 4:03pm On Nov 07, 2022 |
I took my time to dispassionately watched the first round of town hall presidential debate organized by Arise TV, and sincerely my expectations or optimism were dashed. I wasn't really looking out for eloquence of speech or their oratory prowess but the know-how or an idea driven solution to the many problems that has bewildered our nation and deemed our ray of hope. Albeit Bola Ahmed Tinubu who was absent and has no representation and Atiku Abubakar who was well represented by his running mate Gov. Okowa( maybe he has a different idea from his VP), every other front line presidential candidate I've expected were there. Permit me to own up that I was actually keen on listening to Mr. Peter Obi the LP candidate. The much rated presidential candidate on sm & the 'messiah' among crooks to some of my friends. After listening to his proposals on security & economy with the follow up of questions and answers session, I cringed in my frustration that Nigerians will be in for a long ride if this person is our seemingly 'messiah'. Obi's idea about the economy is not only shallow and sterile but orthodox, theoretical, insensitive of the 'Nigeria factors' and more importantly our growth rate will be very slow to say the least. In fact Obi proffers no idea that was outside the box or norm, nor technologically driven. He spoke like a typical hustling trader trying to convince a customer to buy from him. In his economic proposal he highlighted the issue of SME, cultivating the vast arable land in the north, youth employment etc without specific solution drive. Most painfully that his idea does not envisaged sabotage by civil servants and politicians which has been the major clog in the wheel to govt policies and programmes. If Obi is giving the mandate to drive the nation economy, I bet it'll take him third term to make any meaningful impact. In all honesty, Obi sounds like someone who is not much aware and prepared, but wants to fill in the gap for the yearning of new Nigeria by frustrated Nigerians. However, in my opinion Obi is not a bad candidate per say but not the right candidate for the now. We need someone like him when we have gain economic stability to an extent. What we need now is an aggressive thinker, builder and organizer of resourcefulness & tactfulness at this time for survival. Verdict on other participants: I was greatly impressed by Kwankwaso as he spoke intelligently like an experienced driver even though his ideas were equally Orthodox but practical. Whoever wins should pls engage Kwankwaso. Gov. Okowa is a smart naive man with current knowledge. I however doubt his ability to drive the economy, although he won't be the main man. Kola Abiola is passionate and equipped with untested knowledge. He can make a good special adviser as he lacks the experience and right knowledge. He's equally not aware and prepared for the office of the president. Seun, nlfpmod, Mynd44 |

Peter Obi is over bloated IPOB miscreants making, the saint and messiah title given to him |

In other words, this your write up is about Peter Obi, not about the debate. |

70% of this write up is about obi. Abeg calm down, obi is the lesser evil amongst the rest. |

This your style of criticism is beautiful. ![]() I love it. Very ingenious. I mean, add in a little sprinkle of "Oh, Kwak did this; Abi did that; Oko that one" while the bulk heavily criticised Obi. So that when we point it out or even attempt to disagree, you can hide behind us always being sensitive to cry: "bUt i CriTiCiZeD oThErS tOo." Because which group of people are going to take issue with this, huh? When you merely brushed on the others? |

I was greatly impressed by Kwankwaso as he spoke intelligently like an experienced driver even though his ideas were equally Orthodox but practical. Whoever wins should pls engage Kwankwaso.Anyhow sha. Can we talk about these specific people individually, Aufbauh? Are you up for it? I am interested in having this conversation with you as I want to learn. Let's start with RMK first. Can you go a little bit more into what he said in particular that impressed you and made you conclude that he's an experienced driver who is practical? And inspite of your glowing admiration for him, why did you say, "whoever wins?" If Obi is out, RMK is out, Abiola isn't it, please, whose ideas is more "unorthodoxically practical" that you can be sold on? Who can give us that economic stability you mentioned? Y'all have been playing this offensive for way too long. |

"However, in my opinion Obi is not a bad candidate per say but not the right candidate for the now. We need someone like him when we have gain economic stability to an extent. What we need now is an aggressive thinker, builder and organizer of resourcefulness & tactfulness at this time for survival". This is where you will be seriously attacked. For me it is only one person that will fill in that gap and which maybe Atiku but in your mind you maybe referring to Tinubu and i pray you are not. One thing is getting clearer, though we may not like it and it is Tinubu winning the election at the long run. God forbid! |

PandoraObi:Peter Obi knows almost nothing about Agriculture or what it can be used to achieve He has no idea that Agriculture and it’s allied Industries can fully eradicate unemployment For Generations to Come and turn Nigeria into a food and Textile exporting Nation He doesn’t know that Products like Honey are to the Black man what Crude Oil is to the Arab Nigeria Produces the best Shrimps and Prawns on Earth in an Sector it has not even Started exploring properly Nigeria is overflowing with Medicinal Plants that are more Potent and effective that many of the Drugs in today’s Pharmaceutical Industry There are plants in Nigeria that can successfully replace the entire Sugar Industry The Economies Of Countries like the Netherlands run on Agriculture but Nigeria’s Agricultural Potential Is so far bigger than that of the Netherlands that they may even turn Green with envy Nigeria has more Potential and untapped Riches than the Promised Land that was flowing with Milk and Honey Nigeria is going to be an Agricultural Superpower and Superstar To Jesus Christ be all theGlory |

Aufbauh:I was scrolling down and was convinced I would see Peter Obi .We had other candidates like kola,sowore,kwankwaso but Obi took the bulk of your insults and criticism.. You are a well known APC stalwart here and a tinubu urrchin and so your write up is baseless |
| Re: Lesson From The Arise TV Presidential Debate (opinion) by Magnoliaa(f): 5:34pm On Nov 07, 2022 |
Christistruth00:Okay, sooo, are you going to vote? Who is the most qualified candidate to you? Can you sell him (or her) to me? |
| Re: Lesson From The Arise TV Presidential Debate (opinion) by socialmediaman: 5:35pm On Nov 07, 2022 |
LOL. Tinubu shunned a debate where he was supposed to be scrutinized and answer tough questions regarding his candidacy, his supporters were not worried about that, they watched the debate keenly, then came online to air their opinions about the candidates who honored the invitation. I can't explain some mysteries, like being a Tinubu supporter at this time in our country's history |

socialmediaman:You can see that wonders shall never end. ![]() It's the audacity for me o. And small thing now, they will claim Tinubu is too much of a don and master strategist to stoop low to such events. But after the events are finished, piam, they are out with their glasses and pens judging the participants. God abeg. I have seen two of these posts now. |

Aufbauh:Most of the time, the solution to our seemingly numerous problems is usually simple and basic but as Nigerians, we like to complicate issues for ourselves. Peter Obi is telling you how he’s going to solve Nigeria’s problems but you think the solutions he’s proffering are too simplistic; you prefer it written in an Oxford Dictionary sized document before you can accept that the solution is finally technical enough for Nigeria’s problems. Talking about Civil Service and Political sabotage, do you think those things are new to Peter Obi? When Obi became governor, he was the only elected APGA official. He was everywhere surrounded by PDP men who hounded him like a common criminal; the civil servants were not any welcoming either, but he navigated through those things and left with his shoulders high. Free your mind from primordial sentiments and you’d find out that you have nothing else on Peter Obi. |

You're really in no position to have any opinion on a debate your candid skipped. |
| Re: Lesson From The Arise TV Presidential Debate (opinion) by tuborme: 6:16pm On Nov 07, 2022 |
Your observation is about Obi? You did not see Okowa agreeing to everything Obi said? You did not see Tinubu that ran away? |
| Re: Lesson From The Arise TV Presidential Debate (opinion) by Buziness101: 6:21pm On Nov 07, 2022 |
Aufbauh:Maybe you should come out and contest for the seat so that we can vote for you... Because amongst the already existing Presidential candidates PO remains our best bet. |

Magnoliaa:Point of correction - NOT they will claim, it is a FACT. Your candidate is struggling to level up, he has shared the memo, read it. His primary objective is to share a stage with Tinubu than talking to his targeted audience. https://www.nairaland.com/7421620/okupe-obi-wont-attend-debates |

This is one hell of a write up that is replete with criticism against obi. The op himself is an urchin and sense is not expected of him. He ended up shouting Peter Obi up and down while ignoring the fact that his criminally minded benefactor ran away from same debate he is attempting to smear Peter Obi with. Senseless Agbado demented baboon. |
