Political candidate who can pay 100 of millions for bribing delegates, can easily recruit urchins and tell them to write rubbish daily. I pity those who will fall for cheap propaganda. Those politicians are doing well and with or without elections their lives are good. But the common man will be the one to bear the effect of bad governance.

Seriously, this is a well thought out and rational opinion.

About Obi, we know already that the man is shallow and not bright, but you nailed it.

His ideas are always infertile and below par, he sounds of like a roadside trader with zero knowledge or capacity when it comes to running a government or managing a national economy, his policies are even below half baked level, too elementary and basement to be taken seriously, sometimes even laughable.

We saw his poor performance, ideas and management style in Anambra that he governed for 8 years, a state that he left economically destitute and unproductive.

When your only stance and achievement as a governor is rubbish like I saved money, money that he actually did not save according to state records and his successor.

Leaders are elected and put in office to build their econe, to grow jobs and push progress and development with credible infrastructures, but this man with roadside trader mentality thought they put him in officer to save money and leave his state unproductive and underdeveloped in the process.

I do make fun of this man because he's really a laughable character, but seriously, he's really a sad joke, he shouldn't even be contesting to run a local government.

I do understand the fact that his followers are not concerned about the points you raised for obvious reasons because to them, it's really not entirely about the man, but more about Igbo man must be president mentality.


I do know for a fact that the man won't win anything, they will shout their usual anti Nigerian rubbish and return to their noise of Igbo marginalization and violent agitation, sadly, but Nigeria and the rest of the world will move on.

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.

Kola said he's from a humble beginning!! quite laughable. He should have built on his father's legacy and run but I could understand trying to paint his own ideas in stars.

Peter obi is trying to run on general discontent due to economic hardship not on ant groundbreaking idea. I have listened to him for quite a while, he's yet to demonstrate the capacity to treat the economic fundamentals.
Buying and selling need to go beyond known market risks drivers, there are many factors limiting the market in Nigeria, some are not demand based.
If you ask me Mr Peter Obi's problem is the larger than life picture of a know it all he has painted of himself, what I think Nigeria needs is not a know it all person but a man or woman who can build a team that can manage the various strategic exposures.
One good thing about the obedient is that the optical class are waking up to that fact that people are now aware and want positive vibes.

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


You gotta be brain dead to support Tinubu....lmao. Abeg , just ignore these people. They even know they are senseless

Which druggie old man? My father is a great grandfather and if you pray to be that old do retract your statement!!!

I have no reason to cry, I have examined all major contenders and just responded to the op analysis because he spoke of some town hall participants.
There are different classes of voters in Nigeria and three principal thing do influence elections; ethnicity, religion and money. Aside being able to eloquently communicate with voters, two of these factors must work for you. However we do have an opportunity to not make them count which I doubt.
What I said of Mr Peter Obi is my opinion, I also have opinions on other candidates.

He tries to run on general discontents and not on any groundbreaking program

His posture is like a man who want the whole world to know that he knows all the problems and all the solutions.

By the time drilling starts, you will understand that emotions don't always win except you a democrat in the US( laughs) . He needs to paint himself as a team builder, a listener and a man with apacity to absorb the fact that solving a national problem is a different ball game across its geopolitics

The real reason Tinubu is being shielded from debates is because the man is senile and have dementia.
Tinubu himself knows this,APC as a party knows this,his supporters including Keyamo knows this.
What ever reason they are giving you is pure propaganda, just to see if they man can win, not for the betterment of Nigeria but for their own selfish interest.
So it's up to Nigerians to allow themselves to be decieved for a second time in less than ten years.

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!


Tinubu will not win this election. Take that to the bank

Your opinion matters less. How would I consider the opinion of a loser ( I’m sure you are above 30 but can’t boast of a million or worthwhile achievement) over the opinion of a man who became a billionaire before 40 and a governor in his early 40s, a former bank chairman.

Mr man go and manage your girl friend first before coming out to disgrace your whole lineage.

Very poor in critical writing. Please go back to school.

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.

Did you see any idea the op proffered as unorthodox? Nooo, thus the unorthodox exist only in his mind because he never proferred any alternative modern solution, criticism is the easiest thing to do, if in doubt watch football match in a beer parlour, people who don't know how to trap ball will be criticizing professionals

Again check this;
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.


What is the per capital income of Nigeria since naira crashed from 170 to 900 under a clueless administration, how many Nigerians can start big businesses, five years ago I started a firm with #87000, today I have a little less than 30 workers taking care of their needs from their earnings under this buhari's unpredictable times,
The Asians who found themselves in similar situations like ours, took the path of smes and agriculture to pull on average, 60% of their population out of poverty, that just around 50% of insecurity solved, because a hungry man is an angry man, an angry man usually is a risk to fellow human, an organization with huge capital and assets can easily fly to the top of a skyscraper a small organization with little capital and assets follows the staircase, they reaches the top of the skyscraper fast with tax waivers and government support by ensuring low interest loans from financial organizations, when it grows to a certain level, taxation commences, your op is dumb, building a country is like raising a child, there's nothing unorthodox about it..

It is a statement of fact that Asiwaju will have more votes in the entire North than the entire South.
Living in denial or consoling oneself that the North particularly the core North won't vote for Asiwaju will only increase pain & tearsin the end.

Asiwaju will conveniently win Katsina, Kaduna Kano, Jigawa, Kebbi, Zamfara, Niger, Yobe, Borno, Gombe, Bauchi, Kogi, Kwara,

The only candidate that could take a bit from Asiwaju's vote is Kwankwaso.

Meanwhile Atiku will take much
of the Northern PDP vote while Obi will take much of the Southern PDP votes.
Again Obi & Atiku will split the core north Christian votes.

Note: No sitting governor's party has gone below 2nd position for it presidential candidate in the general election.

Nobody can fix Nigeria in 2 or 4 years but a working

@the bolded.
Infact your thoughts on Obi is not only empty but lacks content. Your comment that you wanted to know how the "messiah" would attend to the questions on economy and security are shallow shows how biased you approached the meeting. You failed to tell us how your idol PMB who did not attend any presidential debate has led this country to a failed state. You are nothing but an ethnic bigot and hence cannot give a verdict with a tainted view. Nobody needs your opinion.

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.

The reason you can talk about Obi at length is that Bola Tinubu and Atiku were not there so you csn make a more balanced judgement. I dont hold brief for Obi but the guy is putting himself out to be grilled and judged, granting multiple interviews and attending Presdential debates

If Bola Tinubu and Atiku are running away from public scrutiny now they have not been elected, you think they will be there for anyone after they have been elected?
