Let me further declare my bias here; I am an Igbo man from Anambra State.

A Benin friend told me last week that I support Peter Obi because he's Igbo and from Anambra State! I was actually speechless at his prejudice!

Someone also said it's time we help the Igbos they have suffered so much in this country; I was like seriously?

I still hear some say voting for Peter Obi will be justice for the Igbos; ignorance is really really appalling!

Let me drop a few points here;

If some of the reasons alluded above is why you are supporting Peter Obi, then you are not different from the Tribal Warlords and Religious extremist!

Let me shock you further;

when I was at Abuja last year. I joined a discussion at the Hotel lobby and one Northern guy declared with uncommon arrogance; *" THE IGBOS SHALL CONTINUE TO SUFFER IN THIS COUNTRY, THEY WILL NEVER SMELL THE PRESIDENCY, THEY WILL PAY DEARLY FOR 1966...!"*

I asked him; Do you think the Igbos are suffering in this country? He thundered yes!

I told him my brother, let me help you a little bit; *" THE IGBOS WILL BE THE LAST TO SUFFER IN THIS COUNTRY!"* NO MATTER HOW BAD THIS COUNTY BECOMES THE AVERAGE IGBO BUSINESS MAN IS THE MOST INSULATED!

Everyone turned at me in shock; My Northern guy thundered; it's a lie, it's a lie! Which position do they occupy in this country?

I said let me help your ignorance a little;

Who paid for this Hotel? Your company or yourself? He said his company. I said do you know who owns the Hotel? He said no, I told him. He said then he won't lodge here again. I said my brother from TRANSCORP Hotels Owned by Tony Onyemaechi Elumelu to Bolingo to Chelsea, To Top Rank, To Rockview, to almost 95% of Hotels in Abuja here is owned by the same people you said are suffering!

I told him if you car is bad where do you buy your parts from?

If you are buying books, stationeries, school bags, etc who sells them at the market?

If you want to build where do you buy your building materials from?

I told him, I could go on and on.

I told him even in Port Harcourt, even in Lagos, almost every nook and cranny of this country; *"THE CHANCES THAT YOU WILL SPEND 90% OF YOUR INCOME ON AN IGBO MAN IS AS REAL AS TODAY!"*

Every where became silent! Let me explain why the Igbo man suffering is just a mirage;

The Government makes policy to increase import tariffs; Igbo man goes out import the goods, pays the tariffs and custom duties, afterwards he factors it into the cost of materials. You go to him to buy at the new price. He makes his Normal profit. *"AT THE END THE NEW TARIFF IS PAID BY WHO?* Everyone was shocked!

I told them no matter what Government does it can never affect the average businessman; The average businessman will always make his profit and shift the burden to the purchasers!

The only tribe in this country that have secured their Economy almost 100% is the Igbos. It's only in Igboland where Business and Property ownership is almost 98% owned by them! After they secured their homeland, they also arrive in your domain and in some instances control 50-80% of the entire commercial activities and sometimes upto 15-25% property ownership apart from Abuja they own about 70-75%. *"And you said they are suffering?"*

After about 40minutes of my indepth lecture, my Northern guy became silenced and confused. He suddenly realized that what his political leaders are telling him that we are suffering the igbos is actually boomeranging on them!

To be sincere, 2023 shouldn't be about Justice for the Igbos or it's the turn of the Igbos! How is Katsina after PMB? Go and ask! How did OBJ rule transform the West? Many Southwesterners insist to date that OBJ was never their choice! How did 6-years of Goodluck Jonathan transform BAYELSA?

If Peter Obi campaign goes tribal, I can assure you many people will abandon his campaign including myself!

Peter Obi should be treated on his merit and be given opportunity to rescue this country!

I laughed the other day when Asiwaju declared that he needs well meaning Nigerians to join him and rescue this country! *RESCUE? LIKE SERIOUSLY? FROM WHO?!*

Shikena:
That is not advisable. Protest works when there is unity of purpose. Any protest now will be met by direct counter protest, and the law enforcement will have full justification to enforce full lockdown. Who wins?

See this mumu...

Defend your votes in whose state?

Oga architect, go and develop Anambra...

Lagos does not want you....

You sef get mouth dey talk.. I don't blame you, I blame the 🐖🐖 wey give u mouth to dey talk..

Oloriburuku wan use Lagos revenue kukuma complete his skin bleaching goal


Lagos is not meant for IPOBs... Lagosians do not want to sit at home on Mondays

FuckDModz:


The powers that be have already gotten their way through brainless yoruba people.

Y'all can enjoy your pyrrhic victory.

jaxxy:
Those fake results will not Stand. Results did not follow procedures by uploading BVAS to the Irev portal from polling units.

They are fake and hugely manipulated results and will be contested.

SmartPolician:
GRV is young. He should go and prepare for the next election. Work on your use of Yoruba language.

Look how APC changed GRV to an Igbo candidate and many Yorubas fell for it. These oppressors are specialists in gaslighting people and playing mind games.

Mark this comment: Every strong opponent that challenges the APC in 2027 will be considered someone Igbos want to use to take over Lagos State. This is the tribal politics APC has been playing since they emerged in 2015.

This guy dreams alot,

He watches too much of nollywood

LegendHero:
In Lagos, the turnout is just almost as those of the presidential election.

The Yoruba people took it too personal. In some of the info on ground, people started mobilizing people to come out to vote by themselves without even the politicians being involved.

Chinedu shot himself in the foot and that made Yoruba people rally as one and come out enmasse in those LG wey some of us voted for Obi in the presidential election. He handled the campaign like an amateur and he was not diplomatic enough and his opponent banked on that.

Even in this governorship election, there are Yorubas that still voted GRV, just that most of them voted for Sanwoolu.

temisartana:
Politicians are using tribalism to win an election and people are falling for it.

This is politics if you don't know.

All of a sudden GRV of Yoruba father has turned to an Igbo man because the Mum is Igbo.

Don't reject your son because of politics. It's a game and gimmick of politicians to win an election.

Chinedu is a brainless fool.

You can't rule us in Lagos. You called Yoruba man "Afonja" yet you want to rule us. Ko jor.

Useless bastard.

The courts will never favour him especially if Tinubu becomes president.

And I know 2027 tinubu will not give other parties a le el playing ground. The return of buying votes with cash and kind is what will happen with loads of thugs everywhere.
