This ethnic war should stop. It's not helped Obi's presidential pursuit at all. He is the best of the candidates and enjoyed supports across the country. But the way obidients are going about it is not carrying everybody along. This is distasteful.

Kind of funny that many people are losing electrons over one election.

At any rate, their anger is understandable. No one likes the current presidential elect, but the sad thing is, he won the election by the rules on ground, and it was a narrow victory.

The truth is, if PDP had been united, we would have been celebrating the end of APC by now.
No one likes the winner of election na who dem come like?
A person got 25% in ALL the northern states and no one likes him?
If dem like am nko?

Nigerians, many of whom behave like neanderthals. Tribal dragging, left and right, on one of Africa's most recognizable fora.

I go on Quora from time to time and I see discussions take place. Decorum! Even when not everyone agrees, there's hardly any tribal or racial belittling. But here? Nah. We'll literally shoot and kill ourselves online.

We'll support evil and consume ourselves while the evil we supported lives on. Spits!

Useless people. You want to suppress freedom of speech. He was one of those who first condemned attacks in Lagos, he was one of those who first believe presidency should go to the SE, but they are now saying he didn't come home and campaign for OBI if he really mean business. The musician twins that were vibrating before the elections, ran out just few days to the election to USA for shows. They didn't even vote.

In the same interview, he condemned FG fining Channels TV and scolded them, but just because what he condemned section of what datti said on national TV, because what his eyes and so many comrades suffer under the military junta, their brains exploded in one side.
While people like wole Soyinka, bakare, rewane, late pa adesanya , tinubu, akande, fayemi , frank kokori, kudirat, fayehinmi, Ndubuisi Kanu,pa enahoro, , abubaka Umar, osobas, kutis, pa Clark and many other heros of democracy (many lost their lives, many escaped bullet wounds and escaped assassinations like wole Soyinka), were fighting military era by fire, some sections of these country were doing Youths Earnestly Ask For Abacha YEAA led by one kanu then. Matching 3 million man match for military era. What nonsense!. Na talk they wan hear today.

I now believe seriously that this people have a secret agenda that failed already disguising under makinga Nigeria work. Is anything more than that interviews that is his personal opinions or another interviews?
Many didn't even watch that interviews and didn't even bother to watch the recap just just following mob actions.
The man has paid his dues, no human Born dead or alive can overturn his achievements, never. Una go wail, frustrate Una self until death. Just look at how the man was vibrating? He can just collapse if care is not taking.
I feel same way too even though I support obi, I think the attack on Soyinka is unwarranted, dude has paid his dues even though we may not always agree on everything he says but at least let's be logical in our thinking some of this obi supporters dey shame me Sha I was disappointed in Charley boys remark.

What happened in the South East? People were maimed and molested just by expressing their desire to vote for apc, so stop making mockery of yourself. It was in the open. The lady from anambra that contested under apc was lucky to be alive but all her properties were destroyed just for daring to contest under apc. Osita iheme elder brother was dragged out of a moving vehicle and shot at close range because he supports apc.

The fact is, APC got less votes than the vote for oppositon parties.

APC won because the opposition vote was divided.

You are shifting the goal post you said no one likes the presiden elect
That was a personal assessment and so the comparator would be Atiku and He bi?
He was the most "liked" by voters ,of all the candidates, fact not opinion

The next is your opinion which is speculation.
It is like saying Team A lost because player B did not. play
Who know? It is a guess.

Everything is wrong with whataboutism. The courts don't entertain whataboutism.
If you commit a crime, the court would not free you because your neighbour commited the same offence and was not arrested, even if you present video evidence of your friend committing the crime.

If whe justify crimes with whataboutism then no crime would ever be prosecuted.

Save that "whataboutist" arguments are not intended for courts but simply to show up the hypocrisy of a particular position in informal discourse. The argument is most often deployed where the very party condemning something is also guilty of it. Like I said - its not for the courts - just to show up hypocrisy.

Igbo are very unruly vagabonds and they will not hear until another disastrous civil war is on them again. Do this people learn from history at all or all their atrocities world wide is catching up with them. They are hell bent on destroying the yoruba land and the yoruba people in their evil plans, they are even worst than the fulanis, but they will meet with their waterloo soon. Watch this space, as they have climbed the tree beyond the leaves.

I don't see it like that. I see it as a case of interests? I have my rights to fight for my interests, you have your rights to fight for yours.

For example LP is more interested in calling out INEC, police and the APC for denying its supporters their rights to vote in Lagos. I expect them to gather evidence, shout and scream about the injustice and go to court. I don't expect LP to go to Anambra to gather evidence for crimes commited by its own supporters. That I expect from APC, PDP and others. No one should prevent people that feels strongly about the crimes commited in Anambra from shouting and screaming about it. You should not expect other to fight for issues that interests you.

Can we all stop all this f*ck already?!

Why are the Igbo's & Yoruba's disgracing each other this way?

I like the way the North are just watching you guys stupidity from afar.

Nigeria is not all about Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba's. We have hundreds of other tribes that is holding this country unity.

And none is as childish as you guys and none will ever pick a side in your senseless online war.

The elections have come and gone, they must always be a winner and a loser.

Everyone just have to move forward.

Not everybody must support Obi.
Wole Soyinka and Tinubu are friends, he'll support him no matter what. Even if it stains his reputation to associate himself with Tinubu.


Show me your friend and I will show you who you are. Hypocrite. But you have never asked what Obi did to them.,

Stop deceiving yourself, obidient movement was an ipob project birthed as endsars and metamorphosed into "youths are taking over". They are online bandits that bullied and threatened anyone with contrary opinion. Toyin Abraham can testify to this, they went all out for her and even reported her movies to Netflix, insulted her child and threatened her husband, just for saying she will vote for Tinubu. You think we the silent majority are not alive to your treachery and "wayo"? An igbo precidency can only come through negotiations and not backdoor of threats and subversion, as soludo wrote in his famous letter to Peter Peter Obi.
