The South East voted Obasanjo simply because the South West don't want Obasanjo but Olu Falae. It is as straight forward as that. The South East will never go the way of the South West even if it means killing themselves.

I can give a million and one examples.

The fool with a prostitute wife and gay son deserves your votes. That's why he used Awkuzu Sars to kill you like pigs when he was Governor.

MakindeHassan:


You really think the world works how it plays in your head. So a whole tribe decided to vote one Yoruba man over the other just to spite the Yoruba’s?! Ah! This is hilarious.

Obj has always been a diplomatic and detribalized person. He built bridges with other tribes years years ago. He has his faults and is not perfect but trust me. Go to the north, go to the south, go to international community, he has a network and is very popular. Obj was simply a better politician. No bias

Slytiger:

Normally, the government was not supposed to give them 1 Kobo, in war, losers don't dictate the terms for the victors.

Eko atlantic was Tinubu's idea. The records are there. The development started with Tinubu. Fashola just continued the work of Tinubu e.g LAMATA is a good example.

Was Obi a politician until not long after he was brought out of Abacha's gulag?

It’s this kind of talk and thinking that has brought us where we are.

As for Eko Atlantic, I know because I have my sources. Go and try negotiating a land there and see the account your money goes into.. unfortunately many Nigerians cannot afford this and transparency is not common.

A foreign company proposed the idea to the government as a way to stop the flooding in VI. It was a win-win deal. The flooding will be stopped and they will own prime real estate in one of the best parts of Lagos.

I give Tinubu his credit for allowing the deal pull through. Some greedy governors will have declined if they weren’t given hefty bribes but Eko Atlantic is not a government project.

LegendHero:


Awolowo was better than Azikiwe in many folds.

At the top of your head, can you mention 3 things Azikiwe did for the Ibos or for Nigeria that everybody can relate to whether as an Igbo or as a Nigerian.

When they mention Azikiwe, what is the first achievement people attribute to him?

kachistone:


You are funny chief. Awolowo is better than the great Zik of Africa? How?

You said what did Zik do for Igbos. Hmmm. I graduated from UNN a school founded by Zik in Oct. 1960.

The economy of Eastern Nigeria in the 1950s and 1960s was rated amongst the highest in the world due to Zik's pragmatism and Michael Okpara's policies.

Zik made the Igbos to be at the forefront of Nigeria's politics in the 50's and 60's and you say Awolowo is greater than him.

Sir, I respect Awolowo and I wish Zik and Awolowo put their egos because their partnership would have been beneficial to the country.

But I wouldn't tolerate any Zik slander. He was the biggest politician in his time and the Biafran movement didn't gain much international prominence because Zik believed in one Nigeria to the core.

Biafra would have succeeded if Zik supported it because he had the clout and international connections.

Themanleshey:


You are the bigoted one here , I don’t know why you guys can’t sit down and think like an adult . Think outside the box now ah ah.

In an election where your son Obi won Lagos , Tinubu base, Atiku won Osun , tinubu home state and home town . Obi won all the 5 eastern region , you still come here and call Yoruba bigot .

How do you reason ? Do you guys even check yourselves or something is really happening to you guys for real ? I can’t even stomach this your attitudes.

It’s more that worse o walai !

DMerciful:
A criminal drug baron deserve no votes from SE and SS

Slytiger:

Prior to 1999. Obj was just a farmer. The bolded were post 1999. That's the power of the presidency.

Ibos have used anti Yoruba bias to win elections in the SE. This is common knowledge. The opponent of a SE politician in the last election deliberately created posters of his opponent with the name Abiola, just so that Ibos would not vote for someone with a Yoruba name.


Peter Obi used the same logic in 2011 and 2013.

MakindeHassan:


When were you born?

Farmer ke?

Obj was a former head of state. He handed over to a democratic government winning the heart of the west.

He was rumored to be a freemason. If true that alone should give you an idea to his connections. Obj was already a leading figure in Africa as the west tried to make him a shinning example of a military ruler that can embrace democracy as a way of encouraging other military rulers in Africa to carry out elections. In the 1970’s Africa was plagued with different coups.

Some of you really think Obj is your mate.

Emekaonline:


But a criminal looter that looted hi state dry to fund business in foreign land as revealed by that Pandora papers deserves 100% votes from the SE. A man in whose car was found 250 million naira cash can only be hero in the dude brains of obidense

Slytiger:


Eko atlantic founded in 2003 was Tinubu's idea. The records are there. Eko Atlantic development is being carried out as a Public–private partnership (PPP) with private companies and investors providing the funding, whilst Lagos State Government(LASG) is a strategic partner.

In 2003, Tinubu was the governor of Lagos state. Thank you for giving him credit.

MakindeHassan:


Tell me what input the “strategic partner” provided if funding was solely from the private partner and also tell me who conceived the idea if it was Tinubu that conceived the idea and approached the company or the International company heard of the problem Lagos faced and approached with the idea.

When you find the answer, if you are bold enough to post the true answer then you would have successfully contradicted yourself.

Slytiger:

When was I born? Lol. I am sure this Mushin born man is older than you.

What was Obasanjo's occupation from when he left power as military head of state till Abacha locked him up 😂. He is not called agbe for nothing. He has sold a good chuck of his farms though especially the ones around the Akute axis of Ogun state.

MakindeHassan:


Oga you said farmer like that was his only occupation before becoming president.

Obj was already a leader that can walk into rooms with international leaders that some of our local politicians cannot even dare.

All respect to Pa Olu Falae but they were not mates in politics.

A SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION FOR THE ONGOING EROSION

Recognizing the dire need for action, Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu called for solutions. South Energyx Nigeria Limited, the city planners and designers of Eko Atlantic City, worked with marine engineers Royal Haskoning to create Eko Atlantic City and submitted the project to the Lagos State Government for consideration as a solution that could solve the problem of coastal erosion at no financial cost to the Government.

The sustainable solution created by South Energyx and Royal Haskoning called for reclaiming the land that had been lost to 100 years of coastal erosion and erecting a sea revetment to protect Victoria Island permanently from the onslaught of the Atlantic Ocean. The design and testing of a sea wall, which could stand the worst storms in 1,000 years, was tested to its’ limits in Copenhagen at the Danish Hydraulic Institute.

A Concession Agreement was concluded in July 2006 between Lagos State Government and South Energyx Nigeria Ltd. Commencement on The Great Wall of Lagos could begin.

THE DESIGN OF THE GREAT WALL OF LAGOS IN DEPTH:

The Great Wall of Lagos is a large sea revetment that protects the emerging new city as well as Victoria Island from the threat of flooding due to ocean surge. The Wall was designed by Royal Haskoning Marine Engineers from Holland: world renowned for their over 100 years of experience in urban planning and developments. Royal Haskoning, in their design process, took into consideration the Atlantic’s tough nature and designed a wall that would more than sufficiently protect the city.

Invitation to invest, Regulatory, Approvals e.t.c.
Prior to Eko Atlantic and the great wall of Lagos, FG was pumping 4 billion naira yearly to sandfill barbeach. Tinubu told them to stop that he had a better solution, and he invited Chagoury.

Same way he brought Lagos the Lekki free trade zone, that man is above all the rubbish politicians we have in Nigeris.

Bobloco:


The Igbos votes competence and capacity over ethnicity any day any time.

Peter Obi was obviously the best candidate in that election

Economy of Western Nigeria was the best in that era and still the best in Nigeria till date; hence, the continuous migration to the SW from other parts of the country.

Two different reports from the 1950s -1960s below 👇

LegendHero:


Ojukwu is not a strong candidate in 2003. Infact the weak guy lost a senatorial election even in his own Anambra.

Also, Obasanjo wrote votes in 2003 and it was one of the most rigged election ever with that of 2007.

Man wrote almost 99% for himself in Ogun state. Even Jesus himself cannot have such vote.

Jokerman:
Observation

1. Era of PDP result writing favoured OBJ

2. Tribal voting did not start today, however it seems Tinubu and his minions have proliferated it, as we can see....

In 1999, all Yoruba voted for Olu Falae, from 2003-2015, all Northerners voted for Buhari head on...

3. It seems SS/SE vote more of competent candidates rather than tribal, as we can see votes to Obasanjo etc..

4. So no core SW gave GEJ 70% 😂😂😂😂

Bobloco:
Data doesn't lie.

The south-east is and will always remain the most detribalized ethnic group in Nigeria.


It is the only geopolitical zone in this country that votes based on the competence and capacity of the candidate to perform rather than the ethnic background of the candidate.

The 2023 election is the only time the South East voted overwhelmingly for a candidate from their geopolitical zone, not because he is from the South East but because he was the best candidate in that election.
