I trust him; he's sure to be there even when uninvited.

Our official national mourner.

This is not the same Pope that Obi called out in 2022 for not speaking out against Nigeria's injustice? Why is he there? Is it because he is Catholic?

Something that is not up to 3 days this man has jetted to Vatican. Does this man have a Job at all? Imagine the rate he would be jetting around the world at short notice if he were the president. Even President Tinubu that travels on be half of Nigeria doesnt move around like this. Can't he mourn the Pope in Nigeria? It was as if he was waiting for the Pope to die so that he can jet out.

Peter Obi is a papal knight. He was knighted by the same Pope who just died. What is bad in his participation in the Pope's funeral rites? Where is humanity?

Peter Obi, the president of Nigeria in exile.

Nice one

You will see him back to Nigeria tomorrow attending to other important issues unlike Tinubu and Buhari that spends weeks and months abroad as seating president.

Peter Obi is, without a doubt, one of the most intelligent and disciplined minds to emerge from Eastern Nigeria in recent times. A man of rare vision, meticulous integrity, and economic foresight, he represents what the region could showcase to the world as its finest export. Rather than confining such brilliance within the unyielding structure of a nation reluctant to evolve, his talents would have been far better positioned on a global stage—as a roving ambassador of Eastern Nigeria, a Chief Diplomatic Strategist, and the Chief Commercial Evangelist of Igbo enterprise and innovation.

With his unique blend of economic savvy, political clarity, and moral discipline, he could have served as the face of a rejuvenated Eastern Renaissance—selling the story, the strength, and the soul of Igbo land to the world. In a world that values smart influence over stale power, Peter Obi would not just have been an asset—he would have been the east’s strategic advantage.

an example is Mo Ibrahim or what Ngozi Okonjo Iweala is to the entire black nation, Peter Obi is the most valued statesman of the east now

pain me how , Nairaland is becoming something else , banning people who hold vies against certain norms even when insults and bad words are not used , once you don't align with APC or yoruba mindset , you are already banned . if this continues , then a more open forum will be built to allow people to air their views without sentiments . bythe way , i can post what i wrote here for all to judge

What other important thing. I wont be surpised if on coming back he goes for another funeral. Obi is for local and International funerals.

While the Western region gave us their best in Tinubu, Aregebeshola and the Niger Delta gave Akpabio as their best


Forget north...Buhari was the best

While Tinubu is sleeping for weeks in one hospital and the other in France and UK and when he finally comes back he will hide inside Aso Rock while waiting for his next hospital appointment abroad.

And he came back with tsunami of political defections that will guarantee his second term in 2027. What does that tell you? At the rate things are going even Obi will soon defect to APC. Keep labouring in vain.

People that are defecting are more informed and more Intelligent than you. They know the leadership stuff Tinubu is made up off. They have foresight not to be disturbed by temporary hardships but understand visionary place Tinubu is taking Nigeria to. Only kids cannot see beyond their noses. Hope fully, you will see when you eyes are opened.

Where is he taking Nigeria to?Mind you Tinubu is not an emperor he have at least 4 years term or at most 8 years in office he have spent 2 years already,so when is he going to make Nigeria great with his political wizardary?
I am not impressed with his Lagos abracadabra politics without making real impact on the lives of the people.

I am impressed with his policies. He has made more funds available for Development at all levels of Govt. Some state govs are now doing more projects ranar they ever did beforw now. Some state's are now getting twice and in some cases thrice what they were getting under Buhari so they don't have any excuse not to perform. Remember that in the Past some state's couldnt pay salaries eg Aregbesola , Obi couldnt pay Doctors and so on. That has not happened under Tinubu despite more than 100℅ increase in minimum wage. Can't you see opposition govs are decamping to APC? They have seen that Tinubu can create wealth better for Nigeria and have confidence in him. They don't want that to change anytime soon.
