That was when you became conscious of it, The original sin to me was Obasanjo regime

raumdeuter:
I used to call him Adaobi then, but Obi lies so much even for a politician who are expected to lie. Even petty unnecessary lies like I have worn 1 watch for the past 2 decades which shows he is a pathological liar. Most everyday people use more than 1 watch for 10yrs which is expected but Obi wants you to believe he is the only exception who has 1 watch for 20yrs

When you lie about little things, Imagine what you will do about bigger things

Lol, the quality of governance relative to what we've had to endure from Buhari then BAT says it's not true.

Theflint1:
Lol, he picks and chooses when to bank on the words of politicians, and when to bank on the words of the populace.

Wetin politician talk no follow for today agenda

airmark:
Obviously, most of these Obidients just want "our brother" to be the President and not because they want Nigeria to be better. I can't imagine myself promoting Fayose to become the President just because he is 'my brother'. I will be an heartless person.

To many Obidients, it is more of Igbo presidency than effectively efficient presidency, but they needed to conceal it.

Roland17:
Mark, you see, this is where I will push back and will not stop.

Anyone is welcome to banter Obi, question his integrity, personality, performance as a Governor or any held position and I will have absolutely no problem. Infact, you can banter and ridicule his voice, shoe, wrist watch, it is all part of the game and as a politician Obi should expect it, he put himself out there like every other politician.

However, on a personal level, I will not tolerate or accommodate any attempt to ridicule Obi because he is "Igbo" or any agenda narrative around his tribe. The last time I checked, Obi is a candidate of a National Party with National following and is well within his constitutional right to vie for that office. Obidients do not represent the Igbo cause, they represent their own political ideology. This is the same way I have pushed back on the idea that IPOB represent Igbos and our collective cause.

Once again, let me be very clear, I don't care about Agendas against Obi nor Asiwaju or Atiku but please, refrain from making this about Obi being Igbo because we know where it will go and rest assured I will take PTO days for it and not back down.

raumdeuter:
Of course its random anonymous people on NL that will paid detractors and not Politicians and celebrities

Maybe your criticism of Tinubu is also the post of a paid detractor

Now that you say it, All those critics of Tinubu on this thread might actually be paid detractors

Ellexy:
Bring proof they're actually from Anambra you come dey shalaye.

raumdeuter:
Why will I provide answers to you a paid detractor of this regime?

Ibime:
Spell Obi backwards, it's Ibo, the two cannot be separated

Anambrans who cursed Obis tenure as Governor renovating him at National level 10 years later can only be for ethnic reasons

That's like me renovating Odili or Wike, infact some hammerings Jonathan did in Bayelsa including a massive fraud on Imiringi gas turbines is what made me not stand behind him at National level.

Ellexy:
You said they were Anambra indigenes, bring proof or sit down and stop making claims you can't back up.

The 2 should never be separated, the same way Ibime should never be separated from Okrika! However, I shouldn't use my disapproval of Ibime to now spread dangerous narratives against Okrika/ Ijaw people. If I have a problem, I have a problem with Ibime, not Okrika or Ijaw nation. I will not hide behind my personal hate against Ibime to spread dangerous narratives against Okrika/ Ijaw nation.

The same way you have Igbos who have maintained their position against Obi, irrespective of him being their brother. What should I call those ones? Non-Igbos? Haven't you been reading screenshots of Igbos against Obi's candidacy on this thread? There are prominent Igbo sons in government and the private sector that do not agree and have been openly against Obi's candidacy, what does that make them? Dee Soludo constantly berates Obi's candidacy, he is well within his rights to do so.

I am passionate about my people and our collective cause and hate when people try to box Igbos into a small corner using groups like Obidients/ MASSOB/ IPOB. I believe it is narrow minded, a dangerous and repulsive narrative.

airmark:
Check that line you highlighted and I believe my using many Obidients before it, clears your concerns about my position. Not all Obidients are pushing this agenda but those that after cursing Obi for failing in Anambra and now he is the Messiah, has questions to answer. Plus those who after seeing proofs of his woeful performance as Governor and his lies and gimmicks, still defending him because he is from their tribe.

I will rather become mute than promoting Fayose to become the President as he is in the same category of deceptive leaders like Obi, in my eyes.

raumdeuter:
What do you make of the percentage of votes that the 3 major candidates got in their home region in the 2023 elections and the possible explanations for it?

There is a graphic for it that I am trying to look for

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Obi polled 6 million votes in 2023

1.9 million was from the South East.
1.7 million was from the North Central
1.2 million was from the South South.

But only Igbos are the ones that packaged him, because he's their brother.

I have known you here, and irrespective of how you drag Obi, you have never gotten to that line.

Sit this one out, my Chief. So when we begin drag ourselves, you go watch with a relaxed mind.[/color]

Is this the first time the South East has unanimously voted for a particular candidate, and is this the first time the South West or North split their votes...regardless of the person's contesting?

raumdeuter:
Now do this numbers as a percentage of the total votes and lets see something

What percentage di Obi, Tinubu and Atiku get from their home region

raumdeuter:
This is not the first time SW or North will split their votes
but This is the first time the SE is not unanimously voting for PDP since 1999. Any guess on why that happened?

CrystalTiger:
Is Remi doing this for political reasons or humanity..
