Nigerians should give Peter Obi a chance to become our own Lee Kuan Yew for our collective good



Tinubu have tried his best, he has done his bit, but unfortunately his best is not good enough to get Nigeria out of the woods it was pushed into since 2016



We need to try something new and compare till we get things right, Nigeria need to enter the right path to future prosperity before things get completely out of hand

Ethnic and religious bigots won't allow obi to do much they will definitely sabotage his efforts.

What can Obi do apart from poverty, tribal and religious bigotry

Guestmale:
Hypocrisy of the highest order. Tinubu has not introduced half of strict and tough measures the prime minister introduced to rebuilt his nation, but you people are already crying and calling him names because it isn't your preferred candidate.

It's not about introducing measures, it's about the corruption draining Nigeria. Tinubu, being an extremely corrupt man, can not solve the issues plaguing this country.
This is the reason I always advocate for disintegration or true federalism so no region will hold the other region back

I'm Igbo but I haven't really read obi manifesto. I still don't see him as a revolutionary leader.

You are Igbo and you haven't bothered to read Obi's manifesto, but want his tribe to be president?

I am Yoruba, and I campaigned tire for Obi, who's manifesto I read, but more importantly wanted a change from APC.

I didn't expect him to be revolutionary because he is not a god, but I knew another APC government would not probe the APC government before it so we could see if Buhari had been corrupt or not. That said, I'm delighted with some of what the revolutionary accountant president is doing (subsidy removal, for starts)..

Hopefully we've had our last military ruler (after Buhari). But with people who can't be bothered to read manifestos, I expect our suffer to continue a while longer.

As for the comment about not wanting Igbos to rule Nigeria, there are precedent scattered everywhere around Nigeria ruling class where there are comments about never wanting the Igbos to rule Nigeria.
As a Matter of fact other Nigeria tribes sees the Igbos as a irritant. That's why it's being said that " the hatred for the Igbos is what's keeping Nigeria together" It's not about obi.

Until I see a Nigerian leader in the league of yew, Washington, Confucius, ma, Hitler , Jefferson or Lincoln, I might just take a look at his manifesto.

The only Nigerian leader I would have loved is awolowo, but he's a tribalist

You can not know if Obi is revolutionary if you can't be bothered to look at what he's offering. And while you are waiting for your revolutionary leader, whom you are likely to miss because you can't be bothered to look and see if they offer anything revolutionary or not, non-revolutionary people will get elected and derevolution.

As for "other Nigeria tribes sees the Igbos as a irritant", you could not even bother to look at what your tribes person offered, which in my opinion is much worse than those Nigerians you mention. Do note that Obi got votes from tribes that are not his. So, I can't agree that most Nigerians are as you've described.

My tribe is Yoruba, and I campaigned for my non-tribes man Obi because I am not īgnorant enough to not campaign for a person not from my tribe.

you can predict a man from his past actions
Awolowo was like yew in encouraging his people to school and setting up policies that made his people to be easily educated. That was philosophical .

These are teachings and policies that can influence institutions and generations unborn.

I won't claim to have followed obi well enough to know most of his policies neither I've cared to follow recent political happening in Nigeria, but the internet have a way of wiping up something on your face when you least expect. And I've haven't read anything outstanding from obi. That makes me not to hold him in the class of leaders I reverend. Maybe I'm just being lazy or I just don't like Nigerians.

Anyways thanks for caring for Nigeria
