Peter Obi is a scholar (book smart) but Tinubu is practical (street smart). People know Peter Obi to be a "Warehouse Economist" and "Statistician" while Tinubu on the other hand is known as a "Master mind". 

In Nigerian politics, street smarts beat book smarts - same applies to business. Peter Obi ran a state for 8 years but Bola Tinubu ran both a state and a country 23 years before becoming President. 

When comparing Peter Obi's legacy to Bola Tinubu's, you would need just a ruler to measure Peter Obi's achievements in centimetres but when measuring Bola Tinubu's legacy, you would need measuring tapes to measure Tinubu's achievements in meters.  

The records are clear. Both leaders were governors at the same time. Some attribute Tinubu's success in Lagos to the state's geo-economic advantage - if that were so how did Cross Rivers become a beautiful state during the same period and why couldn't Anambra state compete with it? 

The difference is clear. Bola Tinubu is more attractive. Peter Obi's reputation rely solely on his empathetic nature and humility which is a good thing but largely irrelevant in Nigerian politics.

To rule a State, you must put your empathy aside and become a business man. If you want to rule a Country, you must put your empathy aside and become a war lord. 

Flying commercial planes to prove you're prudent doesn't guarantee you have the ability to run a nation - but having the required knowledge of your country and it's sentiments does guarantee.  

Even with a library of knowledge and facts from the internet, you will still make mistakes at Presidential level if you don't understand the street's language. 

Based on what's been said, Tinubu is the better option to continue running Nigeria.

Except you have high feever, there is no way in this life you will associate Obi with intelligence not to talk about book intelligence. Person wen de book intelligent go get the kind WAEC result wen he get, go study philosophy and come out with 3rd Class or 2nd Class lower depending on who you ask...

He is neither book nor street intelligent. The only area he seems to be very good is in doing condolences.

If you are talking of book intelligence smart, go and look at Tinubu's Richard Dale;s College transcript, na A and B full am. Also check his CSU testimonial, you go respect Tinubu as a first class brain.

tinubu has ruined Nigeria totally.

tinubu is only using the wealth of Nigeria as a weapon against the masses, using bribery and intimidations to coerce the governors and fellow politicians to join his terror team of poor government.

PETER OBI is a quinssential leader, when he assumes office you will see the difference between a compassionate and consummate knowledgeable leader and a crafty manipulative pretender.

Scholar? Please what's your definition of scholar? Peter Obi as a scholar, as how now

To those arguing about the intelligent part, haha, na how much dey you bank account with your intelligent. You can't be a dummy and be a billionaire like Peter Obi, politics aside

In all honesty, Obi has never shown he is intelligent. Ask him simple question you see him beating about the bush. Can anyone show me any intelligence statement obi has made. An intelligent person does talk at all times. Obi is not intelligent at all. Ask him how he wants to fix a problem, he will begin to mention China, India etc and at the end of the day the statistics he brings out are inaccurate. Please stop hyping him. He is not what you are saying. Your statement is an insult on reasoning.

💯,

I love challenges like this. This is the video of Tinubu meeting with the business community just before 2023 election, while unintelligent folks were sharing videos of ba bala blu, the business community were nodding their head in satisfaction when he was outlining his policies to them.

But the vide did not gain traction then because the opposition diid not want people to see it, instead they were sharing him licking microphone and other mis steps.

How is Peter Obi book intelligent ?

He has never displayed any form of intelligence.
You can call him someone loved by some people for some kind of reasons. But never intelligent.

F00l!sh analysis but at least truth is coming out gradually even though no one needs your whorthless validation to call black, black or white, white. Hypocrisy of an agbado mentality since you lots thought others are as blank as you are. From your claim that P.O is a third class and now book intelligent just to suite a blank narrative abi?

Can you tell us a single investment owned by your certificate forger drug lord prior to becoming lagos state governor? can you compare P.O with your drug lord in any practical ramification? it's a degrading to the person of P.O to draw comparism between him and agbero chairman and criminal grab it and run away criminally minded man like that.

Nigeria the spoil, una dey here the measure diks. 4 wasted years already. which way?

I have never mentioned Tinubu in my comment. I don't know wether is he is intelligent or not . L leave that for you to judge.But check:
Again, Mr Peter Obi has been caught lying.

CHARLES KAYE OKOYE: ChatGPT, please Does India have any backup option in case there is electronic transmission of election results failure, OR DID PETER OBI LIE?

CHATGPT: Short answer: yes—India has multiple built-in backup options, and they’re mostly offline by design.

Here’s how it works 👇

Primary safeguard: physical records (not electronics)

India’s election results do not depend on electronic transmission in the way many people imagine.

Votes are cast on Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) that are not connected to the internet or any network.

After polling, EVMs are sealed and stored physically in strong rooms under security.

Counting is done locally at counting centres, not via remote transmission.

So if electronic communication fails, results can still be declared normally.
---

VVPAT: the ultimate backup

Each EVM is paired with a VVPAT (VOTER VERIFIABLE PAPER AUDIT TRAIL) device.

When a vote is cast, a paper slip is printed and shown to the voter.

These slips are stored securely.

If there’s any dispute, mismatch, or technical concern, paper slips can be manually counted.

Courts have also mandated that VVPAT slips from selected booths are routinely cross-verified with EVM counts.

---

No “single point of failure”

Even if:

computers at a counting centre fail, or

electronic consolidation systems go down,

officials can:

manually enter results, or

recount using VVPAT slips, or

recount EVM units booth-by-booth.

All of this is done under the supervision of candidates, observers, and the Election Commission of India.

---

Bottom line

India’s election system is intentionally low-tech at the critical stages:

No live electronic transmission of votes

Physical custody of machines

Paper trail as a fallback

Manual counting always possible

So even if electronic systems fail, the election result process does not collapse.

If you want, I can also explain why India avoids internet-based voting 🌍

CHARLES KAYE OKOYE: Let proponents of NO PROVISO mention just one country STEWPID ENOUGH to believe that technology CAN NEVER FAIL, and doesn't have option, in the case it does, even in one out of a million polling units.

Nigeria is doing the same Electronic Transmission, yet, like every other country, will have backup for the obvious reason that technology can also fail somewhere.

These are the same people who never stopped calling Nigeria a shithole, where nothing ever works, not power, not Internet, NOTHING!

Suddenly, they consider Nigeria the best country in the world, where internet works perfectly, and never fails. The best country in the world, where no single community exists without internet.

Where rain, if it does fall heavily on the election day cannot even affect internet.

It is well.

Senate will always do it research, take informed position, irrespective of the emotions of ignorant people.

See how the master-mind who you claim is street smart has successfully masterminded the destruction of the economy by running the entire country street.

You mean Bala-Blu-Bulaga is intelligent. Please, start writing your own dictionary.
Someone sank Nigeria economy into 35 years back, and tries to pull it back, you call him intelligent. Even Buhari who people call "dullardeen" is more intelligent than your Bulaba crooner.

Someone wrote this:
Honestly, Peter Obi is exhibiting crass insanity of the highest level. The administration of President Tinubu doesn't see him as a normal human being with mental intuition and capability to match the intelligence quotient of Ikeja LGA chairman who is more resource oriented than him.

To even pick from already prepared skit on paper effectively is difficult for somebody who is parading himself as a credible alternative to a first class orator. Obi is a complete write off and he doesn't what anything where intelligence is measured in politics.

Ideally, nothing is technically wrong with criticism, but many things are morally wrong with baseless criticism without any credible alternative. Peter Obi's unguided and unguarded speech lacks the basic elements of constructive criticism. It is a criticism that is based on hatred, tribalism, nepotism, barbarism and stupidity.

Unfortunately, Peter Obi hasn't proven to have any alternative recipes to what he has been an uninformed and uninterested critic of the administration of President Tinubu. It is not enough for Obi to condemn the government of President Tinubu when he hasn't proven to have any best alternative to his policies.

Anyone who watches and listens to Peter Obi will know that he has shallow brain that is being manipulated by tribal settings. What Obi is doing is not what credible opposition should do if truly he has the weight of a quality opposition. He has been playing tribal cards which are not going to make him the President of Nigeria no matter the extent of his cheap blackmail, deliberate falsehood, spurious and fictitious claims that mischievous propaganda.

Having said all of these, Peter Obi should be careful not to cross a dangerous red line with his unguarded utterances. He is the only opposition presidential candidate so far that is jam- talking carelessly without any aota of common etiquette. Whereas, he is no less valuable and politically relevant than Sowore who is more intelligent, knowledgeable, credible and important when we talk about quality opposition than him.

Peter Obi graduated with a third class in philosophy. That is by no means book intelligence. In can bet he applied to study a more academically demanding and prestigious course but couldn't meet the requirement for the course and was then dumped in the philosophy department. Peter Obi and intelligence shouldn't be used in a sentence at all. He's the dumbest public figure in Nigeria's recent history.

OBI is book intelligent with a third class degree?
You must be joking.
Obi is a dunce.

Peter Obi is book intelligent because he reads books. His academics don't determine his intelligence - but rather how he applies the knowledge.

If you say Tinubu uses wealth as a weapon - that is street smart.

Obi is not practical enough to rule Nigeria. He has no street currency.

So Obi reads and he speaks the way he speaks? Then he needs to learn comprehension then and it did not show in his academics? This is even worse

Journalist: How will you fix the education sector if you become president?

Obi: Thank you very much for that question. Very easy. You see in Bangladesh, a girl can not marry until she is 18.

You are correct 💯😊. It is the reason he impoverished 60% of Nigerians within 1 year in office.

This is an intelligent analysis.

Peter Obi is practical in business - but his practicality in federal politics is limited.

Even in business - he can outsource the street sense that got him where he is today.


So brainstorm to stop having foolish instincts as well.

So if Peter Obi reads regularly, how come he has been relaying incorrect facts about issue? Like the venom , anti venom stuffs

Buhari and Tinubu have different intelligence.

Tinubu didn't sink the economy - he sank entitlements and greed.


Tinubu's policies feels "sinking " but it's restrategizing.
