My Take On Peter Obi's Edo State Gunshot Attack by truthera(op):
I've read and watched videos circulate on various social media platforms showing how political thugs attacked and shot live bullets at Peter Obi and Odigie-Oyegun's convoy. Several online commentators are of the opinion that it was staged while others argue that it was real.... I may not be able to agree with any of the two postulations but what I am sure of is that Peter Obi as an igbo man will see more of such political attacks if he continues to push to rule the toxic divisive entity called one Nigeria... Obi should learn from Nnamdi Kanu's ordeal that those who believe they own Nigeria will not accept an igbo presidency, they will do all within their power, fight not to give him the political leverage even if he succeeds to evade these political attacks and emerge as his party's flag bearer in the next election..... He is going nowhere....

Nigeria is a nation built on deep injustice especially towards the igbos, Peter Obi will be wasting his time and risking his life unnecessarily for a lost political cause that will only end up frustrating him, that's if he does not end up as a necessary collateral damage for desperate Tinubu and his desperate APC 2027 election goons. Nigeria has made it clear that as long as national politics and presidency is concerned, the igbos are not welcome. If Peter Obi truly cares about Nigerians and want to make a big difference in their lives, the best he can do is to collapse his futile quest to rule one Nigeria and instead join the struggle to liberate his people from it.... All those political jobbers pushing him to recontest in 2027 knowing fully well he is an igbo man and has no chance to be declared winner, do not love him.... Obi has a huge following among the people of which he can put to better use by championing Nigeria's total decentralisation or disintegration instead of risking his life to keep the British contraption going....

Igbo presidency is a mirage....

Honestly you spoke from the heart, whether you are Igbo or not.
One funny thing about Nigerians, especially the youths is that they prefer chasing shadows, instead of defending and holding the elites to accountabilty and good governnace. No wonder Buhari called the youths "lazy youths".

The youth instead enjoy mediocrity, division, tribalism, religious divides and complete empty brohaha that leads nowhere, even when killings, deaths of a tribe or injustices is clearly involved. It's well.

One thing I am sure of is that all evil plans we wish on any tribe, instead of condenming the evil, then that evil will definitely return back to that group/tribe. What goes around comes around it's just a matter of time.

The betterment of this country relies on the youth, whether we like it or not.
Until this country begins to stand-up aginst, evil, marginalization, centralization of economy, killings, corruption, injustices, negative vibes, etc, then the country is on a long nose-dive to doom

Rest, Prof Soludo will rule over us for a good 8 years next time it comes round to the South.

Bianca will also rule over us in the Federal republic of Nigeria.

Neither of them would release Nnamdi Kanu, which is why you wrote your article.

Well written however the fact remains that whichever path he toes will still be a risk to his life especially as an igbo man.
It is his choice to choose whichever path that soothe him.

If Edo politicians have been playing such kind of politics before, then Obi might konbe the target

It is advisable that peter Obi withdraw from his inordinate desire to be president by any means possible...This is to avoid him being collateral damage...He should concentrate on buying groundnut by the road side or making eye service donations to numerous school.of.nursing across the country...

I have never batted for Umahi or Rochas. Ever since Prof dabbled into politics, I have been behind him 100%.

As I have said before, if President Tinubu can step down for him in 2027, I won't be upset at all.

We are overdue a Prof presidency, one that would hopefully build on what President Tinubu is doing. Even if he starts from scratch, I am very ok as I know us as Nigerians would benefit no how no how.

It is because of people like you that's why Nigeria needs to be restructured or divided so that you can rest....

Op and his senseless subtle clamor to get his tyrannical Onye Ndufu Kanu and Biafra nation by using any negative news against Igbos to whip up Igbo sentiments is so funny that he thinks it'll work.

After failing to destroy Nigeria by trying everything from calling for insurrection,coup and even Western powers to topple the duly elected government of PBAT, release Kanu and create Biafra for him. He now switched to his usual Igbo gaslighting by pointing at any negative news that affect any igboman.

Such a hopeless clown

Re: My Take On Peter Obi's Edo State Gunshot Attack by truthera(op):
It is foolish to think that my interactions here has any thing to do with destroying Nigeria when in reality it has already been destroyed by people like you and other fulani apologists who because of tribalism and disdain for igbos failed to hold your terrorist loving government, willing to destroy your own people just to spite the igbos.... What I do here is simply to share my opinion on how all well-meaning Nigerians can save themselves from this sinking ship.... Keep fooling yourself if that makes you happy as fulani terrorists kill and destroy your villages in the south west region.....
