move on bro. Stop allowing Obi to live rent free in your head. Aso rock get solar and you no get...suffering should be your second name...
Oga I supported obi 💯 but since I discovered the game he is playing I decided to back out. Obi clearly knows he won't get any judgement from filing the case, same way he deceived me last presidential election. Don't be surprised he will come out VP candidate under ADC na dat time your eye go clear.

This is the unseriousness that you will continue to demonstrate until 2031 when Ribadu takes over.

Nigerians: Make electronic transmission of result mandatory !

Akpabio's Senate: We don't have network coverage everywhere in Nigeria.

Network Operators: We have covered every part of Nigeria and even the slowest internet category(GPRS) can do the work effectively.

Akpabio's Senate: No, we love Nigerians too much and cannot risk it.



Yet Jambites are forced all over the country to use the same network to gain admission into university.

Meanwhile:
Jamb is done in selected centres.

Same ADC that couldn't build standard website for her party dey call for real-time transmission of results.

Peter Obi should proceed to court by the time he reaches... By the time he reaches the Supreme Court, another election could have been concluded....

Keep wasting your time and be fighting your shadow... the court you proceeded to and you lost woefully when APC was out of tune with President Tinubu... Now that he is the coordinator of all the judiciary, you believe you could make sense.
Re: Peter Obi Vows To Challenge The Electoral Act In Court by Burruchaga71(m): 9:57am On Mar 08
I am beginning to like Peter Obi's boldness in telling them that 2027 will not be business as usual.

Bro maybe International court, not in Nigerian court. The Judiciary is the APC and ApC is the judiciary. Just make sure to create more awareness for yourself incase you don't win and see you in 2031 bro. These set of politicians will do everything in their might to stop you. Except God and Nature helps you. I see nothing you can do Obi.
Exactly 💯
But there is still hope. Nothing is impossible for God to do.

Good move from the man who truly wants Nigeria to move in the right direction but unfortunately, apc can't allow the court give you fair hearing.
We will FORCE them this time. Nigeria belongs to all of us .

Ode man,the constitution wey court go take give you verdict,who draft am?
pls how old are you?,you should be old enough to know that the court will judge based on the constitution and it is the same legislators that drafted the constitution that drafted the electoral act…data is cheap in Nigeria and that’s why every tom dick and harry comes online to present rubbish,anyway if Obi doesn’t know better,how can his followers know
So if the legislators prescribe death penalty for a kidnapper,you will go to court and challenge it to a bailable offence?,a new Nigeria is possible with these kind of thinking truly.
You want to do opposition and you can’t even think smarter than the ruling party,after you will start nsogbu eyinmba.is this the kind of sense that APC used to condemn PDP?
Ur. Mind is shallow.. Obi thinks faster than u...

Tinubu's hope is the court where he will do his magi magi..

I I wants to go there before hand to get the stupid interpretation that they will later create when e hook them..

Let it be their word against their word.. the first time he used INEC's guidelines against INEC, court said, NO! They have the final word...

So now he seeks courts word against courts word.. that is the simple logic not challenging to change the electoral laws...

He will seek interpretation up until supreme court.. so the final interpretation can be read and stored by every Nigerian..

Not when cases start after ojoro, they will gang up at the supreme court and forge interpretation...

This is a very smart move

An extraordinary serial party hopper and ideologically bankrupt politician masquerading as a credible alternative, when in reality he is just a flash in the pan, grandstanding and pandering to the gallery to keep his deluded supporters comforted with illusions.

The thing is you have money and have a lovely family, go and enjoy your money. Nigeria isn't for you grin

I was actually taking you serious, until you decamped to ADC. only you Apga, PDP, LP now ADC. I don't trust politicians that do that, they got no ideology.

Na anywhere belly face...... sad grin

I wouldn't be shocked one day he enters APC , and trust me, he has the tendency to do that
See that your last paragraph, I am telling you now for free that it will happen.

Wait till North does their 8 years, our friend is going to make his way to APC knowing fully well that it will be Ndigbo's turn.

Of course, either Prof or Bianca would kick his butt in the Primaries after which Obidients would be back to their usual mode of abuse and insults, this I have seen.

Obasanjo never left PDP, Yardua never left PDP, Goodluck is still in PDP , Buhari was in ANPP , left to form CPC , formed a coalition of parties , which included the ANPP he left to oust PDP . Tinubu left AD and formed ACN , formed a coalition to oust PDP . They have all shown a particular consistency in their political journeys . Not Atiku and Obi . If ADC loses in 2027 . It will scatter . APC fought like hell to remove PDP. These ones are asking the journalists to be the opposition . This Obi is saying he is going to court to challenge the electoral Act .

This particular man called Obi irritates me now with his statement . A man who had LP members in the National Assembly and senate , lost majority of them , kept quiet while others were fighting for result transmission that forced the senate to return it but added manual in case transmission failed , is suddenly out to talk about going to court . Take this visionless man seriously at your own risk.

Jamb don’t conduct exams everywhere, they only conduct it where facilities are available. You have no idea how far some aspirants have to travel to take the exam. Even with that, some centers still have issues.

Read what u wrote...

U are just a born , any where belle face.. how can u accuse obi of being quiet during electoral act struggle.. how can u accuse obi of not forcing the desperate HOR or senate members of LP to stay in their party...

U are just looking for anywhere to hold hand and criticize Obi

Meanwhile:
Oga rest both individual have their strong points and have proved it , fiscal discipline obi is good, while economic growth and development is tinubu .

If you look at independent data-based performance indices comparing their time as governors, most widely cited research tends to rate Peter Obi higher than Bola Ahmed Tinubu on certain development metrics — but the conclusion depends on which indicators you use.
1. Global development-index comparison (often cited online)
A study using data from Global Data Lab compared development outcomes in:
Anambra State during Obi’s tenure (2007–2014)
Lagos State during Tinubu’s tenure (1999–2007)
It examined indicators such as:
Gross National Income per capita
Human Development Index (HDI)
Life expectancy
Education index
Health index
Income index
Result:
The data showed Anambra under Obi performed better across the six indicators used in the analysis. �
Switch Nigeria +1
So on that “human development performance index” style analysis, Obi ranked higher.
2. Fiscal and economic management comparison
However, if you use economic transformation metrics, Tinubu is often rated strongly:
Tinubu (Lagos)
Increased Lagos Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) from about ₦600 million/month in 1999 to over ₦8 billion/month by 2007.
Built tax systems and institutions that made Lagos the richest state in Nigeria. �
X (formerly Twitter)
Obi (Anambra)
Focused on fiscal discipline and debt reduction.
Reportedly left office with over ₦75 billion in savings and investments and no domestic debt. �
X (formerly Twitter)
✅ Simple conclusion
Human-development and governance index comparisons:
→ Peter Obi rated higher
Revenue growth and economic restructuring:
→ Bola Tinubu rated higher
So the answer depends on what “performance index” you mean.

Age has nothing to do with understanding the law. We know how forgery of result from your same APC has already been legalised.

Also, comparing a constitutional legal challenge to changing a kidnapping law doesn’t even make sense. Courts review whether laws and processes were properly followed; that’s part of checks and balances.

And while you’re busy attacking people online, your entire communities are dealing with serious security problems. Places like Kwara and other northern states have been struggling with bandit attacks and rural insecurity, yet many of you same APC voices shouting online are quiet about that. If we’re going to discuss governance, then let’s talk about real issues affecting citizens too.

Disagreement is normal in politics. But reducing every discussion to insults and hating on other tribes especially when you called me nsogbu knowing fully well that there are 140 ethnic group in Nigeria only shows how tribalism has been entrenched into you. Hate for other tribes won't make you rich, the only thing you can get from it is staying on nairaland 247 without anything to show for it at old age.
