If you're not a northerner and the northerners like you politically, check yourself.

More videos from X.

Re: Why Do Northerners Dislike Peter Obi So Much? by Goodvibes007(op): 9:03pm On Jun 02
So many videos circulating on X.

Re: Why Do Northerners Dislike Peter Obi So Much? by Goodvibes007(op): 9:04pm On Jun 02
Peter Obi is being tagged "Biafra" by many northern voices.

Re: Why Do Northerners Dislike Peter Obi So Much? by Goodvibes007(op): 9:06pm On Jun 02
This one seems exaggerated but do northerners care?

Re: Why Do Northerners Dislike Peter Obi So Much? by Enugurangers: 9:07pm On Jun 02
Too bad. And campaign has not even started proper. Those Peter Obi'religeous war tapes against muslim would be played before or after their call to prayers in the North. I hear posters of Peter Obi holding Hero beer are being printed as well.

Oh well. It is what it is.
Re: Why Do Northerners Dislike Peter Obi So Much? by LibertyRep: 9:11pm On Jun 02
Same way his people hated Buhari even in death and never hid it.

Some will like you and some will hate you, even when you have done nothing to them.

The Agulu fraud is not worth liking. He’s a ridiculous homo. A bad omen and a certified failure. A religious war bigott..

Lol

They’ll soon start remembering saudauna, just wait for it..

Anybody that understand Nigeria would know that Obi can never become a president of this country..

The moment he was caught with that war tapes, it was the end of the road for him..

Because leadership in Africa is viewed as turn by turn. Happens at the village level, where the chief is rotated among the various royal 'families' for peace to reign, happens at national level, because Nigerians...and that includes Obi supporters and tinubu supporters all see their man as a source of money.

Every tribe in Nigeria does it. And if you think it is a Nigerian thing, read this book...It is our turn to eat.

That is how tinubu came to power. It was his turn to eat, and that is how all Nigerian leaders came to power, and will continue to come to power. Because that is the attitude of most Nigerian people. Poverty has reduced us to looking at development as a means of chopping money, not as a means of stimulating industrial growth and development.

Saying the above means in some people's mind that I am supporting tinubu...because people do not like to hear the truth. That the obidient is just like the tinubu supporter, like the atiku supporter, etc.

Nigerians do not like the truth. The cold truth is that whether we remove or replace emilokan, and we should remove him, (and saying we should remove tinubu and vote Obi means I am an tinubu supporter, according to people like Severussnape, lol)....Nigeria is not going to change. Because people look at politics as taking turns to eat. Obasanjo was voted in on the principle of 'it is yourba people';s turn to eat...same with Yaradua, same with GEJ...it was the south's turn to eat...same with Buhari, same with tinubu. And Nigeria continues on the line of underdevelopment

I am going to vote for Obi next year, not because I am convinced that he would change Nigeria, but because i have no choice but to do so. All we have left is to use our vote to punish the elite every four years. Because as far as I am concerned, Nigeria will never progress until we stop seeing government and development as 'free money'.

And if we split the country the same issue. Biafra will not be the japan of Africa because no Biafran leader is going to start with the hard measures Japan took to become developed. The raison d'etre for biafra was and is...oil money, just as the raison d etre for Nigeria is oil money. When it is all about how much we can chop...development will not happen.

That is why all subsaharan african countries are broke. Most people, including the whites , are in it to chop, not to develop. When we stop chopping and start using our resources to do good for the world, we will see progress.

It's effing upsetting to me that our leaderhsip has been bad and will continue to be bad. God help this country.

Whether you vote for Obi or not, bandit will not kidnap Obi, kill him or demand Ramson.

Allow religion and tribalism beclouded your sense of reasoning.

Whether you like it or not, Obi is the only candidate that save you from bandit, Boko Haram and other criminalities. He will revive the economy.

Vote with sentiment and suffer more.
Re: Why Do Northerners Dislike Peter Obi So Much? by chatinent: 9:42pm On Jun 02
Northerners don't care whether the terrorism is killing them or not. So far you share their beliefs, go for it. They will support you. Even as Fulani bandits are decreasing their numbers, their elites will keep sponsoring them and ensuring you MUST not complain and keep voting them.
Re: Why Do Northerners Dislike Peter Obi So Much? by bigwig071(m): 9:49pm On Jun 02
Why is Peter Obi held to a different standard? Democracy is about policies, competence, character, and vision—not ethnic assumptions.

While some people are busy demanding endless clarifications from Obi, where is the outrage over the insecurity crippling our country? Just recently, 40 school children and their teachers were kidnapped—a tragic reminder that Nigeria’s real crisis is insecurity. Parents live in fear, schools are under siege, farmers cannot go to their farms, and innocent citizens are constantly terrorized. Instead of creating suspicion around Obi, political commentators should be demanding answers and action from those responsible for these crimes.

Nigeria needs action against kidnappers, bandits, and terrorists—not endless political distractions. Remove these criminal elements from our forests, highways, and communities so Nigerians can live, work, and travel in safety. That is what matters.

The real issues are clear: insecurity, unemployment, inflation, poverty, corruption, failing infrastructure, and declining quality of life. National unity is built on fairness, justice, and equal treatment, not by questioning one candidate endlessly while ignoring the same questions for others.

Every candidate should be judged by the same standard. If Peter Obi’s vision appeals to voters, they should support him. If not, they are free to vote for someone else. That is democracy in action.

Nigeria doesn’t need more ethnic suspicion or political distractions. Nigeria needs leaders who can solve real problems. Until we demand that, our children, schools, and communities will continue to suffer.

Let’s stop wasting energy on assumptions and start focusing on results. That is the Nigeria we all deserve.

Please free our children and let them go home 🏠

Hahaha Agbado go wail tire…as at today Obi cannot even move freely in the north due to thousands of crowd chanting his name every where. You don’t need a soothsayer to know Obi is winning 2027. This US issue about Nnamdi Kanu shows you they are not ready to fold their hands with britain and allow mandate failure rig again
Re: Why Do Northerners Dislike Peter Obi So Much? by helinues: 9:57pm On Jun 02
The issue with Obi is he doesn't know how to play rugged politics. There is nothing like I no dey give shishi In politics, if you visit the emirs without dropping reasonable royalty, just forget it

The factor of money spending can't be underestimated in politics. You need the chest to spend

That was what the former deputy governor under peter Obi said till I.P.O.B got him.
Re: Why Do Northerners Dislike Peter Obi So Much? by Ibrahimcoomasie: 10:07pm On Jun 02
Anyway, OP
We do not like him because he is a t.r.i.b.al. and religious b.i.g.o.t.

As for kwankwaso, he just ended his political career in Kano. Yes, in Kano because no one sends him outside Kano.

don't believe anything that comes from a tinibu supporter secondly, most of those people that are posing as Obi hater are from tinibu camp of lies and deceit.

No be today we the sane minds start to dey study and monitor them.
Re: Why Do Northerners Dislike Peter Obi So Much? by grandstar(m):
I have repeatedly said that core Northerners will never vote Igbo.

If this was America, the Southeast states would be Republican while the North would be Democrats.

Obi supporters refuse to accept this reality.

The only way he can get there is to serve as a vice to Atiku for 2 terms-that is if old age does not do its worst- and he climbs the saddle.

Re: Why Do Northerners Dislike Peter Obi So Much? by flokii: 10:29pm On Jun 02
The guy is a wicked tribalist.. forget all his fake display of humility.
He profiled Northerners in Anambra, forced them to wear ID cards and so many attrocities he committed, despite Anambra people living and moving freely in other parts of the country.

It takes someone with deep wisdom to know that the Agulu man reeks of pure evil.
