1nice:
Let’s stick to the discussion like you said. The topic is Obi’s competence, not my ability to find YouTube links at 1am.

Provide video or it didn’t happen: That’s not how facts work. If I say 'Tinubu said subsidy is scam in 2012', I don’t need to drop video instantly or the quote becomes false. It means I should provide source later. You also said 'Kanu would have been hanged for EndSARS' - where’s your video/court verdict for that? We’re both guilty of 'no video yet.

Farmers will suffer because food price is coming down: That’s economics 101, not gaffe. If food price crashes below cost of production, farmers plant less next season = future scarcity. Buhari’s CBN, World Bank, and FAAN have all warned about that. You can disagree with Obi’s solution, but calling it 'no clue about governance' is wrong. It’s literally Agricultural Economics 101.

No record of him answering governance questions accurately: There are hours of Obi town halls, Arise TV, Channels, BBC interviews from 2022-2023 where he broke down debt profile, subsidy, power sector, agric. You may disagree with his answers, but 'no record' is false. 'No convincing record to you' is opinion.

Can’t handle party heat, will run from insecurity: Yar’Adua was called 'sickly, can’t handle stress'. He did Niger Delta amnesty. Jonathan was called 'clueless'. He reduced BH territory in 2015. 'Handling heat' ≠ competence. Results do.

So instead of 'provide video or shut up', let’s debate: Which Obi policy on security, economy, power do you think will fail and why? That’s the real discussion. Video hunt is distraction."

Can you see the glaring mischievousness in your epistle.

Why is it hard for any of you Obidients to provide a video where your principal is asked about the position he's aspiring for and answered coherently.

Would you as an employer employ someone who does know the basic role of his duty

Your pride mind is deceiving you.

Let’s stick to facts, not 'epistle/mischief':

Tinubu didn’t grant live interviews before 2023: True. He did Chatham House, BBC, Arise, but avoided town halls. Nigerians still voted based on track record as Lagos gov + party manifesto + VP debates. Nobody asked 'no video = no competence' then. So why is the rule different for Obi? If 'track record + policy' was enough for Tinubu, it should be enough for Obi too.

Provide video of Obi answering governance coherently: Obi did Arise TV 15 Aug 2022, Channels Town Hall, BBC HardTalk, 20+ interviews 2022-2023. He broke down debt-to-GDP, subsidy removal timing, power sector unbundling, agric value chain. You can disagree with his answers, but 'no coherent answer' is false. 'No video you’ve watched' is true for you. That’s different.

Employer won’t hire someone who doesn’t know duty: Correct. Good employers check CV + past job performance, not just interview vibes.
- Tinubu’s CV: 8 years Lagos gov, IGR grew 10x, BRT started.
- Obi’s CV: 8 years Anambra gov, left ₦75bn cash + investments, Anambra was 1 of 3 states not borrowing for salaries 2014. That’s audited 'duty performance'.
Interview is 1 hour. Governance is 8 years. Which is better CV?

Glaring mischievousness: The mischief is applying 2 standards. If 'no live interview' didn’t stop Tinubu, then 'I haven’t seen Obi’s video' shouldn’t stop you from checking his record.

So answer this: As employer, will you reject a candidate with 8 years audited success but few interviews? Or hire someone with good interview but no executive record?"

Let me clear my throat 1st "cough" "cough"
