Peter Obi made some serious claims here:

1. The University of Southern California has a faculty where everyone is an ex-convict (lecturers including professors)

2. He spent days with them

3. The dean of the faculty spent 28 years in jail

4. The registrar has spent years in jail as well

Ok, of what use is that to us?

Pious101:
Are U asking of what use is a model which he has observe?

If U had listen with open mind U will know that he is stating that going to prison shouldn't being the end of ones career, ambition or desire of what one should be.

He is stating that institution create an avenue where ex-convict who have been rehabilitated can also work within an environment without stereotype.

Now as a presidential candidate who have studied d model, he intend to introduce such a system in Nigeria.

It’s propaganda for his brother

CharlesCNG:
Peter Obi has a serious problem with careless exaggeration.

USC does have a Prison Education Project, where students and faculty engage incarcerated people through academic programmes. But that is not the same thing as claiming USC has a faculty where “everyone” is an ex-convict, with a dean and registrar who spent years in jail.

That is not analysis. That is storytelling without discipline.

A man who wants to be President must be careful with facts, especially when speaking publicly. Leadership is not motivational speaking. It requires accuracy, judgment and intellectual honesty.

This is the recurring problem: Obi hears a powerful anecdote, stretches it into a grand moral lesson, and expects applause before anyone asks for verification.

Presidents cannot govern by vibes, half-truths and emotional illustrations.

If you cannot describe a university programme accurately, how do you expect people to trust your description of national policy?
Anecdotes are not evidence, and exaggeration is not leadership.

And he does that alot.
I support OBI because I want Igbo president-NO PROBLEM

I support OBI because is is smart,intelligent and man of integrity with record of performance-YOU ARE A 419!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with saying, "I support Peter Obi because I want an Igbo President." That is an honest position. People support candidates for ethnic, ideological and regional reasons all the time.

The problem begins when supporters start selling him as some uniquely intelligent, infallible saint with unmatched integrity and then attack anyone who questions those claims.

No serious observer can honestly say Peter Obi has demonstrated exceptional judgment. A man who repeatedly exaggerates anecdotes, reacts before understanding issues, delegitimises institutions when they don't favour him, and whose supporters routinely substitute emotion for analysis cannot simply be declared a genius by decree.

As for "419", it means obtaining by false pretence.

And that is why critics argue that the Obi phenomenon has often resembled political 419: selling an ordinary politician as a messiah, marketing anecdotes as policies, and presenting hope as though it were a substitute for strategy and governance.

The issue is not that Peter Obi has supporters. Every politician does.

The issue is the false pretence that he is somehow above criticism, beyond contradiction and uniquely qualified by virtue of repeated assertions rather than demonstrated superiority.

A movement built on mythology eventually collides with reality.

And reality, unlike campaign slogans, cannot be shouted down.
There is nothing wrong with supporting your candidate.
The problem begins when marketing replaces scrutiny and hope is sold as competence.

Justnation:
I will add 1million to it if tinubu can speak coherently and give us a studied response to any issue either on local matters or international.
The man tinubu has nothing to offer, he is not even aware of his immediate environment

DomPerignon:
That's why I call him Pinocchio Obi

He can lie for no reason whatsoever.

A similar program is extended to Prisoners in Nigeria through the Open University scheme and the FG waives tuition fees for prisoners who enroll in Open University as part of their rehabilitation.

Truly , Pinocchio Obi does not know the country he wants to govern.

You have really impressed everyone with the new method you’re using to lodge your attack in order to meet our 66 times rate limit per day you must attack obi …. You’re doing well , kudos to your unemployment status, that must be the reason for that number

DomPerignon:
There's a reason why we refer to them as a cult.

The obidients tick every box and raise every red flag that shows they are personality cult following.

I will seriously advise Obi to open his own church around himself because that's the only way he can cash out with his cult following because the Presidency will never be realized with this his cult followers who have turned many sane people away from Obi. Not that Obi did not contribute his own fair share in exposing that he is indeed a vapid empty head fraud.
