I remember very well in 2023 that many Yorubas voted for Peter Obi; in fact, my best friend (a Yoruba man) almost got himself in trouble because of his support for Peter Obi in Oyo State in that election.

I live in the diaspora, and I have been helped tremendously by Igbo people, so much that I gave one of my children an Igbo name even though I am Yoruba (from Ibadan, Oyo State, "Agbo-Ile Aremo" ).

I strongly believe that Peter Obi is the best candidate of all the prominent contestants we have right now, for three major reasons.

1. He's the cleanest of all (I am not saying that he's a saint).
2. He's going to give hope to Nigeria that our vote can truly count, and that the people have the power to chart the course of the future of our nation.
3.You cannot clean up a dirty plate with a dirty rag.

Now, I have had many issues with the way Igbos insult Yorubas, calling us all kinds of names; it grieves me so much because, after supporting an Igbo Presidential Candidate so much in 2023 (I speak for many Yoruba people in Nigeria), the least we would expect from Peter Obi supporters who are Igbo is to at least acknowledge the fact that Peter Obi wouldn't have gotten the votes he got in 2023 if not for the contributions of Yorubas (and other ethnic groups), especially the votes he got in the South West.

Tinubu doesn't represent all Yorubas, and yes, I understand the sentiments of his (Tinubu) supporters; I mean the ones that are not doing it for the money. I understand that tribe can be of significant importance when choosing one's leader, just that some of us have seen/grown beyond that.

This is a call to all Igbo Peter Obi supporters to please tone down their hateful words towards the Yoruba people; evil doesn't have a color or tribe; evil deeds are individual-based.

As I said earlier, I believe that Peter Obi is the best candidate, and I gave him my support in 2023. I just don't understand why Igbo Obi supporters direct so many hateful words at Yorubas.

It would be difficult for any candidate to win this election without the support of a prominent tribe like the Yorubas. Why sabotage your own goals?

Oga try to understand that obedient do not represent igbo, there are obidients that are not igbos and that do not resort to verbal attacks but are rather constructive in their judgements. Look pass the insults and do wat u know and think is right.

How can someone who can't even define the duty of the presidency be the best amongst the rest

How can a notorious, perpetual liar have any edge over other candidates

The delusional land the Obidients have been living, I heard things are free there

I dare this op to discuss any sector in Anambra state which Peter Obi performed better. You are free to pick any sector

Are you people not even listening to yourself or what

Peter Obi is an Igbo and IPOB project

The Agulu Fraud Will Never Become The President Of Nigeria

Gaslighting from the usual quaters.

The fraud took $30m of anambra state money, invest it in brewery.

The company gave him 15% bonus shares which he in turn gave the state 10% and took 5% for his family.

Peter Obi is not the best. Far from it. He is the worst. A proper diasporan would know that based on the assumption you should understand the Diaspora works well on set premises like efficient tax collection, aiding infrastructural development , healthcare delivery, social services, communal maintenance etc,

Values Tinubu has traditionally being strong on from his days as Governor that Obi lacked and could not even identify.

PBAT was first Governor since 1999, go and verify, to go to the bond market to raise funds for infrastructural development of Lagos rather than approach Abuja and OBJ with begging bowl as all other Governors dedicated themselves to doing.

Even with allocation forfeiture, Tinubu innovatively kept Lagos moving forward increasing IGR, security and public service tremendously with LAWMA, LAMATA, LASTMA etc

Obi is a romanticised fantasy with no substance whatsoever.

These are simple algorithmic comparisons showing who can do what and who can deliver Nigeria.

I am Yoruba and a Diasporan, like you also, but back in Nigeria running a few businesses as many of us have moved back to operate because the environment is becoming more sane and opportunity-laden thanks to the policies and reforms of PBAT.

I get extremely disappointed when I read from some of you in the diaspora because it appears you don't appreciate the discipline it has taken to get the diaspora nations we live in, the UK for example, to get where they are.

What was Obi's efficacy per tax collection as Anambra Governor whereas the world knows Tinubu was virtually best in Nigeria , especially taxation of businesses with funds being deployed to develop Lagos.

He has taken that to national level today to address how Nigeria has one one the lowest tax to GDP ratio in the whole world!!! Can you imagine !!!

Biggest black nation on Earth, with over 230 million people, meaning huge public service sector needs, yet tax verification and payment needed to pay for public service negligible and perhaps not significantly greater than what a nation like Ghana, of 33 million people, collect as tax because of the gross inneficiency in the tax collection system of Nigeria !!!

Bro, if we miss out on Tinubu we are screwed. He is the only one, for now, who can keep us moving towards attaining the developed status of the diasporan nation you live in right now.

The others, especially Atiku, only wish to deliver a nation where we are are all addicted to and incapable of moving away from crude oil giving us cheap fuel and abject lives we somehow interpret as Okay, because Nigerians in Nigeria do not know better. Only Tinubu wants to bell the Cat and I am disappointed a Diasporan, I assume is at least comfortable, cannot note this.

PAYE, Capital gains tax, etc collected efficiently in the diaspora at source paying for efficient social services.

Nigeria, it is negligible, corrupt and slack collection of all forms of taxes everywhere bar Lagos courtesy of Tinubu. How do we develop rejecting that man and his template for Atiku pledging to return us to fuel subsidy and welfarist communism?

Is the thinking and plans of Obi and Atiku what is developing the Diasporan nation you live in or the fiscal discipline of Tinubu we must bear with that made Lagos six biggest economy in Africa as an opposition to the ruling PDP Party then?

I apologise on behalf of right thinking Igbos. You need to understand this is election period. All manner of people are paid to spew hate on the internet inorder to stir up division and ensure bad leaders remain entrenched. I had a similar sentiment. Since I came to.Lagos, I haven't dated a fellow Igbo mainly because my observation is that Yoruba women are better brought up and fit my model of what a woman should be. But the 2023 elections made me question whether we could ever be one. But here's the thing, you need to develop the mental toughness required to see past the propaganda and come to the truth. Which is that the hate online is artificially generated.

I am not a "woke Yoruba". I deal with facts, not sentiments.

I'm not claiming that Peter Obi is a saint, but even the d*vil knows the alternatives are corrupt elements.

You can't give what you don't have. There is no way Tinubu can put an end to what made him!

Nigeria is a game its awfully fun. You let a person that will you look in the eyes and say "we don't sell our daughters but you cant marry her unless you pay pay pay. See how we are so humble and respectful. now prostrate to us. Beg and beg hard or you are not serious"

Run your country and they fully understand that its highly illegal in your own laws and constitution yet the second you say no to any step of the process and will gaslight and insult you instantly instead of respect you and your decision. Basic human rights of dignity and the choice not to get on a dirty floor on your stomach. And think "wow, this man will have the best interests of other people and the country in his heart.

Chavvy thats comedy gold and the game you all play. With each other.........
