[quote author=Penguin2 post=141114572]After Sen Kwankwaso visited Ilepo Market in Alimosho yesterday and was greeted by a sea of enthusiastic supporters, Peter Obi, today, visited the Tradefair Complex in Lagos and was greeted by even bigger crowd than experienced with Kwankwaso.

It’s obvious that Peter Obi will win Lagos again.

people and distorting history and claiming everything. the man must have been over 200 years old to have been a founder of Balogun markett and to just die in 2026

"Balogun Market was founded in 1815. Its history dates back to pre-colonial Lagos when a Nupe migrant and war chief named Okolo (Balogun Okolo) settled in the Olowogbowo area of Lagos Island and established a small trading post primarily for foodstuffs and household goods.
Over the decades, its evolution followed key historical shifts:
• The 1850s Transition: Following the British intervention in Lagos in 1851, the area transitioned away from early transatlantic trade routes into a legitimate hub for palm oil, agricultural commodities, and imported European textiles.
• Colonial Expansion (Late 1800s to 1920s): Because of its proximity to the Lagos ports, Marina, and Broad Street, the market grew exponentially during British colonial rule. By the 1920s, it formalised into a massive distribution center for textiles, evolving into what is now recognized as one of the largest fabric and fashion markets in Africa."

Why is Obi spending so much time visiting these areas? He and his handlers should be more concerned about organising aggressive grassroots sensitisation campaigns and rallies in states like Kogi, Niger, Kaduna, Adamawa, Gombe, Bauchi, etc.

These are the areas where the NDC needs to concentrate its efforts, build grassroots structures, expand its reach and develop concrete strategies for securing at least 25% of the votes.

What exactly is the strategic value of repeatedly visiting areas in Lagos where he is already well known and enjoys considerable popularity? At this stage, the focus should be on expanding the party's electoral footprint, not simply reinforcing support in places where it already exists. Gosh!

yarimo:
Hahaha OBI is now scared of stadium hehe TINUBU na una mate in politics ne 🤣🤣🤣

The crowd in that place is more than that of a stadium.... And they are not being coerced by 2,000 naira to come out and shout obi unlike the your principal rally where the people were being paid 2,500 naira to come out and show themselves to the cameras....this crowd is organic and this is a mammoth crowd

Yarimo and co will be crying and blowing catarh just because of thie crowd P.O and kwakwanso are pulling especially in Lagos.....

Are we talking about Balogun Market or Tradefair Market?

don't have a clue do you?
Be honest
As in you have no single idea that Balogun Market was founded by the Balogun of Lagos in the Early 18th Century

Trade Fair Market was founded and built by the Federal Govt

Trade Fair Market was founded and built by the FG to host the international Trade fair and it is still owned by the FG

Fashionista01:
Please shed your tears elsewhere not on my page.

Which page?! All these Obi's supporters, though. This is a public forum; you don't own any "page" here, man.

Meanwhile, Obi will never become president of Nigeria— it won't happen.

At least you have now realized that we are not talking about Balogun market.

Next time pay closer attention before rushing to type.

I’ll leave you to whoever you think owns Tradefair. I’m not your teacher so I won’t teach you.

Next time confirm the History before rushing to type and read the full post first

FG owns Trade fair and Lagos State owns the Land it is on and controls it

Cry me a River.

Niok:
ironic considering tinubu who got caught for selling white powder and had to forfeit
Thereby making him a felon
Come on you can browse it and check it yourself

Who did he sell the white powder to and who caught him?

When did he attain the felony status and which police department or court gave him that?

Why don't you stop writing things you hear in beer parlours from Obidients that are already drunk from bitterness and alcohol?

Go to naptu2's diary to check out the full unadulterated story on President Tinubu's forfeiture.

Ahhh, this should be the thousandth time you're making this statement under a month

Is there anybody on this forum (who isn't already an APC stooge) whom you haven't said the exact sentence in your prior post to? 🤔

Can you read your own post again?

“Funeral at trade fair for one of the founders of Balogun market”. See the tweeter post.

Did I say you made the tweet?

You posted the tweet. Whether or not you are the owner of the tweet.

Bottom line is you just displayed the exact trait of Obidients people talk about. If you were not aware of what was in e tweet you posted. Did not even read what you were posting to see if it made sense….just parked your brain!

That's harsh sha, na di message dem send am today from their WhatsApp group di persin come deliver for Nairaland.

Obidients are not encouraged to think in the manner you suggested. They won't be true Obidients if they could think for themselves.
