You're the one that need atom of sense. SE and SS have every reason to vote against Tinubu 100%! And they will.

SE and SS have not benefited anything from this poverty government. This same government has made anti Igbo propaganda its policy yet you want these same people to support him? Are you insane?!

Aside causing so much grief to all Nigerians, this government has continued to tactically oppress Igbos that dominate same SE and SS block yet you want us to support someone who has proven to be an enemy?!

The only thing that can save the iragbiji man now is massive rigging, the type that happened during Obasanjo era otherwise, he would be completely booted out before 12 noon on election day.

You even mentioned Wike to succeed him? You must be very high on some expired rubbish.

Rich4god:
If the SS and SE have an atom of sense, they should forget their difference and grievances with the SW(at least for now) and throw their support behind Tinubu.

Yes Tinubu did not start on a good note, but if you are a sensible Nigerian, you will see that some of his policies are good for this nation. Also some of his actions have dismantled some cabals holding this country to ransom.

Tinubu have done what some southern presidents haven't done and we all are seeing the reactions from the north.

From all indications, the north might try to make sure those policies didn't work or even try to make sure that Tinubu didn't win second term. And the north can't stop Tinubu second term except if the SE/SS backs them up. All these noise about the north deciding who wins an election is because one or two region in the south is supporting their candidates. The north alone can't deliver a president same way as the south alone can't.

For now, let the south come together and support Tinubu, later we can continue our tribal fight but if we want this country to have a little bit of development and peace, we need Tinubu to complete his presidency and if possible and another southerner with his ideology takes over from him. Somebody like Wike.

The audacity of some yorubas can be very annoying. Their brother is running an oduduwa government that favours only them yet he wants others that haven't benefitted anything to support him. To even imagine how he continues to promote anti Igbo sentiments and blackmail with daily propaganda against them makes me so angry.

The way he will lose woefully in the SE and SS will shock.

SmartPolician:
Dey play! Presidential elections are decided at state level, not in Abuja. It is what states declared that Abuja will work with. If a president isn't popular in a state, nobody will rig for him. Dem no born the person well, unless they deploy security operatives to rig for him.

As for the OP calling for SE/SS support, my prayer is for Tinubu to be kicked out before noon on the election day. There's nothing he's doing that anyone else cannot do. This country deserves a younger and more creative leader.

Are you joking? Yes, you must be joking!

The iragbiji is the most nepotistic president in the history of Nigeria. He has put only his tribesmen in all positions of authority and completely ignored SE and SS, yet you want them to throw their weight behind him? You see them as fools or what?

When Buhari was doing bigotry, he was even smart enough to carry other northerners along, but this one is even treating SE and SS worse.

If this is true and the victims happen to be innocent villagers, then I won't blame Northerners if they accuse the iragbiji man of ethnic cleansing. These same aerial bombardment of villages and massacring of villagers have happened in Kaduna, Sokoto and Zamfara etc in quick succession!

Coupled with his anti north policies and confrontations, it begins to appear highly suspicious 🤔

Delusional thread. Comments are so disconnected from the reality in Nigeria that you begin to wonder if these ones are living in an alternate universe.

In saner climes, if you're earning above minimum wage, you're considered relatively comfortable. Here in Nigeria, how much is the old minimum wage? How much is the new one Tinubu has refused to pay? Are they anywhere close to the amount the op quoted?

This is a country where less than 3% earns above 200k per month. Many bread winners even still earn below 100k and many others don't even earn anything at all.

Continue deceiving yourselves.

South West? Go back to sleep. The few cases of kidnapping recorded in SW in the past were even masterminded by your brothers. 2024 cases were even infinitesimal if it occurred at all

Sorry, you're the ignorant one. South West is not just the ritual capital of Nigeria but also the kidnapping capital of South.

After NW and NE, the highest number of kidnappings and consequent ransom payments occur in SW. Nobody who lives in Nigeria and is fully informed will argue these facts!

There is only one Ohanaeze president, the one elected in Enugu, which is the headquarters of Ohanaeze. Rivers state government sent a delegation to Enugu for the election other delegates also arrived from all other Igbo states across SE, SS and NC.

It's even amusing how the same Ikwerre where some of them habitually claim not to be Igbo are now the ones dying to be Its president. Anyways, they should grow up and act maturely or be called to order. Ohanaeze is the Apex Igbo cultural organisation worldwide and can't be drawn into all these childish tantrums by some ikwerre renegades. Delta state has more diverse Igbo tribes than Rivers state if I'm not mistaken yet their tenure was so smooth and Ralph Uwuechue was a dignified man.

Because your lives are the cheapest and least valuable.

Have you ever heard Peter Obi say pim about the way you're killing yourselves in Anambra?

Do you have sense at all? I asked you and the senseless dofos that conjured up this fake news, is 39 million naira up to the amount paid weekly in Zamfara state as ransom? Kidnappers and terrorists now run parallel governments in several northern states but relatively peaceful South East is where you all focus. Your lives must be absolutely worthless then.

Do you even know the amount of people kidnapped on Lagos Ibadan expressway everyday? Do you know the amount of ransom yorubas are paying across the South West?

Zoo Republic indeed!

The mods should immediately take down this fake news. That's why I love twitter, they would have notified everyone through community report that this is fake news and shouldn't be taken serious.

What is 39 million naira compared to the billions being paid in the North West, North East and South West States??

Thewrath:
In an attempt to paint the SE as unsafe,you have forgotten that they kidnap and kill in thousands in the north! Some communities and local govt in the north are controlled by terrorists!

They're very stupid with that fake news. Actual facts have proven that more ransom is paid in Zamfara state than the entire SE. Kidnapping is occurring in industrial scale in the North West where entire communities are often kidnapped on a regular. Also, more ransom is paid in the South West than South East yet this foolish tabloid is reporting rubbish 🗑

The ritualist might be a migrant from the skull mining region of Nigeria, particularly Ogun state.

I seriously hope that Imo state is one of the 3 states he mentioned. Aside an artificial lake in Owerri, Oguta already has a beautiful natural lake and environment. He only needs to invest in a portion because another investor is there too. He has the expertise and resources to bring worldclass tourism there.

SmartPolician:
Oga Paul, charity begins at home. Expand your business to your region. Hospitality business is thriving in Imo State.

Why not create an artificial lake in Owerri and build a tourist centre in your home state. You invest your money elsewhere, a government comes and ruins everything.
