Wow...David was a man after God's heart. A corollary I'll use here is that Peter Obi is a man after the downtrodden's heart.

God may have answered the prayer of Nigerians. Just waiting to see if Nigerian would squander the opportunity.

I've been wondering why Nigerian government realistically believes that the terrorist tag could stick on a man fighting to pull out of a union formed by terrorists. Yes, by terrorists.

I excuse the traditional African mindset of inability to think matters through critically and strategically. I've never heard the Nigerian government or the government of any former British colony in Africa refer to Britain as a terrorist country - which they were and perhaps, still are.

African tribes did not wake up one day and decided to form countries. Countries of Africa are ALL products of the whiteman's terrorism. Tribes and ethnic groups were killed, terrorized, dehumanized, cowed and subjugated before they were herded together into artificial contraptions of people who in some cases had never even heard of one another.

So the question is, if no one designates the British, the French, the Germans, Portuguese Spanish, Dutch and Belgians, who forged tribes into countries through bloodshed as terrorists, why do you designate a man or people who want to end what was formed through terror, oppression and bloodshed as terrorists?

Perhaps it is the same old African psyche of deference that whatever the whiteman has decreed is sacrosanct. That mental laziness of the African that keeps him bound in a cycle of opinion formed in the heart of other races whom he considers superior.

Who says that what the whiteman has done cannot be undone, irrespective of how disfunctional it is? Who says Tutsis must be in Rwanda, Uganda and Burundi? And who says the Hutus must be in Congo, Burundi and Rwanda?

Who says Africa's resources of silver, gold, copper ivory or oil must be exchanged for paper? Who says the African must not have a mind of his own?

So between the colonialists who bound people through bloodshed and the people seeking to be unbound, who should be the terrorist?

Sad

Confused people those benue people. Theyll still vote another Fulani the way they did in 2015 despite several warnings. I pity them and all Nigerians if Atiku wins. The next wave of herdsmen massacres would be on a biblical scale.

This reminds me of the book: The Man of The People

Peter Obi is a blessing

What i like about Obi is that he's been consistent in identifying with the poor and afflicted. Both as governor and now.

LegendHero:
Peter Obi already dropped 5million.

The weray hypocrite even wore Labor party crested shirt to the place after initially lying he stopped campaign.

Ever since Benue state have been witnessing tribulations, killings, and etc. Obi Pandora never donated to the state in the past few years of them witnessing Fulani herdsmen menace, but suddenly sprang up and became father christmas dashing 5million eveb when he claimed he no dey give shishi.

Benue people enjoy the token 5million jare.

Okay, let's assume Obi hasn't donated to Benue victims of herdsmen killings. But he's still better than you that consistently defend the killers. He's also better than your Tinubu and Atiku that support the killers actively and passively respectively.

Annoying how this government misbehaving

SmartPolician:
The federal government can never win any case against Nnamdi Kanu because you cannot kidnap someone in another country and take him to court. That's outright abuse of due process. You cannot do today what Buhari did when he was a soldier - Nigeria is a democracy for God's sake!

However, they can continue to press charges against Kanu, but they must release him first and it should be established that he was released from DSS custody. Afterwards, you can press fresh charges and pick him up. That's the only way a judge can hear the case and continue litigation. I thought Malami was a reasonable man.

You only made half sense... Release and rearrest him on what grounds? That he's been reborn in Nigeria and committed fresh offense? So if they release him, it means he was not kidnapped?

No wonder kidnapping thrives under this government.

Intellectuall01:
What is the guarantee that, if they release him, he will not go back to his old ways? That is the problem on ground now.

And if he goes back to his old ways what's it to you. If Igbo are no longer interested in being in the same country with you must you keep them as a unity beggar? Black man with black sense. Were your ancestors Nigerians?

Mrshocker:
Let the Ipob get angry and order permanent sit at home
No election in south east!! LoL
Pity obi cry me a river

Politics 101

Are you a Yoruba man?

This is good news. So when are the Igbo going to expelled from Nigeria since their region isn't viable? Why do your region that is 'viable' cry the most when the prospect of Igbo exit is broached? The reason is obviously that as the parasite, you need Igbo who you're benefiting from. Typical parasite.

Aderewah:
The facts don’t lie

Good one. Example is better than precept. Peter Obi will make a great president. Perhaps this will be the very first time Nigeria would have a president.

For those asking why he hasn't started from Anambra, he is contesting for Nigerian presidency, not Anambra presidency. It's logical that he visits all the affected states around the flood plains of the Niger and Benue.

blancsn1:
Foolish Igbo them no loot Abia Enugu Imo Anambra Ebonyi yet they remain the shithole all you foolish igbos can't wait to escape from.

Yoruba head slamming imp has spoken. Expertise in denying reality
Lovers of injustice and cheating

Always having governors who loot at dash away state funds.
Amaechi practically single handedly funded Buhaei's election in 2015. What has Rivers gained?

Wike has been funding PDP and doling out donation after donation to northern states to become president. Now he's been sidelined with nothing to show for being a father Christmas.

ODILI's own case with EFCC is see no evil, talk no evil. Rivers is another mini Nigeria. A land of divide and rule. No wonder corruption and leadership foolishness thrives.

Mrfixitt:
Only a witch will chose darkness over light. Peter Obi is the best

Are you calling Yoruba muslims witches?

This is bad. The organizers cashed out from the bullion van master but decides to cheat the poor women. This is similar to the cheating Nigerian masses suffer from crooked politicians.

Vote Peter Obi to avoid this sort of mass cheating for another 8 years.

After their tenures, which other state governors had clean records like Peter Obi? I need an authentic list of governors whose records are clean. I mean those that were not even invited by any of these agencies once.

ElSudani:
A reply for someone who doesn't know that Japan was never part of the Marshall Plan? Folks like you are hard to debate with because oftentimes you don't know what the heck you are talking about.

Any proof that Japan was NEVER PART OF THE MARSHALL PLAN, please?

owobokiri:
Typical Afonja! Comparing apples to oranges as usual. The US poured in billions of dollars of investments into Japan at the end of that war. The US refused to remove The Emperor of Japan as a mark of respect to the Japanese culture so they don't feel humiliated. The US practically cleaned up the two cities, got Japan into NATO, opened the borders for many Japanese to come and study and earn enough to help kickstart their dead economy post war and pushed forward the Marshall plan for rebuilding.... Essentially, The United States went out of her way to rebuild Japan so much so that in relative terms, just few decades after the war, the Japanese economy was competing neck to neck with that of the United States!

Now can you reel out the programs carried out by federal Nigeria to reintegrate the igbos into Nigeria post Nigeria vs Biafra war?? With excess oil receipts, where was the equivalent of the marshall plan? Gowon and Obasanjo were busy building up Lagos that saw nowar skirmishes while Eastern cities that were all carpet bombed were still in ruins. How many igbos, a major ethnic group in Nigeria, have been allowed into the power centers ever since? The Japanese run their country, are the igbos running their country? Any Igbo presidents of the country since the end of that war? Where are the economic policies unleashed by the federal government to rehabilitate the Igbo cities after the war? Which one single igbo city destroyed during the war was rebuild by federal Nigeria? Name just one!

Agbado muncher...elsudani. any response?

Someone has been directed to fire an employee who has been with the company for more than 40 years. The order is from top management and this person is wondering how to do this. Is there any procedure for the summary disengagement of someone in their 60s who seems to have spent all their working life in the company?

With the heavy flooding being recorded, what is the consequence if a high tension live line drops in the water? Will all the community be dead? How far would the impact and devastation be?

Imagine

Buhari is the solute

That may be the first phase to take over debtor countries.

That's so apt and nice.

A vote for Obi is a vote for the future.

Originalsly:
Do you really believe Kanu can retrieve the guns? These people have now roken up into gangs ... most of them criminal gangs....the real reason for attacking security forces. They do not want law and order... but to carry out their criminal activities without interference. How different are they from BH?... pretty soon they will control territories. They are now out of control..... Kanu has no say over them. Of he says the wrong thing....he will be history.

True, the criminals among them have gone haywire. I witnessed them shoot a POS operator. A Yoruba man in a robbery. Those may not be ESN but guns are in wrong hands

ArcFresky:
There is no ISWAP in SW.

I was told that 2 Yoruba people died just around my village. A youth corps member and a policeman. So insecurity in the East or North affects everyone in Nigeria

kingthreat:
Negotiate with cannibals that kill policemen and law enforcement? You know nothing about government or power. IPOB should never be negotiated with. Worst case situation, the East becomes another Borno state with IDPs. Las las, them go get sense.

ISWAP was born in lake Chad region but it's now in Yorubaland. I understand that your hatred for Igbo won't let you see that there is no way you'd be safe with crises in the East. Even you could catch a bullet down the line.

Mercury12:
Don't delude yourself. That is why dem tell u say make no start watin u no fit Finnish. With thousands of weapons in the hands of criminals and no job I think the east is in for a long ride except the people come together with one mind and stop it..
It more than just KANU now. It only gonna get worse if the people don't take a stand. The problem they neither here or there

You're daft in your illusion. Are the thousands of weapons in the hands of herdsmen killing only northerners? Is ISWAP and Fulani militia not kidnapping and killing people in MB and SW? Your foolishness as Nigerians is in the belief that some imaginary boundaries exist to limit the killings in one region. BH started killing in NE. Today all Nigeria is a killing field so it MUST get to wherever you are unless something is done about it. That's why if you people have sense, you start by electing leaders with sense. The bullet kills according to fate.
