Johnjustice:
Labor party is an IPOB conspiracy to encroach and take over Nigeria, starting from Lagos, then to southsouth, remember ipob said they will start an online propaganda machine, they did with obidient mob. Look at southeast, no foreigners, no foreign direct investment, no development, no peace, a land of cannibals, is this what you want Lagos and your states to be like?

People emulate good things not backwardness and retrogression. These Ipobians are covetous people, they can not build their region, and are eyeing Lagos, portharcourt, calabar, and Benin. Be wise

Igbos are selling fake electronics, fake parts, carrying drugs everywhere, their girls are prostitutes, what's good in igbos to emulate and follow them?

khalling2008:
Not about being brainwashed but they don't have the brains to think for themselves.
They are very easy to scam by anybody, check all Ponzi scams in Nigeria, Igbo Christians were 98% victims

Check those people that the yahoo pastor was scammed, you will see Igbo Christians were 99% victims.

If Satan comes down and supports Biafra, 99% of igbo Christians will follow him.

If Jesus Christ comes today and supports Asiwaju, 99% of Igbo Christians will reject Jesus and follow satan.

ChukwuObe:
During the 2004 World Igbo Congress Convention in New Jersey, Chekwas Okorie, the then Chairman of APGA, told a few of us inside a hotel room what happened between him and Olusegun Obasanjo during the 2003 elections in Nigeria. Chekwas Okorie's story illustrated who Bola Tinubu, then governor of Lagos State, was and how he differed from Peter Obi.

According to Chekwas Okorie, in 2003, APGA won the election in four of the five Southeastern states. But the PDP rigging machine, now known as structure, rigged APGA's governorship candidates out. In those days of an unholy alliance between President Olusegun Obasanjo and INEC's chairman, Maurice Iwu, they wasted no time with sophisticated rigging methods. They simply wrote the desired results and handed them to INEC officials to announce.

When INEC announced the result of the 2003 elections, Chekwas Okorie went to Olusegun Obasanjo to complain. Obasanjo acknowledged the rigging and promised to hand two or three states back to APGA. He asked Chekwas Okorie to go and consult his party on which states he would like Obasanjo to hand over to APGA.

During the same election, PDP had plans to rig ACN out of the South West. As the results were being published online on the INEC website, all Southwestern states were falling to PDP. When the then Lagos State governor, Bola Tinubu, saw what was happening, he called President Obasanjo. He told Obasanjo that he had in his command 10,000 area boys with gallons of petrol ready to burn down federal government properties in Lagos if INEC announced that he lost to PDP.

In the words of Chekwas Okorie, Obasanjo immediately called Maurice Iwu and asked him to leave Lagos State alone. That was how Lagos state was left alone while other states in the southwest became PDP states.

Meanwhile, Chekwas Okorie returned to Obasanjo days after the election. He had consulted his party people and had chosen the three states he wanted Obasanjo to hand over to APGA. One of the states was Anambra State.

At this point, Obasanjo had seen that all was calm in the Southeast. The people had accepted their fate and moved on. Obasanjo told Chekwas Okorie off and asked him to go and do his worse.

This act of condoning the structure of criminality on the part of Olusegun Obasanjo gave Anambra State the governorship of Dr. Chris Ngige.

Another bombshell dropped a day after Chekwas Okorie told us the story above. In the same conference, Obasanjo's boy, Chris Ubah, acknowledged in front of Governor Chris Ngige and Anambra State indigenes that he was the person who wrote the results of the Anambra State gubernatorial election and handed over the paper to an INEC officer who read it out to the world. He pointed at Peter Obi, who was in the audience, and said, this was the man who won the election.

Peter Obi did not give up on his stolen mandate, unlike other APGA gubernatorial candidates in the other Southeastern States. He fought in several courts for almost three years. It calumniated in the court, kicking out Dr. Ngige as governor in March 2006. It did not end there. Enforcers of Obasanjo's structure of criminality did not leave Peter Obi to govern the state in one piece. The hoodlums who burnt down government offices and radio stations under Gov. Chris Ngige in November 2004 continued to attack. In October 2006, they burnt down the governor's lodge in Onitsha. It was part of well-orchestrated efforts by the same hoodlums enjoying the cover of then-President Olusegun Obasanjo to unleash mayhem on the state. Their suit-and-tie colleagues in the state house impeached the governor twice. Peter Obi survived all those attempts and became stronger in the end.

So, days after the 2023 presidential election, when Obasanjo walked out to make a press statement denouncing the conduct of the exercise, those of us from Anambra State had a different take on the words coming out of his mouth. To us, Obasanjo sounded like a man who had forgotten these incidents of the past. But the truth is that he did not.

In a leaked audio that Charly Boy initially denied but later confirmed, Obasanjo had wanted the musician to lead a protest in Lagos and Abuja against INEC's declaration of Bola Tinubu as the president-elect. In Charly Boy's version of events, Obasanjo later called him back and asked him not to proceed with the protest for fear that the Nigerian military would kill protesters.

We can forgive those young people who think Obasanjo became penis-shy about protest because of the EndSARS killings. No. During Obasanjo's eight years as president, he supervised the Nigerian military's massacre of unarmed civilians.

Under Obasanjo's order, on November 20, 1999, the Nigerian military invaded Odi in Bayelsa State and killed over 900 people. The military's excuse was that a gang of Niger Delta militants killed twelve police officers days before. In a February 2013 judgment, the Federal High Court ordered the Federal Government to pay N37.6 billion compensation to the people of Odi for the Nigerian military's massacre and burning down of their town. In May 2014, Jonathan's administration paid N15 billion as compensation.

Again, under Obasanjo's order, the military attacked Zaki-Biam in Benue State in October of 2001 and killed over 200 people. The military gave the excuse that they went to bring order to a region of Tiv villages where militants killed 19 soldiers. Amongst those killed were women, children, and the elderly. The Nigerian government initially denied the killings. President Umaru Yar'Adua later apologized in 2007 during a visit to Benue.

Like most African politicians, Olusegun Obasanjo has used the first part of his life to destroy the last. Like his fellow co-travelers on the disgusting path, Obasanjo's last-minute effort to cross over to the decent road almost always hits a roadblock, a remnant of the structure of criminality with which he used to be in bed. He can pretend to show pertinence for his sins, but as his powers wean, he can only pray - for Buhari to do something, for the people to rise, for the international community to intervene, for the God in heaven to strike. But as we have repeatedly seen, regret comes at the end.

How can you be saving $150m from the coffers of a poor state like Anambra. If you take that $150m to Invest in Aba-made products from Onishta mainly on quality and advertising for Nigerians Appreciation of the products. You'd have made 150 dollar Millionaires that will pay taxes that will be 150 times more than the $150m.

OBI must have gone to Egypt to do JUJU for Nigerians.

drlateef:
We know of a WhatsApp group created by an IPOB commander. And their discussion is about how they will take over Lagos State Government through their leader Chibedu Gbadebo of LP. They will then use the resources of Lagos State to fund IPOB and Biafra secession plans. For those youth who did not realise that Obi was a fraud. Here is an opportunity to wake up from your slumber. If Chinedu wins Lagos, many of you and your parents will lose their jobs and businesses, because Chinedu is not going to use the resources to develop Lagos. They are going to use it for terrorist agenda. IPOB will enforce sit at home in Lagos. You won’t be able to go for your businesses. That is what they mean by taking over Lagos and Nigeria. They have failed in taking over Nigeria. Lagos is their next target. If you are yoruba and other ethnic groups aside igbo, and you are still in slumber or intoxicated with the fake mantra of taking over lagos by LP, wake up now. Its not too late. Never vote LP and all their representatives. The devil you know is better than the one you don’t know. A word is enough for the wise. Vote only APC.

Shut up and eat Shit! Emefeile took advantage of the 1984 change of currency to manifest his wickedness and treachery in hopes that the opposition which in this case is Peter obi, will win.

Buhari has apologized to Nigeria. When is Emefeile apologizing for the untold hardship he has caused to Nigerians or better still resign to save his face?
Why has he not adhered to the the supreme Court rulings to make up for his mistakes?

DenreleDave:
Exactly if Obi a human trafficker is nt jailed, then Emefiele shud nt be jailed

BOLA TINUBU USED THE PRINCIPLES OF 48 LAWS OF POWER TO BECOME PRESIDENT - Dr Lexington Steele

The 48 Laws of Power authored by Robert Greene is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining or defending against ultimate control. It’s the bastard love child of How To Win Friends And Influence People, The Art of War and The Game – if that child was bred to survive Coral Island, then raised by wolves, then fostered by Machiavelli.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the President Elect used many of the principles in the book on his ascension to the throne. I would have loved to dissect all 48 Laws contained in the book, but for the sake of brevity, I will choose a few :

Law 1. Never Outshine the Master

Despite the crucial role that Tinubu played in getting Buhari to Aso Rock, at no point did he attempt to upstage him. He often showed absolute loyalty, humility and respect even in the face of obvious disrespect. He always left trivial insults for the big picture.

Law 4. Always Say Less Than Necessary

For years, Dino Melaye, Bukola Saraki, Afenifere, Bode George have openly disrespected and insulted Tinubu. BAT might have been taught "Silence is the best answer for a fool" in primary school, but the man took it to extreme lengths. He NEVER responded. He only ensured political irrelevance of his foes.

Law 6. Court Attention at All Costs

For years, critics of Tinubu who were envious of his prominent role in uprooting PDP from Aso Rock, spent years mourning the loss and insulting the man. What they didn't know was that the insults made him a constant on the lips of everyone. I have very reliable sources in Aso Rock who said Tinubu intentionally made gaffes like "gazelle garagara" and "bala blu blu bala" to keep his name in the news while distracting his opponents from the big picture. It was ALL misdirection.

Law 7. Get Others to Do the Work for You, but Always Take the Credit

Tinubu through a middle man instigated Peter Obi into running for Presidency. Obi went to Atiku to beg for a chance to be running mate and was coldly rejected. Atiku told him pointblank that he didn't associate with failures. While Obi was in a sad state (said to be crying), the middle man approached him and said some big men who wanted to remain anonymous will finance his candidacy as an independent candidate. Obi never knew he was being financed by Tinubu to run against him!!! Very reliable sources close to APC and the man himself confided in me.


Law 15. Crush Your Enemy Totally

The high number of votes Obi got was intended to psychologically break Atiku. Atiku will always think of what could have been if he teamed up with Obi. This will make him lose taste to run for Presidency again. If APC which already weakened by Buhari's poor performance could still beat PDP with such a wide margin... the defeat is psychological which is at times more traumatic and longer lasting than physical defeat.

Law 16. Use Absence to Increase Respect and Honor

Tinubu intentionally refused any debates organized. By the time he appeared on Chatham House, BBC and the NESG... audiences hung on EVERY single word he uttered. This is why he had such a strong showing especially in the NESG. His absence generated a lot of interest when he finally took the stage.

Law 21. Play a Sucker to Catch a Sucker – Appear Dumber Than Your Mark

While some of his rivals were busy fantasizing how to wrestle control of Lagos State from Tinubu's hands, they forgot elections were conducted in 36 states plus the FCT. He appeared like a fool but he knew allowing a win in Lagos will even increase the validity of the election results. When EFCC was storming his polling units, when military tanks were rolling into Lagos, his critics jubilated not knowing the true purpose of those tanks were to quell any post elections violence.


29. Plan All the Way to the End

Most mortals would rest easy if they had the "advantages" BAT had. "Oh, I am the ticket holder of the ruling party, I helped the President and his Vice to power, I can sleep assured" Bola Tinubu campaigned harder than his rivals. He campaigned like he was in a relatively small party like FRESH or Accord. He NEVER left anything to chance from Primaries to Presidency. Even to petitions at tribunals post election, I wouldn't explain that further.

42. Strike the Shepherd, and the Sheep Will Scatter

At a point when it seemed the Cabal wanted to install another candidate during the APC primaries, Tinubu fearlessly struck at the heart of the Cabal. Glory favours the bold, unlike Atiku who deleted a tweet condemning Deborah Samuel's death or Peter Obi who ran away from PDP primaries before it even started.... Tinubu boldly confronted the President, Vice President, Senate President and Party Chairman. Few weeks before elections, a cash shortage and fuel scarcity were caused to negatively affect Tinubu's chance. He very boldly confronted the Presidency till there was a Supreme Court stalemate.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu's political genius should be studied in Universities.

This piece was written inspired by The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene. But all the opinions contained therein are that of the author of this thread.

Father Ejike Mbaka, the chief priest of the Adoration Ministry in Enugu has declared that the PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar and his running mate, Peter Obi, will fail in their bid to unseat incumbent Muhammadu Buhari in next year’s election.

Mbaka made the declaration on Sunday, in a video that has now gone viral and also triggered some backlash for the controversial priest, who also predicted the failure of former President Jonathan’s bid for re-election in 2015.

Mbaka announced the curse on Atiku and Obi after Obi, notorious for being stingy, refused to pledge anything to support Mbaka’s church.

The priest declared: “The way you and Atiku are moving will end in shame”.
