A straight question was asked, but you will see how some people will start attacking Obi as if he is the only candidate on ballot where as we have over 20 to 30 Candidatein different political party.... who has a chance they say Obi doesn't, yet 97% talked about Candidate on this first page is about Obi.... many have even forgotten that Amaechi is also a Candidate

As true as your opinion sounds, what is more truer is that the same experience has also given them leverage to be what they are today. If they didn't have that experience, would Don Jazzy's MAVIN be the brand it is today? Would Sola be able to provide for her family the way she did?

I have always said abroad is not paradise, it is not for the faint hearted but I guarantee you one thing, abroad will expose and enlighten you. Make you see the world from a different perspective and overall, give you an opportunity.
How you now use that is left to you.

If over 100million have the same opportunity, I am pretty sure that nonsense you guys are doing in Nigeria will stop, reinforcing failures after failures.

He said: “You mean that APC would be worried about ADC, NDC? I saw Atiku, he is now our best campaign manager because he is attacking Obi, and I see Obi attacking Amaechi.”


Did you read that well? Obi is the main threat to them. Unfortunately, Obi won't attack Amaechi. One of the things Obi had said in the last campaign was that he won't respond to unequals in the campaign, which when you look at it is what all the candidates did. He didn't bother responding to Omokri who was an aide, he said I will talk to your boss. He also does not respond to insults. Soludo tried to demarket him and he called him Professor who knows better can help him fix the problems he did not know how to fix. He call am brother


Tinubu tried to demarket him by saying he won't even call his name but he didn't respond to him at tall so if you are expecting Obi to be attacking Amaechi, sorry is your boyfriend's name.

Last time, it was Gbaja saying the ADC guy should scatter them. Tinubu said he will send Akpabio to opposition and now Oshiomole wants them to fight. If the opposition should take any notes from APC's playbook, it's that they don't want Nigerians to demand accountability from them. If you all focus and press APC's neck, e go choke. They've been in power for 12 years, they have 31+ governors, opposition should be their least worry but we know why a man who can't perform on bed will blame his wife and her family for being barren. Let her family be fighting among themselves when he's the actual problem, at least it takes attention away from the elephant in the room🤡

Why did Plato say this?
Because philosophers are trained to think beyond emotions, beyond immediate gratification, and beyond personal bias. They are trained to contemplate life deeply, to ask hard questions, to search for meaning, and to look at the bigger picture of existence and society.

I watched Obi speaking to Kayode before I saw Abdullahi's interview. One thing I can tell you for free is that Obi is more measured in talking about ADC and Bolaji, Amaechi etc should learn from this. He never abuses, he was still thanking David Mark for his maturity. He knows he may still need the ADC. ADC on the other hand, from Okonkwo to Momodu keep talking down on Obi. I don't think they have learned anything from how Obi speaks about his former principals. You will never hear him abuse Atiku, even to criticize Tinubu, the interviewer had to ask him if he was afraid of calling Tinubu's name.

gulfer:
Which discussion panel are you referring to? From what I saw, it was less a discussion and more a self-glorifying charade, amplified by hired supporters.

Jakpon:
I am 100% sure you did not even watch the interview, and if you did, the subject of conversation is way beyond your head

Pained chairman, he wanted his brother as VP. Kwankwaso had more political value than Datti. OK had taken over

Aside Obi and Kwankwanso, no other politician has been able to prove themselves ALONE outside the establishment.

Repost👇

Obi has the brightest chance going by the last election result followed by Kwankwanso. I choose these two because they left PDP and did not have the structure of the regular party, which Atiku benefitted from using the PDP platform. You also have to look at the time they had to test themselves between the election primaries and election.

If you want to know what that means, Ribadu ran the Presidential election in 2011 under AC and failed with that party structure. Obi and Kwankwanso have been able to test their popularity as candidates outside the regular establishments and done well. Both had no Governors in their party before contesting and pulled a good number in the last election. Buhari used his CPC to bargain with AC to get the Presidential slot in APC. Buhari could say whether he used ANPP or CPC, he could gather votes. I'm not so sure Atiku can do that. He was a presidential candidate of the Action Congress in the 2007 presidential election coming in third to Umaru Yar'Adua of the PDP and Muhammadu Buhari of the ANPP. Atiku came a distant third in that election with less than 10% of the votes.


Obi and Saraki/Kwankwanso

A Saraki will be a difficult campaign for APC that has defaulted to using tribes against themselves. Saraki ticks two boxes of Yoruba/North Central who have been looking for relevance since Gowon.

Here is the stats of the declared winners since 1999. Mr Bola Ahmed tinubu was not a popular president elect

Here is the brief, factual list of Nigeria’s presidential election winners since 1999, including each winner’s name and the percentage of valid votes they received.

1999 – Olusegun Obasanjo: about 62.78% of valid votes.

2003 – Olusegun Obasanjo: about 61.94% of valid votes.

2007 – Umaru Musa Yar’Adua: about 69.60% of valid votes.

2011 – Goodluck Jonathan: about 58.87% of valid votes.

2015 – Muhammadu Buhari: about 53.96% of valid votes.

2019 – Muhammadu Buhari: about 55.60% of valid votes.

2023 – Bola Ahmed tinubu: about 36.6–37% of valid votes.


A United opposition will defeat tinubu before the election begins. With a wiiiiiiiiiiiiiide margin. There is no need to argue about that.

Fact: Tinubu remains the most unpopular president to have won the Presidential elections. He is the easiest to kick out. Back then, PDP told AC, CPC and opposition parties when they were reigning that to kick us out, you need to unite as opposition. That's what they learned in 2015.

Something that has not been mentioned is the cost of living in the North. That's what most southerners see but don't understand up North. It's why your aboki shining your shoe is able to have 4 wives after he gathers some money. It's why they come to Lagos and anywhere there is economic opportunities to hustle and take it back. Their own japa is within so the way we say $40,000 can not do much in US, it may be able to do a lot elsewhere. Not justifying irresponsibility but that's one lens most people don't look at. What's the cost of living in the North?

Our problem is that our professors are lazy, they don't do any research.
Most of what we eat , drink and use are used because we met them so.
We have rarely done serious empirical test on them.
We need to research a lot, because some of our local stuff are very helpful, some could be toxic if applications are not really own.
BUT, IF I BE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA, I GO BAN AKPU, FUFU OR SANTANA, THE SMELL IS EXTREMELY OFFENSIVE.
FROM THE FERMENTING TO THE SIEVING TO THE SELLING AND CONSUMPTION , NA VERY UNBEARABLE ODOUR.
JUST ENTER FINE DUPLEX WITH STATE OF THE ART FURNISHING, ONCE THEM DEY EAT AM OR JUST FISHED EATING IT, OMO YOU GO HATE THE MANSION AND PREFER TO ENTER MUD HOUSE.

JASONjnr:
Only if you'd read through..... You'd make sense out of this epistle.

Gbaja is saying that because Desmond is his boy, he has always supported his political career but Desmond decided to fight the house over religion issues. Gbaja continued by saying that, the state house has existed this long and both Christians and Muslims has never had issues and they've always related and focused on issue-based politics without arousing religion crisis as a sensitive issue in the floor.

The above is the issue that enabled the president's attention and as a leader, he has to put his house in order first.

You'll be the first to insult the president if Lagos political affairs is in shamble....

“I almost lost my job because of Desmond Elliot last year. You can go and verify. The President invited him to his residence in Abuja during the Obasa saga and confronted me over reports linking Elliot to the crisis.

“Mr President called me to his study in Abuja and said, ‘I hear this Desmond is your boy.’ I said, ‘Yes, sir.’ He then said Desmond was among those causing problems in the Lagos State House of Assembly,” he stated.

Gbajabiamila said he defended the lawmaker without knowing that Elliot was involved in the plot.

Atiku should know that time does not favor him anymore just as time does not favor Jonathan who can actually come back one more time now that we have seen the best APC can offer. But make no mistakes, leave when the ovation is loudest. I can't blame him, seeing Tinubu grab it, snatch it and run away with it really motivated him, that's why he has hope and you can't take a man's hope from him, he only renewed it

Buhari also deceived him with the hope that you can try just one more time, when you have given up hope and you will win but he needs to read the room. No one is motivated by Atiku so his campaign will be for those deceiving him. He doesn't realize that Buhari of 8 years and Tinubu of 4 years and his association with both of them has cost him the chance to have his turn. Take away that money he has from him, he will bury that hope.

SixSeven:
You overestimate the North. You are assuming that Buhari's bloc vote will automatically go to Atiku but not Tinubu? Or you forget that the ADC is made up of that bloc, who after 2023 didn't want to work with Tinubu? Let ADC choose Atiku and I will congratulate Tinubu today. You don't ask yourself why APC worries about Obi that was supposedly third than Atiku that was second? They know the game!

I put the map here for your reference. Obi won Lagos, Abuja and Rivers State. Add a share of Kwankwanso votes to his or Atiku's votes and you can tell Tinubu wouldn't have won. When APC won in 2015, the KKK states helped them. When analysing numbers, guage sentiments. Tinubu will not get the same numbers as before because now, he's not a virgin, you are choosing to continue the pain in the renewed hope or choose an alternative. Atiku does not appeal to the youth and going by stats, they are the major voting bloc and will be the only ones to want to come out because whether you like it or not, Tinubu is planning on swimming through voter apathy in 2027. Many of these candidates need to retire, including Obi himself. A child born in 1999 is now 27 and would have gone through his adult life hearing about Tinubu and Atiku. A child born in 1993 when Atiku first contested is now telling his own child that Atiku is the future. How? Let me remind you again

In the lead-up to the 2023 elections, 84% of the 10 million newly registered voters fell into this age category. Those aged 35–49 (Middle-Aged Voters) make up roughly 35.75% of the electorate.

A little secret, people migrate, not just Nigerians, and not because their country is bad or awful.

A lot of Americans migrate to thailand and mexico. Not because both countries are strong, or better, but because the relative strength of the dollar means they can live like kings there.

It is only in Nigeria that we think that japa must be for economic purposes...or that it is because country bad and no anemites.
