If he is going to be his vice outside PDP, they will not win a national election against Tinubu.

Atiku actually got no structure of his own, he can only use the structure of PDP to amount to anything.

Blocking out Atiku completely from PDP itself is a strategy that already gave APC an edge even before election.

My 100% prediction is that Obi will contest presidency under LP as a single candidate.

Which Pdp structure are you talking about again ? Pdp is dead! The party has no structure.

Atiku has taken half of pdp structure to ADC with politicans that followed him there. The same with Wike and pdp governors that decamp.

Atiku need a strong candidate in as a running mate in the South. This is where Peter Obi comes.

Atiku/obi will be the flag bearer of ADC in 2027. I don't know why guys fear such ticket. Thats the opposition tinubu will face in 2027.

Pdp want to revive their dead party because of 2031, not even 2027. They need a strong candidate either Jonathan or obi. But Jonathan will not even run and obi is not going back there.

Too bad for Pdp. They should give their ticket to wike or makinde.

Let watch and see.

These people are still fighting for supremacy battles ? Onni Vs Allafin. In this 21st century

helinues:
Ogun state is yet to have better governor. Most of those who have been governing don't know the extent of the potentials of the state not to talk of the proximity with Lagos state, sharing border with Oyo state, sharing border with neighbouring country Benin

If the new Cargo airport is well maintained, it should serve as strategic airport for cargo exporting shipment in Southern Nigeria specifically.

How will there know ? When most of them are now lagosians

Obasanjo was still paying subsidy and the same time growing out foreign reserves. He surrounded himself with technocrats and Economist not tinubu that surrounded himself with political bandits and Yes man.

Instead of him to invest the subsidy money in areas and sectors affecting the life and productivity of Nigerian and Nigeria economy like power, education, health, SME etc.

He will rather share the money with Senators, governors , political friends and cronies .

chopnaira:
High oil prices actually.

Not only oil price. Good economic policy also helps.

Tinubu is no longer paying subsidy. Our foreign reserve should be 100 billion dollars by now.

But No, Tinubu will rather share it to governors, his friends and political associates who will use it to fund their wasteful, lavish and extravagant lifestyle. Then he will proceed to tax the hell out of Nigerians.

The Real ALPHA TRIBE..IN NIGERIA. They remit to their villages , towns and cities.

SELF-HELP Sparatans and Gladiators!!

No be IGR propaganda cho cho cho

IGBO AMAKA!!!

Your first and second paragraph sum it all.

Ronu people has abandon their villages and Town to be claiming lagosians. I didn't add cities because they don't have any cities in their region. Those brown roof slums that littered everywhere in the South West can't be called cities.

I went to ogun state 4 months ago. No signs of good governance anyway! Both at the state and local government level. Bad roads and infrastructure everywhere! Abeokuta the capital is looking terrible and backward.

Despite ogun proximity to lagos, yet the state lagging behind Terribly! Their governor doing nothing. Yet, the people of Ogun state has abandon their state to be claiming lagosians.

Very shameful! The same with other SW states. Their governors are doing absolutely nothing.

Igbos in diaspora are doing well. I commed them. Most of the money sent to Nigeria by Nigerians living in diaspora are Igbos.

Igbos in diaspora plays a huge role in South East development most especially in Human development index. Also including urban - rural, housing and infrastructure development.

Their philanthropist activities also helps a lot. Big kudos to them.

Ike odenigwe. M.D. Centenary city plc.

Developers keep developing. Ronu miscreants continues to cry and wail because of envy and bitterness

Na by force to insure properties ? Insurance is a choice not by force.

By the way, Insurance companies in Nigeria are nothing to write home about.

They didn't disappear. All of them migrated to Lagos and start claiming lagosians. That's why Yorubas has no villages. It doesn't exists.

If you tell them to post the pictures of their villages. They can't. Why ? Because it doesn't exists. They are lagosians

AMINDA:
These are the shady characters that Tinubu likes having around him so he can have them on a leash to do his bidding. He may find it difficult to work with you if you are squeaky clean because that would mean he has no leverage over you.

Video below shows how Wike's son lavish the stolen funds on his girlfriend overseas while Agbadorians like the one below continue to defend online while shacked up in their shanties.

You mean agbadorians like Helinuse, Seunmsg, Omenka, softmirror etc Defending their oppressor full time when they live a miserable life.

The money wike son spent on his girlfriend birthday is enough to change the lives of every agbadorians to a better one.

babayinka77:
I genuinely feel for the people of Ogun State in all of this. Despite the substantial revenue and allocations the state receives, the level of development remains disappointingly low. Most inner roads are in terrible condition, and there seems to be little to no attention given to areas outside the capital. It’s a troubling situation.

Take a trip to places like Mowe, Ifo, Ibafo, Arigbawonwo, Ofada, and Erimerunmu — there’s hardly any visible impact from either the state or local governments. In fact, the presence of local governance is practically nonexistent.

Living in Ogun State really puts into perspective the kind of development Lagos State has achieved. One can only hope that the next administration in Ogun will adopt a governance model similar to Lagos, with a long-term development plan that successive governments can follow and build upon

Ogun people are now claiming lagosians.

The state will continue to rot, becomes undeveloped and Non existent of infrastructure because the indigenes of ogun has abandoned their to answer lagosians.

At least you are been honest about the Bad situation in ogun state unlike your brothers who turn deaf ears and blind on bad governance in ogun.

asfrank:
This man knows how to get things done. It's high time we concentrate on Governors for once. They have enough resources at their disposal to deliver lasting change in their respective states.

They can initiate any feasible project, embark of empowerment schemes with ease.
If your governor is not performing hmmm

Governors are not in charge of fiscal and monetary policy to affect the economy.

FG is responsible for such. Did you guys even study government in school ?

joachimnkenchor:
Truth be told
APC will win in 2027
All you know as a voter is your polling units after that, the real politics takes place
It means that you can win in your polling units and lose in inec coalition office

Is not those that votes decide the election. Is those that count the votes.

Let's pray and hope things will change in 2027.

casualobserver:
Guy please I told you before to try and pretend to have some brain cells left. I didn’t read your entire post. You have not presented yourself in a way worthy of reading a lengthy post. I just scanned through.

I have never ever promoted okorocha. Please scan through my posts you will never see where I have ever touted him as a possible president. He is a word I cannot post or else I will be banned! That you think okorocha and obi are presidential material says a lot about you.

Secondly what have love for to do with this? I do t have to love someone to vote for them. I am not marrying into his family! In any event I have always said that based on facts on ground an Ibo presidency is not likely in the next southern cycle based on the way you have played your politics. If for any reason Umahi or Soludo get the ticket I will vote for them because they are not ethnic bigots and are competent but particularly because I respect their brand of police of bridge building and alliances.

Like I said I only scanned your post but I saw something about anti-Obi. Yes you are right in some sense….. because to many of us, anyone who can support Obi does not wish well for Nigeria. An Ibo man who is bold enough to speak against Obi whether or not he has personal motives is to me a good and courageous person!


Please do not respond to me again. We are done here! I want to be able to see my posts on this thread and if I block you which I will if you respond again I won’t be able to.

Let us agree to disagree and part ways here since we are banned from insulting each other and there is no basis for further engagement.

I am getting very irritated if you respond to me i know I will insult you I am. It willing to read anymore of your posts. So please just dey your dey!

I see your name on my mention and without reading I will just click your profile and block!

You may not have promoted okorocha. Yes! But your people promoted him when he was a governor and even said he will be voted as president by the Apc. Reason is that he is not a tribal bigot but a one Nigeria who have build bridges and alliance.

But immediately he declared for president against your candidates. You guys and the north threw him under the bus. You guys went back to una default settings.

Am just pointing out of your hypocrisy. You people don't like Umahi or Soludo because you believe he is competent and has a good track record. You support him because they are anti obi or anything anti igbo or SE.

The day they run against una candidate. You people will unleashed una venom on them.

My post is not irritating. Just that you can't face the truth and accept your hypocrisy.

You wan use block to whine me I will quote anyone I like as far as I don't insult the person.

I don give you small headache today. Don't take it personal. We are all learning

casualobserver:
Umahi and Somulo are the only Ibos currently acceptable to the rest of Nigeria and currently Umahi is ahead of Soludo.

The way our system is designed. A sub region presents a candidate and the rest of Nigeria determines whether he becomes president.


You may not like what he is saying but he is speaking the truth.

If Ibos were politically savvy they would take advantage of the goodwill Umahi is enjoying as a result of his excellent performance as works minister! The best works minister in my lifetime. I said it in a previous post, Tinubu gave him the role for a reason. 1) competence and 2) to boost his national profile. Remember Tinubu asked him to step down in the contest for SP and become Dg for Akpabio.

Ibos should not blow this opportunity. If you miss out on 2039, the next slot is 2055!

Don’t come here shouting it’s our turn or Biafra if you don’t play your politics right!

Is not longer Rochas okorocha. Is now Dave Umahi Did you dictate for buhari when north present him ?

Did you also dictate for the north when Atiku and kwakwanso run in 2023 ?

If you love Umahi or Soludo, then tell tinubu do withdraw his ree election campaign and back one of up as Apc presidential candidates and then become an elderstateman or better still support him in 2031 at least on the alter of peace , equity, fairness and.

But you can't do that because the love you have for him is not genuine. Is is fake. In Wikes voice. Oh fake!!. You like him because he attack Peter Obi and lesser extent, he is an Apc member. The same thing with Soludo.

If things go south. You will attack him. Reminds him that he is ipob, then went to unleashed the wrath of your lagos ibadan expressway (LIE) media propaganda on him to demonize him and assasimate his character. We know all these things.

If there is at least any igbo man that command such spread especially in the north, it is Rochas okorocha. But Okorocha is not president.


Despite the fact that okorocha was influencial in Buhari even more than Umahi was in tinubu government. Okorocha was the chiarman of Apc governors forum. He was philanthropist. He did a lot of things and projects in the north under Rochas okorocha foundation. He speaks hausa fluently. He was born and brought up in the north.

He needs a lot for them even more than his own people. He sacrificed a lot. He built brides. He extended alliance towards the north. Okorocha did a lot, I mean a lot for them!!!

But they couldn't repay the favor during Apc presidential primary. Okorocha couldn't even get One singe vote from delegates in the north even In the West. All the things he did to them was Wasted!

Ever since that. Okorocha hasn't recovered. He is no longer in politics again. Nobody remembers him again not even the north he did everything for. Everything was in vain. Okorocha treatment was worst!

The same thing will happen to Umahi and Soludo if they contest or go against your candidates.

casualobserver:
Perhaps next time you should stay out of People’s conversations. Perhaps you should activate the grey cells in your brain if between Kanu and Obi you have any left.

The person I responded to was talking about the presidential election in 2027.


Sometimes it pays to mind your business and not enter other peoples conversations without understanding the context.



Hedyot

You still can't comprehend a simple message

The guy you quoted was talking about Anambra voting patterns in presidential election. That voting for Apga in Anambra state local election does not mean that opposition is dead according to Soludo.

Anambra people will vote for another party next president election. It can be Lp, ADC, Ypp, Etc . As far as Peter Obi is the candidate of that party in the ballot be it as a presidential candidate of Vice president.

He was talking about Anambra voting patterns. How Anambra votes in Local, governorship, and president election.

He was not talking about the entire Nigeria Presidential election. Soludo was talking about Anambra state.

That's you comprehend simple message is your problem not mine. Maybe I should type in Yoruba for you to understand it more better

They are doing agbero work. What do you expect ? Education has taken a back seat in that region.

They also have the highest numbers of out of school children in the South after NW,NE and NC.

Agbero is now a hustle. Everyone what be MC Oluomo.

That's why you see most of them exhibiting gross ignorance on everything. Because the teachers that taught them are less qualified.

casualobserver:
Nobody has said Obi will not win in Anambra. Nobody cares if he does. If that is all you can see you are missing the message of this election result.

But Soludo was talking about Anambra state by election results. He was specific. He didn't mention any state.

You can't comprehend a simple message yet you will forming professional on politics.

Dalohad:
They are giving you Peter Obi. Vote for him.

You already reject Okonjo-Iweala in 2015 with propaganda.

As we speak, you already cooking propaganda that you will use against Soludo with the current insecurity in his state.

As for Umahi, his own file about taking people's land without compensation as Minister of Works is already with you. And his corruption case file is with EFCC.

PO is the cleanest politically-exposed person in the East that's why no propaganda has succeeded against him, vote him and stop trying to deceive yourself.

Soludo own will be the worst. I just dey look am. He thinks he is doing Obi not knowing he is killing his political career.

Soludo presidential ambition is dead on Arrival. He does not have the balls to declare his presidential ambition. He can continue to throw jabs and tantrums here and there. But we all know that he does not have what he takes to run for any president.

As far as Obi is there, Soludo goes no where in national politics. If e sure for him, let him decamp to Apc. That's why he is frustrated.

Let him continue throwing tantrums and jabs. That the highest he can do to console himself.

Go and Vote for Umahi or Soludo and leave Igbos out of stupidity. Tell Tinubu to step down and back them for president and be an elder statement.

If you can't do that. Then, mentioning IGBos up and down because Dem no be your papa mate.

casualobserver:
I would unpack every point you made but It’s too early in the morning on a Monday to unpack the nonsense you just wrote. It a whole lot of nonsense and a lack of understanding of Nigeria politics.


The best way I can respond to your delusional and emotionally laced appraisal which is summed up in your comment that “power is acquired through principled resistance” is this: You’ve watched too many western movies, this is not a western democracy or Latin American freedom fighters.. this is Nigerian politics. Power is acquired through trust, handshakes and alliances across tribes. No more no less…always has, always will be!!

If it were about principled resistance, there is no ore more principled resistance than Omowole Sowore, who has been resisting on principle since his teenage days. No principled resistance has upstaged an incumbent in the politics of Nigeria, don’t get carried away with propaganda and jargon.

You will hear some people say they fought for democracy, while true, they were either in jail, killed or in exile. Their fight was heading nowhere, we were around then o! They were all noise makers o, the west did not pay them any attention besides giving them asylum. Nothing would have happened. They didn’t win the fight o! It’s only because Abacha died and Abdulsalam a politically unambitious general who himself was about to be retired by Abacha became HOS. Otherwise your “principled resistance” would have died in Jail like Yaradua or Abiola or remained in Exile! It wasn’t their fight that brought about democracy or change, it was a stroke of luck and the intervention of God that Abacha died. Of Abacha had not died he would be on his 6th or 7th term as president and nothing would happen!

With the exception of the military, Principled resistance never leads to power in Nigeria o, dont let anybody fool you!
And even if you are going to be principled in your resistance you must be principled and resistant. By joining the same structure of criminality in alliance to the extent of pleading with them, Obi is neither principled nor is it resistance, joining this coalition is caving in not resisting, certainly not principled resistance!

All the other stuff you wrote is nonsense!

He wrote nonsense but it is you that making sense Hypocrite!

They guy just write his opinion. I don't why he pained you write this to write such long essay.

Stop forcing your opinion on others. You feels you everything, but you know nothing.

Stop being intolerant on other people political views and opinion.

Ttalk:
You are an adult based on your comments so far and you would agree if you are sincere that Peter Obi out of personal interest prolong the chance of Igbo to become president in 2027 by moving Igbo out of PDP because he sensed he has no chance to win the presidential sit in 2023.

Had Yoruba chickened out the Obi pushed Igbo to do, the north will be cruising 10 years uninterrupted in Aso rock.

2027 is not. Igbo time for president in APC, you can pursue it in other political platform and let's see the outcome.

You can't bully everyone to gift you the president where we have over 500 ethnic groups. The reality today in APC demand that Igbo need to work their way through just like Umahi and Bianca is doing, but sadly many of you are too emotionally myopic just like Peter Obi to accept the bitter truth.

2027 deal is almost sealed for Tinubu just like it is sealed for the North in 2031, then you have SS to contend with in 2039 because they already positioned themselves through their input in APC politics, the only option for the Igbo is to pray the opposition win against APC, but with the reforms of President Tinubu, it is unlikely that such prayer would be answered.

If Tinubu economic reform yield positive result and lead to prosperity, then SE will have to wait much more longer than 2039 unless they quickly mobilise support for Tinubu and caution their disobidient children from insulting the SW who is the surest region that can support Igbo candidate to win election in the nearest future

Nobody ask you to write this long essay

If you believe Umahi is the sure plug for SE president, then vote for him in 2027. He is an Apc member. Very Simple As AbCD.

No. That was was local election. Presidential election will be different.

Eboofa:
You actually beat me to it, I really wanted to blast Soludo administration for the past few days............He has gone back to his old ways of making trivial and flippant statements about the condition of our dear Anambra state! He has a nack of demarketing his own product! How do you keep on saying ndigbo and ndianambra are 100% responsible for kidnapping in Anambra state......( even if it is true! and its a largely inaccurate statement anyway) !!

To make matters worse, he has taken his eyes off the security ball completely, he is busy politicking right now! Who is the state Security czar again? I have always doubted Soludo"s managerial and admin acumen, who is his Chief of staff? where is the legacy security institutions and architecture he is building? Let him learn from Patrick Mba of Enugu state on how to run a 21st century security network! Getting ndimpiwazu touts and asawana special forces will not do the whole job! Those are stop gap measures! where are the drones, where are the decryption and decoding machines for tracking calls, where are the cctv cameras, where are the trained personnel?

Cultists,kidnappers and fulani herdsmen have almost overun Anambra in the last few weeks.....where are the reforms of the criminal justice system........do we need firearms,robbery and kidnapping courts or even tribunals! We need to take the fight to these criminals! enough is enough for pete's sake! How can criminals numbering less than 10,000 individuals take our sleep from us!

Meanwhile soludo is spending millions upon millions walling off and barricading people's home and residences from viewing the state house from their homes! What utter nonsense, You could have planted large shade trees on the state house side and private home owners side of the boulevard as long as 3 years ago! Why has soludo surrounded himself with people who have absolutley no initiative! na wa o....I just get pissed at his tardiness and tackiness sometimes! He has to declare an immediate emergency on criminality and fight it with technology and vexation!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd_dimfFHfU&t=21s




You see this barricade nonsense..........the home owners if they feel sufficiently pissed should sue ASAP!

Soludo talks more and acts less. Everything no be cho cho cho.

Compare Soludo With Otti or mbah, you will know that Soludo administrative and managerial skills is very far behind. Pride and ego will not allow him to ask his colleague governors questions on how they run good security architecture in their states. Soludo thinks he knows all, but he knows Nothing.

Instead of Soludo to go after the criminals. He is busy putting blames. Have you see Governor Otti or mbah blaming anyone or pointing fingers for criminality in their states ?
No, they go after the criminals and bring them to justice regardless of where they come from.

But Soludo will first of all do cho cho cho. Blame Peter, blame Paul. Accuse James, Accuse John. Point finger at this one, point finger at another one. Oya Mr Governor, go after those criminals. Soludo can't do that.

Talking when he supposed not be talking without reading his environment. This is where Wisdom comes but Soludo fails.

Time he supposed to be reorganizing and restrategizing his security architecture. He is busy talking like a parrot and playing politics with people lives and property.

Soludo will create a bad legacy for leaving Anambra Unsafe and Insecure under his governance unless he acts now.

We all pray and wish him well. But he comments and his " I don't care attitude towards security is very annoying. He needs to change.

flokii:
The Elder said the truth and nothing but the truth.. what majority of the Igbos don't know which I will reveal here today is that most Yorubas you see like this Elder (myself inclusive) that speak this way desire only the best for them, just that we prefer to speak our mind in a blunt manner. The others like Dele Farotimi and those ones in Afenifere are just deceitful people and I can't take them seriously.

It is wrong before God and man for an Igbo person to be claiming Lagos as place of origin.. you should be proud of your place of origin.
Most Yorubas don't even claim Lagos as State of Origin talk more of non-Yoruba and non-Westerner.
That territorial agenda will keep getting you people in troub.le and that is the pure truth.

For God sake, think home, go home and develop your ancestral region.. why that advise come off as death sentence to the average Igbo person is what I'm yet to figure out.

Lagos is 100% Yorubaland...infact Yoruba territory extends beyond the 6 SW States into North Central (Kwara and Kogi) and some West African countries. Lagos by virtue of it"s positioning is well secured territory for Yorubas and is covered by Yoruba States like cherubs cover God's throne.

Apart from lagos. They is no state in the waste region that can match SE in development.

Be it urban , rural, even in Human development index. Lagos was the capital of Nigeria for 7 decades. FG made lagos what she is today adding to the oil money from Niger Delta that was used to build the infrastructure in lagos and the resources and hardwork of all Nigerians living there.

Go and develop your brown roof slum region. Allow lagos to rest. Most of you are not from there. You have abandon your 5 SW states and be claiming lagosians. Even those that are not from lagos and also not contributing anything to the development of the state are also claiming lagosians

Putin keep massaging trump ego

The war in Ukraine started since 2014. Even when trump was president from 2017-2020, he was still funding Ukraine military with weapons to fighting Russia backed separatist in eastern Ukraine.

But trump didn't tell Ukraine that they will join NATO. Is was Biden that want Ukraine to be in NATO alliance and that is what trigger Russia to invade Ukraine.
