Poor Girl, no wonder they run to Lagos,.. who would want to stay in such a place?

Their ladies will do anything to bag a Yor U ba guy

Martin, this is not the time for tribalistic comments. What’s wrong with you people on this forum? A teenager was raped.

You brag about Lagos. Are your parents from Lagos or they came to the state to hustle from other southwestern states. If you’re not an indigene, please rest with this Lagos statement every time. Get another lyrics

Very dark man is mostly a reflection of today’s youth in Nigeria. They hardly think properly. They prefer someone else to do the thinking for them. VDM would be arrested for bullying and cyber stalking soonest. He isn’t bigger than the government. To his supporters, those who ride on the back of a tiger will eventually get consumed in her stomach, it’s only a matter of time.

I strongly support your last statement. He is a nuisance.

Lol.


He is a quiet person that does not talk too much but he was loud enough when he bullied his signee or what do they call young musicians under contract again. 😒

So you created a thread for ''countries that love'' you.

I honestly do not see what others see in Southafrica. A country that is only ''developed' because of the white population.

My black southafrican friend also affirmed the statement.

Do people really use only wipes to clean up their baby?

It does not matter the number of times the baby poops. I always clean them up with warm water. I did that for my nephew.

Obemebe, You are a lady.

Why did you create ths topic? Who is going to raise the child when she is gone? Her husband? Her mother-in-law?

You must be a man using a female's designation.

She is gorgeous.

I thought this character nunsen was gone.

Seun, are we taking one step forward and 10 steps backward.

I did not even know the character thing was back. I barely want to make opinions because of the low quality bots; and now this. You will be fine. It is your business afterall.

My advise to Peter Obi is to be focussed.
He should watch before he leaps.
The troubles of the PDP are far from over. Until the likes of damagun and other moles in the PDP is wiped out the party will not move forward.
In my opinion, Obi running as the candidate on any platform will fall short. He should collaborate with a strong northern candidate. At this point there's nothing like the turn of the South. It's time to take off the gloves and fight. When tinubu, a Muslim, chose another Muslim in shetima to deputies, "the turn of a Christian deputy" didn't stop his victory. Obi should work with a strong northerner in 2027 and run afterwards.

Thank you for finally saying this. I do not know why people are not seeing it. As a ''south westerner'' myself, I am putting my country's progress before my tribe. Tinubu contested with a muslim-muslim ticket; something that has never been done. Tinubu also led the coalition to unseat a fellow southerner (Jonathan). If Tinubu can emerge with techinicalities, then ADC is very justified to run on the same technicalities.

It is not the turn of the south. It is the turn of PROGRESS.

I had to post this again. There is something I have noticed on Nairaland since the emergence of the coalition (ADC). Ever since Peter Obi mentioned a strong alliance with ADC, there have been multiple formulations, but one thing I can assure you is that APC is not afraid of an Obi ticket, but an Atiku/Obi ticket running on ADC for 2027.

Take a look at some of this Nairalander (emkz’s) posts below. In one of his posts, he is excited that Obi would be returning to PDP as a presidential candidate. If you didn’t know any better, you would think he strongly supports Obi. But in another picture attached, he is strongly praising Tinubu and insulting Peter Obi. Lol.

Another one called Bossladdy suddenly emerged in June with “Peter Obi is our messiah.” Someone that has not commented since February 2024. Every day, she spams the thread with “Peter Obi is our messiah.”

APC is already working.
I told you already in the thread I created that to beat APC, ADC must be the bigger devil.

I’m just a patriot.

Yes, i used the word write-up because I don't want too specific

You are still justifying his sarcasm😂😂.

Sorry

jazzdude:
😂 Someone gave you a write-up to review for them?

😂😂😂. I did not understand your reason for the laughing emoji until I went back to read the quote. 😅😅😅

Dear Seun,

I understand the need for you to free this website from tribalism and reckless statements.

However, I am of the opinion that the introduction of "your bots (which appears to be of low quality) and the limitation in personal opinion (40 charactersminimum) would further reduce the quality of this forum.

Your aim for better quality comments has been turned to a real joke. You have not achieved your gaol. You have only made it worse. The front page comments are often about the 40 characters. Examples

1. I do not have fourty characters for seun
2. Seun needs 13 more characters to completethis post


And so many funny ones. So, I ask again? What is the point? I come online to read comments and you see 20 different comments have been deleted. Are proud of yourself seeing the fourty characters joke on the front page?

Improvement comes with scaling gradually. Plesse do better.
There is a possibility your bot would delete this message and ban me.

I find the bold interesting because in your previous thread about Evening newspaper, you were accussed of being Igbo as a result of using the terms Agbado and Ogbomosho.

Well, about Peter Obi's chances, as I rightly predicted seven months before the 2023 elections, he cannot win an election: https://www.nairaland.com/7225545/why-peter-obi-step-down In 2019, he paired with Atiku as VP against Buhari and they lost. Kwankwaso also worked in the 2019 movement to oust Buhari. However, in 2023, they went their separate ways and expected to win against a formidable incumbent? Also, Tinubu is not Jonathan, so why do you people think he would lose an election when he is the incumbent? Why? The best time to stop Tinubu was in 2023, not 2027. The man is going nowhere. As I have repeatedly stated on this forum, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu would rather commit suicide than lose the 2027 presidential election.

Obviously, Peter Obi did well for his first outing as a presidential candidate on a relatively unknown party and as an Igbo man. However, the main goal is getting into Aso Rock. The best chance was in 2023 if he had stayed with the PDP as VP candidate to Atiku. Unfortunately for both men, they won't enter Aso Rock. I just don't see Tinubu conceding defeat. He is not Jonathan.

. I did not see the need to respond to them in that thread . There were a lot of mentions. Ogbomosho and Agbado are popular yoruba banters. I do not pick offense at things like that.
To beat Tinubu in 2027, one must be the better evil or greater. It is possible. It took me five hours to write that article because I wanted it to be backed by facts and data.

The reasoning of the average politically-kwashiorkorred obídient.

So in ur jéwish mind, you expected tinubu from APC to work against his own party in favour of another party??
And u still had the effontry to be talking about "logic over sentiments??

Politics nor be for every tom, dick and harry, but una nor go hear!

Hi. I will tell you to be grateful to seun for the antispam bot

First, let me be clear. I am a strong supporter of Peter Obi. He is the only politician in Nigeria today who is genuinely liked without paying people or offering them incentives. That says a lot. He built his movement on truth, competence, and connection. .

Dear Obidients and fellow patriotic Nigerians,
I care deeply about Nigeria. I’ve been reflecting since the news broke about the ADC (African Democratic Congress) coalition that aims to unseat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027. It gave me hope. But I’ve also seen a wave of emotional responses especially online about whether Peter Obi should run for president again or take another route.

Most supporters of ADC are split into two groups:
1. Those who believe Obi should be the presidential candidate of the ADC coalition FOR 2027 and can beat Tinubu with the right northern vice. (Aisha, Datti, tunde ednut, etc....)

2. Those who believe Obi should be vice president to someone like Atiku, with a clear path to become president in 2031 or 2035(incase Atiku contests again----one must be prepared for every outcome. I belong to this group.

Here’s why.: Let’s Look at Age and Timing
Atiku’s age in 2027: 80
Peter Obi’s age in 2027: 66

Obi still has time. Atiku, most likely, will not run again after 2027. He has said this would be his last attempt. If Obi runs with him and becomes vice president, he will gain exposure, national structure, and northern goodwill. Then he can return stronger in 2031 or 2035 and no one will be able to stop him.

Lessons from the Past: Obasanjo vs. Olu Falae in 1999
Let’s go back to 1999, when Nigeria returned to democracy. The first presidential election after the military handover from General Abdulsalami Abubakar was between General Olusegun Obasanjo (PDP) and Chief Olu Falae (APP-AD). Both were southern Christian candidates, both Yoruba.

Obasanjo won. Why?

From my research, Obasanjo had the full weight of the PDP behind him, stronger funding, better structure, and broader national reach. For example, he was able to donate 130 million naira and several vehicles to support his party’s campaign. Though both men were Yoruba Christians, Obasanjo was more acceptable to the North due to his military background and national profile. Falae, on the other hand, was viewed as a regional candidate (Yoruba president). His APP-AD coalition was weak, disorganized, and came together too late. Internal divisions and poor strategy sealed his fate. Also, The Southeast felt ignored by the APP-AD coalition and The AD joined the race late and lacked national structure.

This is a valuable lesson for 2027. This same mistake will repeat itself in 2027 if Obi goes solo. History is staring us in the face from 1999 and 2023.

We Must Talk About Loyalty: Buhari’s 15 Million
Here’s something I can’t ignore and neither should you. In 2015 and 2019, President Buhari received the same number of votes: 15 million votes, despite rising insecurity, economic hardship, and hunger. In 2015, we could argue it was hope. But when Buhari won in 2019? That was loyalty.

That loyalty came mostly from the North. That’s what Peter Obi is up against and why he must not go alone in 2027. He simply doesn’t have the northern base yet. I am not afraid of the North for some unreasonable ones here but you cannot ignore the numbers.

Numbers Don’t Lie: Obi + Atiku Together Could Have Won in 2023
In 2019:
Buhari/APC: 15,191,847 votes (Buhari's loyal supporters won him that election, reason why I had to quote Buhari up there)
Atiku/Obi/PDP: 11,262,978 votes

In 2023:
Tinubu/APC: 8,794,726 votes (with stolen votes)
Atiku/PDP: 6,984,520 votes
Obi/LP: 6,101,533 votes (STOLEN VOTES FROM HIM NOT COUNTED)

Combined votes for Atiku and Obi in 2023 = 13,086,053

Had they worked together in 2023, the story may have been different. The votes were there. But emotions, pride, and disunity gave Tinubu the win.

Let’s not repeat the same mistake.
To Beat Tinubu, You Must Go Lower Than Him.
The best time to beat Tinubu was in 2023. The next best time is in 2027. To beat a man like Tinubu, one must be the bigger devil, the bigger evil, the bigger satan, the smarter one and be willing to go lower. You must be prepared for technicalities, INEC, Judiciary and what nots. You cannot fight Tinubu with church songs and Twitter hashtags. You need structure, ruthless planning, and deep alliances. ADC must be the bigger evil to defeat APC.

If Tinubu is ready to go to hell for his ambition, then ADC must be ready to go there too, take the keys from the devil, and lock him inside.

Politics is war. The longer you stay clean, the more likely you will lose. This doesn’t mean losing values. It means fighting fire with fire, strategy with strategy.

Tinubu Betrayed Jonathan — Let’s Be Honest
Some are saying “it’s the South’s turn.” But in 2013, Tinubu led a coalition to remove Jonathan, a fellow Southerner, to pave way for his own future ambition. If a northerner led that coalition, then I would have ignored it.

Was it politically smart? Yes.
Was it morally and democratically fair? No.
But he did it and it worked.

Now Atiku is being told not to do the same. Is atiku coalition to remove a southern president
1. Politically right = going by apc’s technicality, yes
2. Morally and democratically right = again by apc’s structure and technicality, yes

It’s hypocrisy. If Tinubu could betray a southern brother, Atiku leading a new coalition is not a crime. Do me I do you. It’s strategy.

Jonathan Was Only Accepted Because He Was Vice First
Another truth we must face. The only reason the North accepted Jonathan in 2011 was because he had already been vice president and acting president. He had proven himself. He was part of the system. He won 2011 election with 22,495,187 votes defeating Buhari with 12,214,853 votes.

In 2015, When it was time to choose between Jonathan and their own son, Buhari, again, they didn’t hesitate to vote against Jonathan.
Why?
Between 2011 and 2015, Buhari gained strong support through the formation of APC, backing from the North, and a powerful media campaign that weakened Jonathan’s image, particularly from Tinubu. Jonathan lost key supporters, faced internal party issues, and struggled with low voter turnout in his main regions. You see why I say ADC must be the bigger devil and willing to go lower.

Now ask yourself: has Obi earned that kind of national political weight yet?
Not yet.
And that’s okay but it means he needs to take a longer route. That’s not weakness. That’s wisdom.

We Cannot Ignore Religion
Religion still plays a major role in Nigerian elections. Tinubu knew this, which is why he boldly picked another Muslim as his running mate and it worked in the North.

Peter Obi is a southern Christian. If he runs alone, it gives political enemies room to stir fear among northern voters. It would be very easy to frame it as a Christian agenda. Insecurity has worsened under Tinubu’s leadership, yet he has shown little empathy or urgency in addressing the growing violence across the country. Ironically, many fear another Fulani president, but under a Southern one, killings have continued unchecked. This is a man who asked "Where are the cows" after Pa Fasoranti's daughter was killed by these men.

Let’s not pretend Nigeria is post-religious. It’s not.

Politics is Chess, Not Checkers— Obi vs Tinubu

Imagine this: You're playing against a grandmaster and by move 7, he sacrifices his queen (the most powerful piece on the board). You're thinking, “This guy don fumble.” . But what you don’t realize is; He already planned to checkmate you with a knight and a pawn------slowly, strategically, with moves you can’t even see yet. Without mercy. That’s what APC did in 2023. That’s what they will do again if we underestimate them in 2027.
Peter Obi might be holding the “queen” right now (public love, integrity, online army). But if he plays emotionally, and refuses to sacrifice, he risks losing to a knight-pawn combo built in the North and defended by incumbency.

Final Thoughts: Logic Over Sentiment
Obi is the hope of millions but hope is not a strategy. Love is not structure. And emotion is not a political plan. Tinubu has shown he can play ugly chess and still win. ADC must play dirty too and like I said must go lower.
If the opposition wants to win, they must:
1. Think 10 moves ahead and have back up plans.
2. Be ready to sacrifice.
3. Focus not just on strength, but position and timing.
If Obi runs as vice president to Atiku, wins, and governs as VP, he will gain northern goodwill, national acceptance, and the grassroots support he needs to win in 2031 or 2035. At that point, no region will be able to deny him.

But if he insists on running in 2027, and the votes are split again, APC will remain and Nigerians will suffer more than we ever imagined and know the true meaning of retrogression. The goal in the masses heart should be to remove APC from aso rock by any means. It is bigger than Obi and Atiku's ambition.

Let us not repeat the same mistake, my people. Let us not destroy our only chance to rescue Nigeria because of pride, ego, or blind sentiment. We must be the new nationalists for Nigeria. We fought for our independence from the British. Let us fight for our lives and independence this time from bad leaders. We must do right for the next generation.
