I said at least 50%.by the way,he isn't from Enugu and Enugu is pdp strongest state.there are a lot of igbos that will not vote obi

SmartyPants:
My responses here indeed show that I am a hypocrite. A shameless hypocrite for that matter.
I think Tinubu is a criminal because he used bullion vans and also mentioned in a pandora accounts but I will however stalk Obi that came out to clear the air why he was mentioned and not Tinubu that called it a bluff. why should I be shameful?

If you give a fund manager 100 naira to manage for you and he returns 40 naira to you and says it was because of inflation won't you have him arrested? Oh...let me guess, you actually know how these things work.

Am I being shameless by focusing on the profit aspect of it in order to divert attention from the general inflation caused by the government that I brought in?, Peter Obi's honest decision to take the people's money and put it into a company, in order to enrich the state. An investment that had almost doubled it invested capital in 2019 .

Am I not entirely a shameless and silly boy to engage you when I was supposed to be productive to my family elsewhere? Gosh! this stipend from Tinubu is counter productive I swear

SmartyPants:
Your last line shows that you still don't get it.

Are you and I supposed to be online defending any of them or are we supposed to be thinking of how we can get all of them out?? Why should you defend Peter Obi's wrongs? Do you owe him or does he owe you??

Now:

1. During end SARs, he was vocal hence the birth of Awkuzu SARS propaganda/allegation during his tenure.

Is that propaganda or fact?? Was he not the governor at the time of the massacre? Was the notorious James Nwafor not known to Peter Obi?

Did Peter Obi say anything about it?

That is the question you should answer, not beating about the bush. Dear fellow youth, Why see A and call it B? Remember, Obi owes you, not you owing him some duty to twist the truth in his defence.

2. Using SARs against his political enemies? Your own propaganda I guess? I have never heard of this your own version of campaign of calumny.

That you don't like the truth doesn't make it a campaign of calumny. Such a comment shows that your intentions are not pure. Instead of asking for evidence, you resort to insults as a defence. Again, why? What is motivating this level of defensiveness?

Well, this is information in the public domain:

Peter Obi himself, had a case to answer before the End Sars panels:

Sadly, he treated this case with disdain:

https://punchng.com/you-cant-try-peter-obi-lawyer-tells-endsars-panel/

You don't even know the person you are exerting yourself to defend. How genuine is your defence then??

3. The aid was caught with N250M, for you to say unknown purpose shows that you have refused to believe his own side of the story. I believed his own side of it.

Lol. Just like that? Someone withdrew 250 million in cash, as against ethics and the law and you say you believe him without any shred of proof? People like you are the problem of Nigeria honestly. Becasue he may happen to be our kinsma you refuse to acknowledge that what he did was indeed a textbook corrupt practice, but if Tinubu says he is not corrupt, you won't believe that one.

Wake up!

4. A man who ploughed state funds into his private enterprise? Would you rather he had invested it into something he did not trust?

I would rather he conducted himself with integrity, and use the money for what it was meant for. And if he must invest, he ought to have invested following ethical principles.

Besides, when you talk about trustworthy investments, is it that you don't know that the investment made lost value by more than 60%?? A complete and total wast of about 7 million USD that should have been used for infrastructural developments.

But that is okay, since anyone can make an economic mistake. What is important is that he did not act ethically!!


Try to be sincere.

SmartyPants:
I thought that was the point? That we don't want any of those who are from the old establishment? In reality Peter Obi has spent his entire career in AGPA and PDP, and while there is some good that he did, he maintained the same pattern as the establishment.

Why do we pretend??

A man who kept mum when SARS rained havoc on the youths?

A man who used SARS against his political opponents?

A man whose aide was caught with a quarter of a billion naira in cash for unknown purposes?

A man who ploughed state funds into his private enterprise?

Between me and you, is Peter Obi sincerely not a regular member of the establishment?

RelevantUpdates:
The Problem is that these people are all incompetent.

They have been in offices before, and we know their corrupt practices and capacity already.


Wise Nigerians just have to face their respective businesses and invest Rightly in The Right Cryptos so that they can better improve themselves and their community.


Nothing good can come out from recycled political thieves.




We need to learn that.

SmartyPants:
In 2019 you didn't have Moghalu, Sowore, and other non-establishment people to choose from?

Lol.

What we are even saying is, okay, now you have Obi, go ahead and choose him. But to turn around and lambast PDP after you ran on their ticket as running mate to Atiku?

That means Obi was deceiving Atiku then, or he is deceiving the youths now.

Either way, a deceiver is a deceiver.

Temptee101:
And who is the leading candidate? Atiku?

Guy wake up! Atiku is losing this election big time

candidtalk:
Has he lied? Was Obi not in the PDP till a few months ago ,and preparing to contest the Primaries of the Party?

Today he is looking to discredit the Party as unfit.You can make it about discrediting Okowa, the messenger, but the message is 100% correct.

TakeNigeriaBack:
What a show of shame! Obi does not have the temperament of a leader. Ordinary Dino is making him lose his cool and opening his mouth so wide. He should forget 2023. No be curse. Na fact.

Neddstark:
You Obidient clowns. You gave him a title he's yet to win. His excellency indeed.

SmartPolician:
Peter Obi hasn't seen anything yet.

Anywhere they invite him, he must attend.

Even when he has to interact with riffraffs in the presidential election, he will be there exchanging ideas with them.

I liked Atiku for attending a presidential debate and leaving when Buhari wasn't there.

Give some regards to yourself.

What was Peter Obi doing in a town hall meeting that the candidates of the ruling party didn't consider important to attend?

VEHINTOLAR:
What exactly would you have done Ipob terrorist ? You guys in that tiny enclave just like chest beating too much ! So,assuming that Tijubu l campaign trains appeared in the east on Monday,you guys would shoot at them or something ? We know you guys are stupid but I don't want to believe you'll be that foolish to even think of trying that !

Believe it or not,the campaign in the east was rescheduled so as to encourage people to come out or what is the essence of having a campaign when people are scared of coming out of their houses because they know that some crazy bloodsucking fools are out there waiting to kill them ? Trust me,the campaign committee just averted a certain calamity that was sure to befall Igbo people,especially those living outside of your region,should you guys try to be funny if the campaign was to go as earlier scheduled !

It is in your own best interests not to do anything stupid throughout Asiwaju's campaign in the east. If you allow your senseless emotions to becloud logical reasoning,trust me,the consequences will be too catastrophic for you guys to handle !

We are hoping that common sense will prevail whenever Tinubu's campaign trains move to the East. F.uck your cowardly Ipob and ugm,south east here we come on Tuesday !

NigeriaIsGreat:
Tinubu will lord and rule over your kindred for good 8 years just as Buhari is currently rulling over them

Durabest:
I don't know who is turning south against south but from what is possible peter obi will be the first presidential candidate to congratulate Tinubu.Winning Tinubu in a presidential election is like waiting for sun to shine at 1 a.m midnight.Tinubu has the trust of Nigerians written all over him.He Tinubu has what it takes to make Nigeria great.

Zetra7:
Am just curious, is the hate real or just politics.

I mean, who would hate a man like that who has shown clearly that he is different from our normal politicians.

I don't quite understand, is it cause he's Ibo? I remember quite well during Okonjo Iweala's battle to become the DG of WTO, some Nigerians even supported blocking her from the job cause her tribe, is the same thing playing out with Peter Obi??


Ok, but politics aside, who will hate men like the Former Emir of Kano Sanusi or Akinwumi Adesina for their passion to see a New Nigeria, why the hate for a man that have proved himself to be worthy to help us.


Let's relate guys, we are the masses right? We have felt the impact of the dark cloud covering the nation for a long time, How is it difficult to choose from the Atiku, Tinubu and Obi.

Now am not saying any of them is perfect but guys, we are choosing between men bent on the old ways and a man who wants to charter a new path.

For the first time, we have a very learned, vast travelled, very exposed intellect vying for presidency, for the first time , we have a man very close to the masses and not some Kings lording over us.


I mean, we know this is not pretense, a clear record of his past is there, with cutting cost of governance, fixing his state during his tenure to saving extras for the next government.


How do we even argue, debate or compare. It's a bit strange for me don't know sbout you. If there was Osinbajo on the ballot and El rufai, it would have made a huge difference.


Again I ask , are we not the masses Can anyone swear a life and death oath that this man is not better than those old crooks, why the hate then??


We have seen the effect of a Buhari, do you think you reading this will escape the effect of Atiku or Buhari? Even if you live abroad, you have families here and you will likely come back to visit.


Britain after playing foul politics with the just gone prime minister felt the negative imapct and quickly retraced their path by choosing a 42 year old, Indian to govern them based on competence.


In Nigeria, we pray every minute for Nigeria to change yet God sends a Saviour and what do you do, hate him.

Rishi Sunak is God's sent to Britain as Peter Obi is your Saviour, if you like don't accept him and keep praying for God to come down himself to help.


For the first time , we have all the political elites on one side INCLUDING POLITICAL ELITES FROM HIS TRIBE and have a Peter Obi leading the masses on the other side, PLEASE, is this not the best opportunity to drown all these corrupt emperors politically?


Nobody sees Peter Obi family in the election ever his wife is minding her business cause she knows just like in Anambra , she's not getting an office of first lady but just look at Tinubu and Atiku, their wives and their children.


People of Nigeria wake up from slumber, don't know if this is juju, hailing oppressors and fighting saviours, Nawoooooo


Again I ask , why do you hate this man??

voltron14:
Ndigbo in Lagos.

CoolAmbience:
Lol!

Cheap rhetorics!

How suicidal are the Second Niger Bridge, Warri-Itakpe Railway, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Zungeru Hydropower Plant, Bonny-Bodo Bridge, Lagos-Ibadan Railway, Calabar-Cameroun Highway, Apapa-Oshodi-Oworoshoki Highway, Ogbia Water Project, Ziks Masoluem Project, Revolution in rice production, Airports upgrade, revitalized Fertilizer Blending Plants, Three-year JAMB result validity period, Pension payment to ex Biafran security operatives, retired FAAN staff etc, Schools Feeding Program, Anchor Borrower's Scheme, other social Investment initiatives etc.

You should come talk to me on how to rid your heart of hate and petty sentiments in order to attain normal human rationality.

OsunOriginal:
What stops the followers from holding the leaders accountable? What stops you and I, if we are sure the leaders are the problem, from shutting down the country and chasing them out? Don't say the north or south won't join protests - you don't need everybody to be there. Most of the protests that changed governments only happened in key cities like Lagos, Cairo, Paris, etc. You don't need everybody.

So, I still believe there is a serious issue with followership in Nigeria

OsunOriginal:

It is convenient to put all the blames on leaders while we continue, individually, to act and behave in ways that are destructive. Leaders are from among us or are they from elsewhere?
