Rebuke:
Cows, keep running with lies, before this weekend ends, we will hear the truth again

This truth about his government when he was yet to become a presidential candidate?

Why do we all easily forget that Anambrarians lamented sorrowfully about the Peter Obi regime?

I remember that a Nairalander at that time referred to him as a very wicked and visionless man.

Kukutente23:
What exactly are you trying to say
You're neither here nor there and you couldn't even hit the middle ground like the writer did

The Ijaw lady mentioned by the writer was expected to play the role of an Igbo lover responding to the Igbo words of her man, and that she did.

That she is Ijaw or Fulani is not relevant.

As with Omotola's observation on the movie project that had errors the producers did not know due to not understanding the different African languages. But even when that error was brought to their notice, they did not care.

That is all there is to the matter.

But anyone who loves being a victim can continue on that path.

Klington:
There was a time this lady and the likes of olu Jacobs were acting igbo roles and nobody reported them for not pronouncing igbo words correctly.

And she has not accused anyone of not pronouncing Egun or Yoruba words.

Even those who were acting as Egun or Yoruba were not necessarily Yoruba.

The error she sought to correct was about the background Igbo exclamations in the movie production, that was supposedly set up as an Egun and Yoruba background.

Imagine General Nanisca (Viola Davis) in Woman King speaking Igbo instead of Fon spoken by the Dahomey?

Imagine King Ghezo acted by the Yoruba John Boyega, speaking the little Yoruba he knows instead of the Fon language of the Dahomey people he was leading against the Yorubas of Oyo?

Imagine the victorious Dahomey Agojie female warriors returning to Dahomey and the people welcoming them with Yoruba language songs instead of Fon language songs?

The crux of the matter is not the ethnicity of who acts what role, it is about not introducing an error based on your ethnicity into a script that should be otherwise.

Was Omotola or Olu Jacobs speaking Yoruba while acting as an Igbo girl or an Igbo Igwe?

If they did, won't the Igbo filmmakers of that project correct them?

Did the Americans know that the background exclamations made by the Igbo lady was not suitable to the setting of that movie? Did they even care when it was brought to their notice?

I realize that social media is all about generating traffic for matters that are not even worth examining nor debating.

Comparing apples to oranges.

Omotola's discussion centered around trying to correct cultural errors in the setting of the story being acted with an Egun and Yoruba background, while the ignorant American producers could care less about the accuracy of their production.

if the example cited about Ollie Gee's song was relevant, it would have been that the Ijaw lady would have been singing Ijaw choruses and making Ijaw exclamations instead of the Igbo chorus and exclamations we all enjoyed in that Igbo song.

Imaging Mr Ibu dancing like a Fulani in the musical video to Flavour's Ada Ada song?

A parting advice to all Igbos as I have always made on this forum. Stop cloaking yourselves with a persecution complex. You should refrain from always seeking to be a victim.

OBIDIENTNAIJA:
You're banking on rigging. Maybe Nnamdi Kanu prophecy is about to come through. Tinubu the last president of Nigeria. Because if Tinubu and INEC repeats that nonsense they did in 2023, everywhere go burst. All APC apologists lives will be in danger including you. Tinubu can never ever win a free and fair elections anywhere in the world.
Don't test the resolve of Nigerians. E no go funny
Enough said.

And your life as an Obidient apologist will be safe?

Typical of IPOB = POBI

WENGERNOMICS:
Lemme help you reframe your question: Which Northern States will Obi/Kwankwanso get if INEC and Tinubu are somehow convinced against vote manipulation and changing figures? He will get it from at least 15 northern states and 19 southern states. But we know Tinubu and INEC will not allow that. On election day 2023, a PDP chief agent in Lagos state reported that Labour party had over 900,000 votes in Lagos and APC had about 150,000 votes. But when the results were read, it was Labour 600,000 and APC 550,000. So we already know what will happen in 2027 . APC will rig and there is nothing anybody can do about it

And you believed the PDP agent because you were hopeful or delusional?

Ofunaofu:
Where are the TATA boys who were screaming, “Lamidi Apapa, the authentic Labour Party National Chairman?

After assaulting Apapa for demanding his right to party leadership, remind us how your cosy relationship with Abure later panned out?

They did not put Obi on a leash like NDC has done, that is why Abure had problems with the shameless ticket hunter.

I agree.

The North knows it is the turn of the South.

That is the man looking younger than Atiku but Atiku does not want to accept his own toga as the oldest presidential candidate in Nigerian history.

So he will rather call a younger Tinubu his egbon.

blackpanda:
They are extremely greedy. You want to use a business platform and pocket the entire money, but u expect the business to survive and still feed u. Some are even so wicked that they will insist on collecting double the fare and yet pay nothing to the company. That is pure greed and wickedness. Bolt and the others will soon follow suit.

Like this entitled fellow.

Nigerians are so greedy and ever ready to exploit. They can never abide by the rules or terms of service of a system they were not compelled to embrace.

FitCorper:
This giant hailing companies are just here to rip drivers. Bolt better do the needful else they’ll pack up very soon. Imagine being charged lower than keke fares and you collect high commission and still expect the drivers to be loyal? As for me, I call my price for you and you no agree just kindly cancel ride and look for your level. I pity those drivers who still abide by bolt fares.

Drivers like yourself are one side of the coin that represents the problem.

Go and look for your passengers and call any price you want, if you cannot abide by the terms of service of the app.

Very despicable drivers who are ready to ruin anything that comes their way.

Peter Obi: "Till today, no non Muslim governor has sent people to Mecca more than me. They said it when I went to Awka. When I do pilgrimage, I send people to Israel, I send people to Mecca, BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE WAY TO GO."

He is prudent with money that could have been used to build infrastructure, but when he is not saving it in his own bank where he was former Chairman, he is spending it on vehicles for traditional leaders and useless pilgrimages for useless Nigerians to Israel and Mecca.

He is even asserting that it is the way to go.

What a doofus.

Sowore really need to enter this charlatan fully.

Mattswaggz:
Use that positivity and develop the country to the level of US,China and their likes first and stop disturbing me with rubbish talk......is it positivity from the citizens that develops country or proper reforms and sacrifices from both leaders and citizens?.

What have you gained from your own negativity to this news?

Is it not reforms that have resulted in the increased investment in the upstream sector?

Do you have any idea the volume of field development activity over the past 18months and the increased activity projected for 2027?

Do you know the number of operating rigs that will be active in Nigeria before the end of 2027 due to the stable albeit high exchange rate and the 5yr production ambition that has been set by this present government for 2025 to 2030?

I have not met a single energy industry colleague who understands what is already going on and what is projected to be attained in the next few years, that does not want a continuation of the current Tinubu administration beyond 2027.

rolams:
But they can't rescue the students and teachers who were kidnapped before them. Hmmm! He get as he be oooo!

Don't be surprised.

The complexity is not the same, albeit, the security forces of Nigeria should be ready for all complexities

Theirs was a kidnap by local criminals that may even have been tipped off to commit the crime by domestic aides or relatives or political opponents, unlike a kidnap effected by a full-fledged terrorist group known as fulani bandits, who hide their victims in the forest.

Certainly not fulani herdsmen cum terrorists.

These are local riff-raffs who wanted to score some fast cash.

The government need to overhaul the security and legal sytem of this country, as every criminal mind now seem to know what I have long observed about Nigeria - that our security and safety only exist by luck and not by any strategic planning.

The mediocre Nigeria Police has still not evolved beyond these culprits escaping with gun shot wounds without police giving chase to capture or neutralize?

We might fault Atiku for his political greed, but we cannot claim he suffers from Obiphobia - the fear of political contest, especially party primaries.

Great!

A new dawn for Arsenal.

Bendeco02:
Did Jonathan ever promised to do only one tenure?

Can you drop video evidence where he made such statement?

You guys will just be posting rubbish.

@least we don't hear your previous slogan that no northerner will vote Igbo man. 2023 election cleared the doubt, now your have switched to another manipulation.

Assume Obi agreed to run joint ticket with Atiku, that will be a disrespect to Southerners. We are not like the region that aligned with North to remove southern president and now cries is turn for South.

Apart from tue fact that it was widely reported all over the news as an outcome of the negotiations in the PDP leading up to the PDP primaries and never refuted by the President and any of his media team or government officials, Jonathan himself referenced it in the buildup to that 2011 presidential election.

Till today, Jonathan has never denied that he agreed to do only 1 term.

Except you were a kid then would you even think this is worthy of a debate. This is not just news headlines, there are instances of his own quoted words like the Reuters news report. Or you want to debate with his quoted words?


https://www.reuters.com/article/world/africa/nigeria-president-says-hes-seeking-only-single-term-idUSLDE7101TW/

Age of consent in most latin American countrues us 15 or 14.

What is acceptable where he is from is a crime in the UK.

Just checked and he is from Spain where the age of consent is 16. Then he must be very goolish to have replied that he did not mind being with a 15yr old when he knows the implication of that even in his own country.

kinzd:
Have we all ask ourselves this question why was 2023 Election results announced by odd hours of 4am What APC cannot destroy doesn't exist

Did you see INEC complete the national tallying earlier in the day and then wait till 4am to announce the result.

Sometimes we should be employing our commonense.

aswani:
Dissapointed in this guy, why would you be hopping from one party to another.

I thought he was principled as well, I guess Nigerian politics happened to him.

Very Disappionted.

Like someone said, he has not built grassroot support and he is hoping that a bandwagon effect will get him elected.

Grass Cutter!

He carelessly spoke himself out of any meaningful political relevance during the last election cycle.

One thing I am certain is that no sane Nigerians would remove the Tinubu regime just to have an Atiku regime.

Tinubuofemmanu:
Useless Tinubu is 85 years old today

Why is the old birthday celebration record useless, but a newspaper that wrongly detailed the age of a Politician they were interviewing not about his age, then become the valid proof of age?

So because a newspaper made a mistake in properly determining the age of a politician that was being interviewed not about his age, then the mistake must become reality?

Did Tinubu celebrate his birthday the next year or the year after that and any one celebrated his age as 53yrs or 54yrs respectively?

Did Ovation Magazine wrongly recognizing Emegwali as Professor in their 2002 interview, ever changed the reality that the inventor was never a Professor?

Ofunaofu:
At this point, ‘controversial’ might as well be defined as Tinubu in the Oxford Dictionary.

How come Tinubu celebrated 60yrs in 2012, but Sahara Reporters was helping him to celebrate 69yrs?

Is it Sahara Reporters that will decide for Bola Tinubu the age he celebrated in 2012?

Many educated Nigerians behave like they do not have anything in their head.

What age was Tinubu celebrating for all of his years as Governor?

Did he celebrate 64yrs in 2007 which was his last birthday as Governor for him to have been celebrating 69yrs in 2012 according to Sahara Reporters?

Politics should not make us senseless.

ambale:
NTA runs a commercial business, when last has anyone audited their revenue??

Abi Dem no dey Everly get adverts ni?

Something is poorly run and instead make una talk una begin dey defend what's not

Is poorly run not part of having N137m budgeted for all the 36 NTA capital stations in the country?

Is that not a valid concern for which the government must be chastised?

You want results but you don't have funding. Better wake up.

UrVillageChief:
The same man they all called all sorts of derogatory names for being a failure as a Governor in 2011-12suddenly become the most desirable and upright politician in Nigeria just because he's now contesting against those who are not their kinsmen or do you think Obi would have been enjoying this cult-like followrship if Atiku and Tinubu were Igbos or if he was contesting against people like Willie Obiano, Charles Soludo or even Okorocha?
The problem with Nigeria is that every region protects its thieves and criminals and this particular one would criticize you for protecting yours while not hiding their own hypocrisy. Tinubu and Atiku never claimed to be saintly, it's only this particular teeff that is fond of claiming holiness despite the barrage of corruption allegations surrounding him. The only Nigerian politician that had that bragging right is the late Buhari. I personally do not like him but there's no denying the fact that he was a modest person. Though, people stole monies under him and he was a horrible leader but let's not deny the fact that he was never a thief.

Mai gaskiya can never the accused of theft or enrichment from public office.

Same cannot be said of the one whose name is all over the Pandora disclosures and hid wealth under his daughter's name.
