I could remember that Peter Obi came to power on the 17th March 2006 while the famous Onitsha crisis, which led to the killings of Northerners, occurred on the 21st and 22nd day of February 2006. That was almost a month gap.
Our first meeting with Obi also coincided with his first visit to the town; all arrangements were done to receive the first citizen of the state and also to explain our predicament to him at that moment. As refugees in Army Barrack Onitsha, we took him from the barrack round to the affected areas of the crisis such as Bida Road central to see some houses burnt within the area, and then to Oba of yoruba house and palace that was razed down along sokoto and ifejika streets, then down to bridge head market by the express, where all Northern markets were burnt down. There alone, more than 100 lives were lost and properties worth billions destroyed.
The following businesses were destroyed and burnt completely
1. Goat Market (Northerners)
2. Cola market (Which comprised of North and
Western interest)
3.Beans and Rice Market (Northerners) 4. Onions Market (Northerners)
5. Vegetables oils (Northerners)
6. Arewa parks which comprises of Maiduguri, Bauchi, Gombe, Sokoto, Yola, Kano, Mubi and many Northern states.
7. Osogbo park (Yorubas)
But to our greatest surprise, the first thing that came out of Peter Obi's mouth was, "you people should tell your people to also stop killing our people in the North." It was like a bomb! Everyone was shocked We couldn't believe a whole Chief Executive Officer of a state who should be for everybody, a "Governor so to say, could utter such a disgusting and an intolerant statement in the public! We all were disappointed and dispersed without even murmuring a word. Peter Obi sent a chill down our spines!
The rest was history; Peter Obi didn't even feel any pity for the lives lost nor the properties destroyed, not to talk of giving out any form of relief materials or compensation of any sort to the biggest community of settlers in the state.
Secondly, at a point in his Administration, Peter Obi decided to eject and takeover those markets mentioned earlier from the Northerners. These are markets which the Northerners had been in possession since 1974 when they were relocated from Ochanja market by the then military government. The Hausa community, thereby, rejected his moves to take them over without any provision or replacement for their original place of business.
To our surprise, Governor Peter Obi ordered the deployment of Military men, who invaded the market and took no prisoners. They shot and killed 7 (Seven) innocent market men among the protesters.
It's not easy to suddenly lose our places of income and sources of living without any replacement. So, we petitioned the matter to the office of the Sultan of Sokoto who in response sent two Emirs, that of Suleja and the Etsu of Nupe, to appease him, but even all that brought no fruitful solution. The governor stood his ground and refused to provide an alternative land for the Markets.
Eventually, his Eminence, the Sultan of Sokoto, had to visit the governor to beg on our behalf solely for him to provide another place for the continuation of our businesses, but 'the almighty Peter Obi refused to change position all because we are NORTHERNERS not IGBOS.
Because we are Northerners, Obi felt we didn't deserve a land for our businesses in Anambra State. In fact, in one of our meeting with him he openly said to us and I quote, "you people are foreigners here, therefore you have no right to our land" - a clear case of an intolerant leader. Obi's discrimination and hatred to us clearly defined him as a bigot to the core. Peter Obi forgot that a day like today will come when he will need northerners for his political ambition, he forgot that there are over a Million Igbos of Anambra state origin who are scattered all over the North living comfortably with their families and businesses. So, for Obi's insensitivity and high-handedness, all the traders relocated to Asaba with their families and businesses.
NOW TELL ME, How would Peter Obi treat Northerners if he is elected the President of Nigeria? WORST OF IT ALL, Peter Obi said emphatically that he hated seeing Hausas at the point of entering of Anambra state from Delta state. What a bigot!!
Thirdly, towards the tail end of Peter Obi's administration which coincided with the anniversary of the creation of Anambra state, we were invited by the organizers of the program who is an igbo lady residing in the North. But while making a point on the need to foster unity among Nigerians and suggested that an exchange program should be established where young people from the state should be send to Kano in Exchange for Kano Young Vocational trainees, Peter Obi quickly took over the microphone and said, there is no comparison between the North and the East not to talk of sharing skills and knowledge. He also added that such comparison is like asking China to come to Nigeria to learn Manufacturing business. He made this assertion in the public and I could remember it was the then governor of River state, Chief Rotimi Amaechi, that chaired the occasion.
Moreover, sometimes in 2018, an Igbo Bar man in Niger drive GRA Onitsha invited a Hausa Man to be selling Suya meat in front of his bar just to attract more customers to his business. The distance of the bar is about 300 metres away from Peter Obi's house, but to our greatest shock, Peter Obi invited DSS from Awka to forcibly eject the Hausa Man from the place. His offence - he was a Hausa Man from the North who should not be seen in the GRA. It took the intervention of the landlord and Arewa leaders in the the state to stop Peter Obi from perfecting his illegal motives against the Hausa Man. It should also be of note that Peter Obi equally forcefully deported people of Northern extraction back to Kaduna during his tenure as governor of Anambra state.
Now, what will Peter Obi tell people of the North if he visits any of the Northern States during campaign? How will he be able to prove that he will be a leader for all, going by his notorious antecedent?
In view of all the above Peter Obi's divisive kind of leadership and his unprovoked notorious actions against the North and Northerners, I make bold to say that he is not worthy of a single VOTE from any patriotic Northerner ('Yan Arewa) and Westerners (Yorubas). Obi is an extremely ethnic bigot and a personality very dangerous to be trusted with the highest office of the land. No matter who Peter Obi takes as his Presidential running Mate from the North, we shouldn't trust him.
In his interactive session with NESG over the weekend, presidential candidate for the APC Bola Ahmed Tinubu unveiled one of his master plan to revive the failing economy of Africa's most populous nation.
"We eat the skin of our cows instead of turning them to beautiful bags and shoes. Eliminate that. It's a sign of poverty. It cannot be perpetual." said Tinubu to the glorious cheers of the 3 man crowd, as he unveiled his desire to bring an end to the consumption of the popular dish commonly known as "Kpomo" to many lovers of Nigerian food.
It is still to be seen if sitting President Buhari endorses this move given that most of the cattles raised in the country are by his tribesmen. More to follow <3
You can find the incredible moment at 16:14 in the video below (link below should take you straight to the timestamp) <3
They were very good and practical steps that could end the crisis.
Peter obi is without a doubt the best candidate and the best choice for Nigerians in 2023, but my advice is that you take some time off Twitter and do your own research into Tinubu.
PS : I no be Urchinz ooo
Brother I engage in good faith:
What do you make of his alleged history of thuggery and corruption, to put it mildly?
What do you make of his alleged health status? Do you think he’s still mentally and physically capable to lead our great nation (if he ever was)? If not then who would really be running the country if he wins? Do you have any idea?
What do you make of the fact that APC have given us the worst federal government in the history of our great country? Do you think rewarding such monumental failure with re-election will have positive consequences for our children and their children?
Osidazz19: Another prediction from me: Tinubu winning RiVers will be the first shocker on the day of election. Once they announce that he has won Rivers, then people like you will start to accept slowly that the man go win the election. Just wait and see. Get your brain and mind ready for what you don't want but it's about to happen.
Thank you bro. Because of your kind words my brain and mind is now ready for Tinubu to win the balon dor too. It’s happening
duro4chang: I don't talk dirty to people. I will rather follow what the bible says that 'Do not answer a fool according to his foolishness so that you will not be like him. Answer a fool according to his foolishness so that he will not be wise in his own eyes'.
duro4chang: E pain you? Truth is bitter. See how you are panting and sweating just because of my comment. Election has not come you are nervous. Tinubu is the next president. Obi will never never win.
You caught me sha, your erotic fantasy got me all panty and sweaty can’t lie <3
duro4chang: Tinubu is the next president of this country. He will have 25% in at least 28 states. I am very sure of that.
Even if your fantasy comes through he won’t get 25% in Abuja. Read the OP again if you’re capable. If you’re not then enjoy your mental masturbation <3
APC drawing pie charts so they can criticise the APC federal government without criticising the president from APC to try to defend APC from attackers who are also APC so that they can win election for APC
PrinceOfLagos: This wicked prayer of yours on Nigeria will fail in February 25th
I don’t blame anybody anymore. The suffering APC have caused by giving us the worst federal government in the history of our great country is taking its toll on otherwise decent people
OP is just suffering from a brutal case of Stockholm syndrome with tribalistic side effects. You have to find someone to blame for your problems and when things are this dark it’s easy to just shoot at any direction
God willing he will be delivered from his ailment when we booth APC out of power in a few days time
@Ekundayo7574 Hang in there bro. Our thoughts are with you through this difficult time. There’s light at the end of the tunnel. Obi is coming
If the candidate gets a majority of “yes” over “no” votes cast in the election and at least a quarter of votes cast in at least 24 States and the Federal Capital Territory.
The straightforward interpretation of that line means that the candidate needs 25% in 24 states and also needs 25% in FCT. That is a tall order for some parties.
We all know that in a normal circumstances APC have less than a zero chance of winning this election after giving us the worst federal in the history of our great country. But due to their “structures”, which is just dog-whistle for thuggery, vote-buying, vote-suppression and vote-rigging we have to acknowledge they have a tiny chance.
The questions are:
1) do APC even have any chance in the first ballot since they need 25% in Abuja which looks unlikely
2) if there is no winner in the first ballot and by some miracle APC hit 25% in 15 states but do not meet the 25% threshold in FCT and PDP for example hit 25% in 14 states plus FCT, then who will make the run off? Surely FCT carries some weight according to the constitution
jumper524: In shettima word. "I believe there are more people more competent In the southeast than gringory" The likes of Rochas and umahi are more better and competent with reasonable track record. But the bigoted people on this forum wants to enforce a man who failed as governor to us Nigerians. So ASUU can keep going on strike like he did in his state. Or he can increase schoolfess by 300% and tell us education is not for the poor. Ogun go strike any ediot when dey hype this ediot.
Okay now. Go and support your dinosaur and his party that have given us the worst federal government in the history of our great country
VERDA: See ehn bro, APC is loosing Niger to PDP, you guys dont understand whats about to hit APC in most of these states.
Jonathan didn’t give us the worst government in the history of our great country but was still kicked out as an incumbent president with all his “structures” lol
But these people think they’re special. These snowflakes will learn a political lesson very soon. APC have been rejected up and down this country
In a legitimate process they stand no chance. Let’s see how strong their structures (which is just dog whistle for thuggery, vote-buying, vote-suppression and vote-rigging) are on election day
Jazey: This isn't even a drone captured image and it's this embarrassing. Can BAT read the handwriting on the wall and throw in the towel already? This is too embarrassing and shameful.
Can APC even get 25% in Abuja? The constitution says you need that to have any chance of winning in the first ballot.
Oya go and collect your balance from Tinubu. No wait until after election day oh because we no sure the old man go still de this Nigeria like this after
You’re doing good work with this propaganda you deserve to be compensated in full king <3
nameo: If you urchinns just stopped at this sort of fooolishness, we will understand somewhat. It is foooolishness but at least some will also say it is politics!!
But what we will not accept or tolerate is when the idioots amongst you APC urchinns will go and FORGE letters(twice in 2 days) and insult all Christians and Christianity by blatantly accusing CAN(the umbrella body of all Christains in Nigeria) of collecting bribes(when something like that never happened).
You guys in APC are now so degenerate that you would continue to INSULT Christains this way without any fear. You were the guys that introduce Muslim-Muslim ticket. You were the party that brought out FAKE bishops in total jest of Christianity. And now this.
There surely will be consequences
Tinubu told them to hit as hard and as low as possible. They’re just following their desperate master. Let the old man have his hope with this nonsense for two more weeks
We will soon put him out of his misery on election day. Tinubu himself will thank us for rejecting him and his hopeless party in his concession speech. We are doing him a favour lol
tinsel: He is still in trauma after drone exposed Labour party yesterday. It was like that in Lagos, only God knows the extent they went to doctor other state rallies. Yesterday exposed labour party to be an empty party with existence only in social media.
Propaganda paid for and delivered by Tinubu co.
Times are hard no fight anybody abeg. Let my guy tinsel and his friends hustle in peace here
johnmartus: Peter obi say nothing is wrong with 1999 constitution when a former attorney general of federation a legal luminary chief Afe babalola condemned 1999 constitution and made it know that no president can deliver a dividend of democracy under 1999 constitution.
I just pity you fool that shouting peter obi up and down someone that only his mission is to how to expand his business and turn is his little territory to large empire.
Tinubu can restructure Nigeria because he has already said he don't believe in federal system of government.
Imagine supporting the party that gave us the worst federal government in the history of our great country. I hope they’re paying you well lol
