I'm yoruba and I live in lagos. Let campaign start. Waa riran wo. Tinubu should have presented and supported Osinbajo or fashola instead of coming out. He dared us and we'd punish him with our pvc

Osibanjo would have been a great candidate... Osibanjo contesting against Obi would have made us a serious country thinking about improving

Beremx:
Jagabandits waiting for Sheikh by the roadside...

What's the situation in your part of Lagos? Is Peter Obi message getting to the core Yoruba there? Or tribal card is winning?

Cromagnon:
what do ideas turn into?
Are ideas free.?

I don't understand your question or it doesn't make sense ...

Politics of ideas comes when the contestants engages their constituents intellectually... churning out their plans and programs for the people...which is what Peter Obi is doing now...

Unlike what we use to have which is politics of money, blackmail and intimidation...Politics of intimidation is when we see MC OluOmo and co thrive...Politics of blackmail is when we see the media distort facts and flood us with half truths, Outright lies and propaganda...which is why lots of politicians rushed to open or own media outfits...and politics of money is where we see bullion van and vote buying excelling...

bewla:
Thanks for your time and explanation

One thing is theory the other pratical


Many issue have been analysis but when put to test in Nigeria they backfire

Give us a more realistic solution

Soludo and Sanusi implemented a part of what he said during their terms as CBN Governors and it worked tremendously well...

So what's about realistic solution?

AdolfHitlerxXx:
Obi didnt bring any votes from South East.

Igbos have chosen to serve faithfully as PDP slaves. Its their choice... just respect it.

Or how do you explain them choosing PDP over Ojukwu who shamelessly lost Presidential and Senatorial elections back-to-back?

You're confused Bro...

If Igbo has chosen to be dutiful slaves of PDP, why hasn't PDP won elections in Anambra state as a party outside national elections?

Why are they jittery now when Peter Obi isn't on their ballot? Why are they losing sleep? Let's see how far they go now

MyMouth:
No biggie! Jus those that lost their return ticket. If they are really strong politician, they wouldn't have lost their return ticket

Some of these tickets were given to the governor's loyal men...not necessarily more popular candidates...

Is Shekarau a small politician? But he lost out...How about Aliero? Etc...oga wake up ooo

Finally, some these guys are already tested and trusted having undergone elections and won. They've more field experience... unlike the new loyal men having the tickets...

Remember, every vote matters... APC is dying

Just look at mental illness... PDP lost because of Peter Obi that won his booth, LGA, state and region and NEVER because of Atiku that lost his booth ?

How Reno thinks for some of you is ridiculous...and a grown up people are celebrating the news

The establishment was anti Peter Obi and yet PDP won all southeast states and did marginally high in states like ANAMBRA STATE where the sitting governor actively campaigned against Peter Obi...

Now, since Obi has left PDP, let's see what numbers that they can do again without him...

And can he do a comparative analysis of total numbers of votes from southeast Vis a vis other regions?

I was thinking he should be hyping on the good sides of his candidate and not discussing opposition candidate who doesn't reply or give him attention...

And fortunately, he's helping Peter Obi to consciously remain active in the minds and hearts of the populace and nation by endlessly talking about him...

Lots of irritating and baseless arguments on an intellectual thread that should've made people to think and think...only to be messed with idle talks... Nigeria is finished with ignorant populace

bewla:
One thing I find here is am lost from what he just said
I believe it's just all story

What's he saying that make sense

I was thinking his going to look how to remove burue de change
And reduce national assembly

Thanks for accepting you're lost...

This is beyond you and I will explain a bit...

First, he is discussing economy/economic management... Issues about NASS is administrative and constitutional...

BDC aren't bad just that you need to manage their excesses... which shouldn't be decreed.

What he just said here will address such issues raised by an elderly Yoruba man who swore to miss Paradise if he doesn't vote Peter Obi...

Thank You

Feel free to ask me more questions

casualobserver:
do you actually understand what he is saying? The man is clueless!! but ofcourse his supporters are too dumb to understand what he just tweeted. I am sure Obi himself does not understand what he just posted probably Utomi who told him what to type.
Well let me explain to you idiots. The Nigerian economy needs expansionist policies not contractionary monetary policies. The ley word there for those of you who have a brain is "contraction". you use contractionary monetary policies when your economy is overheating and there is inflation, like currently exists in the US. Nigeria's inflation isnt caused by an overheating economy, it is caused largely by imported inflation due to plummeting exchange rate. You dont solve that problem by contracting the economy, what you will then induce is stagflation or depression, a situation where the economy is contracting due to tightening of liquidity in the economy and inflation is still rising (because the primary cause of inflation (devaluating currency) is not adressed.
It shows the man and his team have absolutely no understanding of how economies work!! I am dissapointed in Utomi if he has a hand in this, I thought he was more intelligent than this. If only Obi knew how much of a fool he has just made himself look in front of knowledgeable people!!

My goodness...you're arrogantly ignorant... sorry Oga... big sorry...smh

Parachoko:
Some of you just love arguing for arguing sake.

The Govt. followed your advise and saw how disastrous it is, they had to intervene when they saw how the naira was falling against the dollar.

If not for the CBN intervention, the naira will be more than ₦1500 against the US dollar by now.

If the exchange rate is determine by the forces of demand and supply, naira to Dollar might be close to ₦2000 right now

Your idea have been tried and it failed.

Nigeria is not ready for such a policy.

I think you're not reasoning well because you don't like Peter Obi...

He talked about policies that will exponentially grow the economy such that the naira will be allowed to freely find its level and feet in the market...Base of every robust economy is SMES(grow them and economy thrives); Peter just dropped conscious and active plans on growing them...He also talked about boosting investors confidence by dropping a legal framework protecting their investment and then their local partners... Oga, how would naira not be strong under such conditions? I knew Buhari didn't mean well immediately he killed YouWin( an active Government initiative at growing SMES)...and backed by Tinubu's best hands, they bequeathed us anarchy.

But instead of reading with understanding, you rushed to castigate him...Drop emotions

Buhari didn't put those measures in place, so if they allow naira to find its feet, wahala go full everywhere

donsoronzo:
But FG didn’t borrow for consumption they actually borrowed for project

Not true...

Even Finance minister once said they borrow to meet up with recurrent expenditure

seunmsg:
The is a silly interpretation that cannot withstand any legal scrutiny. Peter Obi is the candidate of Labour Party and both cannot be legally separated for the purpose of the election. Political parties are made up of people and as such, the law is applicable to all members of the party. Diaspora donation to Peter Obi is the same as diaspora donation to Labour Party. Obi better be properly guided before mischievous lawyers put him in trouble.

Arrogantly ignorant...

Ever asked yourself why in Election Tribunal, the Party is noted differently from the candidate?

Let's go there...

Peter Obi is the candidate...Labour Party is the vehicle...rescuing Nigeria from collapse is the goal...and winning the 2023 election is assured

Peter Obi while speaking to Nigerians in New York say, I never stole public funds. God should punish me and my family if I ever did that.
The president of America’s networth is $1,800,000. I have more than that. I’m in a 3rd war country, but God has blessed me. Why should I steal public funds?

If Peter Obi could afford a house in abroad that's above a million before entering government with his litany of businesses then he is anything he says he is...

If his wealth is suspect, FG and APC would've been everywhere with arrests and litigations unfortunately who God has blessed no man can curse

Obinoscopy:
Yes, his 8-yr stint as governor was what made me come to that conclusion. Before the advent of Obi and Ngige, we never knew Anambra State had money to do anything. The roads were in disarray, there were lots of armed robbery, thuggery and jungle justice, salary and pensions were not paid, lots of labor strikes. Back then, we sincerely believed there was no money in Government. But Ngige came in and turned the tide, Peter Obi took over and continued in the direction of good governance. Lots of roads were built, salaries and pensions were paid, security improved, hospitals built, education revamped, all these were done with State Government resources. It was like a miracle. This is the reason why Anambarians don't believe in PDP because they were the ones that made us believe that there was no money in Anambra State. Anambrarians however will never forget the good governance from Peter Obi and Chris Ngige.

Peter Obi might be corrupt as he was part of the old political system but his governance style is different from the regular politician. However Tinubu is fantastically corrupt, same goes for Atiku. Nigerians in their wisdom know that it might be difficult to sell the candidacy of a politician who is not connected to the old system e.g Sowore, so they opted for someone who is connected to the old system but also connected to the new....Peter Obi. Peter Obi is my brother, but that's not the main reason why I'm supporting him. If he were Rochas or Orji Uzor Kalu, or Chinwoke Nnamani or Ikpeazu, I wouldn't support him. But the likes of Peter Obi, Soludo, Okonji Iweala, Chris Ngige, Kingsley Moghalu, I will always support because of their pedigree and track record.

Nice one... Apologies for calling you a Tinubu stooge or urchin

lailo:
Lagos and Anambra States both have governed are the capacity, competence and confidence we should be talking about. Go and look at the two states and come back to convince me.

Lagos is Nigeria capital for over half a century...

What's your point?

Anambra state was created 1991...

dheilaw1:
but you were advocating against tribalism na. Stop confusing yourself

Oga, sit down and learn that equity and justice isn't tribalism...

Unfair advantage or unjust treatment of equals is tribalism or nepotism or

Cromagnon:
which other politics is there apart from money politics?

Politics of idea(s)...

It's been a long time. How far?

bewla:
If he buy then he won't server as he promised


Don't worry the pancake you want to put as Biafra bado won't work

What class are you now?

lailo:
Yoruba supporting Yoruba is tribalism but Igbo supporting Igbo is nigerianism

Here, unfortunately we're talking about capacity, competence, and confidence...Tinubu lacks all but Peter Obi has all...

So if as a Yoruba, I see these deficiencies in Tinubu and still insist on him, then it's tribalism cum myopia

Haznab06:
And your man is a youth right? Delusional set of people. Why not support Sowore is seems younger? Spit

Rattle snake...keep spitting

Sonyboom765:
When one chose to ignore your foolish soul you never desist from being foolish. A Tinubu that round defeated very with twice the vote of the close if not triple is who you claim is not accepted by Nigerians. Those that voted at the convention were they Portuguese or is your brain completely damaged ?!

Go back to school please

dheilaw1:
if you are not tribalistic, then support sowore

And that will give SW how many years in presidency? Where's your sense of justice, equity and fairness?

Moh247:
Your opinion your right

I support a 70 years old Business Administration Accounting Major Chicago State University graduate

A former senator two terms Governor of Lagos State .... Hero of democracy through NADECO

If I don't attack you for your choice common sense dictate you don't attack me for mine

We both came to a restaurant, you ordered for Akpu and nsala, I ordered for Amala and Abula soup, then you walk up to my table to tell me I am eating shit

.

Non Sequitur...Your analogy doesn't make sense...it doesn't follow... Remember, your choice affects me that's why I am objecting to it...I allowed you to choose last time and you chose Buhari twice for me...I can't allow you a third time...Your sense of judgement isn't topnotch

Moh247:
Yet same youth Supporter from Ibo land support a 62 years old Ibo man and not Sowore the youngest candidate


Talk about hypocrisy

And aside age, which Peter Obi has on his side,justice, equity and fairness favours his region than Sowore or anybody else...

Yoruba cried blue murder in 1998/1999 and everybody supported them...Even Ogbonnaya Onu stepped for a yoruba man. Ekwueme was manoeuvred out of a party he was one of brainchild...And Igbo overwhelmingly voted Yoruba man in OBJ as against an Igbo man in Ojukwu...

Next, Yoruba had another 8years as VP and yet want another 8years as President again...Define greed, insensitivity, avariciousness?

Moh247:
Yet same youth Supporter from Ibo land support a 62 years old Ibo man and not Sowore the youngest candidate


Talk about hypocrisy

62 is a ripe age for such high leadership role...

On Sowore, if he believed that Buhari was good for Nigeria, then I have no reason to trust his sense of judgement subsequently...Wisdom isn't about trial and error kinda of action that's what Sowore has...

And can you look at the level negative energy he churns out? Gutter language? A good leader should be above board in terms of sanity and politeness...

Peter Obi is incoming Nigeria's president come 2023...Amen

NgeneUkwenu:
This Shows Peter Obi Has The North On Lock Down.

Congratulations, Obi-dients.

lalasticlala Mynd44

Why not worry about your candidate than this?

Peter Obi's loss of northern voters doesn't mean a Tinubu win...

So cry me a River for your unfortunate fate and that of agbado master
