Stop responding to naysayers, they are paid urchins sent to discourage Obi's spontaneous rise. Ignore them.

They say LP does not have structure. Which structure did PDP have in 1999? We the masses that will vote Obi are the structures.

We mooooove!

It’s pointless appealing to them. To them the election is about tribalism. It always has been. The only reason they don’t wanna vote Peter is because he is an Igbo man. The hate they feel for those people is astounding.
And somebody wants to convince me that Nigeria will be a great country. Future impossible tense

Lucifer1419:
so you're happy to wait until 2027 before anything good can come out of Nigeria, between atiku and tinubu who do you prefer, something tells me that Nigeria youth will make another wrong choice again, and our suffering will continue.

Nigeria youths are bound to repeat that mistake so long as their enthic and religious differences.
My happiness with Peter Obi is that he’s bold enough to come out and slug it out with the big two. He knows his chances are slim but he’s resolute in giving Nigerians a third option. That’s one reason why I’m rooting for him.

Angelfrost:
I am not Igbo... If Peter Obi can deliver this nation, then he has my vote!

How far have tribalism, ethnicity, religion, etc taken us?!!

How old is Nigeria today?!! Where are we economically and developmentally?!!

You should be ashamed to make such dull statements above!

It’s pointless hoping for a better Nigeria. Ethnicity and religion has forever stopped Nigeria’s progress.
This is something I have long observed since 2015

mujibson:
I was told if I want a better future for my kids, I should vote Peter Obi. The people who voted for him as governor, how are they doing now?

They are faring better. Last I checked, they had the lowest poverty index rate in Nigeria according to the NBS.

adenine02:
Who dey go vote at the end na in matter






I just dey wonder why anyone will want to vote another Fulani man, or the OBI man that will certainly not get vote in the north.



I don't have to mention who is the only manageable alternative?

Why will Obi not get votes in the north if not for the hatred you all have for them. I hope you don’t go about preaching equity and fairness. If that is your measure of equity and fairness, then you’re a long way from understanding

clerkent:
They are afraid of tinubu dyeing on that sit leaving it for Christian to run

Flesh and blood didn’t reveal this to you

realestate99:
Tell us 3 things ( game changer) Obi did in Anambra that he can replicate if voted as the president.....I am waiting

Unde Peter Obi, Anambra was the only state in Nigeria that 75% of the UN MIllenium Development Goals (MDG). Go and check it with the UN. He was awarded for it. By following the MDG, Anambra was able to drastically reduce poverty, check the statistics with NBS. That’s why I’m rooting for him

naija4life247:
He will come a distance 3rd

Let him come a distant third. I don’t care. All I know is that I have decided to waste my vote on him

gbemishile:
It will always make sense in ur ears.
U chose to believe whatever u wish to believe.
State a law in the constitution that forbids a private citizen from using a bullion van,then we can start arguing

I can’t believe what I just read . Did you just type this? Honestly, with people like you, Nigeria is forever in the woods. You are asking what is wrong with Tinubu moving two bullion vans to his burdillion residence on the eve of an election, with thousands of supporters anxiously waiting at his estate gate. You my friend, are a pathetic fellow. I’m sorry to type that

The need for PVC is sweeping across the southern region. It actually begun in the east. This is a fire brigade approach should have done long ago. But like the saying goes: ‘Better late than never’

Arrewa:
Good

Below are registered voters of all southeast states in 2019 general election

1.Abia - 1,793,861

2. Anambra - 2,389,332

3. Ebonyi - 1,392,931

4. Enugu - 1,935,168

5. Imo - 2,037,569

Total registered voters in southeast is 9,548,861.


Kano state has registered voters of 5,391,581.

The who south east is slightly ahead of Kano with just below 5000 registered voters!!

U guys should do more!

I can bet you that majority of those voters in Kano are Teenage voters. We all know Kano is notorious for tennage voting. If Anambra, Oyo Rivers and Even Lagos state start practicing that trash you do up there. Voter database don full be that. But don't worry, we are getting to that point. You see this PVC of a thing, it has become the new national anthem in the east. This is the first time in a long while I have seen the Igbos take election this seriously

NwaIdeato:
Whatever outcome this coming election will bring, I'll be always be proud of how Igbos have broken the political apathy curse and are now coming out enmasses to exercise their franchise, our youths have finally woken up and this will set a good precedence for a major political change in the East.

Exactly! I have always been telling you Igbos. You guys were responsible for making yourself insignificant in the political equation. You are part of the largest enthic groups in West Africa for christ sake. How come during election periods, you'll be seeing states like Ebonyi, Abia and Imo State posting 300k and 400k votes in an election, how do you want to be taken seriously in an election?
When Ebonyi and Abia start posting votes count like 700,000 to 800k votes, other regions will quite calling you a "5PERCENTER". Voter apathy is the reason those up north have the impression that they decide who leads and who doesn't. When you show them that your votes is significant enough to tilt the balance, they'll start negotiating terms with you and not be giving you conditions.
Let us all come out enmasse and get our PVCs, atleast better late than never. But this PVC awakening ought to have started months ago sha!!

airsaylongcome:
Lol! One of the biggest issues Yoruba have is the widespread assumption that all non-Yoruba southerners are Igbo. Since when did Calabar become part of the East?

To be honest, Calabar, geographically speaking is actually in the Southeastern part of Nigeria. Anambra and Imo states are considered east central. Geography wise, there’s no such thing as ‘South-south’ it’s just a geo-political zone

id4sho:
Our online president

At least we are still allowed to waste our votes. Even if the odds are against him, we’ll still vote him

Jmichael1:
i'm nt a supporter of any political party bt truth be told,peter obi can't defeat any candidate or apc or pdp....

We are aware of that! But we sha want to "Waste" our vote on him, since it's obvious he stands no chance

paracolaxnear1:
Baba Tinubu , your direction is what we will follow. The man that singlehandedly reformed policing in Lagos by bringing the RRS which has til today been the most equipped and best police division in the country. That is exactly why we are supporting this man

If your job is to come to nairaland and repeat that lie on every topic, tell your paymaster that you have failed. Your propanganda of repeating a lie will never turn out to be true

Sultty:
At least he sees the writing in the wall, i'm not a fan of bola tinubu but if we all demonize him for obi, I think we are doing him more good than harm and making him popular. The devil u know is far better than the angel u don't know. I'm not from Anambra neither have I lived there before so I can't say much about obi, but I've lived all my life in Lagos until like 3 years back and can say something about tinubu. I don't see any contestant across all parties good enough for Nigeria but if I should choose a fairer defect I'll choose tinubu

Someone who bodly order to two bullion vans to arrive at his residence at Burdillion, is the person you want me to entrust the treasury of the country? I rather waste my vote than vote for Tinubu. Either Obi or Osinbajo will have my votes. I more inclined to even support Obi at least, people can attest to prudent nature, you can trust him with people's wealth.

Mooh247:
If all your favours as a person also never gets reciprocated is that a good thing?!

Like if your children leaves you at old age because of some filmsy reason is that "cool" ?!

Tinubu has every right to ask for a free and fair primaries as he laboured for it under APC

Anyone who thinks Tinubu should be sidelined is evil and we shall fight such evil people


.

Now you see why it's not good to support Injustice, just the way you are happy that the Igbos are sidelined when it comes to politics, Now you are having a taste of your own medicine. That's why it ain't good to support Injustice. It has a way of bouncing back at you.
"He who comes before equity, must come with clean hands" Profound Proverb

shizzle1:
brain dead yoroobandits are so dense, senseless, stupid, myopic and foolish that they don't realize the bolded

Cursed bastards

I know what you are playing at. You are trying to make it look like a enthic war. I can bet you are a yoruba guy, typing that bullshit just to give the impression that Igbos are a bunch of hateful folks. That's stale, try a new trick. Even the yorubas in various platforms do lend their support for to the fact that Peter Obi is credible.

Well there might be a point in what he said. But rest assured, that now that I have registered and soon to collect my PVC, my vote will be for Peter Obi. Even if he doesn't win, at least, I know I voted the right person. There's no harm in voting in the right person even if all the odds are starked against him.
Peter Obi has said it time and again: "He ain't desperate about becoming president, he's desperate to see Nigeria work" That's reason why I desperate to see him emerge president.

SensualMan:
When the ritualistic backward tribe are bored, they look for something to conjure up.

Please be cautious, not all of them are. Try to be civil. We need them to lend us their support

hisgrace090:
This is why it is very hard for Nigeria to move forward.

Very good question. The answer is simple because we have lost our values, we show too much love for mundane things coupled with and enthic and religious differences. That’s why it’s difficult for us to elect good leaders. It’s only leaders that have bullion vans we love to elect. Keep it at, it’s your future, they’ve toyed with.

iCauseTrouble:
How can you have a Peter Obi in Nigeria and be talking about Atiku, Tambuwal, Wike and BAT for presidency? Are you guys under a spell?

Shouldn’t that be obvious to you that Nigeria is definitely a cursed country. We doomed to regress and continually repeat that cycle. My honest advice to you is to save up and leave this country, nothing more to add

Honestly USA is right, Nigeria should be declared a failed state. It's entire security apparatus is useless. My wish is for this shit hole country to be invaded like what Russia did to Ukraine.

blinking001:
Sometimes Nigerians should forget sentiments and be thankful for everything our darling president has done for us

Good and motorable roads........checked

Second Niger bridge......checked

Passage of petroleum industry act.....checked

Revitalization of our Airports.....checked checked

Youths empowerment through public schemes like Npower, Tradermoni etc.......checked

Stable economy..........checked

Revitalization of our rail way transport system......checked checked

Best Electricity supply ever experienced by the common man.......checked checked

No fuel station queues anymore........checked checked

And many more i can't mention here

Buhari is a good man that deserves to be worshipped by all for all the good things he has done. He's the best President this great country has ever produced. The defender of the weak and a father to the fatherless.

God bless president Buhari
God bless Nigeria.

I can sense a bit of sarcasm in this write up

Siwel25:
List the specific things he did that are verifiable and cannot be denied by his successors till date. Anambra indigenes keep running to Lagos more and more during and after his tenure so he has to show us specific things he did for us to believe he tried.

Nobody is running to Lagos. Lagos is the commercial capital of the country not Anambra. People have trouped in to Lagos since the 1980s. London is the commercial capital of the UK. People from all over the UK troupe in to the capital for better opportunities, it's the nature of things

You

Nebulax:
Enlightened one, oya tell us how Anambra was when Obi was the governor

Anambra was the only state in the whole of West Africa that was able to achieve more than 70% of the UN MDG goals in 2015. Obi was given an award and dubbed the ‘MDG champion’ hold on, I’ll post the links here for you shortly

TrackerXL:
My foolish brother same reason EFCC is not after Tinubu Ganduje Ibori etc. It all boils down the Pandora Criminal being a bigger criminal n fraud.

Tinubu has once been docked. it's very evident. As for Ganduje, the babaringa theif, they are waiting for him to leave that protected office and they'll nab him just like they did to Obiano in Anambra as of Ibori, the Efcc along with the UK have treated his Bleep up.
Peter Obi is yet to be invited, docked takless of being nabbed even for the "Pandora paper" you so much talked about, you know why? because they've looked at it thoroghly and found out he was blameless.

TrackerXL:
But the Pandora Criminal with his daughter Pandora account n his Azu river genocide can be president ba ? This is why I said 99.98% igbos on NL are simply mad and bigotry n excessive foolishness as ruined your miserable lives.

Very stale news. That's a very lame propanganda. Why isn't EFCC on the trail of the "Pandora Theif" as alluded. Shebi the Pandora thief has been moving around the country visiting states after state, why hasn't the Efcc done the needful, Obi is in the opposition, it should be an easy target for the Efcc to nab him if they ever suspected him.
You are pathetic. And you need a reason to live

Oh god of mercy! what is really happening. So Wike is ready to burn the entire treasury of rivers state just to pursue a utopian presidency. Like Peter Obi said during the interview in classic fm with former Channels presenter, Suleiman Aleideh. Obi said "Nigeria politicians are no longer greedy but sick." Nothing could ever be more true. This is a sickness, it's a medical condition. Brazen corruption right under the so-called "Sherrif in town"
Honestly Nigeria is lost cause. She's not worth saving. She deserves to be damned, Peter Obi please just leave Nigeria the way it is, it's not worth saving. Just relocate back the UK with your family and watch how the rot in the country consumes everyone.

I repeat "Nigeria is damned and not worth saving" Make everybody bear e papa name

chigator2:
Thank God the Police Boss was informed, even after the Pandora incident, EFCC invited him.

Now in both of these incidents and others, have the government agencies been able make a case against him ?
He stated his reason for doing so and it was for a valid purpose.

He is not a Theif

Please why bother explaining to those dimwit bastards, they aint worth the expalnation, Let them carry on with the stale propanganda. Even the Police and EFCC have long cleared the matter. If he was guilty, why hasn't EFCC nab him just like they nabbed his successor, Obiano. They have nothing against him other than he's from the southeast, pathetic fools

Reality3080:
can I see a direct quote or link from UN?

Hold on, I’ll give you that. Here are some of the links that proves my point:
https://newsexpressngr.com/news/7549-UN-commends-Nigeria-for-MDGs-implementation-Peter-Obi-declared-MDGs-Nigerian-champion
https://newsrangers.com/peter-obi-tasks-african-leaders-on-sdgs-implementation/

In the picture below, Peter Obi was with Patricia Espinosa and Mitchell Tommy, both directors of different units within the UN.
So brother, my support for Peter Obi ain't necessary because he's Igbo. Peter Obi is one who can set an agenda and see through it painstakingly. that's why Nigerians seem to have a liking for him.
