The Bullion van man would soon be chasing them with 100 million Naira each
That guy thinks that every thing is all about bribing your way through. A criminal using the sweat of the poor to pursue this presidential ticket. I pity any soul that will ever cast his votes on him.

Chinkoalhaji34:
Jagaban Jagaban Jagaban 2023. You know the logo. Vote Bola Ahmad Tinubu.

Tinubu will win only Osun, Oyo, Ogun, Ekiti, ondo, Boronu, Katstina but will get upto 30% in Kano, jigawa and KADUNA where he will massively shared votes with kwankwoso and Atiku, with Atiku leading the pack. There is no go area for him in the SS and SE and NC but a great move in kwara and Niger. While obi may be able to scrap 25% of enlightened, liberal Yoruba Muslim and majority yoruba Christians, Tinubu will woefully failed in the SE like Buhari that hardly get 5 % in ANAMBRA etc. Thesame goes to SS.

Summary for Asiwaju: will win in 5 states in the SW, 30% in Kano, KADUNA, Jigawa, kwara and Niger. This can't get him any where. Atiku and Kwankwoso influence will break him off and cut his votes in pieces.
Atiku and obi will struggle it out for Abuja while Lagos is sure for Obi taking an edge over Tinubu and Atiku.
The whole SE, SS and Lagos for Obi. Majority Christians states in NC like Benue, Plateau, Taraba, southern KADUNA locked down for him while Atiku may follow behind. While Adamawa, Gombe SOKOTO, kebbi, will be no go area for obi and Adan the BATsin.

Even if obi looses the 25% votes in the NW, he will still win like Jonathan that lost all and still won. Obi needs just 20% votes in NW.

This guy's is shamelessly talking about Party while the almost over 65% of voters who are youths are talking about personality. For the first time in the history of Nigeria, voters are strongly concern about individual than a party. The issue of party is even worst on APC considering their huge poor economic impact in the country. It's becoming even very shameful for an average young person to campaign for APC fur to the situation in the country be and due to the ailing health of Asiwaju.

Lastly, only about 30% of Nigerians always come out to vote but because of majorly OBidient movement, young people will be turning up in mass. I don't see Northerners coming out because of their disappointment by this present government and Buhari their biggest trust.

Remember SS includes Akwaibom, cross Rivers , Rivers and Balyelsa too. Your Edo people seems to be more vocals for OBidient movement, then North Central states of Taraba, plateau etc which majority are voting for Obi because of their hatred for caliphate dominance/Muslim Muslim ticket.

Just have one thing in mind, 2023 election is for millions of people especially youths that have not been voting as well as the population that wants the government out. You may be living in great deceit of you are not aware that this time around, it's personality versus party.
A large cross section of Nigeria just wanted a party outside PDP and APC.

Just be OBidient or remain among the ones that are tribal oriented

One thing outsiders from SE/SS do not know about this two zone is that they have very independent mind when voting unlike NW/SW that is remote control by individuals. SE independent mind set is in 95 percentile to SS to 85. That means no matter the political figure in an area in this places, they can't control the peoples decision of who to vote. Nwike can never influence the choice of people voting for Obi in Rivers state . NW SW individual independence is very low and are almost apar. The shocking thing about the tow is that yourubas are slightly enlightened than their Hausa counter but still have thesame behavior. God fatherism is almost non existence in the east and SS.

blamingthedevil:
Rivers is locked down
Kano is locked
Lagos Locked down
Borno Locked down
SW Locked down
NE Locked down
NW Locked down
NC Locked down
SS Locked down

All for Incoming President Bola Ahmed Tinubu
God Bless Wike
God Bless Sanwo-Olu
God Bless Rivers State
God Bless Federal Republic of Nigeria

Wike invites Sanwolu and because of that, Rivers state is locked down for Mr Adan the BATsin. In October, Soludo may invite sonwolu and ANAMBRA will be locked down for Asiwaju. You better keep away from Jaimican weed or else.....

Alex, congratulations and ever stick to your wife alone, seeing that you are always in the midst of numerous unknown women.

Blackdeewhy:
I remembered few years ago, when this man mocked pastor Chris and fee other pastors that divorced.
Well, I wish the area father all the very best

You are talking about pastors divorce here while joining issues with Area father. This is almost 45 years old marriage by an unbeliever. How old were other pastors marriages lasted? All thesame, Divorce is bad.

yinkus6750:
She really tried.
Not easy for any woman to stay with a weird person
She deserves an award

, The wife is more weird than him and she is into it because of his weirdness. As an African American woman, she may not see it as been weird.

seunmsg:
They will tell you it doesn’t matter. They will tell you it’s because there is a seaport in Lagos. They will tell you it’s because there is an airport in Lagos. They will tell you it’s because Lagos was once federal capital and FG is paying for everything.

They hate all good news coming from the SW. They live in the SW to escape the poverty and underdevelopment of their region and still pray for the downfall of SW. They are Ipobs, they are obituarists, they are haters!

Congratulations to Sanwo-Olu and his team. He should keep up the good work. Lagos must keep working. Eko Onibaje.

is Lagos the only state in SW, can't this be in other bush places like Ekiti, oshogbo, Ibadan etc. Lagos is grat because of the non indigenous people esp the igbos. The former capital of Nigeriaoo. The good of Lagos benefits SE more than the yorubas. Eko oni baje

By TonyeBarcanista

Since the commencement of the 2023 electioneering season, the term 'Obidient' is a slogan that has dominated the media airwaves, especially on social media. Subscribers to the Obidient slogans are Nigerians that are advocates of Chief Peter Gregory Obi, the Presidential candidate of Labour Party. Majority of his supporters are driven by rare display of patriotism coupled with the popular yearning for political change in Nigeria, a handful of his advocates have taken to the extreme of portraying him as an infallible mortal that is at par or a little lower than a sacred deity. To this set of people, it is abominable to criticise, question or express displeasure in Obi's credentials or candidacy.

Obi, a former governor of Anambra State who until May 23, 2022 was a chieftain of Peoples Democratic Party and Presidential hopeful on the Party's platform, is portrayed by his promoters as the long-awaited messiah to deliver the country from the calamity brought upon the country by the Muhammadu Buhari led administration. He is marketed as one with a "frugal" personality in terms of spending (perhaps a miser) who will not allow waste of public resources as President, and will ensure that Nigeria has enough in its reserves like Anambra had under Obi's administration as governor of the state like he (Obi) claimed - though this claim is disputed by his successor, Chief Willie Obiano - but that is a discussion fot another day. Aside his supposed frugality, Obi is portrayed as an incorruptible public officer that has never engaged in financial misconduct while in office. We'll see how true this claim is!

While I agree with the Obi promoters that Nigeria needs a new political leadership that will rescue the country from its current woes and entrench a working system for sustained improvement of the lives of Nigeria citizens, I disagree with them on the choice of Obi as the ideal pilot to lead Nigeria to greatness. Here is an individual that relies in his personal abilities for leadership. Obi has not made mention of any team that he assembled to work with whether while as governor of Anambra state. Even as the candidate of Labour Party, he has no known campaign team (structure) aside Chief Doyin Okupe. Whenever he speaks, he is always about self. The implication here is that as President he will the typical 'Mister Know-it-all' leader, which will be counterproductive to the expectations of Nigerians. But that is not my biggest concern about Obi.

While most citizens are demanding for devolution of power to the grassroot through restructuring of the Nigeria political system, Obi does not come across as a President that believe in power devolution. His record as Anambra State governor shows a man that does not believe in the third tier of government; which is supposed to be the closest to the grassroot. While the Constitution of Nigeria empowers State Governments through their State Independent Electoral Commission (SIEC) to conduct council elections for this tier of government, Obi who became Anambra State governor in March 2006, wilfully elected to run the local government through appointees under the nomenclature of Caretaker Committee in flangrance disobedience to the Constitution. Obi's refusal to conduct council elections drew the anger of stakeholders within and outside Anambra state, including the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) that he was not just a member but the Vice Chairman. The NGF in its report on Peer Review Mechanism that was released on March 18, 2013 (Obi 7th year in office) decried the action of Obi as undemocratic. Mr. Afeikhema Jerome, who was the National Coordinator of the State Peer Review Mechanism NGF, went further to appeal to Anambra Government under Obi “to urgently set the machinery in motion and conduct credible local government elections”.
(please find Premium Times report on the story here: https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/127070-ngf-scolds-anambra-ekiti-16-others-over-non-conduct-of-council-polls.html).

inspite the scolding by NGF, Obi still refused to conduct Council election. He waited until 2 months to the expiration of his tenure (ten months after release of NGF report) to eventually conduct it. Specifically, the election was conducted on 11 January, 2014. In other words, Anambra State had no functional governments at the local government level for 7 years and 10 months out of the 8 years of Obi's reign. Many believed that the council election was hurriedly conducted by Obi so as to get necessary structures on ground to mobilize for votes for Chief Willie Obiano, his anointed candidate for the 2014 gubernatorial election of the State.
(See PT publication on NGF report: https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/127070-ngf-scolds-anambra-ekiti-16-others-over-non-conduct-of-council-polls.html). If Obi as Governor stifled the local government system in his state, what magic will he bequeath Nigeria as a whole with respect to power devolution?

Nigeria is plagued with insecurity, terrorism, banditory and insurgency that citizens cannot live their lives freely due to fear of the men of the underworld. The country is in dire need of a leader that will change the tide; but is Obi competent enough to handle such burden? Let's see how he handled similar issue in Anambra State.

As Governor, Obi faced the Biafra agitators under the banner of Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, and led by Mr. Ralph Uwazuruike. Obi's solution to address the MASSOB agitation was a declaration of an undemocratic "Shoot-at-sight" order on MASSOB members. The order, which which drew condemnation by many, was issued in June 2006 (3 months into his government), and also extended to members of NARD and "other hoodlums" in the State. As a consequence of the order, security forces combed Onitsha, Nnewi, Oba, Ihiala and environs and were alleged to have shot, killed, and maimed anyone suspected to be member of MASSOB. On 20th January 2013, residents woke up to discover over 40 floating corpses in Ezu River located in Amansea, Awka, Anambra State. Following the discovery, MASSOB through its spokesman, Mr Uchenna Madu (now factional leader of MASSOB), released a statement on 10 February 2013, identified the corpses as that of its members that were arrested by DSS and handed over to Police on November 9, 2012 but disappeared afterwards. He identified some of the bodies as; Basil Ogbu, Michael Ogwa, Sunday Omogo, Philip Nwankpa, Eze Ndubisi, Ebuka Eze, Obinna Ofor, Joseph Udoh and Uchechukwu Ejiofor. Excerpt of the statement reads;

“MASSOB with deep sense of grief and sorrow wishes to inform Mr. Ban Ki Moon (UN Secretary General), President Goodluck Jonathan, US president, Barrack Obama, United Nations Human Rights Commission (UNHRC) and Amnesty International about the gruesome murder of MASSOB members by the Special Anti Robbery Squared SARS, of Nigeria Police Force, Awkuzu Anambra State. Some of our disguised members and family relations of the detained members were denied access to them. Efforts by our counsel to secure their bail from the police were futile. Our demands for their arraignment before a competent court of law were frustrated by SARS officers. We got information from an insider at SARS headquarters, Awkuzu that armless MASSOB members detained at SARS were secretly killed alongside other robbery suspects. Our lawyers, who confidently waited for their arraignment in January 2013 did not believe that such barbaric, primitive and wicked act could happen because, according to them, a comprehensive police reform on Human Rights was being carried out by the new Inspector General of Police.”
(Ref YNaija: https://ynaija.com/bodies-floating-in-river-are-our-members-secretly-killed-by-security-agents-massob-graphic-image/)

Mr. Uchenna Madu again in November 2013 indicted Governor Peter Obi as being responsible for the killing of MASSOB members through his "Shoot-on-sight" order and even vowed to arrest him afer his gubernatorial tenure. In his own words: “We hold Peter Obi responsible for the killings. This reminds us about the 2006 shoot-on-sight order by Governor Peter Obi who massacred about 2,000 MASSOB members. We shall arrest him and pay him back in his own coin in our own way immediately he steps down as the governor because his recent action of killing MASSOB members will heavily affect APGA chances of winning this election.” Madu spoke on November 14, 2013 while reacting to killing of MASSOB members by security forces the previous day.
(ref: https://www.cknnigeria.com/2013/11/we-ll-arrest-peter-obi-after-leaving.html?m=1)

On April 12, 2014, Mazi Chris Mocha, the Deputy Publicity Secretary of MASSOB released a statement on behalf of Uwazuruike fingering Obi alongside Chief Achike Udenwa (former Imo state governor 1999-2007) and Chief Olusegun Obasanjo of ordering killings of MASSOB members extrajudicially. An excerpt of the statement reads; “Mr. Peter Obi and former Imo State governor, Dr. Achike Udenwa, had ordered the killing of MASSOB members between 2003 and 2006 and would be tried in court in due course. Obi had on May 11, 2006 under the Presidency of Olusegun Obasanjo deployed over 200 federal troops most of who were of Hausa and Fulani tribes to Onitsha and issued a shoot-at-sight order to them. Thousands of our members were killed, including a pregnant woman and 65 others still missing,”

Clearly, Obi could not manage the insurgency in Anambra State as governor, how much more that of Nigeria that is more complex with religious and ethnic coloration?

Another concern on Obi is his alleged abuse of office in the management of public funds and dishonesty in the forms with respect to failure to declare some assets that he had interest in before the Code of Conduct Bureau. Dishonesty is one character that is not expected of a President that is determined to effect change positively.

Peter Obi is among the public figures that were indicted by Pandora Papers of financial misconduct. Specifically, he was said to have of used the name of his daughter, Gabriella to set up discreet Company named Gabriela Investments Limited in 2010 (during his 4th year in office as Anambra Governor) in British Virgin Island through a local registered agent, Aleman Cordero Galindo & Lee Trust (BVI) Limited (Alcogal). Acces International, a notorious firm located in Monaco facilitated the deal. Peter Obi was also fingered to own other offshore companies that he hid in secrecy. He equally had interest in NEXT International (UK) 14 months into his term as governor: which is contrary to the law. Worse is, he didn't declare these assets before the Code of Conduct Bureau; a statutory requirement for public officers. As reported by Premium Times, Obi equally admitted to operate offshore businesses and maintained foreign accounts while as Governor - in disobedience to the Constitutional provisions.

Penultimate to 2015 election, many refused to x-ray the suitability of Muhammadu Buhari because we were carried away by the "Change" slogan of APC, we cannot afford to repeat same blunder with the "Obidient' slogan in 2023. Sloganeering do not translate to good governance and better welfare for Nigeria citizens.

I just love this people

While some of my brothers keeps exibiting hate and pushing hard drugs around the world.
And while some people keeps terrorising everywhere...

I would have been happy to see you just to celebrate than to put other zone down. Truly a lot of people from certain zone are languishing in jail in Asia as a result of pushing drugs but you failed to acknowledge that the 95 of thousands of blacks in the UK prison alone are from certain zone of Nigeria with crimes ranges from: murder, terrorism, advance fee fraud, marriage fraud etc. The zone presently has the largest number of the most dangerous black terrorist in the UK. Almost all the teen crimes committed by blacks are from that particular zone.
Though they are not so much into drug like the zone you mentioned, their women: grandmoy also are more into drugs than their men.
Back home in NIGERIA, there is a particular tribe known for ritual killing. They probably has the largest money ritual in the world and every Nigerians and even other Africans identify them with such. 95 % of reported ritual takes place in their region. Just last week an innocent young Igbo NYSC lady was gruesomely murdered in their region and parts of jet body was missing. In that region also, young teenagers are known to cut off the heads of their girl friends for money ritual. Though 419 is rampart among the south, their children are so sophisticated that they developed what they called Yahoo plus where they needed human sacrifice to complete their ritusl. The word Skullership may be coming out in modern oxford dictionary just because of a particular region with great browny archaic skyline cities. I write this not to shame any region but to point out that any region may not be better off as you think

Sanwolu is number one Governor working for Peter Obi
El Rufai, Yhaya Bello, Hole Uzodimma and Zulum are the other governors working for Peter Obi
If u don't get the sarcasm, then u are mentally retardedd

it could be true since they invariably would want Atiku their brother and a true Muslim to win. Forget about been sarcastic. Think about it, for the first time since our eternal democracy, Hausa Fulani will not be president or Vp. They won't allow that vacuum. They allow Adan the Bat to win APC presidential candidate so that the Southerners we see the party as interested in North South rotational presidency. Their calculation is that Atiku will still win the power coming to the North and APC in the next election will vigorously campaign for Northern presidency with an excuse that Adan Bat couldn't win for APC. But OBidient came into the pic

mach7:
What kind of democracy are these "Obidients" hoping to bring onboard if successful? A democracy where any dissenting opinion must be ridiculed and silenced? One really has to start getting worried as this is getting out of hand.

A man wrote an article stating certain points from his own perspective, you might choose to agree with or not. But to go to the extent of calling him an insult to his generation or that his children should be ashamed of him has crossed all known extremes.

Many of you doing this online mob action and cyber bullying, thinking that you are anonymous, I really pity you all.

But the person I pity the most is the candidate you are all glorifying and on whose behalf you are attacking others. He is simply a politician and right now, he says things that tickles your ears, he seems to be the candidate with a difference as you claim. Yet he has spent all his political years doing the same things every politician has always done - which is to fight for his interest.

May God have mercy on you all, because when he does eventually lose the presidential election and moves back to his real political family, I hope you will have the courage and strength to move on from despair and repair whatever bridges you might have burnt in defense of him.

You are brain dead for not first rebuking conscienceless old gay for his remark. You should first blame this wounded fowl before calling up the OBidient. This old fowl should have respected his ailing emotions before throwing up on innocent OBidient youths .

It’s not the number of registered voters that will count but the number of people that could actually be bothered and also consider it safe enough for them to go out and exercise their franchise….particularly in an environment where a sit-at-home policy is being implemented and enforced!

ooop! You have change again. It's no more that Bronou state votes is higher than all SE votes as you Nairaland urchins use to vomit. Even ANAMBRA one is higher than them. If you even minus Lagos state votes from the SW registered voters making it 5 states like SE 5 states, you will realize that SE may be higher. Lagos almost 6 million votes, we know where they are coming from. Lagos is all for all tribes. Yorubas slightly higher in that population followed strongly by the igbos before the whole Arewa, then the great SS.

Even though NW may be highest with about 21 votes, they are coming from a whopping 7 states against 5 states of the SE and 6 states of the rest zones.

By the way, you are quick to say Monday sit at home as if the election is on Monday, but forgot your Boko Haram NE as well as other places in Nigeria

Rochas2023:
Lagos on top

Omo I still the wonder how ebony take pass other SE state, ebony wy Abia pass in population

Not so but just on the newly registered voters. ANAMBRA is above 2 million with almost more than 800 thousand higher than Ebonyi state.

How is this an issue?

WHAT IS THE MINIMUM WAGE THERE ?

Some that earns 10,000 dollars in a month there, which is approximately 7m is the same class as someone who earn 300k here.


Nigerian is blessed with cursed leaders.

10k a month? Some of you think making money here in the US is like plucking apple from the tree. Minimum wage varies from state to state but even the national average minimum wage is not upto 5k in a month. People earning 3k to 6k can live a decent life though not in states like California. Somebody earning 6k in some states like Mississippi is equivalent to some earning 10k in California

Aderewah:
Even the best Nigerian in a super eagles shirt is Yoruba Rasheed Yekini. And Yoruba women completely dominate women football. Yorubas dominate tennis, track, boxing, judo, chess, and many others. Too talented people.

You are now happy Mr Domination and chest beater. The last time we check the best states in national sports festivals, you rarely see any SW states in the first three. It's has always been Edo and Delta. Respect this two states and swallow your pee.

When you say richest is it IGR or GDP?
A state that is merely 33years , you are comparing to rivers that is 60years and Lagos that is 100years .

You are actually right in a way but I want Akwaibom to ride up beyond what they are. I'm from the east but Akwaibom and their people are the greatest people I love in the SS. I nearly married an Akwaibom lady who is medical doctor in the US. All thesame, they are doing well.

Correct, --


The CAN president does want to get himself involved in politics. ..

Nigerian should be the one to decide who is capable or not..

lol, I hope you are not just empty upstairs. The message is passed. Don't vote for party means do not vote for APC and PDP but for Obi as a person. Labour party is an unknown party but Obi is a movement.

Not actually so, IVF does not happen so easy with women that are under 40. The chances are always slim. For a woman at 60 to be successful, it is a medical miracle. 95% of people going for IVF may not be successful and success rate dwindles as the age increases. This is a medical miracle for the 60 yrs old

That's my observation too. Many of the yoruba social media comment are increasingly for Obi. It is only in Nairaland that you have few charlatans shouting adan.

I think it's because of the porr standard of houses there in which many are not even painted.

Entprys:
It was an agreement after the civil war that an Igbo man will not head this country again. Now after Obi's visit to his Arab juju man in Egypt, our youths has been hypnotized.
Who say juju no dey ?
But I am appealling to people of my region(NC) especially, to have a rethink because an Obi as a president will make us the shock absorver of this coountry. he already said he will make North the next oil of the nation. Incase you don't know the meaning; he will milk us dry. N Central, we are their milking target. Let 's wake up and vote wisely. Let us rebuke Egyptian juju. No be for our head - Kwara, Niger, Kogi, Benue, Nasarawa and plateau we say no to deciet

This could be the single reason for me to vote him . And if it happened that this statement you are making about Obi here is false, may the CURSE of the Lord not depart from your home and generation. May you live to see poverty and shame upon your seeds. Obi's coming is for rise and fall of many and you have borrowed your mouth to be a victim of those that will fall. But if otherwise, may the curse be upon obi and his decendants. This curse upon you start in 7 days if you don't retract it. You cannot touch an innocent person with your lies this time around and still go free.

The rate Tinubu is becoming unpopular especially among the yorubas is what I feared most. I listened to a YouTube where majority yorubas are against Tinubu and for Obi.
