Predictor3:
Everything about them is shamelessly fake

Lol. I am wondering why they have not even tried to re-write the bible to replace the name Jesus Christ with Peter Obi to present him as the Son of God. These people have serious issues in my opinion.

Tenses:
That shouldn't bother you.

Smearing Peter Obi, isn't that what you do for a living?

Lol, cannonizing the Agulu fraud as a Messiah is not what you and your compatriots do for a living?

Look at this thread for example. Completely fake and doctored news plus shameless lies with no regard for the Cape Verge goalkeeper showing Obidients will cynically use and damage anything and anyone in their quest for Igbo Presidency.

You Obi fans are not even ashamed to comment defensively on a thread like this when you should hide your faces if you are even minimally principled and upright .

We are talking blatant fabrication here using others, i.e Cape Verde Goalkeeper and the world cup stage, cynically.

Kanwuliajeje:
Go and argue with the internet! Awon JOLOSY!😂


https://www.news.copdem.org/peter-obi-is-africas-beacon-of-hope-viral-interview-with-cape-verde-goalkeeper-sparks-debate/

This is the thing with you Obidients..Your extremism, desperation and disinterest in being reasonable. I have proven your thread and assertion is complete fake news.

Yet you double down on defending shameful fabrication and pro-Obi propaganda.

Which internet should we argue with? The real and factual one shown below or the fake news version you guys have created?

You have no shame.

T9ksy:
These guys don't want regional system og govt. , hence why barely 4months into illegal govt,he foisted Onr fake Nigeria on us.
Ojukwu was over the moon at his kinsman's asinine decree. He believed in One united Nigeria.

Ojukwu even bragged on air about how he had transported all secondary school leavers in the SE, to the north to compete with the less educated folks there,for federal civil service posts,in the region

Whether they want regional Government or not, their lack of preparation for it, because they are the most economically dispersed Nigerian, will leave them in trouble when regional autonomy, inevitable and unstoppable, happens.

Toksy, I am an exposed person. I have been to at least 30 nations of the world in different continents.

Nigeria always strikes me as the nation with people who are so toxicailly different but keep faking unity.

Nigerians need to accept their irreconcilable differences to go and build lives in their respective region according to how they wish to live that others cannot key into.

In the end, evolution will resolve all this wahala. Peaceful folks want regional autonomy but nothing is ever simple with Nigerians and I suspect violent break up, especially with what the North is doing, is inevitable. I hope hope I am wrong.

wallrichy:
I am actually ashamed for Nigerians spreading this rumours. How would the world see us? Why now, why! This is even a scam on that Cape Verde goalkeeper. They are ridiculing Peter Obi seriously, they are making him to look so cheap and desperate. It's better for him to address his bingos quickly. In as much as I don't pray for Tribulation BAT to come back. I wouldn't want to see PO and Articulated Iron condemned to be in Aso Rock also......let's stop showing our stupidity to the world Obi bingos.....abeg.....

Indeed. These people do not care fir Nigeria at all. How can you be obsessed with ridiculing your own nation everywhere and every time, just because you are desperate for a particular outcome, yet keep insisting you are best to lead that same nation?

IGBOPROMISE1:
Voting for Tinubu is a crime alright…especially in light of us having three+ years to assess the fella and see how useless, materialistic, nepotistic and Yorubacentric he actually is! However, for some, owing to parapo reasons, voting Tinubu yet again come 2027 would be the sweetest taboo (apologies to Sade)! They no send anybody!

Ogbeni, we are in a democracy. You guys can use whatever desperate antics, to promote your fake messiah, you want in search of Tinubu's ousting.

Demonize PBAT all you want. Wont work and you are not getting Igbo Presidenxy via Obi.

Take that to the bank. Go and focus on developing your region because regional autonomy is the inevitable future of Nigeria.

@Mynd44.

Why can't you ban this OP and his ilk for good? Propaganda, outright fake news, misinformation and shameless lies daily because they are desperate for Igbo Presidency or Tinubu's ousting.

This is a form of extremism and you are all supporting it tacitly by not severely sanctioning these characters or riding this forum of them.

Bloody liars and shameless propagandists. Don't you people have even an iota of shame? Where is the image of Peter Obi in the image below?

CharlesCNG:
I agree with you completely.

VDM's pattern is not difficult to read. It is activism as spectacle: loud outrage, public drama, moral posturing and constant self-positioning at the centre of every issue.

What he practices is what political scientists and social commentators increasingly describe as performative activism — activism that derives its energy less from outcomes and more from visibility, applause and monetised outrage.

Real activism focuses on victims, solutions and pressure applied with discipline and strategic thinking.

Performative activism focuses on cameras, followers, emotional manipulation and the cultivation of a personal brand.

And yes, i agree with you again: many Nigerians are easily moved by noise because anger often masquerades as courage to the undiscerning.

That is why some mistake virality for virtue and emotional theatre for leadership.

The danger is that serious national tragedies become raw material for personal branding and political score-settling.

Which brings me to another disturbing aspect of this whole episode. There are people using the plight of these children as a form of political payback for Chibok and other tragedies of years gone by.

That is blood politics.

Children should not become instruments for settling partisan scores.

Their suffering should not be exploited to avenge yesterday's arguments.

That is why we must keep repeating the obvious:

The children need rescue, not reels.

They need safety, not spectacle.

They need compassion, not content.

And they certainly do not deserve to become props in a political revenge drama.

Another brilliant post. Really enjoying reading your posts as they are brilliantly and incisively analytical which is uncommon here.

The kidnapping was politically motivated in my opinion. I personally suspect it is the handiwork of those who Presidential power is oxygen to because it feeds their unprogressive and indolent life choices.

The tragedy, as you identified, is that focus must be on rescuing the children yet that is not the case.

Every individual, working an angle, has hijacked this tragedy for personal profit. Be it political, financial or even social media followership.

Nigeria is really in trouble because the sincerity required, from leaders, for solutions to arrive is lacking.

Additionally, the critical-thinking capacity ordinary Nigerians should ideally possess, so they can make the right demands to leaders uncompromisingly and unitedly, is virtually non-existent.

We are today self-defeatist and self-destructive. Heading for disaster IMO. I just hope it won't be Rwanda-style genocide meltdown because something will give certainly.

When I insist the core North must be taken to task, before they take Nigeria down, because their followers and leaders (religious, military, political,cultural, business etc) are in bed with bandits and terrorists, some here will say I am paid defender of Tinubu.

How can adults not have the thinking faculty to see what is obvious and what must be done to ensure others who love being mad don't infect us with their madness?

Amotolongbo:
The worst of Tinubu is better than the best of Obi.

None of them is my candidate anyway

Obi is completely empty as a leader. He is a product of how the wrong people end up in leadership in Nigeria because the system for leadership emergence is not organic and therefore incapable of facilitating the emergence of our best solutions providers as Nigerian leaders.

For example, Adeleke, bar famous family name, is best to Govern Osun how? What, in his history and CV, distinctly shows his capacity to manage the fortunes of a State and millions of people?

It was Ojukwu's Godfatherism intervention that literally installed Obi Governor of Anambra.

GEJ too became President not by intention or capacity. Rather, through Godfatherrism.

OBJ, wanting to control his successor by proxy, handpicked Jonathan because he wanted an unambitious and simple VP for Yar Adua who would not trouble the President as Atiku did to him.

This is why I support Tinubu. I.e one of the few leaders to emerge meritoriously and deservedly because of genuine leadership talent and capacity.

We can see how Tinubu has built so much and so many, confirming he is bonafied leader, while Obi has built nothing and no one.

CharlesCNG:
Hmm... hopefully.

But unfortunately, the whole thing is beginning to look like a political gig, and that is deeply troubling.

This is precisely what some of us fear VDM is turning it into — content creation, grandstanding and performative activism.

There is a difference between demanding accountability and making yourself the centre of the story.

The kidnapped children should be the focus, not the influencer.

Families need results, not reels.

They need rescue, not rhetoric.

Activism is not a movie set, and national tragedies are not opportunities for personal branding.

Makinde too should resist the temptation of dramatic sound bites and concentrate on delivering results.

This is not the time for political theatre.

Children are in captivity.

The cameras can wait.

Absolutely. You have said it all. There are simple and consistent rules to life.

I won't go into details but even a cursory look into VDM's life, activities and controversies confirms what is obvious that folks who think critically can discern immediately.

Simply brilliant you mention performative activism. That is what VDM is about. Essentially glorified virtue signalling for financial and attention-seeking profit.

As sad as it is to admit, a lot of Nigerians, for want of a better word, are very 'simple' and easy to con. Many know this and cynically take advantage of that reality.

expert234:
I asked first. Answer, then I'll answer.

All those deceptive tactics won't work here

Yes of course I can swear Tinubu was not involved in the plot to kidnap the Chibok girls.

Amotolongbo:
There is nothing one can not say if one is desperate to get something.

Two of the requests tendered by the bandits is having saharia in all the states in Nigeria and Islam should be the religion of everyone. How are you going to negotiate that?
Does Obi want to give the bandits part of the southern land in exchange for peace.
This guy obviously think with one of the body parts below his neck region.

Lol. The bolded is accurate.

expert234:
Can you swear with your destiny and those of your entire family that Tinubu wasn't in the know of how the Chibok girls kidnaping occured?!

Can you swear with your life he was in the know about it?

mrvitalis:
Really no banikoro ? Not jimi abaje ? Lmao bro stop lying Abeg

Whatever. You've never being an honest nor upright Nairalander anyway.

mrvitalis:
We don’t have a single problem
There is nothing Yorubas can do to igbos that they haven’t done before absolutely nothing

What have Yorubas ever done to you other than good? Aren't you the one's, because of primordial envy, always demonizing us falsely everywhere and every time? This thread, for example, is for what purpose exactly?

Christistruth03:
It is such a big shame and they were doing so well in Lagos
All they needed was humility, contentment with a Pinch of Wisdom.

Now they will force us to teach them how to behave in Civilised Society

I feel sorry for the decent ones among them

Unfortunately, 2023 election was a turning point. Their antics over GRV was insane and opened the eyes of many leading to sharp rise in Yoruba conservatism where there was mass liberalism previously.

I distinctly remember Obasa fuming after the election was over and vowing Lagos will begin making laws to protect the interest of indigenes. A clear statement of how some had overstepped their boundaries and has gone too far.

DomPerignon:
They are so tone deaf and can't read the room.

They belief so much in their own hubris.

Indeed and that has always been their undoing from time immemorial in Nigeria.

yemmight:
The guy dey make his money and some people are following him on the streets without getting anything.

Don't mind them. Social media visibility, whether it is for being an 'influencer' or so-called good Governance advocate, is one of the quickest ways for jobless and cynically exploitative people to get rich at the expensive of the gullible and naive.

Did we not see how David Hundeyin was exposed as a glorified "omo Elebi" cashing out from Atiku etal after all his good governance activism and noise? Shebi DJ Switch , of #EndSAR fame sef don collect USA asylum Japa claiming Nigerian government was after her life. We hear from am again? Rinu Oduala nko? Na today.

The worst place to be naive in is Nigeria because scammers dey ground well well lol 😂

DomPerignon:
Your Kanu was calling on Hausa people to evict the Fulani claiming they are not indigenous to northern Nigeria and yiu all cheered him on.

So why should there be a different rule to dealing with a similar attempt to declare another man's land as open for grabs by labelling it no man's land and going further to drag ownership of it?

Your hypocrisy stinks

Indeed.

chopnaira:
Everyday Lagos, every day Yoruba. Heck, the Yorubas don't even share a border with your people.

If you all put 1/5th of this effort into developing your own SE region, maybe it would not be the most unproductive region in Nigeria that your own people are fleeing from.

Thank you !! The matter is so disheartening. Na wetin Yorubas do them?

expert234:
Then you are saying Tinubu is not innocent regarding the Chibok girls kidnaping, right?!

What does Tinubu have to do with it? Being a member of the APC makes him complicit in the Chibok girls kidnapping?

Was Tinubu also the one who told El Rufai to pay Fulanis to stop killing in Kaduna?

Was it Tinubu, rather than Kawu Baraje, who confessed they imported Fulanis to win 2015 election. Stop trying to implicate Tinubu in what he is not associated with.

We all remember the 2015 elections..Yorubas like Fashola, Amosun, Osinbajo and even Tinubu were busy being the eloquent interface with the world trying to make Buhari APC President.

They were meeting David Cameron, Tony Blair, John Kerry etc. Whatever others did in the APC is on them not on Tinubu because him and the Yorubas played politics as it should be done i.e raising funds, meeting global leaders to explain the plans of the APC, leading public campaigns etc, etc.

lawani:
There is no point in saying you have weight in a place you can't win one percent of the electoral posts available. Before you can say you have weight, you must be winning a substantial portion of positions available already or don't you think so?. Yorubas will not take Igbos seriously unless they can win five percent of Lagos posts or why should they? Responding to posts online isn't the same as taking people seriously.

Then anybody can make any claim. I can say the Yorubas are more successful than Igbos in Enugu, Abs, Onitsha or PH. Once you are not required to prove what you say you can say anything. Your mouth is your bond servant.

Igbos don't have any dollar billionaire in Lagos
They also don't have anybody worth up to 900 million dollars. If you go to 800 million dollars it is also the same thing but you will say it is the territory where there is no census that Igbos dominate? Nobody is obliged to believe you but you are free to talk. I don't believe Igbos who are worth even 500k are up to the half of the Yoruba who are worth 500k because the population of the Yoruba is much more than double the Igbo population and everybody is working

This is why I accused him of being 'high' when he created the post. The problem with them is delusions of grandeur and gross overestimation of their own worth and capacity.

We have done this issue to death many times to establish factually that the wealth of Lagos is largely and firmly in the hands of Yorubas.

Yet they will keep creating silly threads like this. Their behaviour defies explanation.

@OP

Lol. Had to check the time stamp to confirm when you created the post. 11.40am, meaning you practically began the day 'high'? Na wa.

expert234:
Then you are saying the Chibok girls kidnaping was designed to spoil Jonathan's government by the opposition

Yes I believe it was done to damage the credibility of the GEJ Government home and abroad.

Lol
Peter Obi, always fleeing confrontation with any and everybody, wants to die for Nigeria? Joke of the year 😂😅🤣

chidi2003:
And Chibok mass adoptions under Goodluck was done - to promote his government rating; right? The same APC that capitalized on security challenges in three North Eastern states to grab power; has finally distributed insecurity to the whole Federation - as dividends of Democracy! The worst governments we have witnessed in the history of Nigeria are the: governments of Buhari and Tinubu! Kiss the truth.

Tinubu's Government is the best since 1999. As Reno Omokri stated "Nigerians are only concerned with Rice and Eba". Yorubas tag it "elebi". If it does not concern food, most Nigerians are not interested.

The critically required policy initiatives and reforms that would have made Nigeria a developed nation today, had it begun say in the eighties rather than that Presidents after Presidents avoiding them, are what Tinubu is bravely implementing today.

Fuel subsidy was a scam bankrupting Nigerian while massively enriching a few. Subsidizing of the Naira , to shore up it's value artificially was scamming also.

That is because it was designed to create huge disparity between black market and official rate of Naira to benefit the bureau de change profiteering the North was addicted to yet will keep Nigeria never better than Afghanistan if it endured. .

Check the images below to note you need to improve your knowledge.

Nigeria's CBN became world central bank of the year for the first time ever under Tinubu because of multiple measure to deliver fiscal discipline that will move us away from rogue nation status, previous Presidents has created, towards a Country the world will be confident investing in because she is approaching best global practices/standard.

I believe it is the poor grasp of the deeply structural nature of Nigeria's problem, by most Nigerians, that prevents the adults in our nation appreciating solutions required to then note Tinubu is apply those exact solutions.

expert234:
Are you also saying Chibok girls kidnaping was designed by APC to damage the political standing of Jonathan?!

Of course. I don't have time for lies or political correctness. I say it as it is.

AMINDA:
"They played politics against Jonathan and got him out. Get over it !!!" Just imagine. Including the insecurity right? Why is he then complaining and pathetically seeking for sympathy when he has used similar means to assume power?

Since Tinubu is so tough on the oil cabal, why isn't he tough in the terrorists? He's only concerned about revenue right?

Stop being annoyingly obtuse. Was Tinubu part of the insecurity used against GEJ? Did he organise the Chibok Girls kidnapping? No.

Say what you will but Tinubu is a decent and humane person. His instinct is always to do the right things and protect. Ask even Ngige that Obi and his fellow bigots ganged up against yet Tinubu bravely came to his aid with ACN.

Does he play politics? Absolutely. All politicians do. Kemi Badenoch is giving UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer wotowoto currently trying to get him thrown out so she profits.

It is Northern leaders, that you worship and support, who engage in politics of terrorism and murder of innocent Nigerians out of desperation to control the commonwealth of Nigeria.

Did El Rufai not confess he paid Fulani marauders to prevent them killing Kaduna folks? What kind of madness is that? Would Tinubu ever do that rather than organise a tactical team to wipe out murderous elements who are a menace to society even if they are his fellow Yorubas?

You guys should stop coming online talking rubbish because of your traditional and indoctrinated prejudice against Yorubas. We all know what and who are the real problems of Nigeria.

Lastly, insecurity is complex and very layered. You can fool yourself believing Tinubu is failing at it, because you want your candidate Atiku to be President, rather than admit the real reason insecurity has become difficult to tame today is because of what we have failed to do to address fundamental problems of Nigeria for decades.

Problem that have worsened significantly to now leave our mono-economy and many sectors, like crime-fighting and power supply, on life support needing long-term solution.

Lee Kuan Yew had 31 years in power to make Singapore a developed nation while you are shouting Tinubu, dealing with more structural decay than Singapore had, should achieve miracles in every sector in 3 years.
