Abakaliki Shakespeare bawo... Hahaha

Lol. Love that too. Sublime literary wit on display. "Abakaliki Shakespeare" na die. 😅😁

Wickedtruths:
Abakaliki Shakespeare. Used 3 paragraphs to reply to few lines.

That uppercut really affected you mentally.

Lol. I have always said Igbo man never says what he means and never means what he says.

When an Igbo man foams at the mouth against you lenghtily then it will usually be because you have prevented him from аchieving his hidden and nefarious agenda.

Obi rants rabidly against PBAT daily while he slavishly worships Atiku and other Fulanis ingratiatingly.

Yet can Obi, who says he is a pal of "good people" IPOB, confess those Kanu said Igbo must fight to get the entire SE to key into the whole IPOB lunacy that has now turned ther region into Somalia?

Was it a need to fight to the death the Yorubas and Tinubu or Buhari and his Fulani "jihadists" Kanu and co used to get Igbos backing and donating to their cause whereas Obi and co, after IPOB has destroyed Igboland, now wish to change the narrative today to present Tinubu and "ndi Yorubas' as the new and greatest enemies of the Igbos?

Christistruth03:
Capt Nwoboisi who murdered Akintola left Orizu the Senate and acting President ,Mbadiwe(Azikiwe’s right hand man)
Gen Ironsi and Col Hilary Njoku who were supposed to be high strategic targets all alive in Lagos and
drove over 100km in the middle of the Night to Ibadan
Just to assassinate Akintola ?

Whichever way you look at it, it was definitely Tribal

Of course it was. They are just mad we are now aware of their nefarious intentions and repelling them.

Our trusting and accommodating fathers and grandfathers gave them multiple chances.

This is despite the proven fact their fathers and grandfathers, in Azikiwe etal, are guilty of only ever nurturing an agenda of ethnic domination and covetously expansionist incursion into the SW

They believed the accommodating credentials of Yorubas to mean we are 'mumus' they can subjugate in their own land as Fulanis have succeeded to achieve against Hausas.

Cannot happen. Igbos and Fulanis are broadly the same, I.e both are malevolent expansionists and covetous land grabbers even as their modus operandi may differ.

The crucial difference is that Yorubas are not Hausas who willingly ceded what is in the best interest of their generations unborn into modern Fulani slavery.

Whereas the Fulanis succeeded in the North, the Igbos will fail in Yoruba land always.


The greatest anger of most Igbos, which many in the Yoruba intelligentsia class are aware of, is the bitter disappointed they have not being able to achieve in the SW what the Fulanis have against the populously predominant Hausas in the North.

Fiscus105:
Reno the chief critic, is from South West.

Soludo, his deputy chief critic, is also from South West.

Lol. Facts and established reality plays no part all in the reasoning and talk of Obidients. They truly are something else.

spencekat:
Wike through his boy, Leke is always reacting to any news against APC/Tinubu or concerning the opposition.

Isn't that the nature of opposition politics all sides engage in?

Perhaps I missed it, and giving you the benefit of the doubt, can you show condemnation for Obi's penchant for pettily "reacting to any news against APC/Tinubu"?

Even to the ultra petty and senseless levell to claim PBAT erred not wearing "funeral outfit" to visit Benue after an attack that saw many lose their lives?

jmoore:
Lere Olayinka na content creator.

Next

If he is a "content creator" then kindly tell us what Obi is.

owobokiri:
The way you morphed up from a wannabe social critic into a full-fledged anti-igbo, genocide baying/corruption defending partisan ur-ch-in on these pages, in a space of two years, is overwhelmingly alarming. Sham-elessly too.

You guys from the Southwest branch of the jan-ja-we-ed party the APC, have found it incredibly difficult to distinguish ure partisan contests from prim-itive ethnic mudslinging. It seem as if the way you guys were raised, every contest with a "non native" has to be dragged to the gut-ters of name calling, property destructions, viol-lent att-acks and vigorous but laughable attempts at ethnic clean-sing.

You all can do better.
Presidency wey fulani don use wipe nyansh for decades, na him una get and for 2 years una wan kpai all "ene-mies" of "great omualabis"? both real and perceived.
Una well done oo

Ye of course we must view him a condemnable villain who is in the wrong against you guys who are all virtuous saints and victims of wrong behaviour of others worldwide.

Be that in South Friday, Kenya, Ghana, Indonesia, India, Thailand. Etc. What is shown below is the truth for any decent, upright and God-fearing person.

Continue denying it to feed historical obsession with demonizing a people who have been the best allies and enablers of you guys, in the entire world, yet you took for granted and decided to turn into your enemies because they will not allow you dominate them as Azikiwe sought his entire political life yet failed to achieve.

helinues:
If you guys are not interesting in disputing our comments/points raised, then stop nagging, stop derailing threads

Thank you

Dude is just bitter. Don't mind him. Even what he accuses you of, the conclusion of the article explains factually. Yet me and you know them as irresponsible. Everything is always the fault of others while they are always virtuous and blameless.

They must all act like GRV, Azikiwe, Kanu and co constantly yet when Yorubas begin reacting and showing enough is enough, in the spirit of self-preservation, they begin playing victim and accusing us of condemnable behaviour they are masters of.

I personally don't think the relationship between Yorubas and Igbo can ever be repaired because of what the author of the article , below, rightly confirms about the pugnacious, ungracious , typically bigoted and entitled attitude of young Igbos towards Yorubas in Yoruba land. Yoruba youths, unlike our fathers, are rising up against it.

They have really damaged things to force the hands of Yorubas with the consequences of that now visible today.

Softmirror:
WizardOfNG you forgot to mention Dino Malaye in that list. 😁

Lol. Indeed. Melaye the boss af agbero and Lamborghini politics. Below was a disastrous low for Nigeria's image and politics courtesy of Melaye.

I.e his appearance in court on a stretcher and pretending to be comatose. Yet the Nairalanders desperate to see the back of PBAT are now cheerleaders of the likes of this clown Melaye.

I am slipping bro. Walayi. How did I forget Melaye ? 😅😅😂

DeLaRue:
Mr Amaechi talks without decorum.

He is not the type to lead a country.

Absolutely. Amaechi is hghly and condemnably irresponsible in both words and action. A total disaster.

I've lived away from Nigeria for many years starting from early teens so I've been influenced by other nations.

It is returning to Nigeria and formally engaging in business ownership that has shown me Nigeria is the worst nation in the world per those totally unfit for political and public administration leadership gaining important positions.

Look at UK politics for example. Keir Starmer is a fitting Prime Minister who deserves office from being a dogged, ever present and valiant leader of the Labour Party who led them to victory because he was always available to espouse the merits of the Party and reiterate the need for the British people to vote Labour.

Atiku, after losing election, returns to Dubai and totally abandons/neglects the affair of the political Party he ran on to then show up four years latter demanding to be President. How can any sane and fairly politically sophisticated Nigerian vote for such a character who'd be viewed a caricature, aberration and joke in British and European politics?

In fact, Atiku is a tragic reminder of how politically unsophisticated, to their own detriment, most Nigerians are.

I want honest people, whoever they support, to really reflect on issues and point to any Politician who wants to be President in 2027, other than Tinubu, who practices Party politics as Starmer and his peers in the West do.

Tinubu is always exemplarily available working hard relentlessly and dedicately for any Party he has built and helping such reach the apex of Nigerian politics be it ACN or APC.

He gives his all demonstrating always, as an example of desirable world best practice , what fit and proper political leaders , who should be in charge of the lives of an electorate , must be about.

Even Datti Baba Ahmed recently praised Tinubu's special and unique quality of building his ambition to be President over decades of loyalty and devotion to sacrificing for others selflessly and doing the right thing [b]always by his political Party and affiliates.

He warned ADC they would fail if they do not have leaders whose main interests are genuinely about what is best for Nigeria and can sacrifice for her greater good as Tinubu has consistently done.[/b]

From Atiku, Aregbe, El Rufai, Malami, Babachir Lawal and Obi to Ameachi etal, they are all disloyal and desperate opportunist jumping ship in pursuit of selfish ambitions to then be attacking the political Party they have departed yet previously swore was the best to deliver Nigeria.

It is nauseating and saddening to watch as an exposed individual. I.e the lack of principles and enduring political ideology by so many politicians bar a few like PBAT, Bode George, Ken Nnamani etal.

If I had the power of God, I'd simply instil requisite political sophistication in every Nigerian adult, so they can see what truly matters , because I believe that is what Nigeria needs, more than anything else, to become truly great.

yarimo:
Peter obi always think everyone is like his unfortunate Obidients oo 🤣

Lying with ease serially, when such is not even needed, shows a deceptive, manipulate and emotionally immature nature.

Even as a friend, a person who lies regularly and shamelessly should be avoided. Talk less of a politician who wants to be the Presidenf of the biggest black nation on Earth.

Obi is a shameless and desperate liar. Kilode? What most people do not understand is that lying needlessly, from an adult of Obi's age, is a big sign of emotional immaturity which is a giant red flag as far as political leadership is concerned.

For how Igbos follow their own blindly (Kanu, Ojukwu, Azikiwe Kaduna Nzeogwu etal) to their own detriment, thinking the are fighting/spiting others, nothing I would love more than for Nigeria to formally adopt regional autonomy so Obi can be the Premier of the South East Region.

Conclusion of article. Very interesting read.

Continuation.

@OP.

You left out the important parts of the article, to include the conclusion, without which the entire opinion piece makes little sense.

This is what I just discovered on NL.
Many of the people here making noise in the politics section, especially those posting and creating threads after threads about Peter Obi are not graduates.

I asked one "did you attend a university "? Next thing I saw was ban and my post is hidden.
Please, it begins to now make sense when they argue out of ignorance.

Lol. Being a graduate impacts commonsensical reasoning how? You guys are something else.

PrinceofSarcasm:
Seems the Yoruba don't want them to have their own port, but who cares it doesn't concern me

Yoruba this and Yoruba that. Yorubas send you people how? Do you even know one Yoruba person well to understand how we think and what matters to us?

We aren't tagged sophisticated and progressive for nothing. If we are the most exemplary enablers of others in our land, arguably to our own detriment, how does it make sense we resent the success or progress of others in their land?

sreamsense:
Do you understand the meaning of disgrace at all? If you ask sensible people, they will never see that as a win. That is what they call labouring in vain. Winning that couldn't carry him to Aso rock is good as a wastage. Obi winning Lagos with less than 10,000 votes due to some Yoruba christians that feared Muslim Muslim ticket and some mega churches that indirectly not supporting muslim-muslim ticket out of fear can't happen again.

Obi can not win Lagos again because there is no longer fear of muslim-muslim ticket. Obi can not win Abuja because of Wike outstanding performance. Obi can not win southern Kaduna again because of Tinubu inclusive governance to them and relegation of El-rufai to ADC. Obi can not win up to votes he won in south south because many of their leaders are now in APC to work for Tinubu. Serial loosers don't understand what rigging is all about. Election is not rigged once they win, but rigged once they loose. With close to 70 lawyers of Obi, they couldn't still prove how they won that election. Get prepared as usual to shout "they rig" again in 2027 since you sing that as song once you loose, and because you will loose again with wide margin.

Bruv, most of these guys are driven by ethno-religious hatred for others. This is why they never see the position of other and what they want.

Like fundamentalists, uncompromising anarchists and haters, what they want is all they allow to influence their mindset.

If not, then why will the instructive words of many SS leaders like Governor Eno, who see Tinubu as their friend and partner in progress, go ignored by Obidients who continue to insist South-South region will follow Obi ,as they did in 2027, when Tinubu has proven, with action, he is the President to empower the region optimally?

Below are the words of Eno, before he defected to APC, that should show sensible people what objective and progressive Southern leaders, seeking the best for their State and people, think of PBAT.

PDP governor endorses Tinubu for second term

There are speculations that Governor Umo Eno is planning to defect to the APC.

bySaviour Imukudo April 15, 2025

“Let me end by assuring our people-loving president, who will complete eight years because we are going to stand by him. And this is the truth. He cannot start this work and abandon it. Somebody else may not finish it,” Mr Eno said in his remarks.

Continuing, he said “The Bible says, who is this mountain that is standing before Zerubabel? The hand that started this work. That hand shall complete it. Our prayers for Mr President is for good health to finish the work that he started and commission this work so that this work will not be abandoned like the East-West Road,” he said.

casualobserver:
We are breeding too many dull citizens.

God bless you. What you identify is a major reason it is taking an agonisingly long period of time for Nigeria to get where she needs to be.

Imagine a nation with many, as if under a voodoo spell, determined to whitewash the image of a man whose well-recorded history screams mediocrity and failure?

Even here on NL we have the likes of Owobokiri and Mr.Vitalis , plus many others, who were very critical of Obi and condemned him as unfit to lead in the past.

Yet, when the possibility of him helping them achieve an Igbo presidency seemed viable, they all started waxing lyrical about Obi they thoroughly vilified in the past.

No doubt you are correct concluding "we are breeding too many dull citizens" in Nigeria today. I would add bigoted to the dull meaning "double wahala for dead body " i.e Nigeria .

Elusive001:
Peter Obi is everything they wished their god is. Imagine if it is their that has this huge acceptance and followership.

Peter Obi, in comparison to PBAT, is a messiah only to adult who irresponsibly ignore proven facts and reality, for whatever reasons, to take flights of fantasy.

For example, adults capable of pragmatic and critical thinking warned of the danger ahead if the SE embraced and legitimised the agitations of Kanu and co.

Where is the SE today for shunning the advice of those who are pragmatic and critical-thinking to embrace and empower Kanu and co?

Same is happening with Obi who is, frankly, a disgrace in terms of the best Igbo can offer as Presidential candidate yet so tragic to see how, self-destructively, you lot continue to worship him with messiah zeal.

We have seem this before with Ojukwu etal and it all boils down to lack of emotional intelligence that compromise logic and the ability to think winningly/critically.

SmartPolician:
I want to teach someone who will read this comment something

God is powerful, and government is powerful too. If you read the Beatitudes, you will learn that God gives hope, and government gives hope too.

But one difference between God and government is that you can see the government but you cannot see God. While the hope that comes from God is Illusive (because we don't see Him so we cannot question Him), the hope that comes from the government MUST be REAL.

Where a people perceive that they cannot trust their government, they lose faith in it. This is exactly what most Nigerians have witnessed over the years, including under this government.

But you see Peter Obi, he carries the hope of a working Nigeria - something the vast majority of Nigerians long for. This is a man that Tinubu and, I dare say, no other politician contesting for president can ever be!

"Carries the hope of a working Nigeria"? Obi is not an unknown politician with no history. For example, because of my professional practice, I call Nigerians who have newly arrived the UK "credit Virgins"

Meaning they are not known to the UK consumer credit databases in a good or bad way. If I then help guide them properly, from arrival in the UK, I can ensure they do the right thing , via laundering their credit image positively, to convince UK credit management algorithm view them good credit risks to the extent they can even buy their own home , via long term mortgage credit, 2 to 3 years after arriving the UK.

Now, imagine how impossible it would be for me to do same for Nigerians who are already in the UK consumer credit database as bad credit risk because they have multiple county court judgements, over a lengthy period of time, for failure to pay bills meaning the credit issuance system views them as not worthy of credit?

This is what you people are trying to do with Obi. His failed and well-documented leadership history, over a lengthy period of time, is there for all to inspect yet you continue to insist he is a leadership messiah .

If Nigeria works like the credit system of developed nations, then Obi woul be a very bad risk to contemplate because of his well-certified failings as a leader. As simple as that statistically and scientifically.

Sheuns:
Very few civil servants will make the Naira equivalent of $100,000 in 35 years.

Sports is big entertainment business earning literally billions for so many on far too many level than can be counted.

Why should the athletes who entertain the world, especially if they win big for their nation, not be rewarded big?

Please stop the 'hater' talk. It makes most of you sound like communists who argue private wealth and reward is a crime and only public welfare matters in life.

Public welfare does not negate the important need to adequately reward elite athletes who have won the ultimate prize for their nation.

Any serious nation would reward winning athletes appropriately so that others would consider it fitting to represent their nation and give their best always because they known their effort will be appreciated and rewarded.

@OP.

No correlation at all with all you wrote and the universal practice of countries worldwide rewarding athletes for bringing champion glory to a nation.

Athletes who win the ultimate prize deserve it. Especially when representing their nation.

blackgold2018:
2questions
1)then what if they finally give him the ADC ticket. And they all rally behind him??

2)what if Obi decided to be vice on Atiku? The masses will vote for that ticket. You should remove tribalism now and concentrate on the mess your lord and savior Tinubu has done. People just want to vote him out. Including some Yorubas.

Remove your poor tribalism brain out of the equation

Number one is the only option I can accept. 2 is for Southern slaves of the North. Perhaps that is who you are.

Northerners are our fellow Nigerians and brothers but they must respect us too as Southerners respected them to honour the power shift accord that led to Buhari enjoying 8 years on behalf of the North.

Let Obi, Amaechi etal challenge Tinubu. If they win then fair play to them.

I am a citizen of the world and cannot be a slave to Northerners when in Nigeria we should be equal partners in the union an respectful towards each other.

Na Agbero stunts...it's generational.

My friend, go and sit down. I was very critical of his conduct but I commend him for apologising unreservedly as expected of an Omoluabi. That na wetin Yorubas take pass una.

Stop being full of bitterness always. See even Ashleigh Plumptre, Super Falcon, sef don turn Najia to Kwam 1 musical talent. Her Uncle.

Time you lot move on . You can never win with your hate against Yorubas who are a loveable people with a winning way and culture. 😎

ok well said.. now leave it for Obi another southerner to continue, mug*

Obi should man up, instead of always fleeing, and stand his ground against entitled and born-to-rule Northern supremacist as Jagaban did.

Better. We can all make mistakes. To apologise as soon as possible, for our misbehaviour, is proof we are not beyond rehabilitation or redemption.

NSK4U:
So Tinubu is the man that the South should think of as one to develop her? Some of you think you are clever. You only recoil into south when the coast no longer seems clear. Awon Southern solidarity deceivers.

Don't mistake me for no Southern unity advocate. When I use the South I mean a people with fair homogeneity of socio-economic, religious and cultural ideals.

I would expect those people to be intelligent enough to make pragmatic choices that is in the best interest of their generations unborn instead of bickering pettily because of envy and ancient bitterness/hate towards each other.

Yes Tinubu is best to deliver a competitively free-market, innovative, private sector -driven and decentralised democratic system of governance that is the optimal and best chance, medium and long term, for Nigeria to attain "developed Nation" status.

If you lot cannot see that, then that is your problem.
