SmartPolician:
Because you are on top, you will always be the topic. Peter Obi is being talked about more than even the snatch-and-run president

Don't fool yourself. Peter Obi is not on top of nothing and no one. Nigerian leaders do not rate him at all. They simply tolerate and patronise him.

It is ordinary Nigerian, the fans of other politicians like Tinubu etal, that talk about him because they passionately want Obi to fail duel to his virulent, abusive, bullying and extremely lawless supporters who go around in extremism and doing far beyond the realm of decency .

Imagine bullying a national treasure in Wole Soyinka and threatening to unalive the the family of Reno Omokri.

Don't fool yourself. Many of us don't rate the failure Obi at all. We know what majority of obidient are and what their agenda is.

Parachoko:
I'm still in shock Governors and Lawmakers from states like Lagos, Rivers, Oyo etc didn't ask for more allocation from VAT they generate

Nigerian leaders do not understand the concept of aligning processes structurally. Instead we use subsidies to hide what are fundamental wrongs no national system should facilitate.

The likes of Lagos and Rivers are essentially subsidizing the VAT shortfalls of other States , in a warped form of retrogressive communism, whereas Nigeria States should be forced to generate more VAT, IGR and greater diversity of wealth creation activities .

Communist 'gbajue' that we run, through subsidizing virtually every sector and process, is what is killing Nigeria because it does not stimulate the productivity of human resources for wealth/solutions creation whereas that is the best way to develop societies and nations.

How can a hand-out culture help any of us grow individually let alone States of Nigeria that have to meet the needs of millions?

Handing out subsidies , rather than seeking to create a system of incentivised wealth creation, breeds indolence and laziness and kills the zeal of man to create solutions.

The ability of nations to create solutions for their own problems, and even export those solutions, generates wealth and, most importantly , the ability to adequately strengthen every sector from power generation, education, food sufficiency, manufacturing, security, etc, etc, etc.

Everything in dumb and frustrating Nigeria is about 'sharing formula' instead of us seeking to create a system where all States, as much as possible, can be optimally productive and self-sustaining.

Private sector wealth is the way forward but we have instead created a system with too many civil servant, immigration offices, customs and excise workers etc, etc government has to pay when the productivity of each worker may not even be 15%.

There is no Governor, since 1999, that has innovatively championed the needs for States to be self-sustaining more than Tinubu with his drive for IGR growth in Lagos.


This is why I question the intelligence of Nigerians, comparing the dullardly failure Obi to Tinubu, and agree with the CEO of Moniepoint when he said the intelligence Quotient of Nigerians is low, in comparison to others, meaning his business could not justify employing Nigerians, even as they tried to discriminate in that direction, to accommodate that 'affirmative action' concept.

lawani:
Is it until there is genocide that we will all agree Nigeria should be divided?
Tinubu has done his part by returning the country to factory settings as it was at independence fiscally as oil is reportedly just 13 percent of federal revenue now. Your governor that you say is performing is doing so because of allocations sent to him by Tinubu apart from the Enugu governor who has substantially increased his state's igr.

Nigeria can now disintegrate with relatively no fiscal hiccups. Thanks to Tinubu. Every ethnic group should ask for this. You have VAT and CIT being generated from your land and it is yours. You can set up produce boards and have proceeds from there. You can start collecting PAYE tomorrow and it will be yours. Oil is not in reality more than one percent of the economy and fixation on it at the expense of living like real human beings is not worth it. Focus on freeing your land from Nigeria and if you are going to align with any group you must have your own state police under your own control for your own security.

God bless you. I have made this same point countless times here. Can we not simply be mature about the fact we are very different people who need different geographical spaces instead of continuing to fool ourselves with 'one Nigeria' idiocy, benefiting only the political and elite class, till Rwanda-style ethnic genocide is upon us?

Tinubu has done spectacularly well moving us forward even as Nigerians addicted to weaponised poverty, other previous leaders have used to keep them docile, cannot see that.

People forget, as two examples of many I can cite easily, he created regional development commissions for all geopolitical blocs of Nigeria the FG is funding and has fought, through the Court, to deliver full autonomy to local Government where each and everyone of us lives.


Why is the black man, especially the African variety, so unprogressive and self-destructive for God sake?
If we all have sense and are even minimally progressive people, rather than self-destructive niggas, there should not even be a Presidential election in 2027.

We should simply convene a sincere national conference to thrash out the modality of how the demands below from SW Governors, proposed in 2021, can be put in place and fully operational within six months.

How many more decades must we go forcing unnatural, destructive and unworkable unity?

The definition of insanity is doing things the same way, over and over again, expecting a different outcome. Albert Einstein.

What Soludo is doing is badly needed , visionary and brave. Other leaders should support him with it. Mass poverty and illiteracy has left Nigerians at the mercy of religious leaders who peddle false hope of miracles and "divine intervention"..

It really is a very serious problem that must be tackled. For Nigeria to be great, we must deliberately reduce the influence of religion in national life and accentuate STEM.

Science, technology, Engineering and mathematics that mastery of can solve most problems of society

Why is your god letting the worst weapon of Tinubu's deception that is fashioned against Nigeria, to prosper


@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Can there be any greater deception and worse fraud than this one

Lol. Rambling off topic as usual. Are those your words below or not?

"politics is a game of DECEPTION" .

If you admit they are, then walk away and stop embarrassing yourself.

esau0007:
Atiku does not have any respect for the south........... Donald Duke

Exactly what some of us have insisted continuously. It is not even him alone. It is Atiku and a considerable number of his fellow born-to-rule Northern supremacists and imperialists.

I personally don't think Nigeria has a united future as currently convened. Either we go out way peacefully under full regional economy, that will be fair to all and birth progressive emancipation for all regions of Nigeria, or we disintegrate violently.

jogojogo:
You are sick
Nigeria started in 1999.
I never wanted to say this
Atiku is indeed greedy
He destroyed PDP and ADC with his Greed
He will never be President

They all are bro. Did OBj and the South not do everything to respect rotation agreement? Was Yar Adua, a Fulani, not installed as President after OBJ?

How did GEJ become President? He sent Yar Adua into exile and simply took over? Atiku should tell us.

I really don't believe 'one Nigeria' has a future because Nigeria is full of too many people who don't understand the concept of equity and fairness towards others.

anonimi:
This is a very unnecessary statement from Atiku.

It is such statements, like that useless interview he did recently, that will ensure he is never elected president of Nigeria.

How can a man who has been around for several decades fail to understand that politics is a game of DECEPTION

Lol. I am glad you you have used your own mouth to 'cast' yourself. I have always accused you of being a fraud. Thank you for implicating yourself.

You have now admitted that "politics is a game of DECEPTION" you believe Atiku should engage in to land in Aso Rock.

God is wonderful. No weapon fashioned against Nigeria (be it Atiku or Obi) shall prosper.

DatNiggaDaz:


Aswani went to change to another moniker to come throw tantrums with a real Ni..

This long meaningless epistle of jargons is not needed. You claimed with your other moniker that PÖ is a corrupt Pandora fraud. All this deceit and propaganda of bringing Obasanjo into a issue of integrity of PO is the reason I said data bois mainstay involves lies, deceit and propaganda.

Leave Obasanjo out of your propaganda and tell your faaake certttifficcate holder to use gis EFCC to prove to data boiz like you that PO is indeed corrupt

A very difficult task for your roasted electricity fraud

Lol. Typical Obidient. Me and Aswani are similar how? You Obidients only make fools of yourselves showing, time and time again, you are too emotional to deal with the reality of Nigeria.

Please show the prominent and critically important Nigerian leaders behind Obi today.

Only those who wish to loot Nigeria dry, perhaps even turn us into an extension of the terrorised Sahel nations, will be behind Obi who has no mentees, no loyalist, no established political bloc and, most importantly, no leaders of gravitas and conviction behind him.

DatNiggaDaz:


Typical characteristics of data boiz of the faaake certttifficcate hollldderr. Denial, lies and propaganda their watchword

If PO refuses to pay tax, it is against the Laws of Nigeria. Is it not. Tell your faaake gutu messaish to send his attack dogs against PO his nightmare, if he has a case against him

Lol. Obvious you are not a winner and don't aspire to be one anytime soon being a rabid fan of Obi.

Please remind me of the outcome of the battle of Obasanjo v Tinubu and Obasanjo V Obi.

If we are talking strictly about men, willing to win, because they understand they must follow and be inspired by winners alone , then what should we conclude about Obidients following Obi who has fled virtually every battle/opponent he has faced?

From the earliest time in history, even in caveman era, leadership has always being about bravery and capacity of men to be at the front leading others into conflict to win.

Show us one example of your empty Messiah Obi doing that.

Yet you enemies of Nigeria are here daily telling us he can lead our nation against literally the thousands of monsters cowardly Obi cannot dare look in the face as we saw him flee to hide from OBJ and Atiku ( PDP primaries 2022) and ADC presidential ticket battle 2026.

You Obidients cannot appreciate how others perceive you

numericalguy:

The only reason you want Obi to be president because you are Igbo


Peter Obi remains the most desperate power greedy politician without contentment in the history of Nigeria for the following reasons.

* Obi shouldn't have contested for second term as governor if he was contented.
* Obi shouldn't have gone to court in his second term when he was impeached if he was contented
* Obi wouldn't have ran away from APGA if he was contented
Obi wouldn't have accepted to be VP candidate to Atiku if he was contented
* Obi wouldn't have ran ran away from PDP if he was contented
* Obi wouldn't have contested for presidency under LP if he was contented
* Obi wouldn't have massively rigged the elections in South east if he was contented
* Obi wouldn't have ran away from LP if he was contented
* Obi wouldn't have ran away from ADC if he was contented
Obi wouldn't be in NDC if he was contented


There is no record of Obi ever rejecting any silly oil block. That is a lie created by OBIDIENTS to make themselves happy. No one believes anything coming out of OBIDIENTS mouths because they are liars. Same OBIDIENTS claimed Buhari was dead and that a clone called Jubrin from Sudan was the one ruling Nigeria
Same OBIDIENTS lies that Tinubu is not from Lagos.

You say Obi is not corrupt yet same Peter Obi used his own mouth to brag that he was richer than a sitting US president a few years ago. How do you explain that to Nigerians. How did Obi get all that money if he didn't steal Anambra money. Same Peter Obi that was a celebrity in the pandora papers as his name was mentioned in many places in the pandora papers

Well-said. Omokri and virtually all Nigerian leaders have seen that Obi is a coward, charlatan, fraud and weakling with how he has always fled every confrontation with others.

Nigeria is the worst nation to be that way as a leader because other leaders will view you a joke they can dominate.

For example, Is Omokri not aware the same Obasanjo that Obi was scared of was the same person Tinubu went toe to toe with and dominated? Tinubu rid the SW of the PDP goons of OBJ !!

These are the psychology statements of life many of us don't even know is at play in our daily lives and interactions that men like Niccolo Machiavelli, Genghis Khan, Sun Tzu (art of War) etc made amazing observation about literally hundreds of years ago that is precisely valid today about human interaction and the way to win at it. Especially if you want to lead .

Obi fails every single test that should define what a leader should be. Flees every battle. Sycophantic weakness. Sucks up to those he must stand up to. Etc, etc.

Ordinary Nigerians (because majority can never have the talent to be leaders or think like leaders in a society) are the ones who believe in Obi.

Nigerian leaders don't respect Obi. Period. That is on Obi completely because leaders respect others they know have the aura, talent and capacity to be leaders.

Nigerians who understands the Idiosyncrasies of our nation know Presidency is not Obi's level at all.

He would be worse than GEJ with how low level chumps would be ridiculing and defying him even as he is supposed to have ultimate Presidential power.

Obidients are like Obi. They don't understand the rules of life. Men, even bullies, will always think twice stepping up to other men they know carry authoritative menace.

No Nigerian leader views Obi like that. Kenneth Okonkwo, for example, ridicules Obi these days haven gotten close to note Obi lacks leadership balls and persona.

Omokri approached Obi as he did because he does not view Obi a meritoriously fitting leader. That's the uncomfortable truth Obidients won't wish to confront.


https://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/05/peter-obi-was-afraid-of-obasanjo-victor-umeh/

When will you people drop this silly "only one watch" type of propaganda you believe people will dumbly swallow?

Peter Obi don cast. 2022 he had the appeal of Olosho wey move to new area.

Not anymore. Most Nigerians now know Obi is a fraud. Save your data for more productive browsing bruv.

Goodvibes007:
Lol. Awori don dey wake up.

They are the most liberal Yoruba sub group in Lagos, but there is only so much they can take. They have been pushed to the wall.

There is a reason why outsiders do not win elections in places that are dominated by Egun, Yewa, Egba, and Ijebus ibiles of Lagos state..

Well-said. I am Ijebu. We are liberal, accommodating and welcoming to outsiders. Yet we are not mugs and don't play like that.

Ijebus are some of the most criticically and analytically intelligent Yorubas you can come across. We are decisively quick to check awon a la se ju. History confirms that.

1nice:
You Urgent 1k people go cry tire.

Look at you urgent 1k person explaining nonsense.
You are talking nonsense, think before you talk next time so you will not explain tire.
Hide your face in shame.
You Urgent 1k person.

No imagination. Always following after others have set the pace. Like your fraudulent Messiah and Agulu charlatan who will never be President and us destined to lag behind better men and leaders.

You could only unimaginatively come up with "1k person" after you lot were busted as 2k cheapos like your cheapskate messiah. What a joke. Una no dey shame?

Radicalwarrior:
Ah ah, una don call national assembly of urgent 1k people and stomach infrastructure gist 😂

This is how urgent 1k people assemble, both for stomach infrastructure gist and free urgent 1k arguments

With this lineup of urgent 1k people, even the thread go need security guard

Lol. Do you know how sad and pathetic copy Cats are? No one takes them serious because copying others always shows you copy Cats know you are inferior hence the reason you must take your lead from those better than you.

Ogbeni, where is "Village boy" today you rushed to model on City boy? Lol. Na "1K Tinubu supporters" Una wan trend currently, when you previously called us 30k Data boys, because you lot have been exposed as cheapskates accepting 2k to go up and down making noise?

Less money than my gateman spends on his lunch lol. You lot are even cheaper than your messiah wey no dey spend "shishi" Abeg cry harder lol.

Look at them. Obidients aways revealing themselves as dullards and followers only able to take their lead from those who always confidently know the way.

City boy led. They came up with dumb and unimaginative Village boy that has now flopped and no one even talks about anymore.

Exposed and busted as 2k cheapos, they want to trend "1k Tinubu supporters".

When you are better you are simply better i.e Tinubu crew. Same way Obi cannot wipe Tinubu's shoes by any index of comparison. That is how God made it.

Maj196:
The only thing they know how to do is keep recycling themselves.

If you, your brother and your father aren't ready to stop them "recycling" themselves then stop complaining.

No one has told you political leadership is for alien from Mars or Jupiter alone. You can get involved to be the change you want or stop those you believe are misrulers "recycling" themselves.

Human beings naturally and understandably hate what appears entitlement mentality. Yet Abbas is constitutionally allowed to go for a fifth term pitching himself as best candidate.

It is for those who think they can do better to challenge and remove him. Nigerians need to understand the concept of showing up to be the change they want.

Abbas is not the one? Dedicate a focused challenge to depose him or shut up.

He does not have to leave his position to please anyone and he has done no wrong going for another term in office.

Ebubu6:
Is Soludo in APC ? Which SE APC leader will relinquish VP ticket to APGA in an APC sitting government when his APGA Anambra state has never even delivered to the APC ? The best Soludo can get is ministerial appointment, or senate on APGA ticket.

Bro, you don't know Tinubu and how unconventional he is. He is a project manager as well as a talented Politican.

He will accomodate whoever will make the project work. Look at Fashola, Ambode and Sanwo Olu plus even Hamzat.

Non was a rugged or core strong man Lagos political leader like Musiliu Obanikoro for example.

PBAT pushed and got the support to make them Governor.

If Soludo fits the project then Tinubu can make it happen. After all, there will be 4 years, after he returns in 2027, to plan for his 2031 successors.

Evelynluv20:
what’s Yoruba but?

He is mocking the "Yoruba but" liberals who have empowered their bitter enemies with their over-accomodating 'wokeness' in Yoruba land others will never extend to Yorubas in their region.

FSBoperator:
The authentic deputy National Spokesperson of the NDC has since denied any zoning arrangement and has said the party is yet to reach an agreement on zoning and if so, which zone it will go to.

This statement was made on the 8th of May in response to the false narrative being peddled online that the NDC had zoned their ticket .

Saw it ojare my bro. Was trying to show that dude to provide response, one way or the other, to the question you asked instead of engaging in personal attacks as those lot are fond of.

Ofunaofu:
The only people peddling lies, falsehoods, and propaganda are supporters of a notorious drug bárón, certificate fórgér, and identity thiéf who has plunged this country into unmitigated hardship, worsening insecurity, and endless electricity blackouts. Rather than telling Nigerians what Tinubu has actually done in the past three years to deserve re-election, they resort to poking their noses into what opposition parties did or didn’t do.

What is wrong with you. Did NDC officially zone her Presidential ticket to the South? Can you provide a definitive answer to his question rather then launching a senseless tirade against the OP?

Nigeria is failing because most of you prefer wahala and noise than having the calmness to brainstorm for answers and solutions.

Nice picture. Could it be a picture of two men who may later work together directly as leaders of the biggest black nation on Earth and the most powerful nation in the world respectively?

zomby:
This is the main reason why they remain the 2nd class citizens in Nigeria; no wisdom, no class and no respect, not only for others, but also for themselves.
It is truly sad!

Indeed. Developments like these are what reinforces the opinion of those, like myself, who insist Nigeria must separate if even it will be under regional autonomy.

We are too prejudiced against each other to build a great nation together.

Why then so we not accept this reality to then make it a formal agreement for us all to go and define our corners of Nigeria as we see fit?

Ijoba85:
Peter Obi and Kwankwaso should share the country into two parts , Obi should govern some parts while Kwankwaso govern the other parts. They should be co-presidents not the usual way. They can have this understanding and everyone can forget about their ego. If Atiku want, he can provide support and they give him some parts too or ministries to oversee . In that way , cooperation becomes solid. No single soul can defeat Tinubu with all his federal might and political intelligence he has without cooperation

Do you make allowance at all for the clear and strict provisions of the Nigerian constitution in your thinking?

This is why it is always A, B and C. Not C ,A and B. So far as Nigerians are not willing to come together to force Government to enact constitutional amendment, to rid our constitution of some moribund stipulations inserted to protect the interest of the elite and political class, then we are going nowhere.

While we all agitated for our own messiah to take charge, and even as they can perform better than others, the major changes that can rapidly accelerate the growth and development of Nigeria will not be achieved until the 1999 constitution is revised and amended sincerely to make it an enabler of growth and development of our nation rather than a protector the elite and political class.

As they say "the Devil is in the details". Nigerians will always miss that because they are sentimental, biased and prejudiced to a degree that damages the ability to think critically and logically.

“The ‘me me’ attitude will not cut it. And I expect maybe Peter Obi and Kwankwaso to sit down with an elder statesman like Atiku Abubakar to say, look, how are we going to share this power?

Baba Yusuf, above, is accusing Obi and Kwankwaso of the 'me me' attitude. Yet who is the ultimate 'me me' politicians, for countless reasons, than the Atiku he is subtly campaigning for?

The likes of Baba Yusuf are so arrogant and they talk the way they do because they know Southerners dislike themselves and are not united as they are.

Even this thread confirms this with how many made it about mocking Obi without recognising the imperialists arrogance of Baba Yusuf in suggesting it is fine the North usurp the turn of the South as if Southerners dare try similar if it were the turn of the North.


While I am no fan of obi, Baba Yusuf is a Northern born-to-rule supremacist and imperialist disdainful of Southerner. Crystal clear.

He is not honourable, does not respect the South and feels the North must size power in 2027.
These are the sort of people who believe Nigeria belongs to them and that they are superior to others even though, so far in our history, Nigeria makes no significant progress when the North is in charge.

They will set Nigeria on fire because they have no regard at all for others and only want their own region, religion, culture etal to dominate others.

If not Baba Yusuf should not be promoting a 2027 Atiku Presidency that is an insult to the South and will be the beginning of serious disillusionment of Southerners likely to hasten the break up of Nigeria. Southerners are not slaves of Fulanis.

Currently, all that is good about Nigeria is the south. Baba Yusuf and his fellow born-to-rule supremacists should bear that in mind. They are the ones causing existential problems for Nigeria, with terrorism they are failing to take responsibility for and tame, yet they cannot even have allow South have her 8 years in power.

Ebubu6:
Nuhu Ribadu is really doing his best as NSA. He's as powerful as that Buhari ally who died to COVID. He's controlling this government but people think its Wike who's the strongest. Wike is only likable because he has heavy influence at supreme court. But Nuhu ribadu has made strong case for himself when he contests election in 2031. He has friends in the Republican Party of the USA. President Ribadu Vice President Dave Umahi one day in sha Allah.

Not a bad combo at all. Soludo in place of Umahi is also workable in my opinion.
