So I'm jobless and I have no future? Maybe you think you're referring to yourself. If you're jobless and need to learn some online trading, you can contact me let me put you through. With that, you might be above poverty level by spending above 1 USD daily.

BTW, can we kindly stake 1k USD a week to the election on our preferred candidates since you feel you're the richest on Nairaland? We would make any of Mynd44, Seun, NLfpmod, Mukina2 or any trusted Nairalander our escrow.

funny guy. we still need ur support regardless. A lot of Yoruba population are already on the bandwagon but Obi literally needs everyone's support to defeat Atiku. My dear Obi needs your vote. Tinubu is too old to even remember his name

It's laughable for these children in nairaland making prediction of a possible emergence of Tinubu. The only place tinuhu's vote is coming from is just the southwest and we all know that the Christians there are split as a result of the muslim-Muslim ticket and majority already deciding working against him. Some of the most prominent elites - Obasanjo, Pa Ayo Adebanjo and a host of others who haven't publicly come out are all against tinubu's candidacy for the obvious reasons,. The educated youths are taking their destinies in their own hands to vote for their future and that of their children. So where will Tinubu secure the votes that will get him the 3rd position.
Kwankwaso is very strong in Kano with a large populations of voters in that state and pockets of votes in neighbouring states.
I sincerely see kwankwaso overtaking Tinubu and this is not a rocket science

Moh247:


Tinubu is your next President, know this and know peace

even you know Tinubu as it is currently cannot get a 3rd position if kwankwaso gets massive support in kano

Moh247:



Then why are you worried

.

worried because we mustnt allow another 8yr of fulani regime

We all know the contest is between Peter Obi in the south and Atiku in the north. Atiku will get his quantum of votes in two geographical regions of northwest and northeast while Obi gets his quantum of votes in southeast and south south.
Peter Obi will have more votes than any other candidates in the north central while Tinubu currently might be winning in the southwest unless the south westerners do the rightful calculation by supporting Peter Obi.
The southwest votes is obviously not going to get Tinubu anywhere and Obi needs this southwest vote for a southerner to emerge instead of another fulani.

Okoroawusa:
I am voting wisely for Bola Ahmed Tinubu

but me and you know voting for Tinubu is indirectly supporting atiku

Your vote has always been the deciding factor whenever you wish to make a statement. Whenever a candidate feels he is emilokan. Jonathan felt with the state machineries and resources, presidency is for him to easily grab. But when you swung sideways he fell like pack of cards.

Today Tinubu with all the machineries and resources to his disposal feels he got it all but obviously NO because he is going nowhere. All the variables are against him. Where will he get his votes? Southeast and south south are completely out of his reach. He would hardly get 10percent votes in the north because if he does, he should even be declared the winner. This makes the contest that of Atiku and Obi. Atiku obviously may be getting 50 percent votes in the north. 50percent because the enlightenment has been going and many northerners now want change from the systemic rot (statusquo). They are obviously paying the prize of bad governance and the experience has not been palatable. The middle beltans are thinking a different direction and the awareness core north is obviously not looking good for Atiku.

Obi on the other hand might be getting between 80 - 90percent votes in the southeast and south south region and a sizeable percentage in the middle belt but then he equally needs a serious inroads in the southwest to consolidate.

This is about our survival and the survival of our children. Nigeria is hugely blessed with both human and natural resources but still we are living below the normal human level do to the satanic system our politicians have created for themselves. Obi is obviously not a saint but his message is quite different from the usual political messages we are used to. Let's try this and see how this goes because I know things will not remain the same.

The great people of the Yoruba nation swing that pendulum to make that important statement that your vote is never cheap and for easy grabs

It's not a rocket science to understand that.

sapele914:
No point wailing, the train has already left the station.

No man can stop Asiwaju but Jehovah.

I don press una mumu button and una don dey show how foolish una life be, you are supporting your great grand blind father to lead you. Simpletons

After all Nigeria has been going through in the hands of Buhari government, some people are struggling to set Nigeria on fire by the choice they are pushing for Nigerians. How can one says he is not evil and he is supporting a Tinubu to lead Nigeria. To lead Nigeria where if I must ask, to complete destruction?. These people should reverse whatever thought or stance on this choice of tinubu?

Because from their comments on social media they seem to be mocking and laughing at Nigeria's terrible situations. They are like people employed by Satan himself to put an end to the hope of this country

PassingShot:
Nigeria accused me of fraud with the Ministry of Health. As you yourself know, both in Abeokuta and Abuja I lived in your houses as a Senator. In Lagos, I stayed in my mum’s bungalow which she succeeded in getting from you when you abandoned her with six children to live in Abeokuta with Stella.

I borrowed against my four-year Senate salary to build the only house I have anywhere in the world in Lagos. I rent out the house for income. I don’t have much in terms of money but I am extremely happy. I tried to contribute my part to the development of my country but the country decided it didn’t need me. Like many educated Nigerians my age, there are countries that actually value people doing their best to contribute to society and as many of them have scattered all over the world so have many of your children.


I can speak for myself and many of them; what they are running away from is that they can’t even contribute effectively at the same time as they have to deal with constant threats to their lives by miscreants the society failed to educate; deal with lack of electricity and air pollution resulting from each household generating its own electricity, and the lack of quality healthcare or education and a total lack of sense of responsibility of almost every person you meet. Your contribution to this scenario cannot be overestimated.

You and your cronies mentioned in your letter have left the country worse than you met it at your births in the 1930’s and 1940’s. Nigeria is not the creation of any of you, and although you feel you own it and are “Mr Nigeria” deciding whether the country stays together or not, and who rules it; you don’t. Nigeria is solely the creation of the British. My dear gone Grandmother whose burial you told people not to attend, was not born a Nigerian but a proud Ijebu-Yoruba woman. Togetherness is a choice and it must serve a purpose.

As for Nigerians thinking I have their money, when it was obvious I was part of the Yar’Adua (government’s) anti-Obasanjo phenomenon that was going on at the time. The Ministry of Health and international NGOs paid for a retreat for the Senate Committee on Health. The House Committee on Health was treated exactly the same way. The monies were given to members as estacode and the rest used for accommodation, flights and feeding. While the Senate was on the retreat in Ghana, the EFCC asked the House Committee to return the monies they received for their retreat and asked us in the Senate to return ours on our return which I refused, as it was already used for the purpose it was earmarked for in the budget that year which was to work on the National Health Bill.

The House Committee had not gone on their retreat. I did nothing wrong and my colleagues and I on the retreat did our work conscientiously. I asked the EFCC not to drag my colleagues into it and I am proud I suffered alone. As is usual in a society where people who are not progressive but take pleasure in the pain of others, most Nigerians were happy, not looking at the facts of the matter, just the suffering of an Obasanjo.

As the people that stole their millions are hailed by them the innocent is punished. When the court case was thrown out because it lacked merit even against the Minister, no newspaper carried the news. The wrongful malicious prosecution of an Obasanjo was not something they wanted to report; just her downfall. But it really wasn’t about me, it was about right and wrong in society and every society gets the fruit of the seeds it sows.

How do you think God will provide good leaders to such a people? God helps those who help themselves. I have realized that as an Obasanjo I am not entitled to work in Nigeria in any capacity. I am not entitled to work in health which is my training, or in any field or anywhere in the country or participate in any business. I have learnt this lesson well and there are societies that actually think capable, well-educated people are important to their society’s progress. Apparently, unless I am eating from the dustbin, Nigerians and possibly you will not be satisfied. I thank God it has not come to that based on God-given brains and brawn.

When I left Nigeria in 1989 for graduate studies in America, you promised to pay my school fees and no living expenses. This you did and I am grateful for because, working in the kitchen and then the library at University of California, Davis and later, working on the IT desk and later as a Teaching Assistant at Cornell gave me valuable work ethics for life. I wouldn’t have it any other way. As a black woman in the early 21st century, I have achieved much and done more than most. My wish is that black girls all over the world will have the capacity to create their lives, make mistakes, learn from it and move ahead.

Moving back to Nigeria, thinking I wanted to serve was obviously a grave mistake but one brought about by the tragic incident of April 20, 2003. This was the day five people were shot dead in my car. The mother of the children was an acquaintance I had met only one day before the incident.

We had attended the same high school and university but she was there ten years earlier than I. She had also studied public health in the UK as I had in the US. It was these coincidences that made us connect on our first meeting and then she decided to visit on the Saturday of the election of 2003 when the incident occurred. I am scarred for life by that incident and I know the mother was too as we both looked back to see two men on each side of my car shooting.

I understand her trauma and her behaviour since then can be judged from that. Nigeria is a nasty place that pushes people to lose their compass. I participated in the campaigns leading to the elections that day, more because this was my first experience of electoral process in Nigeria. Growing up there were no elections and I was too young in the 1979 and 1983 elections. It was interesting to see democracy at work. When Gbenga Daniel who I campaigned for offered me a job, I probably would have declined it, if not for the memory of the dead.


I felt I had to engage in making the country progress and to avoid such incidences in the future. I don’t need to tell you or anyone what kind of governor and person Gbenga Daniel is. As usual when I found out, you would not listen to my opinion but found out for yourself. I also campaigned for Amosun for the Senate in 2003. I have had some wonderful Nigerians do good to me, I will never forget the then Minister of Women Affairs, who saw me talking in the crowd at a campaign event and was alarmed and said “bad things can happen to you out there, I will give you one of the orderlies assigned to my office to follow you”. This was the police man that died in my car that day. I never really thought bad things would happen to me, I moved around freely in society until that shooting scarred me and I accepted a police detail. I was constantly scared for my life after that.

You called me after your vengeful letter as usual, looking out for yourself and thinking you will bribe me by saying the APC will use me for the Senate. Do you really know me and what I want out of life?

Anyone that knows me knows I am done with anything political or otherwise in Nigeria. I have so much to do and think to make this world a better place than to waste it on fighting with idiots over a political post that does no good to society. That letter you wrote to the President, would you have tolerated such a letter as a sitting President? Don’t do to others what you will not allow to be done to you. The only thing I was using that was yours was the house in Abuja where I left my things when I left the country. I eventually rented it out so that the place would not fall apart but as usual you want to take that as well. You can’t have it without explaining to Nigerians how you came about the house?

As I said earlier, this is not about politics but my frustration with you as a father and a human being. I am not involved with what is currently going on in Nigeria, I don’t talk to any Nigerian other than friends on social basis. I am not involved with any political groups or affiliation. You mentioned Governor Osoba when you spoke to me, yes I was walking down the street of Cambridge, Massachussets a few months ago, when I looked up and saw him reading a map trying to cross the street.

I greeted him warmly and offered to give him a ride to where he was going. This I did not do because I wanted anything from him politically but because that is how I was raised by my mother to treat an adult who I really had no ill-will towards. Some said he was part of the people that manipulated the elections for me to lose in 2011. I don’t have any ill-will to him for that because I think they did me a favour and someone has to win and lose.


I had told you I wasn’t going to run in 2011 but you manipulated me to run; that was my mistake. Losing was a blessing. As usual you wanted me to run for your self-serving purpose to perpetuate your name in the political realm and as the liar that you are, you later denied that it was you who wanted me to run in 2011.

In 2003 I ran because I wanted to and I thought getting to the central government I will be able to contribute more to improving lives and working on legislation that impacts the country. I found that nothing gets done; every public official in Nigeria is working for himself and no one really is serving the public or the country.

The whole system, including the public themselves want oppressors, not people working for their collective progress. When no one is planning the future of a country, such a country can have no future. I won’t be your legacy, let your legacy be Nigeria in the fractured state you created beca
USA.use, it was always your way or the highway.

This is the end of my communication with you for life. I pray Nigeria survives your continual intervention in its affairs.

Sincerely,
Iyabo Obasanjo, DVM, PhD

Jones4190:
I foresee the end of ortom political journey, he didn't master the act of timing, the same with Peter obi, Never seem to be in a rush if you want to attain power – patience is a virtue. Learn to bide your time, and only strike when the timing is right. As time is a perception, by mastering your emotions, you can make time seem to move more slowly and lengthen your perception of the future. This allows you to become more patient and to see the bigger picture.
PDP are patiently waiting for ortom, governor of enugu, makinde and governor of the of Abia state to openly endorse the opponent so they will hacked unto it and suspended them, that will hinder them from contesting.

Terver Akase openly endorse obi meaning Senator Ayu calmness is winning from benue state, If you can stay calm while infuriating your opponents, you can gain an advantage, he has advantage over Benue now, he can even suspend him. By finding their weaknesses, you can disturb them and play with them at will. The more angry they become, the more ridiculous they will appear. This will reduce their power.

a hungry poverty stricken toad like u is talking about Ortom who is completing his two terms in office and a Peter Obi strongest contender so far in the presidential bid?

The bad people and the good people.

Among the bad people are above 99% Nigerian politicians, tribalists, those that sell their votes for peanuts, religious bigots, majority in the elites and church leadership.

Among the good people we have less than 1% Nigerian politicians, those youths that desire a better Nigeria irrespective of who is in the saddle. The celebrities clamouring for a better leadership irrespective of the tribe, those determined to vote wisely irrespective of financial inducement etc

The move is yet to be made public but authoritatively its been confirmed by the major news channels. This is coming majorly from a faction of the youth wing of the ruling party who felt youth have been skimmed out of almost every position of the ruling party in Lagos and at the federal level.
The spokesperson of the group who desired not to be mentioned quipped Labour party has transformed to a party the youth can work with for a better state and nation

They said the percentage of Fulanis living in Kwara is 5percent but they have already taking over the political, religious and the traditional leadership of that state. Another state they ve made pesistent incursion is Ogun and with people like Tinubu ready to become president at all cost wouldn't mind serving them that on a platter

How come the influential Kwarans bear northern names? Are there still Yorubas in Kwara or have they been driven out?

Obi remains the man to beat and Insha Allah he is the next president of federal republic of Nigeria

duro4chang:
Obi who was a member of PDP until about four months ago and even was a running mate of Atiku nko? Labor Party is an extension of PDP.

Obi has gone out of PDP for good, Atiku and tinubu are the same persons that installed buhari

The time Nigerians fully realize this the better for this country

LP

And these two major factors are what the corrupt leaders use to sneek into elective positions. These two factors describe the followership of the APC presidential candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu and to some extent Alhaji Atiku Abubakar

An 86 abi 87 yr old shaky shaky old man struggling with healthy young men to control a capsizing ship, isn't that madness. He will spend all the money in the world but will lose woefully. Who are those that will vote for him, i dont think fools in this country are up to 10% because they are the only One's that will vote such a man

StagethemTVee:
The Presidential candidate of the APC Bola Ahmed Tinubu together with his Vice Ibrahim Shettima attended a meeting with people living with disabilities.

Bola Tinubu who is largely touted for his generosity is seen having a conversation, then giving a wad of new naira notes to one of the disabled men who attended the meeting.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLJBcSJOrls

u re so pitiable. For his generosity when he own such world while all the iragbiji indigenes are all living in excruciating penury

In a sane clime this is the only thing they are judged with. They may get little consideration if they atleast fulfil 50% of their promises to Nigerians

Tinubu has assured those forcing him to Aso rock that if he eventually wins the presidency he will hand over the governance to Shettima and quietly fly to London to have his deserved rest and peace

Say no to ttibalism

Tinubu said he wants to retire and enjoy the rest of his life in London but some people wouldn't let him enjoy his life in peace

Nigeria is really blessed to have someone like Peter Obi coming at this point in our national life. It is as if God have had our long decades of prayers.
Brethren, God has done it already, all we need is to say Amen by contributing our own little uota to be part of this blessing and miracle been witnessed in our time.
God bless incoming president His Excellency President Peter Obi
And God bless Nigeria.

Trapnews:

The same Pitoobi that sacked non indigenes in Anambra civil service? The same guy that harassed El Rufai in Anambra? Abeg, Nigerians are not suffering from dementia. Stop packaging failure and continue your agitation for Biafra, atleast that is one thing you guys are good at, turn your region to war zone and scare investors away and later claim marginalization.

so u re still reading this foolish lines that has been debunked over and over again. Even El Rufai apologised for misleading Nigerians and u re still carrying this lies on ur little head. Peter Obi is just too good a human being, kiss the truth

Let's unite and vote for Obi for the future if our children
