They have gathered to bet, not about Liverpool or Manchester matches, not even about the next country that will win the world cup, but it is about something very sensitive, something that will affect everyone, and especially the future of their kids.

The psychology behind this bet is to create a defeatist mindset in you so that you will start feeling your efforts will amount to nothing, and most especially, to make it look like this election is about Obi winning or losing. No, it has never been about Obi, rather it is about Nigeria losing or winning.

A win or a loss is not a favour to the different political candidates contesting. All the major candidates have got what it takes to be very comfortable until they die. They can literally afford anything they want. But you and I will still be the big losers. . . with no schools to attend because schools are on strike, no job, kidnapping and killing everywhere, and everyone struggling to fly out to other countries.

So, I imagine that if ever Obi loses, there will be celebration amongst these folks betting. Interestingly, while they celebrate, Obi will return happily to his multimillion naira businesses while those celebrating will return to their trenches as they look for generators to charge their phones to tweet "I told you that Obi has no structure."

What a shame!

Willy7:
they are. This election is not and never will be about Obi, but rather the downtrodden, hungry, rejected and poor Nigerian that has said Enough to the status quo.

omenka:
Foolishness at its peak.

Which of the contestants doesn't have multi million naira businesses to return to upon loss at the polls?

Dude should bet if he has the funds or just tuck his tail between his legs and scram. They claim to believe strongly that the candidate would win but can't even risk a penny betting on him.

Throwback:
I remember when all these desperate souls were united under the umbrella of corruption.

Now they are attacking each other and reminding us that someone is a Camerounian and he lost his polling unit to Buhari. We are also reminded that one who deludes himself as a Saint that wants to revolutionise Nigeria, was a campaign director for Jonathan and helped to disburse the Dasuki funds meant for national security.

By themselves, they reveal the truths they had previously united to challenge.

Shame on all desperate political prostitutes and ticket hunters.

At the time $2b Dasuki security funds was being shared by Peter Obi as the SouthEast campaign director for Jonathan re-election, Doyin Okupe was busy defending the Jonathan regime that bought 2nd hand trains. He said we cannot have new trains because we are not America. When reminded we are the largest economy in Africa so we should have the money, he gave a vague reply and quickly stepped away.

Okupe and Obi are now in Labour Party as campaign director and presidential candidate respectively, and want to revolutionise Nigeria using Egypt standard.

We easily fall victim to deception in this country.

omenka so politics to you is just a game and not an avenue to better lives?
omenka if anyone will be yearning for change of government and current failed party it's you omenka from Benue due to the fact that your state is one of the worst hit of Buhari's maladministration.
but guess what?
you're now reinforcing another failure Tinubu just to spite igbos.
Omenka I can bet my life that 95% of the reasons you're supporting Tinubu is not because you believe he can deliver but just to massage your hate for the tribe that doesn't know your existence which starts and end on nairaland.
omenka put your people first
you know Peter Obi is better than Tinubu but your hate for igbos have blinded you.
omenka think about your people first.

Difrent:


Is Obi not a billionaire?
A bourgeois like the rest is whom the common man should see as a messiah?
And Is Obi part of the downtrodden....hungry...rejected and poor Nigerians?
NO.
How e wan take do am?
Relax and reflect properly....No difference between the 3 top contenders.
The one that will change the lives of the common man most is BAT....as he has demonstrated he knows ways of creating employment and attracting investments which are the needed ingredients for poor peoples economic emancipation.

Given the limited choices we have, Peter Obi is the best man for this position.

They have told you to stop comparing Lagos with Anambra but won't hear.

Compare Lagos with Dubai, Canada and even Johannesburg that's when you'll realize the damages Tinubu has caused Lagos.

Demolakay:


Look at d nonsense ur spewing! Lagos had d luxury no Oda state has,except Abuja now.
Lagos has d nations famous airport
Has d nation famous ports (Tincan island,Apapa port) etc
Lagos was a former capital, infrastructures were built Dere by successive government.
Lagos is d richest state as of now,but d state is still a slum.
D second worst city to live in.
Obi has limited resources to work with in Anambra,he showed prudence, built infrastructure, built roads wit minimal costs,unlike wat we av in Lagos.
Soo wat are u bragging Abt concerning Tinubu.
As at now,Lagos shld b competing wit Johannesburg,Pretoria,Dubai, Maroc,Algiers,Cairo etc.but look at dose cities ND Lagos,den ask urself why a state wit d 6th biggest economy is LYK DAT.where are d monies going to?
