If present events are anything to go by (they most certainly are), i fear that another govt by the APC in 2023 will be a complete disaster for ordinary Nigerians! Apart from incompetence, their party machinery is oiled by arrogant men & women who're masters at Junk Journalism & Image
gagging the PRESS/TRUTH.

By then, every single piece of news & activities of govt will be steeped in cold propaganda, delivered with arrogance, charisma and self-entitlement.

I know some of these guys. Their PR games are topnotch. Their only problem now is that their product
Is unsellable, otherwise, we for don see nwii by now.

I'm writing this to motivate anyone who wants to say, "after all, I've tried," before giving up in the pursuit of the golden PVC. Please, do not despair.

We must collect them.

We will vote and defend our choice! #PeterObi

FOUR REASONS I WANT KENNETH OKONKWO TO BE ONE OF THE SPOKEPERSONS OF @PeterObi and @NgLabour

1. He has consistently detected the pitfalls journalists build when asking questions. You may not understand how important this is if you're not used to logic and argument.
#PeterObi
Presenters do build "Strawman" opinions, hasty generalisation, false dilemma and other fallacies to trap unaware speakers into accepting what actually is not right.

Take for example if I ask you, "What do you have to say to the toxic behaviours of OBIdients?"
#PeterObi2023
If you're not careful you will fall the main trap which is accepting that all/only OBIdients are toxic. It's not starting with "why, how", it is first in showing that that assertion is not correct. No other person have done this perfectly like Barr Kenneth Okonkwo @realkenokonkwo

2. Obi is interested in the history of Ile-Ife getting as many attention as the West's. With his presidency, Ile-Ife is set to become a tourist centre of attraction. He mentioned how as a young undergraduate, he came visiting OAU to behold the then incomparable beauty.
3. As usual, Obi analyzed how the government could have solved the ASUU strike by demonstrating his vast knowledge of the situation. This man means we'll for this nation, I tell you most sincerely.

1) I was at INEC office, Ifo LGA Ogun State, yesterday to assist some people who were doing their PVC transfer. We were directed to use a nearby cafe which has a direct access to INEC portal. On getting to the very crowded cafe, I was amazed to see people of different adult ages,
2) including the very old & mostly Yorubas, all of them discussing the Obiwave & how Peter Obi is the only reason they are updating their PVCs & voting in this coming election. I was moved to tears & didn't know that a Baba amongst them noticed & asked me where I was coming from.
3) So I told him from Isolo, Lagos & helping out whoever wanted to vote for Obi get their PVC. Baba asked me to give him a hug, I hugged & hugged & got tired of hugging people I have never met in my life. They all started to pray for me, for Peter Obi & for Nigeria. The tears

IGBOS WILL SUFFER?????

Let me further declare my bias here; I am an Igbo man from Anambra State.

A Benin friend told me last week that I support Peter Obi because he's Igbo and from Anambra State! I was actually speechless at his prejudice!
2. Someone also said it's time we help the Igbos they have suffered so much in this country; I was like seriously?

I still hear some say voting for Peter Obi will be justice for the Igbos; ignorance is really really appalling!

Let me drop a few points here;
3. If some of the reasons alluded above is why you are supporting Peter Obi, then you are not different from the Tribal Warlords and Religious extremist!

Let me shock you further...

Let Nigeria be Nigeria again.
Let it be the best dream people dream about. Let it be the pioneer on the plain.
Seeking a home where he himself is free.
(Nigeria right now is never Nigeria to me)
Let Nigeria be the dream the dreamers dreamed— 1/
Let it be that great strong land of love
Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme
That any man be crushed by one above.
(It never was Nigeria to me.)
O, let my land be a land where Liberty
Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath, But opportunity is real, and life is free
Equality is in the air we breathe.

(There’s never been equality for me)

I am the poor black, fooled and pushed apart
I am the immigrant clutching the hope I seek—
And finding only the same old stupid plan
Of dog eat dog, of mighty crush the weak.

‘I never said investment in SABMiller now worth $100m’ — Obi blames ‘one youth’ for misinformation | TheCable thecable.ng/i-never-said-i…
Obi said this in a letter to @CCSoludo, governor of Anambra state, on Thursday, through his media aide, Valentine Obienyem.

The former Anambra governor blamed “one of the youths, not under our control, but eager to throw in anything that glorified their hero — Obi”.

#SABMiller
In a 2018 interview, Obi had said he invested $20 million in International Breweries on behalf of Anambra state as a governor.

Obi’s claim was in response to questions on economic development, Anambra politics and his presidential ambition.

Its looking like there will be a run off in next year's Presidential election. #kwakwansiyya spread in the north shouldn't be underrated, he will likely get enough votes to impact the votes esp. for #Atiku and #BAT2023 in the north and.....
#Atiku is at a disadvantage here since the north is his stronghold. #Kwankwaso will win the NW and likely 25% in all states of NE. SW...BAT's stronghold n will get d most votes in all SW states, but will dat be enough? given that he must have 25% of votes from 24 states.
....Also in the same west, #PeterObi will make a showing, it will only be strong enough to damage PDP's chances and perhaps of no effect at all on APC's (reasons later). SOUTH EAST....#PeterObi will be a thorn in the flesh for PDP,

NO APOLOGIES, PLEASE.
On Peter Obi’s supposed ‘Stinginess’....

Sometime in 2009, ‘Mr’(as he preferred to be addressed) Peter Obi, Governor Of Anambra State at the time, visited Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and myself at Dallas, Texas. He came to deliver a get well message Image
from Dr Goodluck Jonathan and was billed to attend a black tie event at the Dallas Marriot.

Curiously, he flew into Dallas airport with one small carry on luggage which he insisted on wheeling around himself, and on getting to our residence requested to freshen up.
He opened his carry on, filled with files and paperwork and a few toiletries and an extra shirt, when the Ikemba and I asked if he was expecting another item of luggage, and he said no. Then, what will you be wearing to the event tonight?’, we inquired.

It was at that point

while #peterObi is busy understudying and comparing countries so that WHEN he becomes president he will replicate it, i was busy understudying #peterobi's life and how he is able to stay in Nigerian politics stainless, focused and progressive and i got these results...
I graduated top of my class by the way and i thaught i have arrived but after i researched about @peterobi's Almamata and his achievements in private/public service, i realised how myopic i have been over the years.
Mr peter Obi should have naturally settled for being a petty trader in Onisha after graduating from UNN as the status quo demands but he went ahead to attend all the famous business schools and universities in the world;

I don't think anyone has labelled #PeterObi a messiah.

No one has dressed him in the messianic gab of "the new sherriff in town, whose presence alone was claimed to have caused power to improve" ala Buhari in 2015.
It is false equivalance to compare the #PeterObi movement of today with the "Sai baba" chants of 2014/2015.

For one, the Buhari myth was just that - a myth - with zero evidence to show any tangible success in the past about Buhari.

In other words, nothing to verify.
But in #PeterObi movement, the man himself repeatedly says #GoAndVerify .

Peter Obi's success stories are there in the public domain.

His way of life is out there in the public domain.

The man has been consistent before, in and out of government.

This is the last of these flimsy lies that I'll bother disputing here, cos it has become obvious that I'm just wasting my time with unintelligent people.

Now, Peter Obi became governor of Anambra on the 17th of March 2006.

Why is this date important?

Walk with me 🚶🏾‍♂️ ⏰
According to the highlighted text in the bottom part of this screenshot, this trade dispute started in 2000, under the Mbadinuju administration.

Like I've always said here, & like every Anambrarian would confirm, Mbadinuju bastardised Anambra infrastructure & resources.
Now, Peter Obi became Anambra state governor, a whole 6 years after this dispute had started.

Now, if you refer to the screenshot above again 👆🏿, you'd see that this joint corporation had become moribund way before Obi became governor.

What does this mean? The workers were no

A CASE FOR PETER OBI'S SUPPORTERS AND YOUNG PEOPLE'S AGENCY - CUT THEM SOME SLACK!

1/
I have endured the continued subjugation of young people's agency and efforts towards the 2023 elections to the background, under the guise of trying to guide them into making the "right"...
2/
political choice for Nigeria. All over the world, Youth Agency is in constant battle with suppressant voices and it is worse in Africa and Third World climes like ours. I am persuaded that this is no new discourse.

I have seen young people's efforts, choices and contribution
3/
towards 2023 elections misrepresented as irrational, naive, undiscerning, unrealistic, delusional, insulting, and the likes. I have seen them held to high standards and expectations unprecedented. I have seen them doubt their capabilities in the face of pressure to appear..

Listen up everyone, let me tell you why it is very important that this Peter Obi movement is successful.

It returns power to we the people.

It means that every other politician, who aspires to the highest office in the land, will have to start to show all workings, in order
to have the backing of the people.

It means, that we have the power to continually decide who becomes our president going forward; enshrining equity, justice, fairness, competence, & credibility.

It means that we can dare to dream of a Seyi Makinde presidency in the future,
made possible by the sheer will of the people.

It means that we will no longer care about political parties, but care about whoever is the best candidate at the time, irrespective of what party they belong to.

This movement is iconic, & should not be taken lightly.
