[TRUEST]

Oh I'm Nigerian now?my opps call me Somali or Mexican
Catch up

You’re actually a moron. But I know your history better than u know urself. I know why u are dumb.

He has zero chance of winning in a country like Nigeria. He will just be sowore 2.0

No one has said he will win. Sowore is an activist and never had the youth because he is seen as someone who helped Buhari get into office.

But time will tell. My only point is to encourage folks to watch.

 

[Ugo Ogugwa]

I will just leave this here. Summary of common sentiment on the ground.

Peter Obi doesn't have a chance. The real candidate is Rotimi Amaechi. He's the single reason Nigeria has eradicated piracy and now has a functioning railway system.

I don't know about a functioning railway system chief. Didn't the Abuja-Kaduna railway get hijacked a while ago by bandits?

Also, not sure about that piracy claim.

Personally I believe Nigeria is far past the point of saving and needs to break up.

If Nigeria breaks up - whats next?

A bunch of tiny independent nations like Togo, Benin, Gambia?

Genocide or ethnic cleansing against Christian ethnic groups in the North, to start.

But why fighting over religions?

This is so dumb.

We are West Africans - we are not from Arabia or Jerusalem

Obi seems like a good guy. Can't expect him to win but I like his energy.

West African is colonized in both mind and physicality (eg France in Mali, Chad, Cameroon, Togo, Ivory Coast etc)

 

[Benjamin Sisko]

Salute.

I'm not Nigerian, but I feel like a strong Nigeria will benefit us all.

Nigeria should be a black superpower.

I feel the same for Congo.

2 countries I'm rooting for.

The most obvious split is along North-South lines. Leaving the religious fanatics up North to their own devices.

Also, ethnic persecution of religious/ethnic minorities in the north and a massive migration to the south.

For those of you interested in international politics, especially African, Peter Obi is attempting the impossible in Nigeria.

He is challenging the status quo by attempting to run a corruption free presidential candidacy for quarter 1 of 2023.

For context, Nigeria has two main parties just like the US, PDP and APC. Like the US, many Nigerians are calling #BothSides and recognizing both parties as corrupt.

Peter Obi is running outside of the main parties and is attempting to proceed in a grassroots fashion based off of youths and Nigerians who are tired of what Nigeria has become.

If Peter Obi is succesful or continues to make significant noise, this will be a quite notable event for Africa and black people in general.

Something I suggest those who have interest keep an eye on.

Obama was bankrolled by Wall St.

Aren't the national resources in the north??
