Wike excuse for using a whooping 39b for renovating the ICC was because of exchange rates is quite laughable! It's not like he was building another structure! The amount of wastage by this istration is quite staggering! Unfortunately,the other arms of government that should be able to make the executive able are in the pocket of Tinubu! |

The title is hilarious! How can Obi be hated by a group whose name was coined out of his own name? Common sense is indeed not common from the apc trenches! 1 Like |

Osanoghodua1:This istration will not try it because it will expose some top military officers who are benefitting from the war! 1 Like |

Under this istration,bandits and terrorists are comfortably twerking on social media platforms like Facebook and tiktok! The audacity of these terrorists shows that the current istration is incapable of securing lives in Nigeria! 1 Like |

Skudi:Nothing has improved! Instead it has gotten worse under this istration with the band A and B classification! Even most citizens on band A cannot boast of 5 hours of electricity daily and do not make the mistake of using a particular district,locality or state to justify the improvement of electricity! If up till this point the current shambolic minister of darkness is trying to convince us that our transmission line capacity has improved from 5MW to 5.5MW...hence it should be worth celebrating! Let's not even go into economy and security where this current istration has score minus zero! We all throught we had seen the worst of insecurity under Buhari but it seems Tinubu is very determined to outscore his predecessor in the department of ineptitude and incompetence! If a fraction of the number of deaths so far in the north central had happened under a PDP government,the likes of Tinubu and his media outlets would have gone guns blazing by condemning such deaths and blaming it on the then ruling party! The less said about this economy the better! 2 Likes |

If we had a stronger electoral institution that gives total independence to the electoral umpire INEC,future and present political office holders would be held able knowing that if they don't perform,Nigerians through such electoral system will vote them out!

@favor914 But the American judiciary have been doing a great job of countering all Trump's unconstitutional actions which proves democracy is indeed present in that country...can you say the same about Nigeria's judiciary that is an extension of the FG? It's interesting that you are making comparison with america with respect to the unconstitutional actions of their president to justify Tinubu's recklessness....when are you going to compare the economy and inflation rate of Nigeria with that of America? Try next time to understand an argument before jumping into a discus that is above your paycheck and then proceed to cowardly block me due to your inability to reason beyond your copy and paste duties! |

favor914:Democracy has a specific definition and requirement that must be attained in its fullest not in parts! Don't jump into arguments you lack the required foresight to grasp! This isn't the regular 'copy and paste' you otiose folks at the trenches indulge in for crumbs! |

fergie001:Atleast we all agree that Paul was right to call him a failed actor! Kenneth called him a weak leader! What you should be asking is where did Obi call Kenneth a betrayer! |

fergie001:Good! If that's so,you should also not complain if Obi's close ers decide to respond in kind by attacking below the belt! Nobody has a monopoly of insults! Besides,Kenneth cannot attack Obi recklessness while everyone wants to determine the intensity of the insults or attacks Kenneth will receive! At the risk of sounding like a broken record,Kenneth should stop his attack on Obi or go and pick a form and contest as president in 2027 if he thinks or believe Obi is 'weak' or 'unfit' to be president! I can understand an attack from a Reno ,Bwala or apc minions but certainly not from a man like Kenneth that was ushered into the political limelight as a result of the benevolence of the same man he is endlessly attacking which for me is most unfortunate! |

tenpipsperday:They will likely say nothing because they all want to get reelected in 2027 through Tinubu's INEC! How can lawmakers be watching their people being slaughtered like chickens and say nothing? If only the people will be united and vote in a competent candidate from another party into power! Unfortunately,hunger had now been weaponised! 2 Likes |

Stolen:It's very unfortunate and sad! I have always advocated that if the federal government cannot restructure the country,they should allow states to peacefully leave and form their own country since they country they currently exist in cannot even take care of the most basic necessities which is security! 2 Likes |

fergie001:Nobody said so but Obi isn't the president of Nigeria! Kenneth should focus on the president or better still he should pick a form and aspire to be president! Interestingly,same Kenneth won't even win his own LGA let alone his ward! Enough of his irritating regurgitations! |

Do we still have a president in Nigeria? Yet some supposed folks from Benue state were carrying placards of Tinubu claiming he has done well ![]() 3 Likes |

Seems Obi has finally seen that the coalition is no longer going to serve his interest hence,he has decided to leave! That's the reason why Kenneth is wailing! |

When Obi ed the party in 2022, Labour Party was united. The house was in order. But since his arrival, crisis has rocked the party from top to bottom. The centre could no longer hold.The party was united yet before Obi came there were three factions! Each claiming to be the national chairman including that native doctor! Before Obi came Abure had imposed himself as national chairman from his initial position as secretary! Joseph be honest with yourself,could you have made up to 10k votes as flagbearer in 2023? If not for Obi,who would have known LP? After balablu has renewed their bank ,they are now talking crapππ LP united indeed! 1 Like |

fergie001:Kenneth has overstretched his boundaries and must be called out! He keeps attacking Obi recklessly as if Obi is the president of Nigeria! If Kenneth thinks he can do better as a president,he should aspire to be president and contest in the next election! I hate double agents! |

But agbadorians claimed Obi is unpopular! Even their latest recruit showumi claimed Obi disappointed him....Bwala and Reno cannot go 24 hours without mentioning Obiππ Any time insecurity takes place apc minions start asking Obi if he will not secure the country and you start wondering whether Tinubu is still the president of Nigeria ππ Obi is even popular than the current president! Other presidential candidates like Sowore will speak and nobody cares but when Obi coughs,the APC trenches go into overdrive! Omor when you are big,you are big joor! |

Guestmale:Don't prevaricate! We are talking about democracy and the president Cherrypicking some democratic requirement while permitting others! But since you are asking,let's do it this way using what I have listed! Has the president as a democrat obeyed the rule of law? The answer is no! Has the president ensured that there are effective reforms to empower the electoral system to guarantee free,fair and credible election as a democrat? The answer is no! Has the president ensured that our institutions are independent or subservient to his will and order? If we go through all of them,you will realize that the president is not a democrat! Like I said before,the same Tinubu before being president had mocked former presidents Obasanjo and Jonathan for the very issues he is doing! |

Guestmale:They are not just functions of a constitution but basic requirements in a democratic system! Who appointed the ministers? Are the ministers not suppose to be subservient to the rule of law? If a minister appointed by a president fails to perform and Tinubu claims to be unaware,then he has failed to respect the rule of law and cannot be seen as a democrat because the ministers are an extension of the president! Guestmale:Two wrongs can never make a right! Tinubu also removed a sitting governor against the constitution implying that he has failed in the most basic tents of democracy! Like I opined before now,if he claims to be a democrat,he must abide 'fully' by what is required in a democratic settings! |

Guestmale: Below are the key requirements, grounded in widely accepted principles of democratic governance: Rule of Law: A legal framework that ensures equality before the law, protects individual rights, and prevents arbitrary use of power. This includes an independent judiciary to enforce laws fairly and consistently. Free and Fair Elections: Regular elections where all eligible citizens can vote without coercion or manipulation. This requires:Transparent electoral processes.Independent electoral bodies.Universal suffrage (voting rights for all adult citizens, barring reasonable restrictions like age or mental capacity).Multiple political parties or candidates competing freely. Protection of Fundamental Rights: Guarantees for freedom of speech, press, assembly, religion, and association. These rights enable citizens to express opinions, criticize the government, and participate in political processes without fear. Separation of Powers: A clear division of authority among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches to prevent concentration of power. Checks and balances ensure ability and limit abuses. Independent Institutions: Strong, impartial institutions such as electoral commissions, anti-corruption bodies, and a free press to hold power able and inform the public. Active Civil Society: Engaged citizens, advocacy groups, and non-governmental organizations that foster public participation, monitor government actions, and promote civic education. Political Pluralism: A system that allows diverse political views and parties to compete without suppression. This includes opposition parties having a realistic chance to challenge the ruling party. Access to Information: Citizens must have access to reliable information through independent media and open communication channels to make informed decisions. Civic Education and Participation: A population educated about democratic processes, rights, and responsibilities. High voter turnout and engagement in public discourse strengthen democratic legitimacy. Economic and Social Stability: While not strictly required, a degree of economic stability and social equity s democracy by reducing unrest and ensuring broad access to opportunities, which fosters trust in the system. ability and Transparency: Mechanisms for holding elected officials able, such as audits, public disclosures, and anti-corruption measures. Governments must operate transparently to maintain public trust. Inclusive Representation: Ensuring marginalized groups (e.g., ethnic minorities, women, or economically disadvantaged) have a voice in governance through proportional representation or other inclusive mechanisms. Security and Stability: A stable environment where democratic processes can occur without violence, intimidation, or external interference. This includes a neutral military or police force that upholds democratic principles. If Tinubu claims to be a democrat,he must fully implement all the key requirements of democracy! As a president,You don't pick and choose what you must permit and reject in the democratic requirements! It must fully be implemented! Interestingly,the same president had attacked,condemned and mocked former presidents Obasanjo and GEJ for the same thing he is currently guilty of doing now! |

It must fully be implemented! Next time,ask questions before jumping into discussions you don't comprehend! |

They claim he is inconsequential... They opine that he has lost the very steam that gave him popularity in 2023 election.... Yet they cannot stop talking about Obi Every post by Obi on X and NL gets the attention of all and sundry! He is so popular and magnetic that Tinubu wasn't satisfied with the childish kicks from his trenches,he had to recruit Bwala and Reno to add more power....still not enough firepower,they are about to recruit a former loyalist to atiku ![]() ![]() Yet they claim Obi is inconsequential and unpopular?

I thought apc sycophants claimed he cannot set foot in UK or he will be arrested! Back to the issue,I have always opined that doing business in an extremely difficult terrain like Nigeria can be very depressing and frustrating! Nothing seems to be adequately functional in Nigeria for businesses except constant inflation of taxes by the government and yet they expect companies to reduce their price! Companies who can't meet up with the minimal expectations have either closed down or relocated to countries with affordable tax structure! 1 Like |
