One does not liken one’s fortune to Mokúṣiré’s; if Mokú dies in the morning, he resurrects at night.

The name Mokúṣiré means ‘‘I play at dying.’’

@Skilzmania @trigottista Of course.

Someone does not understand BODMAS but you want to teach him trigonometry. That is how Tinubu's tax reform is. That you think Obi doesn't understand the foundation of taxation means you haven't listened to him with an open mind.

You want to tax people without making sure that their lives are better. You want to tax without making sure there are social amenities they can also enjoy. The revenue has not translated into anything tangible but by all means, let's tax. He is eloquent is making your lives difficult.

You people are clowns honestly.

If in your almighty sense you have decided to go this way, who am I to say no. Please, journey mercies as you vote the alternative. Buhari and integrity, Buhari and sense, in the same sentence?

Please, please. By all means, enjoy your blissful opinion.

I am vehemently against the tax reform because, at the end of the day, the elites won’t suffer. It’s a case of what happens when elephants fight. You tax Dangote more, and he simply increases the prices of the commodities he sells.

My problem, however, is with the people who want to replace this man.

He understands his policies and can explain them eloquently and with ease.

This is why I insist that Peter Obi is a vocabulary-enhanced Buhari. In my view, both men do not truly know why they want to rule. That is precisely why Buhari’s eight years were so catastrophic.

I also do not like populists at all. They tend to oversimplify everything. Nigeria is in a deep mess, and we cannot afford another eight years of a Buhari-like government.

Peter Obi is simply not the right man for this job.

Eric here again with every bit of our silent thoughts.

The month of June is for Men’s mental health, and we are saying thank you to all the men out there making sacrifices to attain fulfillment for their families.

@omotourlar Person wey him head no correct

[ỌmọỌba Adéyẹmí @Adeyemi_joab]

Rigorous as how? Did Buhari say 10% of what obi said? Abi, this one head no correct ni? Did Buhari articulate just 10 percent of what Obi has been saying?

[T. Rânkïn' PisTola! @AfroVII]

If you agree that supporting Buhari 11 years ago was a monumental error, should we then not be more rigourous now? I'm curious as to why this is a criticism.

You want more of the same or better? Many of these same people have criticised BAT & his govt over and again, FFS.

[ỌmọỌba Adéyẹmí @Adeyemi_joab]

Ohh please!! Shut up. Imagine a doctor saying this?

[Dr. Yakubu Sani Wudil @yakubwudil]

I disagree with Rarara on most of his views. However, it is wrong for Davido to label him as uneducated, and equally wrong for our Northern people to accept that characterization simply because he does not possess a formal certificate.

Rarara has received a substantial Islamic education and therefore cannot fairly be described as uneducated. He can read and write in Arabic script, which is itself a form of literacy and learning. Education is not defined solely by Western-style certificates.

This is an important clarification to make.

[ỌmọỌba Adéyẹmí @Adeyemi_joab]

@stephen_odebode @lekan_olayinka1 You mean the man that was removed in a bloodless coup? The head of state who had no intelligence that they were moving against him? Come on!!! You can be better than this.

[naijaPatriot @jollynony]

Peter Obi is no longer putting his ideas out in public.

I think I know why.

Grab a coffee it’s another long one.

Come with me to 2022 when Peter Obi made the racket of the subsidy regime mainstream. He said it was a criminal enterprise and he would tackle the criminality, and if it continued to be unsustainable he would remove it.

He compared Nigeria to Pakistan who have a similar population, as many cars, but consume 20million ltrs/day, while operators in Nigeria claimed subsidy money for 60 million ltrs/day.
He asked, “Who is drinking the rest?”
He made it easy for us to understand.

Stay with me here. He importantly made a commitment that the money saved would be visibly channelled into critical areas of development, “… and people will see it!”

Now here’s the rub. Because he has been open about his plans, and people trust him, he had inadvertently softened the ground for the heartless variant of subsidy removal that Tinubu did.

I submit that the lack of resistance that people showed was because the idea was popularised by a trustworthy person.

Tinubu seized the idea and warped it. He removed its human face so that it was the already rich, who had originally benefited from the corruption in the subsidy regime, that still landed on their feet. The rest of us were left holding the bag like suckers!

Then came May 29, 2023, inauguration day, when we heard, “Subsidy is gone!”
A thoughtless, soulless pronouncement of a king who forced himself on the people exerting revenge for not showing him love.

That’s how I see it — a power move against the people.

“You refused to vote for me, yet I am president and your life is like clay in my hands. Who’s crying now?”

How else could I make sense of it? Was it rank stupidity? You and I know that no one is that stupid.

Maybe it was pure conscienceless greed, where the only thing that mattered was the money that will not be paid as subsidies but can go to buying patronage and extending power.

Do you see how good ideas can be thoroughly corrupted in the hands of someone whose character and motivations are at odds with the people they’re meant to serve?

Now when we complain, his supporters will say, “Did your Messiah not say subsidy was bad and had to go?”

So yeah, I think Peter Obi has stopped softening the ground for their callousness to land without resistance.

Let them generate policies entirely on their own so people will judge them on execution and the impact on people’s lives.
No more heartless spins on good ideas that have been “marketed” by a trustworthy person.

PO now insists that we must vote on the merits of the character of the person making the promise.

Consider this. When Dangote declared that he would build Africa’s largest refinery, even people who were doubtful knew one thing — fail or succeed he would give it a good go.
It wasn’t the same kind of farting in the wind as, “If I don’t give you power after 4 years, don’t vote for me.”

Once people knew the site of the proposed refinery, they rushed to buy adjoining lands on the strength of the character and antecedents of the man Dangote.

So guys, Peter Obi is no longer popularising ideas. None of these ideas are rocket science, as he puts it, anyway. If you say you’re going to build a house, build it. It’s as simple as that.

Sure there are issues that will arise. Things that people don’t anticipate, problems are a constant in every project. But building a house is a known craft. The engineering is not esoteric.

Neither is large scale electricity which has been around for a century.

In recent times, similar countries as Nigeria have ramped up theirs — Egypt 28k MW, Indonesia 60k MW. Peter Obi had to visit them to see if they were using juju — they weren’t.

So when the man who conquered greed says I will generate and distribute 10k MW — I’d sooner believe and trust his commitment than the guys who have never seen a ₦1m they could steal and left it alone.

[ỌmọỌba Adéyẹmí @Adeyemi_joab]

@iche_adele @pltbot @0morinsola Hope the Trojan horse understands. You've just told him the cardinal rule to getting a better Nigeria. As for those moaning about Obi not articulating enough, they can vote Bulaba. He's articulated enough to give them premium corruption and suffering. Bunch of sufferheads

[ỌmọỌba Adéyẹmí @Adeyemi_joab]

@TheEgnite @trigottista He has deactivated. Ohhh God save am.

[ỌmọỌba Adéyẹmí @Adeyemi_joab]

I just posted you on my WhatsApp status. Premium quote you gave. They know I don't post often but when I do, it's to give those APC supporters on my list high BP. I won't forgive their st^pidity. On top of that, they have no shame or remorse. Just double down on their bad choice and judgement.

[ỌmọỌba Adéyẹmí @Adeyemi_joab]

@trigottista @its_ziiel why did you delete. We have the screenshot na.

[ỌmọỌba Adéyẹmí @Adeyemi_joab]

@trigottista Person wey suppose go buy Brighter Grammar. I don't attack people's English normally but the st^pidity of APC supporters even reflects in their write-ups. Very unmistakable.

[ỌmọỌba Adéyẹmí @Adeyemi_joab]

Arindin, he owes you but you owe Tinubu who currently is being paid by taxpayers. You'd rather make excuses for Tinubu but demand answers from someone who is not in government yet. I have always maintained that nobody should be this st^pid like APC supporters. It's an abberation to be this sensel*ss.

[ỌmọỌba Adéyẹmí @Adeyemi_joab]

What is his definition of "best out of better?" Tinubu is a better of any presidents that came before him even the personified nepa bill with his almighty failure is better than him.

Rederede.

[Ijèșà Òṣómàáló @Animashaun_]

The danger of where we have found ourselves as a nation is that everybody now thinks all decisions are Obi vs Tinubu.

Once you criticize Obi, they stylishly bring Tinubu up.

Man idgaf about the two. I just want the best for my country. And when I say the best, I mean the best, and that would mean demanding even more from the better of the two.

I cannot rest until i get the best out of the better

[Support Obi till he licks Microphone @AnotherAnowa]

For once guys , Let us have a president that is not a thief.

we are not asking for too much

[ỌmọỌba Adéyẹmí @Adeyemi_joab]

I typed a long essay, then I asked myself "what's the point of debating a Tinubu supporter?" You've all mortgaged your reasoning.

[Wale Kembi @Kembox]

Your bragging right should be based on what Obi said in the interview not what Tinubu would be able to say.

Anything other than that is pure deflection to protect your shallow candidate.

[Olusegun Bakare𓃵 @theboyisgreat]

They expect a lot from Peter Obi bcos they know well that Tinubu can't offer anything.

Peter Obi is the president they want, but Tinubu is the president hunger and greed make them support .
