What really happened??
BEFORE THE AMALGAMATION
As early as 1898, the British considered combining the then three protectorates to reduce the administrative burden on the British and allow the rich South to effectively subsidize the much less economically prosperous north.
Northern Protectorate (Nigeria) had been running on a BUDGET DEFICIT for 10 years. Two Separate Countries Are Created in 1900
PROTECTORATE OF NORTHERN NIGERIA and the PROTECTORATE OF SOUTHERN NIGERIA. The Two countries were governed separately for 14 Years.

We Took The Advice; Yet. . . 🤷‍♀️

1./ When motivational speakers say; “Do things differently if you want a different result.” People cheer them and nod sagely at their excellent advice.

Now that Nigeria is on the brink and PO is running a different campaign;
2./ and his followers are doing things differently, naysayers (some of them popular motivational speakers and proponents of the “do things differently” school of thought are now full of reasons why deviating from the familiar methods is evidence that PO won’t win.
3./ It’s either; “PO is only popular on SM.”

Debunked.

Or “He lacks structures.”

PO followers are now building themselves into structure cells.

Then they ask; “Who’s the LP Senatorial candidate for your zone? Who’s the LP HOR candidate? Who’s the LP LGA candidate?”

The grounded ABJ-KAD Train services should tell the APC and its supporters by now that infrastructure without peace is as useless as the word can mean. Nigeria is losing revenue because there is no peace. Nothing guarantees peace like unity, fairness and Justice.
Those of us in Kaduna are experiencing the biggest infrastructure revolution the state has ever had, yet as you drive on the new roads you are suspicious of every move around you. When you realize you can be taken in a minute, the development you see becomes worthless!
The realization that one kidnap could swallow up an entire family fortune and leave you at the mercy of bank loans and good will of the very diversity the APC is undermining will humble you and make you rethink who the enemy truly is.

A friend MS Ustaz was in that train and is amongst those in captivity. We are currently gathering money to secure his release as a group. Good thing is there are Igbos we do business with who don’t give a F about one #headlessIgbos space to make a contribution.
These guys have head, they understand when what quarrel and living together is. We all do business in the same place and benefit from each other. They’d be making their own contributions 🤷‍♂️.
You can stay here and insult as much as you want. Those of us working in the North for PO aren’t doing it to apologize or assume our quarrels will stop. Humans will always have misunderstandings and find ways to resolve.

Your hate and vitriol won’t bring @Waspapping_’s brother back or keep him in captivity unless that which is destined on him by Allah. Your one Naira won’t add or remove anything from him if you know how hard he works to not depend on any man!
He saw and identifies a problem, like many of us, rather late? Who is keeping time for change of mind?

We have a country to fight for and everyone have a place in that battle ground. If you want to dwell on what is/was said, I’m sure worst have been said by many of you here.
In many cases, Sani have only ever fought back and never the aggressor. He replies and points to a flaw in your faux and one-sided sympathy for victims of carnage while you see his people as just numbers with no value when killed by same aggressors.

Peter Obi is not an Igbo candidate. He is pan Nigerian in outlook & orientation. He believes in a United Nigeria. His support base cuts across the country, majorly among the young & forward-looking citizens, who have been shortchanged by old corrupt politicians over the years. ✅
In fact most of the political class in his South East zone detest him with passion, just like their colleagues all over the country who want the status quo to continue. They want the continued appropriation of our Commonwealth, and fear that he is coming to rock the boat.
Anybody who tells you that Peter Obi is inclined to a certain section of the country is your enemy, & wants to play their old tribal card, which has been very effective over the years, until NOW. The tables have turned. They won't get us with it anymore. We're smarter than that.

Dear OBI di ents.
I salute you all this morning.
Win or loose you are heroes already.
You threw away sentiments, crumbs, stipends, promises whether real or imaginary.
You threw all of these away and decided to pitch your tent with just "COMPETENCE" and mere possibility.
You support a man whose only blemish in the political terrain of Nigeria are mere fabrications and "HE CAN'T WIN" regardless of the fact that he was a two term governor of a state with one of the lowest allocations in Nigeria and still did what none has done previously.
You invest time, energy, resources to push this to happen.
I salute you.
You attach so much emotion to this movement.
I salute you.
Posterity will be kind to you.

How exactly does the kponmo Boys and their atikulated counter parts see you?

Mr Peter Obi a human capacity builder with proven track records, travelled down to Egypt on a three day journey to understudy how Egypt usurped other African countries to be at the front seat of both human and infrastructure development within ten years.
That is a campaign point for both APC and PDP who are now in joint aopposition to Labour Party.
Look at PO's resume and see if you can count on your fingers the number of courses & programs he has undergone in the past decade.
Human Capacity Development.
The opposition have nothing to campaign against Obi.

Mr Peter Obi stands head & shoulders above both Atiku & Tinubu. Even if you join them together.
We understand that in Nigeria politics, the best of them doesn't win elections. That's how the thieving pol elites designed it

So, this has been making the rounds recently and its said to have been published in the Nation Newspaper. As an OBIdient, I have decided to go and verify. The following thread will debunk most of these claims as misleading and comical. /1

Dino fraud channels TV iragbiji Tinubu

and a certain Yinka Folawiyo Power Limited (5%). If you are looking for a power project initiated by a state, it is the Omoku Power project (150 MW) commissioned by Gov Peter Odili of Rivers State in 2006. /3

I just received a tag leading to this!
First: @Deejay_slowburn tell your friends in Lagos that this is not the time give up or lament!
Let them have a meeting I am sure many of us here will sponsor deployment of new PVC registration center for them!/1
#TakeBackNaija Image
2/ they can choose to transfer their voting center out of OJO Local Govt as it’s already a red flag zone!
There are plans already to provide FREE TRANSPORTATION to people who would like to go home or move to another location to cast their vote
3/ your friends should’ve known by now that 2023 election will be .. going by what’s playing out now!
The plan is to run down the morale of every individual so they can rig the election!
Politics has always been a game! Use any formation you can provided you secure a win!

1. OK!! My People, here’s the deal. I deliberately decided not to solicit for funding openly, & for good reason. However, we need to move faster. This GoFundMe is powered by the @TakeBackNaija_ Grassroots Movement. gofundme.com/f/support-for-…
2. So INEC actually accepted to give us Registration Centers in some places (like we’ve been doing), but we are going to take care of moving them from one location to another.
3. This will require mobilizing their staff, & it takes money for the logistics. All the mobilization we’ve made so far, took some funding, including mobilizing volunteers. Our Ebonyi cordinator just left INEC office.

PETER OBI BRUISED MY EGO!
When people say Peter obi has no structure, I tell them I am one of his structures.
Several years ago, as one of the popular evangelist in Africa, I move around at airports with lots of people as my entourage.
#PeterObi4President2023
#ConscienceRally
One day I was traveling back to lagos from Abuja, they had just dropped me at the airport and I was going to board my flight . As I walked through the tarmac with one of the FAAN protocol staffs pulling my hand luggage behind me,
I turned and behold saw someone that looked like governor Peter Obi coming behind and pushing his hand luggage himself.
I turned to the protocol guy and said, that guy looks like governor Peter Obi,He answered and said," yes o na him, e no dey allow anybody help am with him bag”

The desperation of Atiku and Tinubu to be president should be very concerning to every Nigerian.

In 1993, Atiku ran to be president under SDP and lost to Abiola in the primaries. In 1999 he became the Vice President under Obasanjo, by 2003 he had fallen out with his principal
and tried blackmailing OBJ not to run, that didn’t work out.

In 2007, he decamped to ACN from PDP and ran for President, he lost again, he returned to PDP in 2011 and ran for President, lost again to Jonathan in the primaries.

By 2014, he left the PDP again, joined APC,
ran for President and lost in the primaries to Buhari. In 2017, he left the APC and returned to the PDP again and ran for President in 2019 and lost.
Next year is 2023 and he is running for the Presidency again.

30 years, one man and his sheer desperation to be president.

Culled From Peter Obi Speeches

1. I can’t sleep because I know what to do! I have gone round the 36 States of the country like I have gone round 31 countries of the world, I know the problems of Nigeria and I know I can fix them easily! Because I can see them, I can fix them!
2. Hunger takes people to the streets! Job and food will obviously take them out of crimes! That’s my specialty, creating jobs and wealth! I have not come out for myself! I have come out for the millions of youths that are losing hope in our beloved country! I have come out for..
3. the millions of women who are afraid of tomorrow and what it holds for them and their children! I have come out for the poor who are asking weather it’s a sin to be a Nigerian! For them, I have come!
