Our people dont know what true leadership is,i tell u, growing and being raised by white men, growing up in a decent family as a first son has taught me a lot about leadership,if am given any post as a leader , I see it as a task,its suffering ,its no leisure ,i told someone if i ever attain any political position which i don't care to cos I hate attention, I would not receive salary ,i rather prefer donations from anonymous people with out seeking for favour to serve ,one naira will not even go to my pocket ,its a delicate position ,can our leaders who have the guts to attain this level ever be selfless,answer is No,the real leaders ain't even contesting,they re working hard to make their homes better

Even if he recognizes me or not, that doesn't matter. I'm comfortable. All i need is good governance. And Mr peter obi is the best candidate, his all we need to make Nigeria a better nation, nothing is affordable any more. I am not even concerned about the high cost, but the sudden growth in criminal activity and robbery, which is eventually as a result of poverty.

You are setting the HIGHEST benchmark for this man when we are governed by literal, actual, criminals?

From my knowledge of politics, full manifesto's come AFTER candidates have secured the tickets which Peter Obi only did a matter of HOURS ago. Please do not try to use these epistle's to bully people. You are well informed but you clearly don't know all and you have not watched all of Peter Obi's speeches. He has said over and over again how we can take the Bangladeshi and vietnamese models of exporting clothes! We have the skillset and women are always the biggest beneficiaries! Both of those countries earn more exporting clothes than we do oil!




Thank you at least you are able to articulate something unlike the other brain dead supporter. Like I have said, I am not a youth, we have heard this over and over again, I am old enough to have heard all this since 1979, there is nothing new under the sun....they always fail, what i want to know is not what you want to do but how and how do you intend to make sure you dont fail. The how is the critical thing in all of this. All these things sound good on paper but there is a reason they never happen. When babangida devalued the naira in 1985, it was to spur an export led economy, the export boom never happened, factories closed down and the naira went down with it. Because to export you have to solve complex issues of electricity, govt bureaucracy, transport, security, port efficiencies corruption, forex to import raw materials and machinery that are even worse now and more entrenched than they were in the babangida era. So while i agree with you that in depth manifestos will truly start to circulate after primaries, the truth is anyone who hasnt got 1) an ambitious say $500b 10 year plan for key sectors who can say this is how many Km or roads or track i will deliver, this is my GDp target, this is my plan for security, this is how many police I will employ, etc etc and articulate how he will finance it. and 2) a clear plan to acheive certain revenue to GDP targets and 3) a plan of true fiscal restructuring, is going to fail....i dont need a crystal ball!!!


Like i said there is nothing new in what he is saying, People smarter than him, seasoned economists, industrialists and technocrats etc abound they are just not in the public space, there is nothing he is saying that is new, maybe to a generation used to mediocrity. But there were brilliant Nigerians who came up with our 1st,2nd and 3rd national development plans for example. What Nigeria needs is a plan and an ambitious one anything else is just noise and unfortunately he hasnt got a past record either in business or in government to suggest he can deliver, so until he can show be his plan, his targets, the metric for measuring success, timelines, potential obstacles and how he intends to overcome and most inportantly funding, this man has been around too long to be fooled.


it takes a lot to export, same aas you cant have agric or toutism without security and transport and you cant spend 4 years to build a 100km road or rail and expect agric or tourism or exports to take off, it aint gonna happen. The world is not going to wait for your late export orders because your supplies are late because of Nigerian factor, your foreign customers will find alternatives.

Finally you cannot run the country if you dont control parliament, so even if he wins under labour, how many labour party senators and reps does he have on his side? he wont get his way just like his period in Anambra with a PDp house, he will be lucky if he isnt impeached. So though i wait for his manifesto AFAIAC even if he has a convincing manifesto, he will fail because you need votes to approve your plans and budget.

In fact the more I think about it, even without seeing his manifesto the more I know he will be a disappointment and it is probably in his interest not to win and be seen as a hero by his supporters. Anyone who was around in 1983 knows what happened when Buhari was in power and I said it in 2015 that yes Buhari is a good anti corruption leader but he is clueless on the economy. Moreover, the circumstances have changed, it is hard to fight corruption as a civilian especially when you rode to power on the backs of corruption...I have been proven right!!! In the end he neither fought corruption, though it is better nor saved the economy. A similar fate awaits obi in the event that he wins, he will be held hostage by a corrupt parliarment who will either frustrate his plans and compromise him with sleaze because he shouldnt kid himself that he has the stature to end sleaze in Abuja in which case he him becomes compromised or he loses the reputation for cutting waste. Nigerian politics has a habit of compromising "clean" people, thats why the truly clean stay away and people with 1 eye start parading themselves as messiahs. If he wins irrespective of his plan, He will either get compromised, fail or be impeached!!

He Governed Anambra for 8 years as an APGA governor with a PDP house at the end he had nothing to show, a lower IGR than his predecessor left him 8 years before. He is either a failure or doesnt know how to get things done with an opposition house. Guess what?..... if he wins he will face the same scenario at the federal level bright ideas or no bright ideas!!!

People fighting over politics have little or no sense. There is a wide gap between those who are in political power and the common masses. Many of you that are raining insults or talking gibberish, those aspiring for the post of presidency or whatever office don't even know you. Just be wise and make your life better, Nigeria no send anybody. grin

You are talking about a man who was governor of Anambra for 8 years under APGA when it was a PDP parliament. He did it successfully the. And he will do it now.

We do not need lofty 30 year plans. Our situation is dire. We spend almost 100% of revenues servicing debts and interest rates are rising globally. We need fiscal responsibility and we need to tighten our belts. Nigerians will have to suffer to fix this issue. Nigerians will not accept that suffering from criminals who are so obviously sharing the milk and honey of Nigeria in front of our eyes. I believe he is someone that can sell that message, he can create the political will to challenge and actually take down some of the vested interests in the country. Or we can take a chance with 76 year old Atiku or Buhari’s handpicked successor. Your vote, your choice

I didnt ask for 30 year plans i mentioned a 10 year plan, with milestones along the way to know we are on course by the end of his 1st term. Excuse me maybe you missed my last edited paragragh but after 8 years in power the IGR of Anambra was lower than what it was when he got into office. What exactly is his legacy in Anambra, what is his signature infrastructure that the people of namnra still enjoy today. I acknowledge he improved the education rating of Anambra which is good...what else? i ask genuinely because I have not heard or read anywhere of signature infrastructure during his tenure.

Anambra is not Abuja but seriously how do you run a state for 8 (eight) years and you leave with IGR lower than when you entered office (think about that o, ive never heard that before,,, eight years) and the small you have instead of investing in frastructure you "saved" for your successor to steal, at least Obiano upon all the empty treasury built airport. what did Obi do?

He said he has no candidate. For him, it is either a perfect person comes on board or no election.
