Good question. The thing about integrity is not far fetched. Simple interviews, track records, systems where somebody has been exposed to and stuffs all paint the integrity picture of a man.

Peter has never appointed a thief in governance. He does not reward his friends with appointments because that's where problem start. When a leader say this man gave me 10 bn for election, therefore come and be so so and so for ur compensation, it opens room for such misappropriation.

But when you appoint strictly on merit and having passed the integrity test, it is infallible. Obi has astute personalities that were his class mates in Kent's University London who hold various position oversea that can man critical offices in Nigeria to move this place forward.

However problem is majority of Nigerians just like you are idiots and idiots don't think. They have eyes but do not see, brains but do not think and ears but do not hear. This is why it will be easier for atiku or tinubu to win and finally destroy this place.

Thank you..

People like you are the problem with Nigeria. You will say anything to back your candidate, someone who is a typical politician, crop of people that have been inflicting pain in Nigeria.

Are you ready to go to jail omo his behalf if he fails? My point is calm down and stop supporting anyone blindly. I am voting for Peter Obi because he is a lesser evil amongst the three major candidates but I won’t stake my money on a Nigerian politician.

Nigeria stoof behind buhari in 2015.. that's why he was able defeat a sitting president. Something that rarely ever happen in African continent.
Yet senate still treated buhari's Bleep up despite having majority of his party members in the Senate.

What is obi gonna do differently with Senate majority or minority?

Bribe everyone Senate to pass a simple law or budget or turn to a tyrant?

Buhari misused his popularity... the people were ready to go 100% for him.. but what do you make of a 5% speech from a president with nepotic tendencies, he ruined his moment.

I don't care who you're voting, it is not my business. I am voting Peter obi because he will ur down on corruption using the perspective I stated above. I lived in anambra state throughout his regime and I know him more than u do.

What is the nonsense u wrote about me being the problem of nogeria and in what way have Peter obi inflicted pain on you as an individual?

This goes to show Obi is not politically astute and a misfit to head a politically complex Nigeria. Let's put things in perspective.

Buhari could not get much done in first term even with APC majority in NASS. Why? Because the leadership of NASS were not on his side.

What makes Obi think a president can work with success in Nigeria when the legislative is opposed to him? Obi thinks of politics at the understanding level of a juvenile.

Obi was impeached in Anambra because his legislature opposed him.

If he wins he wants to preside in the midst pf opposition legislature. Has he lost his mind? grin

Peter Obi is a joker
So you believe this stupid lie.
Ok can you tell us what he has done better in his second term?

Fighting corruption is easy. If you the principal person is not stealing, your wife and children are not stealing, those around you are not stealing, then you have reduced corruption by 70 per cent

The first step in battling corruption is by strengthing institutions, make them functional and independent.... The Nigeria police institution and Judiciary need to be overhualed first before any significant change can come

Obi remains the best governor of anamra state till date. Whoever that have lived in the state from state creation till now can attest to it.

Nigeria is just a bigger picture of a State. But he is telling you that he has the strategy. That he has done it before, and I could do it again. This is what the employer will refer to as a working experience in your CV. I doubt whether you have worked in a corporate environment before.

Web2020:
Which answer are you looking for? Ooh, because he doesn't tell lies like the regular politician.

Let's check out what Obi has said.

1. He governs Anambra without his party having a single member in the house of assembly, and he was not impeached. True or false? How was it possible because he did the right thing

2. He said you can not choose to be fighting corruption when the people around you are heavily corrupt and you are chasing opposition with Efcc. Is that correct or wrong

3. He said he had done it before as governor and could do it again.

So, why do you say he did not answer correctly? I understand your pain though
go and find out what happens between him and his house of assembly members. Also don't forget that obi is a supreme court governor.
1)Anambra state has not up to 30 house of assembly members. Nigeria have almost 500 national assembly members.
2) can you swear to your life that obi and all his cabinet members didn't steal a kobo when he was governor?
3)it sounds stupid when a Nigerian president said non of his appointees will steal.
4) let me remind you that corruption is not about stealing money alone.
5)Nigeria no be Anambra.
6) I remember when obi was asked how he will fight insecurity, he said security is a secret that he doesn't want to expose his method.
Infact, from that time I knew OBI has nothing to offer.

Before obi came on board, there were industrial actions in all governments sectors and worst with education. Pensions were not paid, salaries not paid, and there were security challenges too. Obi resolved all of these and paid a one time chunk of over 30bn naira in pension backlog, accumulated by governors before him, and he left governance without owing anybody any dime. because of this legacy, anambra is not among the states owing salaries. I can go on and on .

Different parties, same idelogies.

Its obvious Nigeria is heading for an impending doom, irrespective of who wins.
Visa where art thou
It is actually a brilliant way of fighting corruption. How do you fight corruption when you are your allies are thieves? He who must come to equity must come with clean hands.


The reason why others have failed is because a thief cannot fight another thief on issue of stealing..it makes no sense.



Corruption must be fought from top to bottom not what Buhari did by claiming to fight it from bottom to top.


Go through history and even this present administration, those who have been caught or accused are either friends of the president or appointees of the president.

Now tell me, what is wrong with PO's approach since it's obvious it's actually those at the top that do most of the damage?

Ha.
It is not a matter of majority, the LP has no representation in the House.

In a working democracy (and the emphasis is WORKING), you will not be able to pass the kind of legislation that will make a difference and drive the kind of reforms I know you desire.

One of three things will have to happen for you to govern 'successfully', none of which are desirable.

You either go over their heads like an autocrat, ruling by executive orders and intimidating the Legislature....

rule by compromise, bribery and other inducements (like in the OBJ era)....

or simply hope that a gale of defection hits the established parties with the consequence of watering down your ideologies and losing control of your party down the line, i.e after a few years we begin to hear the normal, 'there is no difference between the...'

There are no easy answers and it is a classic case of the Devil's Alternative. There is simply no easy way to transform Nigeria without Nigerians ready and able to make the sacrifice ls to.

Just look at the two simple questions that he was asked, but he failed to answer.
Obi have nothing to offer.
Anytime they ask him a question he will say I have done it in Anambra.
Nigeria no be Anambra!!!
Anambra has less than ten million people while Nigeria is more than 200 million in population.
Anambra has basically one tribe and culture while Nigeria is made up of different tribes and different cultures.

The problem with buhari is, he was tainted as clannish and nepotic, he proved the naysayers right even before he started work.. those whom were supposed to defend his policies became defensive... nepotic square pegs in round holes filled with the presidents inner circle, you don't expect the others not to go full opposition while reading between the lines of his every actions..

Buhari wanted to stop amnesty, but Buhari was proposing to grant amnesty to Bokoharam while the Ogoni cleanup was just a charade.. thats a red flag to anyone... if the clean up was done, while other amenities and infrastructures provided showing good transparency of money channels, the people would fight the militants as their aim is defeated already...
Buhari asking for amnesty for Boko Haram was way after his failed attempt at stopping Niger Delta's. Those boys will never let it end. So how does Peter Obi want to do it?

That's why I'm saying since Buhari couldn't do it, no one will be able to. Peter Obi shouldn't toll that part if not Nigeria will get too hot from him.
The only way to stop them is if your military is enough to protect every inch of the country.
