Lol let them keep packaging a failed frau.d like Obi the way they package fake goods. 😂

They think everyone is gullible like some so called Obidients

Las las dem go beg us to let them go and form their dot nation


Useless people

drlateef:




A drug dealer can never be better than my generation. We have and pride our good name.

Talk of a suffering, frustrated bigot. As long as you never see good in people and continue insulting those who never crossed your way or offended you in any way goodness of God will never ever reach you.

Tochi360:


Why not carry this allegations to the court na propaganda don't count in reality.

It's obvious your propaganda failed massively to hit the hearts of the people from all across the Country, infact You actually created more Obideints and people who seek better for the Country, people who know and accept that Apc is the greatest calamity to befall this Country, People who are not interested in zombieng away common sense to play mere politics that would lead to untold hardship.

Anambra State academic sector can never fail to be in the top 5 most Educated States in Nigeria, Obi met the sector in shambles and left it at first position. Education is the greatest legacy You can leave for a people.

Sharap, stop speaking in your myopic ignorance, Anambra state has always been top 5 in education since the 80’s, you do common entrance, you attend a Federal Government college?

drlateef:




A drug dealer can never be better than my generation. We have and pride our good name.

Good name Indeed, 123yes done tell you truth.

Tochi360:


Hahahaha even more propaganda

Are you not the op. Dem no let your propaganda breath 😂

Buccalcavity2:
That up there is an indictment on PO....but you won't know because your expectation of leaders is like POs.
Leaders build system/institution and not wake up to tell you how much they saved from reading a file or how he saved by following driver to gas station ( as I watched him say) how many files will he read or how many drivers will he see?
What system was implemented to curb corruption or save cost? That's a legacy!
Again, Why will I choose a cost obsessed person over a revenue obsessed person? There's a floor to cost cutting while there's no ceiling to revenue making, if you understand.
If Anambra was safe, why were we all told by ABS during 2007/2011 election season to close offices by 6pm and had to be escorted home by police in Anambra. Why was his commissioner kidnapped and killed just 2months after his tenure. Some of us lived in Anambra during these times....And state loan was not cleared. Check DMO records to clear your misunderstanding.
Election is over. PO lost. Your ability to face reality is a predictor of problem solving potential.

Thank you.

Peter Obi was so bad Nairalanders were comparing him with Theodore Orji that was Abia's worst governor.

One poster said Ngige's 3 month was Peter Obi's 8 years 🤣

JagabanB:

So how did Obi create that society in Anambra?
He even ran to Lagos because he knows he didn't build anything close to that society.
Selling Obi is difficult for u folks, isn't it?

After all his supposed good work, sonature, your Gringory Obi Judas Anambra, still ran away from Apga?

drlateef:




Show me one legacy of Obi that we can see today, just one. Obi has no long term vision and sustainable development plans. All his efforts l, if any, are in the dustbin of history. What about the 250 million laundered by Obi? Why did Obi invest government money in his family business? Is that probity or corruption? Why did Obi keep his state’s money in his bank where he has major shareholding?

You cannot pull wool over our eyes. We know the truth.

Your entire race cannot match PO's records even in 5 lifetimes. You doubt me? Check it out.

**The Nigerian MDGs Office/UNDP Best Governor in the Implementation of the MDGs in Nigeria

INTRODUCTION OF CONSTITUTIONAL AND OTHER MAJOR CHANGES IN NIGERIAN POLITICS

*He was the first gubernatorial candidate in Nigeria to legally challenge to its logical conclusion, his governorship electoral victory that was denied him. He won in the Courts and reclaimed his mandate.

*He was the first Governor in Nigeria to legally challenge his wrongful impeachment and was reinstated by the Courts.

*He was the first Governor in Nigeria to seek the interpretation of tenures of Governors when INEC allowed elections to take place in Anambra State when his tenure had not expired; the election already concluded was cancelled and he was allowed to complete his tenure.

*He was the first Governor to serve a 2nd term in both the new and old Anambra State, that is, almost 40 years after creation of the State.

*He was the first Governor, whilst still in Office, to be appointed a Special Adviser to the President.

*He was the first serving Governor to be appointed into the Presidential Economic Management Team.

*He was among the first Governors to be honoured with a National Award in 2011, while still in office.

*Though the only Governor whose political party was in government in only one State, he was elected Vice-Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum twice.

*Though the only non-PDP Governor in the South-East (made up of 5 States), he was elected by the other 4 PDP Governors as their Chairman for 8 years rather than the usual one year.

FUNDAMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE (PARTIAL LISTING)

1. Anambra was the first State to commence Sub-Sovereign Wealth savings, the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. At a time many other Governors were leaving huge debts, I left the equivalent of $500 million Dollars in investment as well as local and foreign currency, including $156 million in Dollar-denominated bonds.

2. For the first time in the history of Anambra State, Ambassadors and High Commissioners of notable countries such as United Stated, Britain, Russia, European Union, South Africa, Belgium, Israel, the Netherlands, Canada, among others, visited the State. Before my tenure, Anambra was practically a pariah state blacklisted by the Diplomatic Corps and international development partners.

3. Development partners such as UNDP, UNICEF, the World Bank, DFID, the European Union etc., which hitherto were not in Anambra State started working with the State. Anambra was consistently adjudged one of the best states in development partnership and commitment to reforms for good governance.

4. He was recognised as Best Governor by the Millennium Development Goals Office (OSSAP-MDGs) and the UNDP in the implementation of their programmes in Nigeria.

5. The Nigerian Debt Management Office (DMO) rated Anambra as the least indebted state in Nigeria. In spite of visible and measurable achievements recorded in various sectors, the State under him did not borrow or raise bonds for her various projects.

6. The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria rated Anambra State as the most financially stable state in the country.

7. The State's ground-breaking return of schools to their original owners - Voluntary Agencies (Churches) on 1st January 2009, and subsequent partnership with the Agencies in Education, saw the State move from 24th position out of 36 States to Number One in National Examination Council (NECO) and West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations for three consecutive years. This made the World Bank to commission a study, led by the renowned Prof. Paul Collier of Oxford University, on this revolutionary partnership and phenomenal achievement.

8. The State also entered into strategic partnership with the Churches in the Health sector. This symbiotic relationship resulted in a tremendous boost to health care because of the services offered by health institutions owned by Voluntary Agencies, while the State restored grants to the agencies and made available to them more than 50 million Dollars in various types of support.

10. Through partnership with the Church in the Health sector, his Government funded the transformation of -:

a: Iyienu Hospital, Ogidi;
b: Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala;
c: St Charles Borromeo Hospital, Onitsha;
d: Holy Rosary Hospital, Waterside, Onitsha; and
e: St. Joseph Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu.
His Government also built the Joseph Nwilo Heart Centre in St. Joseph, Adazi-Nnukwu, where heart operations are now being performed.

11. His Government won the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (1 Million dollars) as the best-performing state in immunisation in the South-East. With complementary funding from our Government, they used the money to build 10 Maternal and Child Care Centres across the State, particularly in rural communities, in partnership with the Churches.

12. The State was the first to procure and distribute more than 30,000 computers to secondary schools, including 22,500 from HP. The Managing Director for Personal Systems Group HP Inc, Mr. FabriceCampoy described the deployment as the biggest of such projects in the Middle-East and Africa.

13. Anambra State Government provided Microsoft Academies to more than 500 secondary schools, which the Head of Microsoft in Nigeria (Mr. Ken Span) described as the biggest such deployment in Africa so far.

14. The State provided Internet access to more than 500 secondary schools, which the CEO of Galaxy Backbone (Mr. Gerald Ilukwe) characterized as incomparable to any in the country.

15. More than 700 buses were provided to secondary schools in the State by our Government.

16. Boreholes were provided in schools all over the State.

17. Numerous classrooms were built in all the 177 communities of the State.

18 As part of the efforts to turn around the economy of the State, a number of companies were attracted to build their facilities in the Anambra State. A case in point is SABMiller, the 2nd largest brewery in the world, which built their first Green Field facility in the State, which is today one of the most successful facilities they operate globally.

19. A number of other companies followed the SABMiller initiative and were all supported and encouraged under our Government; a good example is INNOSON Motor Manufacturing Company, from which our government bought more than 1,000 vehicles.

20. Anambra State for the first time started close collaboration with recognized government security agencies (the Police, Army, Navy, Department of State Security, Civil Defence, among others), offering them various types of support including provision of more than 500 security vehicles. The improvement in security was phenomenal, such that the former IG of Police (Abubakar Mohammed) lauded Anambra State for not witnessing any bank robbery in my last three years in office.

21. To further enhance security, Anambra State provided at least one security vehicle to each of all the 177 communities in the State as well as various organizations such as markets and Churches.

22. His Administration conceived and built, from scratch, the first state-owned Teaching Hospital, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu teaching Hospital, Awka.

23. His Government commenced the planned development of the Igbariam Campus of the ChukwuemekaOdumegwu-Ojukwu University, including the fencing, construction of internal roads, electrification, construction of the Faculty of Law, Auditorium, Administrative Block, Faculty of Agriculture, Management Building, among others).

24. His Government attracted the World Bank support on erosion - National Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) - to Anambra State.

25. His Government was the first to do Poverty Mapping in Nigeria, as a guide for the effective implementation of our poverty-alleviation strategies.

26 His Government, for the first time, undertook the aerial mapping of Awka as well as the production of Structure Plans for Awka Capital Territory, Onitsha and Nnewi.

27. During his tenure and with his Government's support, Anambra State became an oil producing State.

28. He built the first Secretariat Complex to house State Government Ministries that were hitherto scattered around the State.

29. His government commenced the development of the 'Three Arms Zone' comprising Government House/Governor’s Lodge, Legislative Building/Speakers Residence, and Judiciary Building with Chief Judge’s Residence.

30. By the end of his tenure in 2014, more than twelve (12) health institutions, including two hospitals, had secured accreditation; when we took off in 2006, no health institution in Anambra State was duly accredited.

31. Anambra State was the first to undergo national peer review, which scrutinised State Governments for good governance, through the State Peer Review Mechanism (SPRM), an initiative of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum in collaboration with the DFID.

Come clean with it and I won't have a problem with it, but hiding behind competence is the major reason I dón't like them, Obi is a far çry from competence.

Hope tribe and religion is putting food on your table today.

Show me one legacy of Obi that we can see today, just one. Obi has no long term vision and sustainable development plans. All his efforts l, if any, are in the dustbin of history. What about the 250 million laundered by Obi? Why did Obi invest government money in his family business? Is that probity or corruption? Why did Obi keep his state’s money in his bank where he has major shareholding?

You cannot pull wool over our eyes. We know the truth.

Peter Obi's legacy is all over Anambra State, and it is verifiable.

Though you chose not to see it because of hate, 

Show us Tinubu's legacy when he was Lagos State Governor. I mean, a verifiable legacy, not propaganda.

Remember, Tinubu is the president, and the only legacy he has as of today is that of acute hunger and starvation inflicted on Nigerians and go mark it, That will Tinubu's only legacy when he exit the stage

So education is not a Legacy..?


That’s why you are still asking a dumb question.

If the North was properly educated, do you think they will ever enforce a Buhari on us?


Those guys have probably not seen Dubai in their lives and they don’t know, themselves and the people of Dubai have the same religion.

Here they have used their illiteracy as a political weapon against the south ..

Why do you think they hated Jonathan and Sanusi, because they both wanted Education for the North.


If Anambra became top in education from the bottom , that for me is a massive legacy..

Since education is not a legacy , leave your kids to roam the street …

Your own is Just to open Mouth, waaaaa

human capital development. People from my age got quality education. Up until today, Anambra went from a state known for frequent strike action to being one of the best academically in Nigeria.

I know it wouldn't mean anything to you but I who got the education will forever appreciate him. My education is the bedrock of my success in life

Just one and up till date none of you can point to just one thing your fraudster did for Anambra .

There were more dropouts from all state owned institutions from primary to tertiary when Obi was governor.

First all Anambra state schools including state owned institutions went on strike for over a year demanding that Obi pay them the newly signed minimum wage.

Obi did not even bulge and is on record to have started the "No work, no pay" strategy to force the strike to come to an end.

During the long strike most students either enrolled into private schools or went out of state. Those who couldn't go out of state or afford to enroll into private schools remained at home. Some of those who fell in the latter category drop out of school .

On resumption, Obi hiked school fees by over 400%.

Most in state owned tertiary institutions dropped out.

The situation for those in primary and secondary was no different . Some parents and wards were forced to withdraw their children from school because they could no longer afford it. While some of these kids were shipped to the SW and SS states were education is free.

before Obi, there was frequent strike action by teachers. Personally, I spent a whole year at home during my primary school in public institution. This led to high rate of mistrust in public education and coupled with Anambra culture of "nwa boy". It led to high level of drop outs. People gave up on education and the few went for private education. I attended a private secondary school and before Obi finished his first term, I wished I could change school but I was already writing WAEC. The way he upgraded all the schools and equipped their laboratories made us envious of them. I remember going to the boys high school in my town and asked myself what I was doing in my own school.

Those investments didn't come for free as school fees were increased by over 200% but you could see the reason for the increments. Teachers were sacked and principals replaced. It was painful for the parents but we can see the results now.

You want to deny that teachers and lecturers in Anambra state owned schools did not embark on a 13 month strike under Obi's adminstration ?

What of the medical doctors and nurses that went on an 18 month strike under same Obi ?

You people can only decieve yourselves in that your east.

kindly mention the year teachers went on a thirteen months strike action. This incident happened during mbadinuju administration and I already told you that I spent over a year at home during my primary school.

Talking about doctors who went on strike, that's outside the scope of our discussion. The op asked for his legacy project in Anambra and not his failures. If you want us to discuss the failures, create a thread and I will give you my own thoughts about that also

FUNDAMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE (PARTIAL LISTING)

1. Anambra was the first State to commence Sub-Sovereign Wealth savings, the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. At a time many other Governors were leaving huge debts, I left the equivalent of $500 million Dollars in investment as well as local and foreign currency, including $156 million in Dollar-denominated bonds.

2. For the first time in the history of Anambra State, Ambassadors and High Commissioners of notable countries such as United Stated, Britain, Russia, European Union, South Africa, Belgium, Israel, the Netherlands, Canada, among others, visited the State. Before my tenure, Anambra was practically a pariah state blacklisted by the Diplomatic Corps and international development partners.

6. The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria rated Anambra State as the most financially stable state in the country.

7. The State's ground-breaking return of schools to their original owners - Voluntary Agencies (Churches) on 1st January 2009, and subsequent partnership with the Agencies in Education, saw the State move from 24th position out of 36 States to Number One in National Examination Council (NECO) and West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations for three consecutive years. This made the World Bank to commission a study, led by the renowned Prof. Paul Collier of Oxford University, on this revolutionary partnership and phenomenal achievement.

8. The State also entered into strategic partnership with the Churches in the Health sector. This symbiotic relationship resulted in a tremendous boost to health care because of the services offered by health institutions owned by Voluntary Agencies, while the State restored grants to the agencies and made available to them more than 50 million Dollars in various types of support.

12. The State was the first to procure and distribute more than 30,000 computers to secondary schools, including 22,500 from HP. The Managing Director for Personal Systems Group HP Inc, Mr. FabriceCampoy described the deployment as the biggest of such projects in the Middle-East and Africa.

16. Boreholes were provided in schools all over the State.

17. Numerous classrooms were built in all the 177 communities of the State.

18 As part of the efforts to turn around the economy of the State, a number of companies were attracted to build their facilities in the Anambra State. A case in point is SABMiller, the 2nd largest brewery in the world, which built their first Green Field facility in the State, which is today one of the most successful facilities they operate globally.

19. A number of other companies followed the SABMiller initiative and were all supported and encouraged under our Government; a good example is INNOSON Motor Manufacturing Company, from which our government bought more than 1,000 vehicles.

20. Anambra State for the first time started close collaboration with recognized government security agencies (the Police, Army, Navy, Department of State Security, Civil Defence, among others), offering them various types of support including provision of more than 500 security vehicles. The improvement in security was phenomenal, such that the former IG of Police (Abubakar Mohammed) lauded Anambra State for not witnessing any bank robbery in my last three years in office.

21. To further enhance security, Anambra State provided at least one security vehicle to each of all the 177 communities in the State as well as various organizations such as markets and Churches.

31. Anambra State was the first to undergo national peer review, which scrutinised State Governments for good governance, through the State Peer Review Mechanism (SPRM), an initiative of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum in collaboration with the DFID.

None of those things is better than a good name and corruption-free life. Obi has none of that.

favor914:
After all his supposed good work, sonature, your Gringory Obi Judas Anambra, still ran away from Apga?

Lol.
I don't support Lienus.

DeepThroater:



There were more dropouts from all state owned institutions from primary to tertiary when Obi was governor.

First all Anambra state schools including state owned institutions went on strike for over a year demanding that Obi pay them the newly signed minimum wage.

Obi did not even bulge and is on record to have started the "No work, no pay" strategy to force the strike to come to an end.

During the long strike most students either enrolled into private schools or went out of state. Those who couldn't go out of state or afford to enroll into private schools remained at home. Some of those who fell in the latter category drop out of school .

On resumption, Obi hiked school fees by over 400%.

Most in state owned tertiary institutions dropped out.

The situation for those in primary and secondary was no different . Some parents and wards were forced to withdraw their children from school because they could no longer afford it. While some of these kids were shipped to the SW and SS states were education is free.

When he was asked why he increased school fees, the wicked man said education was not for the poor in Anambra.

Tochi360:
In a recent discussion on Channels TV, Professor Okey Ikechukwu, a distinguished authority in strategic management and human capital development, shed light on how former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, effectively addressed corruption during his tenure. The professor’s insights aimed to challenge the prevalent notion that individuals with good intentions cannot prosper in a corrupt environment.

He said Okey,see how much I have saved today. When He gets a file He will check the unit cost and check the total.
If the unit cost is too high, He would personally contact individuals in the market to verify the accurate unit cost.

https://www.ambajay.com/when-peter-obi-was-governor-by-1am-he-said-okey-see-how-much-ive-saved-today-prof-ikechukwu/.


Regardless of the propaganda, REALITY is the human development index of Anambra under Obi was massive growth, leaving a debt free State,a State which was ranked safest State by IGP BABA and a State in top 3 position of the most Educated States ranking in Nigeria.

Like him,hate him,not an angel but give Him a job and He will do it.

If you will be honest with yourself ALL THESE ACHIEVEMENTS ARE NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT BAT ACHIEVED AS A GOVERNOR cos he did all these and more too..... it's another argument if you wanna compare state size and revenue
