Lol, hired?
Kill myself over Okwute?

Like I said, you know nothing about what he did.
[s]Get facts straight before you start bashing.
He surpassed any governor before him, Willie won't come close to what he did. [/s]

The bold is how you peter obi sycophants evade questions asking for any tangible thing obi did in 8 years. I guess the only people that know anything about what obi did are sycophants like you. Look development cannot be hidden. It is very visible to the eyes. Tell us what obi did. Obiano has even surpassed his '2 tenure achievements' in 6 months in case you dont know

WHO BELIEVES THE LIE
THAT THERE ARE MORE
PEOPLE IN THE NORTH
THAN IN THE SOUTH?
Posted by: admin October 2, 2014

BY FEMI ARIBISALA
Everything turns upside down in Nigeria.
Logic becomes illogical. Wisdom
becomes foolishness. Two plus two
becomes seven. Hospitals become
mortuaries. Stealing is not corruption.
Education is a sin. In Nigeria, so many
things fly in the face of simple
commonsense.
One major example is the ridiculous idea
that, by some inexplicable freak of
nature, more people live in the arid less-
developed Northern part of Nigeria than
in the wet, coastal, more-developed
South.
Insult to intelligence
The larger population of the North is an
elephant in the Nigerian living-room.
According to the last disputed census of
2006, there are 75 million Nigerians
living in the North and 65 million in the
South. This is balderdash! As long as
we continue to accept such blatant lie,
there can be no true democracy in
Nigeria. Electoral results must continue
to be falsified to conform to it. As long
as we continue to entertain such outright
falsehood, we shall continue to be
subjected to a “born to rule” mentality on
the part of some mischievous Northern
politicians.
The assertion that there are more people
in the North than in the South is an
insult to intelligence and commonsense.
All over West Africa, the coastal states
are more densely and highly populated
than the arid desert hinterlands. Nobody
has been able to come up with a
reasonable reason why Nigeria would be
the only exception to this rule. Most of
the people in Egypt live on a strip along
the Nile River. But in Nigeria, we are
meant to believe most of the people live
in the desert.
Some make the case that Northern
polygamy leads to more births. If so,
why are there only 30 million people in
Saudi Arabia, a country more than twice
the size of Nigeria? The Saudis are also
polygamous. If there are so many more
live-births in the North than in the South,
this should be reflected in children
immunization programs: but it is not.
Everything we know about demographics
contradicts the inflated population of the
North relative to the South. The
economic opportunities in the South far
outweigh those in the North. That
means economic migration is bound to
be southward and not northward. The
states with the highest internally
generated revenues all come from the
South; while eight of the last ten are
from the North. No Northern state
features in the top ten.
Mythical Kano
The North regularly trots up Kano as the
largest state of the federation, but there
is no doubt that this is also pure fiction.
There is no way that there can be more
people in Kano State than in Lagos State
or even Oyo State. Let me be even more
categorical. Kano cannot be as
populous as Ibadan. Kano cannot even
have half the population of Lagos.
We were told Kano State was bigger in
population than Lagos State. Then
Jigawa State was carved out of Kano in
1991. But lo and behold, the remaining
rump of Kano was still bigger than
Lagos. In 1991, we were told there were
5.8 million people in Kano State, while
5.7 million were in Lagos. In 2006, Kano
was awarded a population of 9.4 million;
more than Lagos which was given 9.1
million.
In the meantime, Jigawa was awarded
4.3 million people in 2006. If this were
to be believed, it would mean Kano
(including Jigawa) had outpaced Lagos
by more than four million people by
2006. That is impossible. Moreover,
Kano was awarded 44 local government
areas; Jigawa 27 and Lagos only 20.
Why any right-thinking person would
believe Kano State has more people than
Lagos State is beyond me. For years,
the total amount of internally generated
revenue in Kano was less than 6 billion
naira a year. In the last year or so, it is
now averaging 20 billion. But get this:
the internally generated revenue in Lagos
is 219 billion naira. So why would
people be moving to Kano instead of
Lagos? Where are the jobs in Kano to
attract them relative to Lagos?
Why would more people keep moving to
Kano where there is insurgency; from
Maitasine to Boko Haram, relative to
Lagos where there is none? The answer
is simple. The large population of Kano
relative to Lagos is bogus. It is pure
fiction! If there were more people in
Kano than in Lagos, it would show up,
for example, in waste-generation. How
much waste does Kano produce relative
to Lagos? The answer is only a fraction.
How many houses and physical
structures are there in Kano relative to
Lagos? There is no comparison. Google
satellite maps show a concentration of
people and houses in Kano city centre.
Everywhere else is sparsely populated.
This is not the case with Lagos. It is
not the case with Ibadan. It is not the
case with Aba. If there are so many
people up North, where are the people?
Where do they live? Which vehicles take
them from A to B? How many of these
vehicles are in Kano relative to Lagos?
Only a fraction!
Magical Zamfara
Precisely because we have accepted the
lie of Northern population supremacy
over the South, Attahiru Jega and his
INEC cohorts decided to sneak further
falsehood past us. Having discovered far
more double-registration of voters in the
North than in the South, INEC still went
ahead to create additional polling units,
allocating a disproportionate number of
these to the North. However, the very
audacity of INEC in the attempted
perpetration of this fraud has brought to
light certain anomalies in the 2011
elections, especially as it relates to the
North-West.
INEC’s recent cleanup exercise of the
voters register is a big indictment of the
North. INEC discovered that there are
far more double-registration of voters in
the North than in the South. The
greatest fraud in this regard is
committed in the North-West, and the
most fraudulent state in the country
turns out to be Zamfara.
Sokoto and Zamfara states border the
Republic of Niger. Niger Republic is 19
times bigger than Sokoto and Zamfara
put together in land area. And yet, we
are meant to believe that in 2006, Sokoto
and Zamfara had a combined total
population of 6.9 million; more than half
of Niger Republic’s population of 12.9
million.
Zamfara’s fictitious population in the
2006 census was 3.2 million.
Nevertheless, INEC registered 2 million
voters for Zamfara for the 2011
elections. That means 62.5% of the
people in Zamfara registered to vote.
(This is roughly equal to the 64% of
people who registered to vote in the
2012 elections in the United States; a
country of far higher voter-awareness
and socialisation). This is fraud of the
highest order for the simple reason that
62.5% of the population of Zamfara
cannot be eligible to vote.
The voting age in Nigeria is 18 years.
According to U.N. demographics, 44% of
Nigerians are below the age of 15. This
means under no circumstances can 50%
of the population anywhere in Nigeria be
said to have registered to vote in any
election. It is not surprising therefore
that although INEC registered 2 million
voters for the 2011 elections in Zamfara,
the same INEC discovered in its clean-up
exercise this year that 1.1 million of
those voters (over 50%) were fraudulent;
the result of double registration.
Voodoo results
That means only 914,886 of the names
on the Zamfara register could be verified
as not pertaining to double registration.
(This does not tell us how many of the
remaining names are fictitious). But
then get this: according to INEC records,
927,219 people voted in Zamfara in the
2011 presidential election; mostly for
Buhari. That means more votes were
cast in Zamfara than the total number of
legitimately-registered voters, according
to the revelation of INEC’s clean-up
exercise.
Let us put this in stark terms. It means,
according to INEC, over 100% of the
Zamfara electorate voted in 2011. What
malarkey! By the time we factor in the
fictitious names that must have been in
the register, we can see that the figures
coming out of Zamfara have nothing
whatsoever to do with reality. In
Zamfara, there is procedural inflation of
figures pertaining to population and
elections.
This gives us an idea of how fraudulent
the North-West of Nigeria is with regard
to population and electoral figures. This
is not to say that manipulation and
falsification of figures is not standard
operational procedure in other states of
the federation, but INEC revealed that it
is most exaggerated in the North in
general and in the North-West in
particular.
It is not surprising therefore that, in the
2011 presidential election, there were
10.6 million “voters” from the North-
West alone; twice the number of voters
from either the South-West (4.6 million)
or the South-East (5 million). This is
preposterous, and is nothing but one big
lie!
Back to Jega
It is on this fictitious super-structure of
a larger population in the North relative
to the South that Jega’s INEC based its
outrageous allocation of 21,000
additional polling booths to the North,
relative to 8,000 to the South.
In defense of this regional-chauvinism,
Hakeem Baba-Ahmad added insult to
injury by saying: “Jega admitted that
many states in the south did not even
deserve the number of units they got, but
for the inclusion of the principle of
fairness and equity. In other words, if
INEC had been strict in sharing out the
units in accordance with voting
population and geography, the north
would have received even more.” What
poppycock!
In what appears to be the triumph of
commonsense and logic, the Senate has
advised Jega to suspend the allocation
of new polling units until after the 2015
general elections. That should be the
end of the matter. People who don’t
understand how the Nigerian political
system works feel Jega can ignore this
advice. He cannot! The legislative
branch of the government has oversight
powers over the executive branch. Such
a directive from the legislature to an arm
of the government is not subject to
debate. It must be obeyed otherwise
Jega will be sanctioned.

Are you nuts? They are not on the same intellectual plain. We were reliably informed that Peter was a dull brain from CKC to UNN, it was the same story. The moment Obiano came in he showed that natural intelligence in managing the State, he knows what to do at every turn unlike Peter who go about donating money.
Forget ANIDS, minus roads which I dare say are substandard Peter did very little, and he's always quick to say he was busy planning for 6 years and saving money in 'Fidelity' bank. Now where is the money he saved? Obiano being a grateful being does not want to expose Okwute

You are a big fool and everybody can see that.
If there is anything to say about Obi it is to admit that he is one of the best brains Nigeria ever produced. Obi started the massive infrastructural revolution that is sweeping across Anambra up till today. Do not come here and try to smear the man's name because curse will descend on you and your family.

If Obi didn't perform would you have Obiano as his replacement? I am sure you voted for Ngige to replace Obi. Ndi anya ufu.

Eheen. Nnam Igbokwe, I for say whether APC has changed the man I used to respect a lot.

When I was angling for Akpokuo Dike Agulari, i knew what I was doing

But you have shown a big heart by recognizing his achievements irrespective of party differences.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
It takes two to be great- the great manhimself and he who is able to see greatness and recognize it.

How come someone who didn't perform became the first man ever to govern Anambra for two consecutive tenures of four years and ended up with the kind of sendoff he got (another first by a departing incumbent) that physically attracted the likes of Dangote and Okonjo-Iweala who showered him with plaudits like a confetti? Make una dey there dey hate while Obi continues to quietly grow from strength to strength.

FreeGlobe:
These hired Peter obi minions everywhere. if I ask you now to state in clear terms what obi did in 8 years, you will start beating about the bush with the familiar Peter obi propaganda. Obiano has not flagged off any new project? How about the 2 flyovers in Awka? ogbunike cave, roads etc?

It's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a blinkered man to see the monumental achievements of Obi in 8 years of a stable rule in Anambra during which kidnappers both big and small and all those who had all along tried to make the state ungovernable because they lost out of the state's federal allocations that they thought were their birthrights were kept quiet. Secondly, I am sure you are unaware that Anambra public schools are now probably the best in Nigeria since Obi launched his educational revolution; so much so that the state has now topped WAEC's SSCExam's performance two years in row and with every sign that it will continue in the foreseeable future if his successor will be ready to improve on it. I don't even want to talk about the roads that now connect every town and village in the state and make a trip home for all Anambrarians such a pleasant driving experience. Or about the hospitals and healthcare centres in all communities in Anambra. Or about the end of insecurity evidenced in the dismantling of Bakassi Boys and the total onslaught against the properties of kidnap kingpins. You still wanna hear more?

Bros, why do you keep wasting your time in beer parlours where you source for news and information heavily coloured and diluted by the quantity of "palmy" and cheap beer the informant has already consumed? You say you were reliably informed, abi? Did they also reliably inform you that CKC Onitsha in the 70s was a top school famous for its educational standards and you didn't pass into it with beer parlour-type brains. Ditto for UNN in the late 70s and early to middle 80s. By the way, how come Obi "the dullard" was so dull he managed to be the boss of Obiano at Fidelity bank for several years before he also became the boss that helped him to power. So much for your reliable information and "dull brain."

NwaNimo1: I smell a fish . . . . .(Ngige)

It's obvious that they are paving a smooth path for Ngige who is expected to be rendered jobless in the next election. I bet that Obiano is not such a fool.

Of a truth, the man(Obiano) is working. When the right person is in position, everybody, irrespective of party affiliation rallies round him.
#One Advice for Obiano# Don't lose the people's favour and goodwill already poured out on you, learn from the mistakes of your predecessor.

As much i agree he is tryn in curbing crime in Anambra, i think he shd be careful with Church politics in Anambra.

He has already started this catholic- governor- style of his predicessors and he wd soon be fightn church wars than crime war.

Let's hope and pray there is more development for the state.

@seun, Seun. please reply to this https://www.nairaland.com/1931729/seun-maclatunji-mukina-kindly-explain

@DonDiego when will you hired elements spare us of your propaganda. Fyi kidnapping was at an all time high in Anambra during Obi's tenure and obi didn't continue Anambra's excellence in Waec, it has always been there before him and will continue after him. check the records. lets not talk about substandard roads which are being reawarded currently.
It doesn't have to take a Carmel to pass through the eyes of a needle for everyone to see visible developments. We are tired of these your beating about the bush when you could just mention tangible projects and reforms completed by obi in 8 years. Obviously you have nothing worthwhile to say. It is a confirmation that obi wasted 8 years.

Supported. Peter Obi laid a very good foundation and practically made it impossible for a non-performing governor to hide. He should be acknowledged as well.
and to the fellow that hate Peter Obi, I dont know your history with him, but my observations are based on facts, and as nwa otu; have never seen the man in person sef. Be properly guided.

Hmmm...rather strange..never knew the foks at the APC had this trait...could be for providence sake...the slip about their future (strategy) to challenge subsequent elections all the way up to the Ecowas Community Court using the Anambra state gubernatorial elections?...It is remniscent of Chief .V. Ogbulafor's slip on PDP ruling Naija for 60 years........Well then we're in for dire straights under these APC chaps....I take back my earlier intended applause

fashola and obiano best governors

You are doing better than most governors across the country and if you continue that way , Anambra State would soon be better than Lagos. Well done!”.

Why dont you start by giving us Anambra schools performance at the Waec before Obi came in
Obi renovated 90% of Anambra schools and equipped them to the brim.
Obi did an overhaul of most Anambra hospitals and built nursing schools across the state.
Obi built the first and magnificent Anambra teaching hospital and saw to its accreditation.
Obi made sure you can travel to any Anambra town by road.
Obi started the industrial revolution that Obiano is taking advantage of.
Obi started the 17 water scheme across Anambra that Obiano is continuing with.
Obi is a god in Anambra!
Obi made sure Obiano was accepted and elected as governor.

I was waiting for this your reply. He is as smart as Chief IK Anajemba (RIP)
Now let me add that that intelligence was lacking in many of his actions especially in his priority and scale of importance attached to the development of Anambra. Do you know what somebody of Obiano's intellectual capacity could do in 8 years with the way he thinks and acts? Have you seen him walking up and down donating state Government's money to private establishments. No, he knows what to do with money and knows the business of governance
Today individuals are donating to the government in solidarity.
