Look here, I don't hate Obiano. I am just stating the facts. Peter Obi is the reason why Obiano had so much money to play around with and everybody is thinking he is a miracle-worker, nwanne you and I know that is the truth. As for my state, OVI would have done even more better than Obiano if he had that kind of money left for him by his predecessor. But even with that, Abia is getting better, and you know it.

Which Abia is getting better? You people should just start telling yourselves the truth if you want things to really change.

Tell them bro.....I just wanted to ask the obi and obiano e-wArriors one question... 'is it not possible to like both obi and Obiiano at the same time?'
Olaposiwaju:


You don't need to tear down Peter Obi's achievements in order to praise Obiano. The important thing is that Anambra is moving forward at a very fast rate. You cannot condemn the substructure (foundation) of a building only to start saying the superstructure is excellent. Did you watch or listen to the speech at all? He mentioned four key areas of his administrations achievements, savings through cutting of cost, education, MDGs and creating access (road). He also came with a lot of facts and figures making it easy to verify or debunk. While he is not a perfect human being like you and I, if what he said is true, then my respect and regard for him sky rocketed after watching the speech. Lets not loose the objective of it all, cost of governance was and he reduced it, not diverting the money but saving it for another who you do not know what he intends to use the money for.

Lastly, I lived in Akwa Ibom for 5 years and the best part of my trip through the south east was always when we journeyed through Anambra because of the good roads (and this was mostly during Peter Obi's tenure). Once we leave Anambra, na full body massage till I reach Akwa Ibom.

Talk is cheap, peter obi performed woefully as governor, Governors like Akpabio, Chime and even obiano who were spendthrifts according to obi performed or are performing far better than him.. Obi should spare us his sermons after enriching himself with Anambra money and building houses and malls all over Nigeria

Obiano is profligate and a debauchee.

if the south south had brought som1 like duke instead of GEJ there is no way buhari would have been president today
You think so? Lol. But you should know that not all Nigerians think the way you do. But we agree on one thing though. Donald Duke is a very refined man fit to be President and ha has his track records too. There are some others too and right now if I have to make a pick between him and Peter, I think I'll go with Peter because Peter is a more dogged(Check his legal battles, the way he was able to prevent the proposed destruction of the Onitsha drug market by the Yar'adua administration etc), his people call him 'Okwute' (stone), more exposed (arguably), has been able to manage quite a difficult state and performed quite well. He also has a comparatively strong natural support base among the Igbo Elite and masses alike. To cap it up, it'll adequately satisfy the issue of the "Igbo Presidency" among our eastern country men. If at all we should have an Igbo President, he must be tested and trusted.

I keep on saying it sir, your an Economic Guru, I was a witness to it all, I witnessed how you abandoned the official government SUV and use your private 406 as official cars, I Remembered that you did not Harass us with your security as anyone could walk in and out of government house, I witnessed how you reduce your entourage to few cars that one can't even know that a governor is passing. Your the most hated governor by civil servants and politicians in Anambra history because you hate spending money anyhow, they called you Aka gum(gummy hand) because you refused to spend unwisely.

I remembered how they jubilated that you have been impeach so that the wastage will return but, the court brought you back to continue the good work you have been doing.

Your a blessing to Ndi Anambra and God will bless your family in return.

I was a witness to all I have said, I was staying at government house as a student so I know the man Obi and his way of life very simple and hate wastage, when her daughter got admission and the wife bought her a car, Mr. Obi confiscated the car and told her that she could only drive when she is working and the car must come from her pocket.

Whatever good he may seem to paint his face in the public, let him, St. Peter Obi allow peace to reign in Anambra Central Senatorial Zone. He is the major reason why we don't have a senator now. Three months after he left office under APGA, he started campaigning against the party that made him relevant in the corridors of power in favour of the PDP, meanwhile, he told us not to have anything to do with the PDP when he was the governor under APGA. How can we trust such a man?
We Ndi Anambra Central are saying "NO" to a man helped to build a house, made use of the house, left in peace and swore that the same house should be destroyed and that nobody else can be comfortable in the same house.

Burt GEJ left over 35billion dollars for buhari naa.
Even OBJ confirmed it
you are looking at that amount has a big one, when china has 500 billion dollar has reserve. Obj and Yaradua in between them left 65 billion dollars and this happen when oil was selling around 70 dollar per barrel. With his time when oil went so high, he could have increase it to over 100 billion dollars. Pmb can not spend the 35 billion dollars anyhow knowing fully dat oil price has droped so low globally to around 40 dollar per barrel now and if he does dat in nearest moment Nigeria will be so broke dat we can even pay salary in all the three tier of government cos oil majorly account for our revenue generation. That is why the president is making all effort to diversifying the economy. Its could have been easy for Gej to do then when oil was selling so high as 140 dollars per barrel and all his budget benchmark was not more than 80 dollar per barrel. Take a look at UAE now cos the leaders knew dat there will be a time like dis and so they diversified their economy to commerce and tourism. They don't even feel the impact of oli drop know cos they make very huge money from this sectors. our area of strenght lies on agriculture and solid minerals, and that is why the government is doing all he can to achieve it and it does comes easy. 20 yrs ago, how many people visit dubia, even when they are oil rich region.

If not for this great man, Obiano would have been owing salaries like other governors. 75-billion is not a small money. I hope Obiano has not squandered the money. He should be kissing Obi's arse and thanking him.
Don't worry Obiano is not a homosexual. We know Peter Obi favourite part of his rumpus with his gay friends is his arse being kissed and fingered but Obiano is a decent family man with well endowed wife at his beck and call.
