If these are true then he must be very frugal. However am baffled, why did he support a rather wasteful Jonathan Goodluck that laid the foundation for the current recession?
I know he is a learned fellow, versed in financial matters, while on earth did he decide to support GEJ considering his wastefulness.
One thing I've come to learn about educated elites is their penchant to become honorary advisers when they leave government. I thought Okonjo Iweala would for instance come out to explain to Nigerians how she presided over an economy that received so much oil income that toward the end was already borrowing to finance salary of workers.
You see why Nigeria baffles me!!!


You also forgot that Okonjo Iweala creates Excess Crude Account and started saving the surplus but the Governors headed by Amaechi as the chairman of Governors forum took the Federal Government to the supereme court (because they needed more money to loot)contending that the Federal Government lack the power to save "their" money and because the constitution said "share" not "save" they(Governors) won.APC(Amaechi inclusive) could confidently tell or blame the past administration for not saving for the rainy day because they know that people like you are in the majority.

Nigeria is in a big mess judging from comments in this thread. It goes to show you that People are ready for this country not to move an inch forward so far as regions outside theirs are not progressing.Then it begs the question of why should we remain as a country if we are envious of others.instead of challenging our leaders to be up and doing to surpass others,we are showing hatred.
A man laid a platform, showed how we can save,develop and come out of recession.He showed how he ran his govt, saved costs and people are asking stupid questions of Why he supported Jonathan,didn't build Federal roads.Is he an Adviser to any governor/federal Govt.Instead of borrowing a leaf from his booklet so that we can challenge our various govts,many people are here spewing thrash.There's nothing you would do People wouldn't complain.Be it good or bad

Is it I or the Nigerian youths with a problem? In another sane part of the world, this video would have instigated anger, irritation, and sober reflection, rather the appalling revelations made by Mr. Obi was met with cheers and reactions typical of a comedy show.

Nothing is wrong with borrowing but the use to which funds are put! America is the most indebted nation in the world and the most advanced! The propaganda about our income under GeJ and waste is lame!
how is it propaganda? is it not a fact that oil sold for above $100 or that oil production was at an all time high during gej's administration? stop being economical with the truth.

He was better right. Thank God Nigerians saw a crooked, corrupt and incompetent stealing is not corruption looter who kept our Treasury opened for his looting gang to loot and share and promptly kicked him out of office..


please spare me your rhetorics. What use I'd a leader that claims not to loot, isn't transparent, plunged ud into recession. We've been generating billions since may last year, not a singlevroad commenced, may we ask what has been done with these funds asides paying salaries. Lest I forget was borrowed funds. I can't shout but if by now there are people like u that don't know buharis useless policies plunged us into recession then enjoy your change. Vote him in again

Watched the Four videos on YouTube and i must say i am impressed. What Peter said is what we need but i must be quick to caution us not to think saintly of the man. He did quite well in Anambra state as regards salary payment, road networking and education but also did quite poorly in the area of quality infrastructure. Obi is the kind of man you'd want to take his messages serious but be wary of handling certain tasks to man. In short, Obi is a more intelligent version of buhari. Freeglobe will say better

Other oil producing nations enjoyed same. I am yet to see them lamenting ceaselessly. By the way, America as prosperous as they are have been in recessions and depression even great depression ie a decade of depression. What nations do is what matters when in crisis. The current govt out of cluelessness keep churning out propaganda and blame game without substance in sustainable leadership!

Where was his advice back then.?


Obingo borrowed money just like the bailed out states.

Debt is debt regardless the source.
Obi never said borrowing is wrong but you need to be sure of what you are borrowing for. Do you know that dangote is servicing dept? US and even Manchester United are servicing dept? Let me give you a clearer analogue because I know that your brain is not functioning optimally.
Person go borrow 6 billion naira use am build residential house for villa and another person go borrow 10 billion naira use am build shopping mall for city. Both na borrowing but one na liability or consumption and one na asset or production.
That's the summary of the borrowing.

It baffles me that people still blame last administration on our present predicament, now tell me, is last administration that is making it mandatory that my money sent from abroad should be converted and paid in the local currency at unjustified exchange rate, hence making it difficult for foreign currency to come into the country?
it just like an able young man blaming his misfortune on his father Instead of working hard as his mates are doing.
governance is. continuous process there is no amount of money that is too big to be spent overnight.
At first, they told us that the refineries are almost 90% completed, up till now nothing, no wage increase, no money, nothing to hold hand and they are still blaming the pat administration. what will you be remembered for?

All the quotes by PETER OBI has been proved to be true, only those who have been to Anambra will surely believe he is a man of his Word, all roads in Anambra was tarred by him and he bought 2 HUMMER Bus each for all government Secondary Schools in the state, he also supply all Secondary Schools with 25 HP laptops 4GB RAM /500Gb HDD, and still have enough savings for Willie Obiano. Peter Obi is just more than the best I Ever seen..... I am a Corps member here in the state #POP on my mind

If u knlw awka very well, and den ifite precisely,and if u know "next level" hostel @ ifite down school. There is an estate @ the back of that road.

I was smoking weed with my friend in one of an uncompleted building (hostel) and then a toyota hilux and a toyota hiace bus, both tinted glasses, parked in front of the estate, we were upstairs watching as the cars pulled up and doors opened. Just two people came out, peter obi and the owner of the estate,
I couldn't believe it, governor, without escort or convoy, @ some point, I tot they came for sheddy deal, maybe he is the owner of the estate or so( he even worth it, because obi is a real loaded business man b4 politics), few months later, the estate was commissioned and road leading to it too, from then, the estate started selling lands to people willing to build.


How can a governor go without a convoy?

I did not say he said anything wrong about borrowing, my argument remains the fact that his advice was absent when he was ruing after the same crowd that refused to save when we were making $105 per barrel.


And borrowing money to spend on capital projects instead of recurrent is nothing new and definitely not a new innovation so it's kind of irrelevant coming from him who his own successor is still refusing to admit that he left any N75 billion when he left office.

For so many years, many past FG administrations have spent almost the entire budget on recurrent expenditure, but the new administration for the first time reversed that trend by budgeting more money for capital projects which means they know this is the right thing to do so obi is reaching to the wrong congregation.
