Under my watch not a Kobo will be borrowed for consumption, instead we all starve" ~ Peter Obi on Arise TV

Not a very effective way to sell oneself or his agenda but any wise person that wants the good of the country would understand him very well. Buhari and APC borrowed way too much and pushed Nigeria into debts that may not be repayable in a long time. Best way to go now is not to continue or tow that line with Tinubu.
Best way to go now is SAP which means Obi is right, starving is our way forward
Re: Peter Obi: Rather Than Borrow Money As President, I Prefer All Nigerians Starve by CSTRR: 10:18am On Apr 13, 2022
He said there is a difference between borrowing for production and borrowing for consumption.

He said great countries around the world borrow for production.

He said tafawa balewa built the kainji dam on borrowed funds which is a sign of useful and productive borrowing.

He said under his watch there would be no borrowing for consumption.
Instead of consumption, let us all starve.

That is a great man on a mission to do the hard job of reform and nation building m

Peter obi is not here to tickle our ears with one naira=one dollar BS.

He categorically said it.
Everything is upside down. There is no money to share again.
They have stolen it all.

He is going there to do the difficult but needful job of reforming this country for our children unborn.

If you have a small and medium scale business, then you have no business voting for anybody but Peter Obi.

Under Peter obi, Govt funds would be going directly to funding small and medium businesses and reducing their tax burden.

MSMEs are his passion.

LITTLE BOY? Do you know that in America when the pronoun BOY is use to address a well grown man it the same thing as calling the person SLAVE.
Now let's talk about HONESTY. No politician can ever be honest. There are reasons politics is tag A DIRTY GAME. Obi has nothing to offer Nigerians and that's a fact. You can't go on air to claim instead of borrowing that we should all die of hunger. There are country owing x10 of what Nigeria is currently owing make a proper research. In a country as wealth as Nigeria borrowing is NEVER a wrong policy is there are a well calculated plan on how to put the borrowed money to good use. In developed country borrow money was used to complete most of their capital projects and that's a fact. Take a good businessman for an example his/her businesses can't grow without borrow fund. Look at Dangote Leke-Epe refinery funded by borrowed fund just to mention few. Peter Obi have nothing upstairs these people as just fortunate to amass looted wealth not that they had extraordinary skills or are professional of anything.
Stop making a fool of yourself. Simple expression, you can't comprehend. Peter Obi has never been against borrowing. His argument has always been the purpose for which the money is borrowed. Go back and read the quote. He said, he can't borrow for consumption. Una matter dey tire person

All his saying is that he won't borrow money for consumption rather he will borrow money for production. He doesn't mean that people will starve to death. He means that the era of sharing the money has gone.

There is no money to share again. They will be accountability in his government and no money will be wasted.

God bless you brother. It seems we still have intelligent people online.

Peter Obi just manufacture theories that cannot be easily backed with realistic facts. It’s a known fact that Nigeria currently generate less than her expenses and we are in deep financial wahala. Very deep one.

No government can continue to sustain this country as it currently stand without borrowing money. Yes, we must reduce borrowing limit and block leakages which a sensible president can do.

But before Nigeria can stand on her own and reduce her debt servicing and borrowing to a low limit, we have to put in work, increase output as a nation, create wealth internally, support SMES, industries, and etc. You need at least 4-8 years or more to achieve that SO a president that think he will just come with magic and suddenly stop everything within few months and stop borrowing is not only lying but delusional.

Even if they bring the most brilliant economist to govern Nigeria he will need at least 4 - 8 years before we can fully say our borrowing and debt servicing is at very minimum. Nigeria is currently faced with insecurities wasting billions of our money, we have vast millions in poverty and etc., no industries in that big scale, no electricity to power the economy instantly. So how the hell will Obi achieve el-dorado for the first few years without borrowing? Nigeria no be Anambra o.

It is just as Buhari said he will make $1 to 1naira.
Peter obi has always highlighted all this key points you mention.

Peter obi says that government has to reduce cost of government, borrow for production not consumption and empower SMEs to create wealth so as to reduce poverty and unemployment.

He did it when he was a governor. Go and watch his interview in Arise Tv and you will understand better.

Because he is Igbo we will just do it hook line and sinker. Is not projects Buhari is borrowing for? He should go and sit down joor


Simple question guy. This should not require multiple paragraphs
Since you people want to make it about Buhari.

Please name ONE business that Buhari built as a private citizen.

I'm not aware of any. But it's shocking to you Nigerians would not listen to him?

Buhari was never elected for his business acumen. It was for Law n Order

So I have no idea why you would expect Nigerians to react to Obi as they did Buhari.
They bring different skills to the table

The only governor in the history of Nigeria that left N75bn in state pockets when stepping down. Workers are paid, massive projects are completed and some going, yet he left the state with a huge amount of money including over 300bn he invested for the state in the stock market that yielded massive returns.

i must say i love the interview and i have always give obi kudos in the area of managing finance and spending.

But where i have issues is the massive project you quoted.

Please can you mention a few of them.

Peter obi is the only presidential aspirant that has the solution to the socio economic problems of Nigeria.

He has been saying it countless times that we must borrow for production and not consumption. Nigeria must reduce cost of government and block the loophole of mismanagement and wastage. He will empower SMES that will create wealth, reduce youths and make Nigeria a productive Nation.

This is to tell you a man that is good for the job. Not someone like Buhari and osibanjo that's say he will make 1 dollar to be 1 naira and his vice was sharing 5k as trader money and 30k as npower. That's rubbish and nonsense.

Peter obi is truthfull and realistic. He does not sugarcane words. They is no money to share again. That is the bitter truth. Nigeria have to the productive and creating wealth not sharing money thereby increasing poverty.

Most Nigerians don't like the truth. They will rather vote for those incompetent fools that share money and they will suffer for the rest of eight years.
