And infrastructure does not aim development.

Of what use is infrastructure without an empowered populace...

You have Tinapa dead today, is that not infrastructure?.. how many could afford to keep it a going concern?

Why all these unwarranted attacks on Obi? Can’t a leader present teasing facts, back it up with clear figures, and ask us to go and verify again? He was only teaching us to always verify facts. This is free national training for everyone. A very appreciative Nairalander living in the village already thanked Obi for making his likes know about NBA. This singular act is worthy of a national award.

They call him a liar, I call him a professor of the deep who uses statistics to build the intellectual capacity of our people. He uses statistical parables to communicate with the deep. Unless you understand Chinese mathematics, you need to keep quiet.

The God of this land we called Nigeria will never forgive Tinubu's urchins. How will one be so clueless to the point of supporting a man as Tinubu as president, hope they have seen his present picture of the person they want to vote for a sick drug baron and also a confirmed criminal

The problem with most Nigerians is that they don't like fact and they are also too slow to understand ones write up because they don't read to understand.

You’re starting to sound like Obi. You think NBA is football? The first ever Nigerian USA NBA player is Al-Farouq Aminu and was born in 1990. He became a NBA player in 2010... So, you’re far from the truth..

Get informed plz..

Live or not doesn't matter much, it is still the same person talking. Osinbajo was my best choice, but I hardly have a prefered candidate right now. First because I started losing hope in Obi after digging a little about him and listening to him. He reminds me so much of Buhari in 2014/15. He's definitely better than Buhari but I don't see him as someone smart and experienced enough to produce any visible change.

Secondly, I already know that no president can change Nigeria much unless we change our ideology and mentality. Nigeria's problem is deeply systemic andd has little to do with who is in power. If we get a president who can open the eyes of people to this, good. But it will require a lot of time and span many administrations. The decades it took for Nigeria to disintegrate to how it is now, it will take double that time with continous hardwork and investment to bring us back. Obi is talking as if this is not the case, like he has a magic wand to develop Nigeria under three years. I see that as innocent deception. He deceived himself first and now he's deceiving others unknowingly.

Anyone willing can change Nigeria.. willing to cut governance cost, willing to get everyone working no matter how high and mighty. That eradicates corruption, brings about voluntary tax paying citizens and you have a system that works. Nigeria working is not rocket science, we only need a leader that is willing to call anyone bluff and focus on Nigeria. You had a worthy candidate in Osinbajo that didnt make the cut because some ill-informed 2000 delegates followed their bellies on behalf of 200m citizens.. that is a warped system.

Facts blown out of proportion aren’t facts anymore, they’re distorted facts, and that’s putting it nicely; they’re lies actually

Are we not happy we have an aspirant willing to even tell us in figures our actual reality.. if we actually have an accurate figure, we would find out our figures are much worse than Obi even portrays... we should be happy we are not left between the devil and the deep sea like it always had been.

Shows you’re not familiar with NBA. It’s the highest paid sport in the world. More than football. You should go to google and enlighten yourself.

You’ll even realize yourself that truly, Peter obi lies. There’s nothing like at least because he wasn’t under duress. If you wanna show yourself, show yourself positively and not some jargons thinking all Nigerians are dumb..


You are right. He's human. Other presidential candidates should show up for interviews na

Rubbish talk. If someone makes an error, correct him, don't make excuses. This is the problem with Nigerians supporting politicians. You are ready to make excuses for them when they make gaffes and will later complain when they enter power...

There is no excuse... 100 of 150 players is the least of Nigeria's concern.. i think we are lucky we have an aspirant exposing us to these figures, many would think Nigeria NBA dream died after Olajuwon. If not Obi, how many other aspirants even have that knowledge?.

A simple google search would show you in the 2020 NBA draft of the world, Nigeria had a whooping record breaking 8 draft, 5 in 2017 That is the fact Obi was pointing out. He was clamouring on the zeal of the youths and brain drain currently happening.

Now, Has your candidate shown anything of concern about Nigeria other than corn and cassava.. infact, he said the FX is not his problem as long as salaries are paid in naira.. its horrible knowing some persons fight really hard to destroy their future. It quite unfortunate that our futures are intertwined with these lots through a common leader.

Don't defend nonsense...if he is not certain, he should not quote figures.

There is nothing wrong in saying Nigeria Youths are in NBA..but backing it up with unfounded , bogus statistics is all shades of wrong...

Just look at the statement about 100 In every 150 Haba....when the entire enlisted Nigerians to have ever be in NBA since inception no reach 40.

He is not making analogy...he was reeling out false claims and it didn't start yesterday.

I feel what he intended to say is 100 out of 150 African American NBA players are Nigerians. Truth be told that is most likely considering a lot of them don't like associating with Nigeria.

Tellwhat:
I was watching it live. When he said that e shock me and I knew he bleeped up right there
I guess it was an error. He should take it easy with all the statistics and dropping numbers here and there

E go soon clear for una eyes that he has nothing to offer. It has started already.

He's still the best choice though

Based on your sentiment, right?
