Unless you didn't read that article very well or you chose to play the devil's advocate, Peter Obi answered all the questions he was asked. His answers are in the explanation he gave. They are not yes or no questions.

Obi didn't give the kind of response that will give him contents to discuss and castigate. That's why he's frustrated.

*I want to move Nigeria from consuming economy to a producing economy*- Peter Obi.

Johnson Andrew : That is coming from a man who run chain of supermarkets and have been importing even toothpicks for almost 40 years.

He has been importing canned beans and salad cream for the past 36 years.

Ibeto imported tomatoes for 8 months and set up a factory here to produce tomatoes.

Dangote went into tomato and rice import 6 years ago. He has factories here already.

Dangote is renovating Savanah sugar to produce sugar.

What has Obi done to move us from consumption to production?

You think it's by quoting false and fake statistics and telling us of nations visited as if we want a tour guide.

Where is even a bakery he has assisted to set up to bake bread he sell in his supermarket?

He must be president first to move us to production.

8 years in Anambra he has not even a block producing or pure water factory to his name.

You guys think we are babies?

Everything he said is common sense which anybody can say. He has not said anything unique to prove he would do anything differently.

He said subsidy is a scam yet while he was Chairman of Fidelity, Fidelity financed so many subsidy scammers.

He said Sambisa Forest can be used for Agriculture. He did not say how he would stop the insecurity there and he does not seem to understand that land does not always equal agricultural production. Does it occur to him that Sambisa is not so fertile? Does it occur to him that most of Netherland's agricultural products are secondary products that have no correlation to farmland size. It was a wrong analogy he made but one designed to impress the impressionable.

He is talking like someone who simply wants to pass an exam and is saying whatever the examiner wants.

Direct this question to your Messiah, Obi.

Do you really feel Obi is the smartest person in Nigeria or are you just naive?

Ask him how he intends to do what other people know but haven't done. Ask him how he intends to work with a legislature where he won't have members. Ask him how he intends to deal with a corrupt civil service and a corrupt police.

And that's why it's important to know that Obi was once a governor and Anambra did not become El dorado. He was impeached by an unfriendly legislature. Anambra's economy did not even match that of Cabinda in Angola let alone Dubai. Their citizens continue to lead the charts in Asian and South African drug trafficking. Awkuzu SARS were known oppressors and top practitioners of Police Brutality.

In practice, there was no exceptional performance by Peter Obi at state level. Donald Duke, Ngige, Fashola, Tinubu, Akpabio, Mimiko are some governors off the top of my head that I can categorically state were better performers than Peter Obi.

Unlike many Obi youthful supporters who were probably not grown or not interested in politics while Obi was governor, we were. And Obi was more known for the intrigues surrounding his mandate and his impeachment (for his replacement by the first female governor) than for actual governance.

Like Buhari, Obi is being made out to be a potential messiah with zero evidence as to why that would be the case.

Has he forgotten that there is a war going on in those northern vasts lands,does he feel that the terrorists that are laying claim to those lands will simple leave,some of you here think that iswap and Boko Haram is like niger delta militants that where settled for peace to reign, Nigeria's insecurity needs a military stone-faced kind of killer to end and as long as that insurgency continues,kiss those vast lands bye-bye.

True

I keep wondering why they keep saying Peter Obi is incompetent. The hardest creature to manage in this universe is man. Even as wild as the lion is, you can still tame it. Peter Obi had managed man successfully for years before becoming governor. No wonder he left a clean slate in Anambra and paid salary without incurring what my people call gbese. He managed his bank, Fidelity very well, no wonder!

Can someone tell me what company did tinubu manage before becoming governor? What of Atiku before becoming vice president. Growing a successful company isn't when you use looted or politics money to build your business, which both the atiku and Tinubu did. They became what they are today with people's sweats and government money. Obi stands out.

My vote goes to him.

Did you seriously just ask what company tinubu managed? Even after hearing all these years that he resigned as treasurer for ExxonMobil? Common man !

I said obi has no sense. Reason so our hs supporters reason so poor. See how his supporters who has been all along crying for rewritten of the constitution now suddenly supporting the thrash he vomited, very confused people they don't even know what they want I swear.
I said obi has nothing to offer, he does not understand national politics, he is still reasoning like Nigeria is Anambra.

God forbid obi to rule Nigeria.


As an agbado man you should understand that the first problem Nigeria has is bad and criminal leaders. Is it not bad leaders that made the 1999 constitution? Obi clearly acknowledged that the 1999 has issues but that the first problem is bad leaders. Is this too difficult to understand?

God bless you! Thanks also for your clear examples. Only a fool will not get your point.

We are all suffering today because of the system...... and what brought about the system? The constitution of course.

The person they are claiming to be the one to bring an end to the system is saying nothing is wrong with the system. How being a good leader will help to improve the situation of the country when the constitution does not permit you to take some decisions that would bring positive changes to the country?

He said he supports state police but okay with the 1999 constitution. It is clear that this man doesn't really have idea. All he has is just ambition and sugar quoted mouth along with overzealous fans.

Nothing and I repeat, nothing will change anything about the situation of this country except restructuring. Forget about being a saint. No leader can succeed with the present system.

I thing we the youth have misplaced our priority. What we should be clamouring for is restructuring not an individual messiah.

This is just the repetition of what happened in 2014-2015 when many youth were shouting Buhari, Buhari..

The question we should be asking these aspirants is "What are you going to do about the constitution?"

It is not about the leader being young, it is about who will change the system. Obi has answered you in a clear term, 'nothing is wrong with the system. Just vote me, I'm a good man. So I'll be a good leader.'

I personally have no problem with Obi but my own argument is that he is no different from other leaders and not a youth either. He is 61, a retiree by civil service standard. He was also a governor and a former running mate under PDP.


I don't know whether you're just being mischievous. Read the interview again. Obi never said there is nothing wrong with the 1999 constitution. He rather pointed out that the first problem Nigeria has is bad leadership. Is it the 1999 constitution that makes your state governor, for example , to loot public funds and not able to pay salaries to civil servants? Have good leadership first, then the constitution can be looked into. Or do you think a bad leader will try to amend the constitution to favour Nigerian?
