A friend and I are planning to come home for holiday towards the election period. We both have valid voters card.

Note: We are both 100% politically neutral. We also don't give a **** about religion, ethnicity e.t.c

We just don't want a repeat of the "Sai Baba" hype of 2015 that brought us all to this very point as a country.

Supporting the Sai Baba movement has haunted me ever since. My eye just clear from the very first month Buhari became President. It's been a disaster!!! Unfortunately, alot of people can't run away from the country like we did.

So the race is looking more like it's going to be between Peter Obi and Asiwaju and the media hype is deafening.

I know all about Asiwaju's achievement in Lagos since I lived and worked in Lagos for almost a decade and I also know much about his not-so-good record.

On the other hand, I don't know much about Peter Obi other than he was once a Governor. Never been to Anambra before but he looks like a good alternative.

In the spirit of not repeating the "Sai Baba" error by supporting either Asiwaju or PO without asking intelligent questions, please (People of Anambra) help itemize or summarize his success stories as a Governor as well as his bad reputation. Only Anambra people or if you know the history of Anambr very well abeg.

PS: PO's supporters around here don't know either but are afraid to ask or too lazy to research. This is part of my own research. They said his achievement is that he paid salaries and pensions on time.

If indeed you are a neutral person, then asking anyone to tell you about any candidates ain't the right way to go.. The internet is there for you to research all you need to know.. Approach all info wit an open mind and explore all you read, expand your imagination and you can easily have your answers.. The only reason why we all go to school is to be able to infer from gigantum of info at our disposal and make decision..just try and approach all info with an open mind.. I'm sure you will get to fall in love with obi at the end

As you know, there are tons of false info and propaganda online these days. Same strategy the "Sai Babsla" menace thrived on in 2015. So, it's a combination of online plus direct enquiries of first hand info and common sense.

It really funny how an adult can be deceived to to make wrong choice during election. So if some like Reno, Fkk, El rufia's son(who always attack the south east), Dino etc comes out for the post of the president in this our diverse country, you will still have doubts about electing them? Thus thread smells like what them Apc cooked in the kitchen. Vote for BAT since you don't know who has the best interest of the country at heart among all those contesting.

hegelian:


Like I said do your own research.. There is no way you will do a good research and activate your reading between the lines and you will support, defend or vote pmb.. Pmb was just a wrong candidates to vote for in 2015 or anytime even tinubu attested to that on the time past.. What I have always thought my students and siblings and those that look towards me for guidance is the mentality and the ability to read between the lines cos with it you can make a wise decision from a multitude of wrong and bad infos.. I dont hold grudges or blame politicians or anyone that support a bad candidates provided you are benefiting from it but it becomes an aberration, a summersault once you begin to defend your oppressor or defend someone u won't benefit from..

hegelian:

Also you should know that this is this the first time since 1999 that a general is not contesting for election which is a good thing for us, cos it means we are moving away from the old ways and ushering in the new era...one on one Obis just a bit better than tinubu and atiku but the huge benefit for the country is that he is a departure from the past..tinubu and atiku belong to the old political ways, political thinking and old political ideologies and its time we retire them all and move forward.. we had the opportunity with GEJ and instead of moving forward, we moved backward ( even if we dont want gej, we should have looked for someone better, more futuristic and not going back because a progress is a progress even if its 0.01% but instead we went back to the old ways and here we have the result)...
im not talking about the good or bad quality of obi but the implication of having him at this time...

Also you should know that political loyalty dont develop a nation...if you want a nation to develop, pray your politicians dont have loyalty to their political ways but to their dreams for the nation that bring them in because almost all politicans have good intentions but political loyalty derail them once in but here in nigeria we are loyal to fault, which was why we hardly criticise those that have done something good for us even if they are evil and satanic but the igbos are not that big on political loyalty which is why you hardly see a successful political gofdather among them and its also a plus for us this time cos we dont need silly loyalty now(if you think im wrong check all successful nation and you can easily the role lack of political loyalty does to their politics e.g england, usa,china etc)

Lindner:


Now you're talking!

But let's leave Tinubu and Atiku out of the discussion. We have done the comparison based on current realities and we know who is better- Reason I said PO looks good on paper. However, I've learnt that the best judge of future performance is historical performance. There's a high probability that someone who has done something in the past would replicate it, all other things being equal.


Now back to my original question. What was life like for the Anambra people when PO was a Governor. We know it's impossible to please everyone, but were the majority people happy? Also, It shouldn't be difficult to mention one or two verifiable things (should be more though) the did to better people's lives.

Go and research about ANIDS Anambra integrated development stratergy. It was Peter Obi's blue print in Anambra state. Besides Anambra was hell under PDP until Peter Obi came. If you listened to Keneth Okonkwo on TV, he said that Anambra people became endeared to Apga because of Peter Obi's performance. My brother if you are not a disguised urchin, pls I want to encourage you to make your individual research.

pquaver:


Are the people of the South East endeared to pdp because of pdp performance? Just asking in response to the bolded. Because I know Kenneth okonkwo will say it anyhow it will favour his part. He is a politician

bender79:
Maybe you should find out why Apga has survived all this years even with the intimidation of the big parties. Are you aware that Peter obi have beat a combination of Soludo, Andy uba and ngige in elections before? If he didn't perform there is no way he could have done that.

pquaver:


I am asking a sincere question.. Let take your logic to Abia and delta and apply it.. Is it because of the good works of pdp the are rooted deep in these states? Ikpeazu defeated likes otti and others so, is it his good performance or the good performance of Theodore Orji that is responsible for that?

Just move on to the next thread. Your kind are quick to spot. With all the right decisions your adult self has made, see where it has led you. Everybody just has to be APC, PDP or LP to you.

Economic wise no state can be better than the other in Nigeria because Nigeria is a federal state and whatever affect kaduna affect bayelsa aside security which is mostly local and that is even majorly dictated by the federal govt.. However comparing anambra state with most state during his time using the normal HDI performance metrics obi performed better.. I will look for the link that compare all HDI parameters of the time with other people using data from recognized institution.. And from personal experience wise I served in Anambra during his time around 2006/2007 and I worked in Lagos between 2007 and 2010, I have lived and worked in twenty plus states across the federation including the north so I can compare without prejudice..for the record I'm from the North Central and I don't do religion so no bias whatsoever for me..this for me is not about individual bias but the future of the country because the truth is as I have come to realized is that Nigeria cannot break, reason is we are far more connected than we are divided so its better we look to the brighter side and develop or look for ways to heal and grow
