If Peter Obi Was Sworn In, What Would Have Changed? by vanbonattel: 10:47am On Feb 11
Of course nobody can see tomorrow, but we can all make logical conclusions from past events. There is nothing that can predict the character of a man like his reputation, a fighter will remain a fighter, a crook will always steal, or shield his stealing cronies. A compassionate man will never change, a wicked person cannot do anything without adding a touch of wickedness.

We have reasons to believe, after seeing the excellent performance of Peter Obi in his business and academic life, his philanthropic and wealth creation deeds, and his exceptional performance as administrator over a difficult state like Anambra, that he is more than capable to tackle, and surmount the hydra headed problems of Nigeria.

For one, Peter Obi is a very stubborn individual, so fearless that all of us are the ones being afraid for him. He can take on any issue and give it a tough fight, he is not the type of man any person can dominate, or stop him from doing something, especially if the things he wants to do will benefit everyone. His VP candidate, Yusuf Baba Datti Ahmed is also a very excellent performer, we trusted that the 2 of them will change the bad story of Nigeria. The confidence levels of Peter Obi is out of this world, he can face all problems with the strength and certainly of a bull.

We saw him demolish the cabal in Anambra state, wrestled power from them and handed it over to the people of the state, strengthening all the government institutions.

I know that many people from all tribes voted for Peter Obi, and that the poor performance of the people who took over power is making them angry, but let everyone keep hope alive, because evil cannot last forever. Even as Peter Obi is not president, we know what he can do, and we are comforted that we were right about the APC team and their inefficiencies. That's why we are resolute, and the pain is not too much.

Of course, there is no way a Peter Obi will be president and allow rice to climb to #70k. Its impossible.

1. He wouldn't have appointed a Bus Admin as CBN Gov. They wouldn't have thrown up Naira for aboki to speculate. (He would have channelled $ to the Banks, not the 5750 unemployment middle man "aboki-bdc" ).
Naira would have been kept at N460/$, its true value compared to the dollar.

2. He would have fired the aboki at NNPC and replaced him with an experienced Oil Chief that would remit at least close to GEJ days. ($$, not "zero" )

3. He would have replaced some parastatal CEOs who are incompetent and were products of "Daura" appointment. Made the system at least more trustworthy and efficient.

4. He would have pumped 15-30 million barrels to Dangote by now, accepted Dangote's Naira settlement request (or sought another compromise - he's a Business man) and smoothed out any other coastal difficulties. By now Nigerian daily fuel might have been Dangote.

The average Nigerian would have had more in his pocket by month's end after expenses, than is the case now ($0.00).

That is just a few.

1) he would not have floated the naira like a an uneducated person like tinubu did

He has articulated what he would have done differently and it was plausible it would have worked and naira would be 800 max right now

2) minimum wage would have been sorted out since

3) this corruption nnpc buying petrol and selling at a loss won't happen, we would have subsidies ( we still do) but the system would have faced massive anti corruption spot light

4) there would have been improved security infrastructure and formation bases on merit

5) obi government according to him would have provided low interest access to credit to key industries

6) obi would have visited all the state in Nigeria

7 ) 5 minimum unscripted media briefly would have taken place since may 29

I can go on and onw

Enjoy Your Regrets

In leadership, the number one source of authority is legitimacy, and the first ingredient of legitimacy is integrity.

Read that again.

A leader without authority is a clown in office.

A leader without legitimacy that is product of integrity cannot exercise authority.

Civilized societies in the world understand this simple yet fundamental principle of leadership.

That is why they will scrutinize to the smallest details anyone who aspire to lead.

That is why anyone in leadership position discovered to have integrity deficit will have to go.

They understand that a leader without integrity is liability to society.

They understand this basic principle of leadership.

But not in Nigeria.

Never!

You that is reading this, there's something you will put on the internet about the president or his deputy, about the security agency, or about the intelligence agencies, they will smoke you out in less than 24 hours.

Wherever you are located within the territory of Nigeria, trust me, they will fish you out in less than 24 hours.

They have the resources and what it takes.

But, kidnappers and other criminal elements are running around free, unhindered in the perpetration of their enterprise.

Citizens are at the mercy of criminals.

If the president summons those in charge of security and intelligence agencies and gives them the marching orders to fish out the criminals in two weeks or lose their jobs, something will change.

But, listen up, he won't do that.

He dare not do that.

He won't because he can't.

He can't because he dare not.

You know why?

Legitimacy issues.

A leader without legitimacy because of integrity deficit cannot issue ultimatum.

How?

To who?

When you rob your way to power, you have legitimate issues.

There are those who have a dossier on you, those who have information of your shenanigans.

There are things you dare not attempt.

This is where I have issues with the idiots who rejoiced as the road that leads to the highest office in the land was blatantly desecrated, because their preferred candidate was "winning."

They were too myopic and stupid to understand that everyone is a loser when a man robs his way to power.

Completely unable to see the larger picture.

There's a video on the internet of a woman addressing the governor of Ekiti state when he visited communities overran by bandits.

The woman told the governor who is on the platform of APC:

"Your Excellency, we are endangered... they kill us like fowls... this was where the man sat (pointing at a spot) and was instructing everyone to vote APC (the man she was referring to was one of the traditional rulers abducted and murdered in Ekiti state by yet to be apprehended criminals)... Your Excellency, since they abduct and kill our leaders, what is the fate of we ordinary people..."

From the woman's lamentations, one of the traditional rulers abducted and murdered desecrated his throne by conducting himself as agent of APC.

APC is ruling at the federal level and in his state, yet he was abducted and murdered. His killers are still running around free.

Those who should protect the traditional rulers and citizens have integrity issues, there are instructions they cannot give.

If you are among the morons who rejoiced as the road to the highest office in the land was desecrated because it favoured your candidate, keep your frustrations to yourself.

You or your loved ones are not safe from the calamity that has engulfed the land.

But, do us one favour...

Enjoy your regrets quietly.

At times I start to wonder where the man gets his strength, he was like this as governor of Anambra, he was everywhere everytime, stretching to solve problems at the base. He gave succour and comfort to as many people as he came across, he visited people at their houses, rich or poor. He bought things in the market, noted prices himself, walked in mud, if his people are walking in it.

He felt what the people felt.

You lack proper information, and it's threatening to deform you. Hunger is scattering your people and you are still here spewing lies and propaganda while we from the state gave him 100% vote in the last election. We know more than you.

Obi would not have appointed 48ministers when he is privy to the state of the country's dwindling finance.

Obi won't treat terrorist financiers with kid glove. Naming them means taking the fight to them.The main reason prices of foodstuff is on the rise is because of the continuous onslaught from marauding terrorists and a serious government won't let things deteriorate to this level before taking the fight to them.
