When he was Anambra governor, he increased school fees and to defend himself, he said the statement below. Let's not even talk about doctors, healthcare & workers that were on strike for 13 months in Anambra, his deportation on non Anambra Igbos, Teachers going on strike, while he buys around 200 Ford vehicles from coscharis for Anambra kings, judges (to buy elections), and politicians. You can only deceive the gullible indomie generation kids.

What Peter Obi said is the fact. Quality education isn't cheap anywhere in the world. Check how much schools in the UK, USA, Canada and Australia charge in tuition fees and compare that to those of Nigerian schools. Some UK universities charge up to £30k per annum. That's 54 million naira per year.

Education isn't meant for poor people. That's why in those countries, their people borrow money to go to school and pay back later when they start working.

In Nigeria, it's funny that universities increased their tuition fees to 100k per semester and students are all over the place protesting. We pay peanuts for half-baked education and still wonder why Nigerian graduates are not employable. Keep deceiving yourself.

Lifestone:

This your thought is very ridiculous. Do you know the nos of Nigerians tourists travelling to Dubai daily aside from USA, Europe and Asia. So a film village won't be useful too.
You saying Nigerian should be rich before fixing infrastructure is very absurd.
May people like you never get to leadership with this your philosophy

honestly I don't know how you people think. Put politics aside and see his statement from the point of economics.

Nigerians can not afford such infrastructure. What percentage of the masses go to such vacations you mentioned abroad? Take away the political exposed persons, how many people can afford such vacations?

This is a country where 100ml are living below poverty line and many are still joining the number on a daily. The percentage of Nigerians with 500k savings will shock you terribly. You read when the minister of finance talked about it two weeks ago.


Build your masses, provide basic infrastructure like road, rails, hospital and most importantly power and access to credit facilities for industries. In twenty years time, these structures will naturally spring up through the private sector and the masses will be able to afford it comfortably.

When such is done, government will sit back and tax the hell out of the masses which will make them be able to expand their own investments.

This is why high IGR doesn't really move someone like me. Government is not in the business of making profits but to uplift the people. For a country like ours, what government needs to do is lift as much people as possible into wealth before raising taxes. Even developed economies like UK sometimes drop the taxes so to lubricate the economy

Tinapa was killed by YORUBA.

Immediately Tinapa DIED, they started the LEKKI FREE TRADE ZONE.

Now, the zone in Lekki is dead also, because the planning and implementation was hurriedly conceived by useless and envious people.
Lekki Free Trade Zone is not a resort, it's a business zone. Importantly it's not dead, development is still ongoing.
Same people that used Propaganda to kill development in the SS will soon tell you that IGBOs killed Tinapa.

Anybody from SS that believes YORUBA Propaganda against IGBOs is a fool.
You Better lay your tribal sentiments aside and go sell something to Yoruba tribe, ahbi una don chop today?
Tinapa will resurrect under a sovereign nation.

Education has never been for the poor bever n never will

Quality education must cost u something

Phineky:

Building Infrastructures does not necessarily mean building malls and rails, yet they are still necessary for a crawling economy like ours in Nigeria. Ignoring physical infrastructural development can also pose its own danger in the society too.
What you should have said is that a fair percentage of our resources should be devoted to human capita development at a little margin with infrastructural development.
A man that is hungry also needs access to quality health care but he needs food first.
Now this is what we called "BALANCED ECONOMY GROWTH"

Building rail n malls with loans is the issue

Nothing happened, just a project done without business environment study

Nigerians are too poor for such project, the percentage of Nigerians that can patronize such business are too small and widely spread to make such business a success

Is like building a 5 star hotel in say Osun or ebonyi or sokoto village and asking what killed it

Nigerians like shinny projects and don't care about their viability

Cocoa house, Buhari rail lines, Lagos blue and red lines, most state airports... Same rubbish Otti wants to build in Abia

Nigerians need to go and watch 2019 Osibanjo vs Peter obi debate again... That was were obi won me over

You don't develop by building infrastructure, malls, rail system etc

You develop by investing in your people access to credit, building basic needed infrastructure like few roads, hospitals and schools

Once the population is rich enough infrastructure would naturally come up

If Nigerians GDP per capita was $15k n above tinapa won't fail, in fact we would have 50 more

Pls what is the "rubbish" otti wants to build in Abia?

Did you say you don't develop by building infrastructure?

Instead of building things that can cater for necessities, they prefer flashy things of little value.
Nigerians spend 60% of income on food and not one tourism or vacation resort.

Yes sir you don't develop by building infrastructure you develop by improving the average earnings of your people

When your people are rich enough, infrastructure would naturally follow as they would pay enough tax to easily build needed infrastructure

Providing cheap and easily accessible credit for businesses SMEs to access use to expand and grow

As thru grow they employ more and pay more

This is what obi has been saying

immortalcrown:
I don't need to watch the video before I can understand that Nigeria has happened to the TINAPA

Nigeria happened to Lagos Blue and Red train lines . Nigeria happened to Dangote Refinery, Nigeria happened to even the New Arrival/,Departure terminal in Lagos airport, Second Niger Bridge etc.

What happened in Tinapa is that Cross Rivers happened to it, South South Happened to it like the Port Harcourt monorail that end in the middle of the air and people now use ladder to access it.

That you or your state or geopolitical zone does not finish well everything you start does not mean Nigeria. Look into the mirror and tell yourself the truth, you are not truthful

it is very easy to dismiss the 'mob' tag given to you obidients. But every now and then you keep proving people right for calling you that. A mob completely lacking in tact, information, intellect and ideas, and only good at social media ramblings and intimidation cannot produce anything good. Aside bringing Igbos under one umbrella, obidient movement is one of the worst things that ever happened to Igbos.

Imagine an adult who apparently attended a higher institution saying that provision of infrastructure does not bring development. Have you not heard of critical infrastructure since you were born? Your silly SME idea is going to run on generator? You see why even the sensible people call you mobs?

What leapfrogs a people into achieving there full potential are ideas incubation, hardwork with skills, and critical infrastructure. Provision of infrastructure where there are no idea incubation and hardwork is a waste just like in the case of Akwa Ibom. On the other hand, funding businesses when there is not infrastructure like power, rail and roads, Ports and harbours means nothing because the cost of running business is still high and as such, your global competitiveness will remain low. The biggest hindrance to development in Igboland is infrastructure.

You cannot grow your economy if you don't export. You cannot export if your production cost isn't lower than that of your target market. It is the availability of critical infrastructure that reduces production cost. Critical Infrastructure also attracts investors from elsewhere. You guys are ridiculous.

Peter Obi your mentor did nothing except quack economics. No investment in power, Rail transport, airport. Even the SMEs were frustrated by taxes and levies. In the twilight of his eight years, he started dashing out one million naira to first class graduates from Anambra. What did he achieve? You think white-washing him will save him from political oblivion which he is already into?

A governor with vision plans to create an enabling environment for an industrial hub and you call it "rubbish"
Do you think you are not an enemy of progress? Obidients indeed!

Firstly I have ran a factory for 6 years, and I have never been connected to nepa.. It runs on diesel... There is little or no advantage of using national grid over your own generator

Problem with you guys us you don't think, you don't read, you don't research

You don't create and industrial hub by building trains with borrowed money... How many free trade zones do we have in Nigeria... Why are they empty?

Aba it's what it is today not because of government but because of a group called People's club of Nigeria who decides to invest in the people by training and settling them

Yes I know it's completely over your head to comprehend I get not everyone is smart enough

Infrastructure is good sure but borrowing money to build infrastructure is suicide you would never recover from the poverty trap ... That's exactly how Africa got this poor

You can borrow to invest in infrastructure if you are sure it would yield returns. The key word is critical infrastructure. It means the most needed infrastructure like power supply. This is why I say development cannot be separated from ideas. Sam Mbakwe is an example. Most developed nations are big borrowers. Africa is not poor because of debt rather because of lack of ideas and corruption. Peter didn't borrow because he was prudent but because he lacked ideas.

you are totally a confused fellow. Do more learning that airing your opinions because they are ridiculous. Power supply and critical infrastructure are no longer important because Peter Obi your mentor failed woefully there. You are using your failed none-existent factory as example. No serious manufacturing activity can be powered profitably by generating set, never!

Even the agbados are better than you guys. Tribalism is there goal but you guys have no aspirations except Twitter ramblings.

Go and read about the belt and roads initiative from China and how they plan through it to overtake US economy by investing in infrastructure. This is why China is the west's biggest nightmare economically.

Go and sleep.

Africans want to do what developed nations are doing... Instead of doing what they did when they where in our stage of development

You don't need national grid electricity to industrialize at all go and look at what caused each of the industrial revolution those are what you need

Machines, gas, and internet that's all with gas any serious company can produce electricity cheaper than national grid ... I have proven this in my factory over and over I have debated here on naira land... Yet people who don't own a business think you need power you don't


If the infrastructure is needed and their is a market for it the private sector can come in and build

go and learn and stop disgracing you self further.
"Infrastructure is not needed"
"if infrastructure is needed private sector will build all" all coming from you.

Private sector will build public infrastructure but government will collect taxes from the public. Then use it for what?

Most things needing power supply has a different price list when done with generating set. Be it making hair for women, barbing for men, fashion designing, name them. Talk more of heavy manufacturing which cannot even operate at all. How can you compete with such difficult condition?
Transport infrastructure is the basis of regional economic integration and harnessing of comparative advantage.

Go and study Rwanda and it's growth. Study Dubai and study the Egypt's Suez canal economic zone. Infrastructure is like a grease to the wheel of economic development.

In a world where investors lurk around. All you need is to birth an idea, convince investors about its viability based on availability of infrastructure, with time you get a global brand. That's how Twitter was born. Not your senseless SME.

This is why Peter Obi is hated by all his predecessors including Ngige, Soludo and the very Obiano that succeed him. He is a lousy thinker with a few vociferous but incredibly senseless followers. Their losing streak in politics best explains this.

Infrastructure doesn't cause development
Infrastructure comes as a symptom of development

Another thing is you don't grow by allowing foreign investors in to your country

You grow by supporting local industries to become multinationals


I get this things are difficult for u to get

Akwa ibom have one of the best infrastructures in Nigeria yet is depends on Abia with one of the worse infrastructure in the old eastern Region... This is enough to prove my point

mrvitalis:

Infrastructure doesn't cause development
Infrastructure comes as a symptom of development

Since Akwa Ibom has infrastructure, it can be said to be showing symptoms of development? I advise you to cool down because your brain is overheating.

Another thing is you don't grow by allowing foreign investors in to your country

can you tell me one country that grew without foreign investment? You seem to enjoy making reckless academic statements you can't defend. Jewish investment made US a global powerhouse after the second world war. US investment reinvented Japan after same war. China opened up it's economy to welcome transformation, while Jewish diaspora made Israel.

Whether a US based Abia native built a factory in Aba or a white American built same factory, they are all classed as " foreign investment". Foreign investment matters too but local investors must take the lead to competitively keep foreigners in check and conserve national values. The job of government is to Keep the enabling environment for all to thrive by providing critical infrastructure. If the economy thrives, financial institutions will be better positioned to provide loan facilities for start ups. Government should not provide loans for business. Government is not a business venture.

You grow by supporting local industries to become multinationals

you support local industries by making it very easy for them to produce and facilitate export. You do this by building seaport, power plants, Rail networks and tax relief as encouragement. When they export and interact with the global peers, they learn more ideas. With time they grow beyond national boundary and become a multinationals.

You don't hand them 💰 money without creating a conductive environment. That is a global principle known to all except for some radicalized Obidient mob.

Nigeria has all the oil in the world but without the critical infrastructure called refinery. The cost of producing refined oil went high. That is why fuel isn't affordable to Nigerians and crude oil isn't profitable for export. This is what absence of infrastructure can cause. A vibrant rail system means that product from the north will reach target markets in the south within hours and vice versa. This is what keeps an economy running.

I get this things are difficult for u to get

swallow your pride and get some education. If there is a little more of people with your line of thought in the East, then, there is a very serious problem.

Akwa ibom have one of the best infrastructures in Nigeria yet is depends on Abia with one of the worse infrastructure in the old eastern Region... This is enough to prove my point

Empty brain feeding me back with the same Akwa Ibom example I gave him. Akwa Ibom failed because there is no incubation of ideas, skills and hardwork like I said before. Even if you dash them 100 million each they'll waste it on carnival. A man without vision sees money as luxury while a man with ideas will see Same money as capital. They lack human capital and infrastructure there can't help them.
