The real developments, the flyovers in Awka, the quality road constructions, security of lives and property (no more govt sponsored kidnappings and ndi mpawiazu), ANSIPPA, investment attractions, upper Iweka, entertainment, night life, many more I can't mention here in just under 9 months. FYI Anambra's IGR stood at 500 million/month in 8 years under obi's regime, something obiano has pushed to 1.1 billion in just over 5 months of resuming office and is planning to push it to 3 billion. This is what we call governance. until Peter obi refunds all the balance he stole from our IGR in 8 years, he will never know peace

Bridges: Obi did a lot of bridges across the whole state (I can provide link if you contest that)

Roads: Give example of the Obiano quality roads since we are yet to hear of any aside those done by Obi.

Security: Obi started the Upper Iweka revolution. He chased a lot of criminals out of Onitsha and Anambra. He started the Joint Task Force which Obiano is building on. He drastically reduced crime compared to Chris Ngige whose activities fanned the embers of criminality and lawlessnes in the state. During Obi's tenure, the were relatively insignificant reports of robberies, you could only hear of kidnapping which targeted mostly the big guys around many states. So, he started the security revolution Obiano is accomplishing right now, Obiano couldn't have started it.

IGR: Ngige and his agents made sure Anambra's IGR never entered state coffers; even the claimed N450million Ngige and his cohorts claim was just a facade to cover up their looting lifestyle. Meanwhile, Obi raised the IGR to N600million. He then started putting resources into place to make sure the IGR increases. Revenue, ANSIPPA, Lands offices were all started by Peter Obi. Obiano wouldn't have achieved N1.1billion if he'd started from the scratch.

Obiano is not even touching as many areas as Peter Obi touched. Is Obiano fighting political wars? He does not have to because Peter has done those for him to stay focused on the bigger goals.

FreeGlobe:
The problem with you Peter obi praisesingers is when someone criticizes your master, instead of you to raise contrary claims with facts, you divert attention by saying the person is not from Anambra, like I have time to debate that with you. The same way your master Peter obi will respond to any criticism about his government as criticism on the igbo race. Since you say obi was begged openly by okonjo iweala and other ministers, why has he not been appointed minister yet despite many cabinet reshuffles by jonathan, including minister of aviation which he schemed so much for. Or is it Dangote that has never invested 1 kobo in Anambra? Any governor could invite anybody to say anything about him.
As a matter of fact, I'm presently in Anambra and the state has just started to witness[b] real development[/b] after obi's 8 years. This same man pegged Anambra IGR at 500million a month for 8 years, something the present governor has more than doubled withing few months of assuming power. Is it security? Awka? Where exactly did obi do the good things that only you and 9inches know?

Who commenced work at upper Iweka?
What was Anambra's IGR before Obi's regime?
Obiano is giving final touches to Obi's remaining works and commencing his own works. Nothing more.
Since you could not see Obi's works in schools, hospitals, roads & bridges, agric, water scheme, security, etc then may you continue being blind forever, olodo.

@Chigold101, the problem with unrepentant Chris Ngige's praise-singers like foolglobe is whenever Obi's achievement is highlighted, instead of them to raise contrary claims with facts, they start off with name-calling and vague 'Peter-Obi-wasted-8yrs' rant. Why can't they be specific and mention the sector and what he did not do so we can all discern.

FreeGlobe:
Peter obi is a shameless man who after looting the state for 8 years under the guise of saving money for the state (in his bank by the way) is now running around begging to be appointed minister

Shame on you, provide the links of your accusations. I like what I'm doing to you on this thread, you have no hiding place. It's only your death that can save you, but I'd rather have you die slowly in your present spiteful state.

A lil salt to your injury: Peter Obi is presently the Chairman of the Technical Committee of the Economic Management Team. He was in Washington as part of the Federal Govt. Delegate to the 2014 World Bank/IMF Spring meeting

So this is supposed to be an achievement? A honorary adviser? More like an errand boy. What effect does it have on the polity? The question is why did Jonathan not make him a minister after all the noise fools like you made? Who is miserable between both of us? 9inches a certified illiterate and peter obi hired tout. Show us a link where Jonathan appointed Peter obi as honorary adviser b@stard. If my criticism of obi pains you so much, go to hell you are useless anyway!

... Militants allegedly attended hospital in Mosul showing signs of disease
... WHO spokesman said they are trying to 'reach out' to officials in ISIS areas
... Disease reportedly brought to Mosul by 'terrorists from several countries'
... Extremist group said to have executed 11 Mosul doctors in past few weeks

The World Health Organisation is investigating reports that ISIS militants have been showing up at an Iraqi hospital with Ebola.

According to three media outlets an undisclosed number of militants displaying signs of the disease attended a hospital in the ISIS-held city of Mosul, 250 miles north of Baghdad.

While the reports, from Kurdish and pro-Iraqi sources, remain unconfirmed, WHO spokesman Christy Feig said the group are trying to reach out to officials in ISIS-held areas to offer help.

UN workers are currently banned from entering ISIS-controlled areas in both Iraq and Syria so it is unlikely an operation in the area could be carried out.

Ms Feig told Mashable: 'We have no official notification from [the Iraqi government] that it is Ebola.'
The symptoms of ebola are similar to those of other diseases including malaria and yellow fever.

Mosul has been under control of ISIS since June 2014 and over the past few weeks militants have reportedly executed more than a dozen doctors for refusing to treat injured fighters.

According to a report in Iraq's pro-government newspaper, al Sabaah, the disease was brought to Mosul by 'terrorists' arriving 'from several countries' and Africa.

The symptoms of Ebola, which include nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, bleeding and bruising, are similar to those of other diseases including malaria and yellow fever meaning it could easily have have been misdiagnosed.

In addition, very few ISIS fighters are believed to have travelled up from West Africa where the Ebola outbreak originated with most coming from areas where there have been no reports of the disease.

The reports have appeared in pro-government and Kurdish media but if true it could have catastrophic implications for people in ISIS-held areas as the group is against western science and medicine.

It is not known if any of the surviving doctors in Mosul are equipped to test for Ebola or trained to treat patients and prevent the spread of the disease.

Yesterday the United States and its allies staged 29 air strikes on Islamic State targets in Syria and Iraq on Wednesday, the Combined Joint Task Force said.

The action in Syria included 17 strikes near the cities of Al Raqqah, Dayr az Zawr and Kobani. A variety of Islamic State buildings, fighting positions and units were hit.

In Iraq, 12 strikes targeted Islamic State buildings, fighting positions and units near the cities of Mosul, Fallujah and Sinjar.

Fighters, bombs and remotely controlled aircraft were used.

It is time to be objective and not fight among ourselves as these politicians are here again for our votes.
I saw this in APC/Buhari manifesto:
he says he will “Generate, transmit and distribute electricity on a 24/7 basis. and I want some clarity.

The ambiguity of APC and Buhari change slogan has been a concern to me. My one vote and that of my wife need an explicit road map to this change from APC and Buhari for us to cast our vote come February 2015.
On electricity, I need the following clarifications from Buhari to convince me that change is coming;
I want Buhari to tell me the total number of power in megawatts that Nigeria required to have constant 24/7 power in every home in Nigeria.
I want him in all honesty to tell me the number of years (1 year, 2 years, 3 years or 4 years) that will take him to build the power plants that will generate and this amount of electricity.
After generation, I want him to tell me the number of communities that are not connected to the national grid and the number of years it will take him to link the entire country including sambisa forest area to the national grid.
I want him to also tell me the total number of transformers needed to ensure electricity is distributed to every household from Otueke in Bayelsa to Chibok in Borno and from Kaura-Namoda in Zamfara to Oshodi in Lagos.
He should tell me how long it will take him to get transformers to all the communities across the entire landscape of Nigeria for effective distribution of electricity.
Finally on achieving these set goals within the timeline he will provide, I want him to tell me what I will pay for the electricity to enjoy 24/7 hours power supply.
I need these answers to take my stand on 2015, not war of words between him and anybody.

I swear, if Buhari ever does give these explanations, I personally will guarantee him my kindred's votes, no jokes.

Two contrasting news from thesame man.. I'm confused

FreeGlobe:
This son of a dozen fathers. All governors are members of the economic council illiterate. Which honorary adviser are you talking about? You better go to school to cure this your illiteracy b@stard. Peter obi remains as good as mbadinuju and Theodore orji.

This product of watery dead semen, you do not need to confirm how daft you are, so quit spewing rubbish here. Did Obi kill your parents? You did and you are facing the consequences. So take your frustrations with Mr Obi and end your miserable life elsewhere.
Last information before you rest in pieces- Peter Obi was the first governor to be appointed Honorary Special Adviser on Finance to the President, despite being an APGA front-man with Governor of Adamawa State, Rear Admiral Murtala Nyako (rtd) being appointed Honorary Adviser on Agriculture. No other governor held such position, Fool globe.

Akainzo:
At the bolded, Awolowo was not an HONORARY ADVISER, he actually was the FINANCE MINISTER, and guess what, even in that position, he won a war! What more do you want to know?

Peter Obi was a state governor and at thesame time appointed Honorary Special Adviser on Finance to the President, the first time a governor will be so appointed. Remember he was in an opposing party APGA which took away power from PDP in the state.

His indisputable discreet and judicious use of public resources marks him out as special specie in a seemingly shark-infested political terrain. His grasp of all financial strategies and details is simply overwhelming. Through strategic planning, prudent and transparent management of resources, as well as reduction in the cost of governance, his administration achieved integrated and comprehensive development in all sectors without borrowing or owing anybody.

Now you know why he is a rare gem, don't you....? You are welcome

Guilty of the fifth one only. I do not transfer aggression nor leave issues unsolved, especially family ones.

Norwegian singing group Nico & Vinz revealed Nigerian rapper /singer Skales as one of their inspirations. The duo said that Skales is their mentor and they are looking up to him.
The duo behind “Imaa Imaa” took to Twitter to praise
Skales and let hi know how he has been a source of
inspiration to their career.
“@youngskales Brother! If u only knew how inspired
we’ve been by u and naija music! U have been on our playlists for years now! #greatmusic”

Nico & Vinz, very intelligent and humble fellows. Their track 'In Your Arms' was being played at Stoke City stadium just before Stoke vs Man utd this afternoon.

Skales should seize the opportunity and feature them on any his project to gain more int'l followership.

But why is she orgly though

This fool, Valentine obienyem again. Which obi are you talking about? the criminal and bigot we all know? Its clear to all that adaobi is now hustling for ministerial appointment. Charlatans and sycophants like you had lied to us that obi was begged to come and contribute to the center in a ministerial position but long after his tenure and several cabinet reshuffles nobody has asked about him except now he is doing the hustling himself. obi is as much asset as the likes of mbadinuju and theordore orji

Mumu, who is your Valentine Obienyem? Go siddon for one corner cos you aren't making any sense. Your mama dia! Was Mbadinuju and Orji among the economic team? How many of your South West governors (including your father who is six feet under.g) have doubled as state governor and at thesame time as an Honorary Adviser on Financial Matters to the President within the economic team?

Make sure you answer first before you go ahead and die, ode.

Last consolation goal #Terry

Aaahh shoki.. shoki aaah

But he was paramount leader of the PRC from 1978 to 1982? What is a paramount leader if not Head of State?

What they had then was Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress which Ye Jianying headed from 1978 to 1983.
The "paramount leader" is not a formal position nor an office unto itself. The term gained prominence during the era of Deng Xiaoping, who was able to wield power without necessarily holding any official or formally significant party or government positions (head of state, head of government or General Secretary) - Wikipedia

Pls thank me b4 u run away

rhames:
Did my brain eh? Uhmm. Well may be the next comment might be an insult. I still maintain that age does not matter when it comes to leadership and what you have to offer people matters a lot. Take a trip down memory lane in support of my argument.

No Chinese leader since Deng Xioping was below 70 years of age when they assumed office. In fact Jiang Ze Min was in his 80's when he assumed the leadership of China and the Chinese economy not only grew but became an export oriented economy and the second largest economy in the world.

No, I don't insult when I haven't been insulted.

@bolded.. Then I should assume you do not believe physical strength is required in leadership.

"Deng never held office as the head of state, head of government or General Secretary (that is, the leader of the Communist Party), he nonetheless was considered the "paramount leader" of the People's Republic of China from December 1978 to 1992. As the core of the second-generation leaders, Deng shared his power with several powerful older politicians commonly known as the Eight Elders." -Wikipedia

Who did you voted for in 2003?

Goodluck

Eziachi:
If GEJ is a good leader according, who is his opponent s age your main concern, rather than focusing on what makes him leader.
There are nine other young presidential Candidates. It's not a two horse race.

Age should be a concern incase you do not know. Obi does not talk anyhow like your average Nigerian politician; I am sure you read where he gave Buhari credits regardless.. Who does that? It shows the value he places on orderliness and rule of law in a sane society.

baybeeboi:
lol! happy new Buddie

Wishing you more!

Eziachi:
Not the same vote GEJ not PDP again?
Candidates are products of the party that produces them as long as, there no option of independent candidate.
Tell me how many local government GEJ can win without PDP? Then you can come with your theory?
Let see what Obi will say if GEJ is not in power or Obi himself was to be denied access to Aso Rocks. Obi is like a hooker who claims to love her client.

A lot of people like me vote because of the candidate and not the party. If GEJ cross-carpets to APC today, many people like me will still vote him. Obi was somebody before GEJ became president and he never depended on GEJ for anything personal. Rather, it is GEJ that needs him judging by his personality and achievements in Anambra state. Obi is a great asset to the presidency having held a position in the economic team even while still serving as a governor.. What does that tell you about his quality? Obi had to be begged by Okonjo, GEJ, Wike and co to come and contribute at the centre.
Obi is one of our credible public figures who still has integrity even after holding a public office for 8years. He was about retiring from politics for good before being sought after by the presidency.

rhames:
If been 70 years of age is useless or fragile or whatever you describe it, why did GEJ pay countless visits to IBB and OBJ?

Did your brain interpret "fragile" in this context as being brain dead? Haven't you seen someone giving out advise from a sick bed?

[s]

Eziachi:
Do you practice your theory of locking up old folks in your own family or your town?
Instead of focusing on the issue that affect people, but no, if it's not about being a jihadist, it's baboons and blood or the colour of someone's pubic hair.

[/s]
I never insinuated any of the above. Do you always have this problem of misinterpretation?

baybeeboi:
oh! U d share name with John Thomas?

oh! U d share name with Honda product?

rhames:
Do people actually retire these days? In leadership context, age does not matter except what you have to offer.

This is service to a nation we are talking about, right.. You are telling me people should die in it? My dear when you are 70 you are assumed to be fragile at least in our own clime. The leadership position in this context requires much of both mental and physical strength.

baybeeboi:
na wao....Nkiru sef no wan 4get d guy 9inches ni?

rhames:
Age comes with experience. But some leaders are to just naturally born to carry out this onerous duty. Not Just in politics but in business as well.

What is the essence of retirement age then, or you think the people who originally proposed it are dumb?

backtosender:
age matters if not things like pension age will not exist,younger minds are needed in society for improvement

Gbam!

Eziachi:
And now he is in bed with the same OBJ and the Ubah clan/PDP that denied him his mandate, impeached and humiliated him?
The same PDP that chased justice Salami under his leadership, the Court of Appeal reinstated him whenever PDP kicks him out.
The one that rigged Obiano into power and months later abandoned him, even before he could collect the keys

It wasn't about PDP, APC or whatever party, they don't matter to him. Peter Obi has said he will do whatever it takes to make sure GEJ wins. For a fact, you can hardly hear him discussing PDP, but he will always tell who cares to listen that Goodluck has the ability to lead our nation to where it should be; and the best way he could ensure that is joining GEJ's party, simple.
