SoulWriter:30k for online trolling at the cost of good governance, 30k bet for car racing at the cost of human lives all from people from same region. See how cheap some people can be when used to promote interests that ultimately harms them. |
helinues:Shame really allowed you to condemn the younger and more impressionable Comfort Emmasuen while supporting a man who is old enough to be a grandfather who has drawn so much value from the Nigeria system to build a brand and ought to know better, just because of tribalism. Shame is really scarce |
Jatuski:These content creators will not cease to amaze us. Expired party without shame |
abc115:Rufai or someone that talks like Rufai? Show us his face too if you are sure. Rufai, the chief tormentor of political brigands |

FUNDAMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE (PARTIAL LISTING) 1. Anambra was the first State to commence Sub-Sovereign Wealth savings, the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. At a time many other Governors were leaving huge debts, I left the equivalent of $500 million Dollars in investment as well as local and foreign currency, including $156 million in Dollar-denominated bonds. 2. For the first time in the history of Anambra State, Ambassadors and High Commissioners of notable countries such as United Stated, Britain, Russia, European Union, South Africa, Belgium, Israel, the Netherlands, Canada, among others, visited the State. Before my tenure, Anambra was practically a pariah state blacklisted by the Diplomatic Corps and international development partners. 3. Development partners such as UNDP, UNICEF, the World Bank, DFID, the European Union etc., which hitherto were not in Anambra State started working with the State. Anambra was consistently adjudged one of the best states in development partnership and commitment to reforms for good governance. 4. He was recognised as Best Governor by the Millennium Development Goals Office (OSSAP-MDGs) and the UNDP in the implementation of their programmes in Nigeria. 5. The Nigerian Debt Management Office (DMO) rated Anambra as the least indebted state in Nigeria. In spite of visible and measurable achievements recorded in various sectors, the State under him did not borrow or raise bonds for her various projects. 6. The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria rated Anambra State as the most financially stable state in the country. 7. The State's ground-breaking return of schools to their original owners - Voluntary Agencies (Churches) on 1st January 2009, and subsequent partnership with the Agencies in Education, saw the State move from 24th position out of 36 States to Number One in National Examination Council (NECO) and West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations for three consecutive years. This made the World Bank to commission a study, led by the renowned Prof. Paul Collier of Oxford University, on this revolutionary partnership and phenomenal achievement. 8. The State also entered into strategic partnership with the Churches in the Health sector. This symbiotic relationship resulted in a tremendous boost to health care because of the services offered by health institutions owned by Voluntary Agencies, while the State restored grants to the agencies and made available to them more than 50 million Dollars in various types of support. 10. Through partnership with the Church in the Health sector, his Government funded the transformation of -: a: Iyienu Hospital, Ogidi; b: Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala; c: St Charles Borromeo Hospital, Onitsha; d: Holy Rosary Hospital, Waterside, Onitsha; and e: St. Joseph Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu. His Government also built the Joseph Nwilo Heart Centre in St. Joseph, Adazi-Nnukwu, where heart operations are now being performed. 11. His Government won the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (1 Million dollars) as the best-performing state in immunisation in the South-East. With complementary funding from our Government, they used the money to build 10 Maternal and Child Care Centres across the State, particularly in rural communities, in partnership with the Churches. 12. The State was the first to procure and distribute more than 30,000 computers to secondary schools, including 22,500 from HP. The Managing Director for Personal Systems Group HP Inc, Mr. FabriceCampoy described the deployment as the biggest of such projects in the Middle-East and Africa. 13. Anambra State Government provided Microsoft Academies to more than 500 secondary schools, which the Head of Microsoft in Nigeria (Mr. Ken Span) described as the biggest such deployment in Africa so far. 14. The State provided Internet access to more than 500 secondary schools, which the CEO of Galaxy Backbone (Mr. Gerald Ilukwe) characterized as incomparable to any in the country. 15. More than 700 buses were provided to secondary schools in the State by our Government. 16. Boreholes were provided in schools all over the State. 17. Numerous classrooms were built in all the 177 communities of the State. 18 As part of the efforts to turn around the economy of the State, a number of companies were attracted to build their facilities in the Anambra State. A case in point is SABMiller, the 2nd largest brewery in the world, which built their first Green Field facility in the State, which is today one of the most successful facilities they operate globally. 19. A number of other companies followed the SABMiller initiative and were all supported and encouraged under our Government; a good example is INNOSON Motor Manufacturing Company, from which our government bought more than 1,000 vehicles. 20. Anambra State for the first time started close collaboration with recognized government security agencies (the Police, Army, Navy, Department of State Security, Civil Defence, among others), offering them various types of support including provision of more than 500 security vehicles. The improvement in security was phenomenal, such that the former IG of Police (Abubakar Mohammed) lauded Anambra State for not witnessing any bank robbery in my last three years in office. 21. To further enhance security, Anambra State provided at least one security vehicle to each of all the 177 communities in the State as well as various organizations such as markets and Churches. 22. His Administration conceived and built, from scratch, the first state-owned Teaching Hospital, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu teaching Hospital, Awka. 23. His Government commenced the planned development of the Igbariam Campus of the ChukwuemekaOdumegwu-Ojukwu University, including the fencing, construction of internal roads, electrification, construction of the Faculty of Law, Auditorium, Administrative Block, Faculty of Agriculture, Management Building, among others). 24. His Government attracted the World Bank support on erosion - National Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) - to Anambra State. 25. His Government was the first to do Poverty Mapping in Nigeria, as a guide for the effective implementation of our poverty-alleviation strategies. 26 His Government, for the first time, undertook the aerial mapping of Awka as well as the production of Structure Plans for Awka Capital Territory, Onitsha and Nnewi. 27. During his tenure and with his Government's support, Anambra State became an oil producing State. 28. He built the first Secretariat Complex to house State Government Ministries that were hitherto scattered around the State. 29. His government commenced the development of the 'Three Arms Zone' comprising Government House/Governor’s Lodge, Legislative Building/Speakers Residence, and Judiciary Building with Chief Judge’s Residence. 30. By the end of his tenure in 2014, more than twelve (12) health institutions, including two hospitals, had secured accreditation; when we took off in 2006, no health institution in Anambra State was duly accredited. 31. Anambra State was the first to undergo national peer review, which scrutinised State Governments for good governance, through the State Peer Review Mechanism (SPRM), an initiative of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum in collaboration with the DFID. |
helinues:Inferiority complex is eating you people away. You are in power but involuntarily play opposition and that is the rightful tole because you guys know who won 2027 election. |
helinues:Ceared IMF loan, but still borrowing Nigeria's future away with order credtor countries and organizations. Where is the achievement in one taking fresh loan to settle another overdue loan obligation? Glorifying nonsense |
Covid19lockdown:Why do you give attention to clowns? You think he doesn't know what he is doing? Man must whack |
manuelkel:Obi is a leader and not your regular Nigeria brand of politician who have destroyed the country. So uju are right |
OriOko88:And this is the kind of Nigeria you plan to bequeath to your classless children from an obviously struggling family? How do you expect them to survive with dignity in this kind of Nigeria you are justifying? |
lebienconnu:DPO's food for 2 whole months. Chai! |
CoolAmbience:You unashamedly support a narcotic addict and trafficker as your country's president but vilify an ordinary Nigerian who only switched parties. You guys are so negligible to successfully insult the sensibilities of sane Nigerians again. |
Raskimonojendor:Also show us the comparison of the poverty rate in Nigeria between 2015 and 2023 and between 2023 and 2025. You people are really not intelligent. Snoring own goals anyhow |
helinues:Play the full video and realize how fast you are running out of ideas and portent munitions for propaganda. Feel real sorry for your career future as an online political troll |
madridguy:While citing the few anomalies in other climes as justification for bad behavior in Nigeria, try to also cite their economy, security, independent Judiciary and free and fair electoral system as points Nigeria should also be judged by. Don't only copy nonsense from people, also copy their strengths |
Akanoaaa:So shameful |
OLADD:What did he say in the audio that is criminal? Dud you even listen to the recording or just blabbing |
PulaPower:So justice is now selective. That is the problem |
dederocs:You are correct. But why wasn't KWAM handled alike? That's the question Obi raised. |
seunmsg:Ethnic jingoists without any shred of shame. Whole Ibibio lawbreakers should be stripped and locked up in kirikiri, a Yoruba lawbreakers should be overlooked because yoruba man is in power. So nauseating and shameful for a tribe that tout themselves as the most educated. |
WizardOfNG:Here's another vista of justification for Igbo hate. Please explain how Igbos feel entitled in Lagos state and to what? |
TouchNfollow:He will sell oo. Their lust for Igbo man's money is incurable. |
ElSudani:Yes Igbos resisted Fulani expansionist drive towards the SE, just like Igboho resisted them in the SW, though he later ran away when the heat was turned on. Can't you see what has become of the MB and other parts of the North who were too politically correct or just cowardly to resist the Fulani? Is that what you wished for the igbos? Grow sense. You people have totally lost all justification for Igbo hate that most of you now sound pathetic. |
christistruth01:You finish selling your ancestral lands to Igbos, yet you are clamoring for the safeguard of ethnic identity and heritage? One has to be resident in a location and in good numbers before any identity can be enforced. It was Yourba lust for Igbo man's hard earned money that boxed them irreversibly into a tight corner that only affords them equal rights with Igbos in Lagos. Only time shall tell. |
okoloto:They should just open up commerce infrastructures like seaports, railways network etc across all the regions and watch how Lagos will bleed to extinction. Bauchi State was in Enugu state to woo Igbos back after they became deserted as a direct consequence of hostile behaviors like this. You refuse to expand the commerce space to increase opportunities and promote competition, yet lament the people are suffocating in a small space you provided. Any prison warden that is responsible for holding the prison doors fast, is also a prisoner. |
StaffofOrayan:You want away from them but are the first to cry foul at the mention of Biafra. You people are becoming too desperate because you are running out of weapons against the Igbo man. All your evil plots seem not to be working as planned. |
Lanretoye:Your people happily sold their lands at an exorbitant price to Igbos and went to party. Igbos bought and went to work. Now the money is finished, wailing everywhere. Just remember that this land holding will passes from one generation to another, meaning that this wailing will also be intergenerational. |
Softmirror:Are you from Lagos State? Yoruba ethnicity does not confer on you any additional benefit outside your state of origin than it confers on an Igbo. That's what the erudite Doctor is saying. |
VinnyBaba:Who made that law please? Very unreasonable lawmaker |
BlessedGift:With juju on thier waistlines |
