The cherry picker

Up till this moment, Peter Obi has not responded to IMF debt clearance by Fg

Okay let's assume the IMF debt news is late, FG has just paid another $2bn debt to China and India just some days ago

Peter Obi is too petty to be a politician not to talk of being a president of any association

The debt repayment is not news because those borrowed funds were looted by the same government officials that want the whole country to stand at attention because they taxed the citizens so mercilessly to repay stolen borrowed funds.

yarimo:
It will be better for Arise TV to apply for registration as Political party

They don't have to. Part of their job is to provoke discussions that deepen democracy and they are doing just that.

MasterTeeUSA:
Since you dont know anything about abroad, let me educate you..

Investigation can take months and years abroad and you will never have access to the crime scene. It was not one shop indicted here, lots of shops so what we have is a MEGA crime scene. As part of investigation, people confess and report or take pleas..instead some of our people lied and denied and NAFDAC said people did not even come to claim the shops. Everyone acted dump including plumbing section storing drugs.

You are MAD at the wrong people. It is like blaming the COPS for killing an armed robber because it was just things...but if there was no robbery, there wont be any shooting. Before you come online and make a fool of yourself calling people names...think and ask yourself, wil this make me look stupid? Blame those that peddled crimes and sales of fake drugs and everyone complicit in killing fellow Nigerians. NAFDAC is not your problem, and neither am I. Blame your FAKE DRUG criminals.

So if crime happens in a particular local government area, the whole area becomes a crime scene and every inhabitant will be forcefully evacuated for endless investigations to be conducted? Where in that your 'abroad' has this kind of madness ever happend? I don't really know how some parents succeeded in raising human beings with neither sence nor compassion.

Socratiz:
This is interesting.

So, none of these traders know how they can escalate this alleged "levy" by NAFDAC, they had to hire VDM.

Is VDM a lawyer?

Don't they know how to contact a lawyer to write petition against NAFDAC?


VDM should have posted one of the payment receipts of one of the traders for us to believe that this allegation is true.

Something is fishy

The only thing fishy here is your poor reasoning.

Bluffly:
If 1000 shops have been able to pay it, then the entire market are culprits. On calling out NAFDAC they should return thebminey and close down the market completely.

You reason as someone with no operating system in his brain cells.

Honestey:
Unless Obi himself is the presidential flag bearer I shall consider him a pawn in the game of Nigeria politics. Besides, he said he is contesting on LP platform so what has quickly changed?

Why are you concerned?

Tenisam:
These people don't really know what they want. Same Obi that recently said he will contest under Labour Party so why is he attending coalition meetings again. And for Ameachi, that one nah El- Rufai the South he doesn't know what he's doing. Atiku should just rest because ihm nah perpetual failure. I want to believe that coalition is for 2031 because only Emelokan Tinubu of Burdillon can run coalition successfully in this modern political era we are in Nigeria.

God Bless Nigeria

Ronu camp is in confusion

helinues:
Below is the report card of Obi during his tenure

https://www.nairaland.com/870945/what-exactly-peter-obi-doing?s=08

*He was the first Governor in Nigeria to legally challenge his wrongful impeachment and was reinstated by the Courts.

*He was the first Governor to serve a 2nd term in both the new and old Anambra State, that is, almost 40 years after creation of the State.

*He was the first Governor, whilst still in Office, to be appointed a Special Adviser to the President.

*He was the first serving Governor to be appointed into the Presidential Economic Management Team.

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.

Putindbutt:
Pre-1999 Tinubu was an executive officer in ExxonMobil, your 3rd class philosophy trader is not fit to work as a cleaner in ExxonMobil.

You keep pushing claims that are unverifiable like the Chicago certificate, his date of birth and secondary school records. Don't remind Nigerians what they are struggling to forget.

GodPunishOsu:
That useless bank should be seize and turned to Night club.ordinary bank they can't run

Gtbank and wema bank are only bank I know for now.

Wema bank that looks like a low grade bukka

Caaz:
If she were to be your sister,i m guessing you will not spill this trash.

Principled men tell the truth to whoever it may concern, sister or not.

Goldensword:
Ignorance is a big diseases indeed, did you care to know the contents of those videos before comenting here? Let me tell you, those videos actually favour Nnamdi Kanu case, because the video talked about Nigerian's arming themselves for self defense, which is same thing DSS accused Nnamdi kanu of Saying.

You dey mind those empty brains

SoftSport:
things are heating up, videos from big names like danjuma and uzodinma being admitted? Nnamdi kanu has bitten more than he can chew. This is the end of the road for him.

Defense team tendered video evidence and you think it will help the prosecution? Most if the haters have an atrociously low compression ability. Tufia

helinues:
Those who wrote that bunkum are slow.

Even if you want to meet president Tinubu about any issue, it can't be at Vatican

You just realized it is bunkum after it was debunked. Every APC online troll like you are heaps of bunkum. I strongly agree with you.

gasparpisciotta:
Must we use ethnicity to color every achievement?

What is wrong if the heading reads:
‘12 Nigerians in diaspora build a “world class” hospital in Anambra state, Nigeria.’

We colour crime with ethnicity. So we should also colour achievements with ethnicity. Na our culture

psalmsjob:
But this is the truth coming out and you're still saying the whole truth will come out when again.

DSS didn't kidnap him. All they know is that he jumped bail and was presented to them by an unknown source in response to DSS bolo on him as a fugitive and here we are in court to continue his prosecution. How he was arrested has nothing to do with this ongoing case and with him defending himself in the trial that he has been evading because he knows that he is guilty as charged. Nnamndi kanu is a terrorist, kidnapper and a fraudulent person exploiting the gullible South east youths to contribute money for his Ipob terrorist organization in the guise of fighting for a so-called Biafra yeye

Everyone has an opinion, just like everyone has a shithole.

ProudlyLagos:
asking for his republic as who? The same person calling for arms to fight a sovereign country like Nigeria and also instigating hate against other ethnic groups and calling for killing of security personnel? Pls define a terrorist?

If it was a yoruba man that was inciting hate on the radio against yeebos like in the case of adeyinka grandson that was later arrested prosecuted in the Uk, we know how you cry cry babies was calling for his head

We know you lot are hypocrites and only scream victimisation when it’s done against your hateful tribe, but unfortunately for you clowns, cownu would face justice for his crime and nothing you empty chest beaters can do about it

During Adeyinka Grandson's madness, who were the people cheering him on? I dare you to post any Ronu's comment condemning his stance on Igbos. If you are unable to provide one, there is only one name for your like: bloody hypocrite.

Chucks13:
Then don't invest in Nigeria take your investment away its not needed here.

I'm doing business for years in Nigeria I never have issue because I don't go beyond my boundary and I don't dive nose to what is not my headache so sorry to tell you I'm cool here in my country.

Did Trump obey court order? But you can invest in US. Or are yu telling me not obeying court order just happening today? It come to Kanu emotional craps took over, Kanu committed treason offense and must g to jail full stop.

Take your investment away we do not really need it.

Small nyash dey follow shake.....tell us your business name let us check something. When you are inconsequential, you should never share your inconsequential experience before you sound stupid.

tiswell:
Is she the only one who has lost a loved one to the nonchalant attitude of Nigerian medical personnel??


Mbok make we hearbword

Do you also plan to loose a loved one to the nonchalant attitude of Nigerian medical personnel?

[quote author=zero8zero post=135439410][/quote]This guy is slways childish. Little wonder Tinubu keeps ignoring him

saphiere:
This thread is for ladies but see how men will jump on it like frogs.

To the question, we really don't care about a man's shape. Let him just have money and be responsible.

And when the man says he wants a Virgin, you get provoked. Why?

Chivisee:
You can’t come near tinubu and not be happy! This is the best day of their supleme leader life , look at how happy he appears like an olosho they just promised marriage !

Nigerians came near Tinubu and are sorry. What are you smoking this hypocrite?

Well, it's truth... I'm sure she's not sexually satisfied wherever she is right now but she's afraid to tell you the truth... An average penis should be 8 inches, not that Asian average sized toothpick.

It's obvious she's naturally big, while you're naturally small because a vagina is elastic and it cannot be loosened by having many body counts.

So either you go for penis enlargement, or you set her free to be handled by someone who's the same size as her.

Spokesperson of boreholes. I can imagine your own depth.

PresidObi:
If you score 2 in yobe, you have passed, meanwhile a person in Anambra will need to score 139 to equal the boy who scored 2 in yobe?

They have really cheated the north, thinking they are doing them a favour. This is a way to destroy the youths of a place with illiteracy, masked as opportunity. That's also why Nigeria will never work.

Yoruba claims the most educated with a subsidized cutoff mark. Lol

Botragelad:
Care to explain how it's supposedly 'their land'?😂
Just because a group migrated there and outnumbered the locals doesn't magically grant them ownership. The Jewish people were persecuted and became minority, that doesn't automatically erase presence at all. It was never Palestine land because Palestine was a British mandate, which means a colonial entity that never came into existence. What then are you crying about?🤷🏼

The actual indigenous people (the Israelites) don’t lose their claim just because they were a minority at one point. Numbers don’t rewrite history here, mate! 🤦🏼

They are trying desperately to push a narrative that Israel is a nomansland, but will never tolerate anyone calling Lagos a nomansland, which it truly is.

lordm:
Cost of labour also adds to it.

Also contrast the quality of the two products. The net diffeerence might be zero.
