TheSameGuy: If Peter Obi, a former Governor of Anambra State and Presidential candidate of LP can schedule his campaigns in a state he once govern and South East general not to fall on every Monday of the week; a day Ipob Terrorist specified for sitting at home, killings and looting.
He has failed and shouldn't be trusted with our votes.
He deserves to be stoned whenever he make mention of turning Nigeria around.
Anambra today is in State of disorderliness. You dare not go out every Monday of the week or you get killed and cannibalize by The Terrorist IPOB-ESN-UGM
Look at the type of thread opened by a person who supposedly sucked his mother's breast.....
Sometimes it beat my imaginations the provenance of these myriads of lampooning the Obidient movement whom they claimed has no structures....
dubem3: Obi, we see you following Goodluck jonathan everywhere eating his shyt. Feeling fly. Thinking you are brilliant and got mouth like Obama. God de see you and i can almost touch your disappointment.
After opening a thread sounding like you were objective and concerned ab initio, perhaps this particular reply shows how kindergarten you are as a person.....
If you have scores to settle with Obi, better come straight....
Ironically, the almighty writer will be rounding up as a two termed governor.......his state is still designated as most insecured state In Nigeria under his nose ....
Many defunct industries vibrant during the military eras are still in camatose....
Now, as he is leaving, juxtapose the average per Capita income and unemployment rates in Kaduna state with Anambra State despite the heavy presence of Federal angencies and institutions domiciled in that state and proximity to FCT.....?
Despite your moniker, it is obvious that even if you are Onye Anambra as inferred, you weren't residing in Anambra state during Peter Obi's era.... perhaps you would had observed a quer academic rendition in El Rufai 's piece..
emmanuelbrown26: Self acclaimed accountant ran away during ICAN conference. Self acclaimed first class graduate (unknown unstitution he attended), I think dis upcoming election is just to expose somebody and his evil doings

With Soludo taking the bull by the horns, the governor has Decided to restore the glorious moments, and economic advantage of a nature. Freshly Onitsha has been turned to a construction site.
Alozie21: It is an honour to return to the City of Kaduna and to participate in the Arewa Joint Committee Interactive Session, and rub minds on some fundamental issues germane to the future of Nigeria.
I thank the leadership and stakeholders of the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation for their gracious invitation.
I wish to preface my remarks by setting out our mission and vision. We are all Nigerians. I am a Nigerian running for the Nigerian Presidency to serve every Nigerian. I continue to insist on a show of respect for every candidate, ethnicity, religion and person.
The mission and vision of the incoming Obi-Datti Administration is to give full expression to our democracy by moving our country from consumption to production; we shall achieve this by giving primacy to implementing the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Our dear country today has become a shadow of itself. Indeed, there is evidence that Nigeria exhibits two known indices of a failed state; parlous economy and loss of territory and emergence of ungoverned spaces.
The purpose of politics and governance is to generate economic and social progress for the citizens in larger freedom. But the status quo is the reverse. This is more so here in the North, where poverty, unemployment and insecurity are the new normal.
The North has the highest number of out-of-school children in the world. It has highest number of school kidnappings in the world. The North also has the highest number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Nigeria.
The vast agricultural lands of the north - the so-called food basket of the nation stand desolate and abandoned. This situation is painful and needs to be fixed. Great nations are built through visionary policies, programmes and projects, anchored on the people.
This was always the hope and wishes for Nigeria by our founding fathers. Sadly, things changed. Our leaders became selfish, myopic and stopped listening and caring for the common man. Bad leadership, divisive rhetoric, and impunity became the norm.
Nigerians have suffered; they have lost jobs, and lost their farms and herds and their trust in our leaders. That narrative must change.
The Nigerian people want solutions to the many problems confronting them. After all economic prosperity for all is an all important aspect of a successful leadership, there is hope. We know this for sure. A new Nigeria is Possible.
But we must return to dreams of our founding fathers to create an egalitarian society. The Nigeria we seek will be a United and Secure Nigeria that symbolizes the spirit, letters, and exhorting ethos of our national anthem – “one nation bound in freedom, peace and unity” where “peace and justice shall reign.” As we seek to come to power in May 2023, we are aware of the daunting array of domestic and external challenges confronting our dear nation, and we are fully prepared to lead from the front.
We are cognizant of the domestic policy challenges that have accumulated over time; and that the lack of adequate public policy responses has made them worse, with a devastating impact on national unity, social cohesion, public trust in government, and economic performance.
We have a grasp of prevailing challenges.
Nigeria’s needs and unmet needs are very huge. Yet hunger, insecurity, poverty and deprivation know no tribe, religion or gender.
With all sense of urgency, we will, pursue aggressively policies programmes and projects to enhance the productivity and competitiveness of all the sectors of the Nigerian economy.
For the North we will do the following:
- a) We will offer immediate and decisive long-lasting and permanent-effect resolution of all security challenges in the North;
-b) Ensure that farmers return to all farmlands for the 2023 farming Season. We will make Nigeria’s arable land in the North her new oil and gold;
-c) As part of our Marshall Plan for Education, we will foster Federal intervention in education at all levels in the North and partnership with State Governments and international organizations in order to improve access to affordable and quality education at all levels;
-d) Ensure very adequate representation in government, equitable appointments especially in the Security and Economic Sectors;
-e) Incentivize the resuscitation of the moribund cotton and textile industries; and full exploration of the cattle economy value chain, notably the $75b global hide and skin economy. Nigeria’s share of the global industry is envisaged to generate over $1bn by 2025;
and finally,
-f) We will ensure very generous deployment and allocation of economic and social projects and infrastructure in the North – with keen attention to Roads, Energy, Power, and Dams- and Solar energy from Sunlight.
In closing, let me say this on record. I have come in peace to develop, to secure, and to unite, and I will do so with every commitment to the growth of Nigeria, as one great and united country.
We shall pay as much attention to the development of the North as to the development of all other parts of the country; but with much greater emphasis on the development of the Agricultural resources.
The North remains where the biggest ad sustainable wealth of this great Nation lies.
If elected President, I shall govern with the fear of God and with all good conscience and intent. The Constitution and the rule of law will always prevail.
I thank you for your kind attention. May Almighty God bless you all and bless Nigeria.
oikirodah: A Tale Of Three Probes: Why Tinubu Should Be More Trusted Ahead Of Atiku And Peter Obi
Here is a rundown of some of the major controversies surrounding the APC, PDP, and LP's presidential candidates. The purpose of this post is to highlight the implications of these accusations and determine who among them has a better track record of transparency and accountability.
I came across this intriguing article detailing the allegations and scandals made about these aspirants and their responses to these alarming negative issues. The author raised salient points in the article.

Expectations:
Atiku Abubarkar:
His biggest albatross is the accusation that Atiku Abubakar sold Nigeria to himself during the unpleasant privatization era in which he was in charge. Atiku is reportedly outrageously wealthy today.
Obasanjo emphasized this by describing Atiku as worse than the Devil and the number one saboteur of the country's common patrimony in his book My Watch , Obj practically BURIED Atiku's reputation.
Peter Obi:
Peter Obi's own accusation is that he invested government funds in family businesses, that he is the number one destroyer of the currency due to his imports, which drives away local productivity, and that he is too stingy and runs a one-man show.
Obi's Pandora papers, on the other hand, are the former governor's albatross; he was painted there as a local and international FINANCIAL CRIMINAL who should not have access to public funds.
Bola Tinubu:
Let us now consider Tinubu. The Jagaban carries the burden of a Godfather who dictates and controls his subjects whom he appoints as kings. Some claim he has Lagos in his back pocket.
Tinubu's case, like the two previously mentioned cases of Atiku and Peter Obi, was used as a case study by the African Independent Television Authority, AIT, a powerful media organization similar to CNN in America and the BBC in London.
They aired a documentary called The Lion of Bourdillion, which had the support of the presidency and the ruling party at the time, the PDP.
This documentary was intended to finish Tinubu ahead of the presidential elections in 2015. They portrayed Tinubu as a warlord who owns 50% of everything good in Lagos and a ruthless kingmaker.
Reality:
So, what is the reality ? Atiku and Peter Obi refused to take Obasanjo and the Pandora Papers to court over a serious accusation that, in sane societies, one would never dare to make themselves public after such accusation, let alone run for a councillorship position.
Even to this day, they have refused to file lawsuits, even if it means exonerating themselves and restoring their public image.
Tinubu on his own part filed a N150 billion libel suit against AIT.
The AIT went on its knees for an out-of-court settlement, issued a public apology, and retracted the story.
Unfortunately, some people continue to associate Tinubu with such twisted narratives.
Indeed, reality and expectations are two entirely different things.
Many respondents have argued that Tinubu has demonstrated transparency with his own accusations proving that he has not a single thing to hide , in contrast to Atiku and Peter Obi, who may have issues to hide and chose to ignore such serious accusations in order to prevent further damage to their reputations.

Pacesetterz: Some of u just make nonsense videos and upload to YouTube for views. What is the essence of this video?
The video certainly, is not meant for everyone. Those that it is meant for, have taken the message. Certain things shouldn't worry your life so that you live longer on Earth. I think It is YouTube that it is eligible to complain not you.... Take life easy....
