Election matter. Just wanting to avoid the story of “if I don’t give you electricity in 4 years, don’t vote for me when I come back for reelection ”. A beg, thank God we have election coming up soon and I’m sure all efforts will be geared towards making this to work

Make una no mind Petobi! May be he used it to collect lands in Lagos and also to convert government property to his personal assets in Lagos. I hear say he's a stakeholder in one company called Betalpha used as conduit pipe to siphon money too. You gerrit? If you don't gerrit, go gerrit!

Please don’t misjudge the woman in her present situation, only those in such circumstances can truly and practically know what she’s passing through. Taking the step of having a partner could be her way of having someone to share her pains with and probably not dying from depression. Loneliness kills silently.

Tinubu's government has failed Nigerians. Yet, same government intends to return to power in 2027? If renewed hope is like this, what adjective would qualify the 2027 hope??

Mr. Sarcastic! Know this and know peace! This is who Obi is. When he was the governor, I was in the same plane with him and we sat in economy together.n

Peter Obi is such a humble man. Someone told me he drank water himself yesterday.

Politics › Re: 2027: Tinubu Is Tired, And Should Leave Office After 2027 Elections - Peter Obi by aydought: 8:02pm On Jul 08
Compare this "abroad news" to that of someone who forfeited USD for related offences. O lọ far!!

Flets:
Okay I agree with obi on this.

Sometime in 2009, ‘Mr’ (as he preferred to be addressed) Peter Obi, governor Of Anambra State at the time, visited Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and myself at Dallas, Texas. He came to deliver a get well message from Dr Goodluck Jonathan and was billed to attend a black tie event at the Dallas Marriot.

Curiously, he flew into Dallas airport with one small carry on luggage, which he insisted on wheeling around himself, and on getting to our residence requested to freshen up. He opened his carry on, filled with files and paperwork and a few toiletries and an extra shirt, and when the Ikemba and I asked if he was expecting another item of luggage, he said no.

‘Then, what will you be wearing to the event tonight?’, we inquired. It was at that point that it struck him that he couldn’t show up in his casuals at such a ceremony.

I insisted on taking him to the luxury men’s emporium at Nieman Marcus to buy a smart black suit. When we got there, he was busy doing the dollar to naira currency conversions. The suit that was a perfect match for him was a dapper Tom Ford suit with a price tag of $3,985 plus tax. He did the calculations and told me, ‘Do you know how many students this amount of money can train in Nigeria?’ I reminded him that he was the governor, as well as the special guest, and for the calibre of guests expected at that evening’s occasion, including the mayor, senators and captains of conglomerates, amongst others, he needed to be dressed in top form.

To cut the story short, he refused to pay what he termed ’that outrageous price’ for the Tom Ford suit and that was how we ended up at Steinmart, where he agreed to pay a more acceptable price of $220, tax inclusive, for a basic men’s suit, which he was happy to wear to that evening’s event.

What struck me was that as we were on the way to the airport to see him off for his return flight back to Nigeria, he reached for his pocket where he brought out an envelope of crisp hundred dollar bills. The amount in the envelope was $3,800.
He said ‘Anyanwu, this is the balance of the money I would have paid for the ‘Ford’ suit. If the label on the suit was ‘Peter Obi’, I am wondering if anybody in America will pay that amount for it. I have deducted the amount we paid for that suit we eventually bought. Please use this balance for your Charity foundation to help those in actual need. I trust you will do so’. We all laughed heartily. Vintage Peter Obi!

The eventual beneficiaries of that largese were Madam Theresa Agbo, a yam seller who became penniless and displaced when her yam shed was gutted by fire; Callistus Egbe, who was bedridden due to illness, and needed help with the school fees of his young children; and the Mgbemena family of six, who were thrown out of their one room accommodation (which we subsequently doubled to two rooms) because their breadwinner fell upon hard times and could no longer afford the rent.

In life, you either live by your creed or you desecrate the mould by which the Almighty created you. Any progressive nation measures an individual by his values, not his vaults.
If this way of life is what is derided as ‘stinginess’ on the part of Peter Obi, then we all need to adopt this mould for a more sustainable and more humane environment.

Gentledove2001:
Obidient noise-makers that lack tactics and common sense. The only thing they know is how to insult people who doesn't believe in their agulu president. The fake statistics man. They will always jump on anything or at any opportunity to demarket Nigeria their fake messiah wants to rule. A social media president who knows nothing about the country he wants to rule.
Point of correction, Sir. It's not "people who doesn't believe", but "people who don't believe"

Thank you, Sir!

APOPTOSIS:
When are they gonna start wasting all these people. What is wrong with us? What have we smoked?
Nigeria's populationis already high ceiling.
The earlier they start weeding out miscreants for the good of the good, the better for the nation
Basically, to even have a sane society where these useless idiots are completely extinguished and to also send right signals to anyone thinking of going that route, that crimes have consequences.

DO THE CRIME, DO THE DEATH!!

Time for Atiku to shift, enough is enough.
If he’s desperately interested in power and love Nigeria so much to die for her as a President, he should wait for the pendulum to swing to Northern Nigeria in 2031, then he’ll be massively voted into power.
For now, the focus is on the key players from Southern Nigeria in all the existing parties. This I have seen!
