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

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

Same Ashiwaju that refused to support Jonathan to get rid of terrorists and achieve our common goals when we were on right trajectory?? Shift Bro!

Sonofgod1990:
This terrorist are just trying to spoil the good work of Mr president. Asiwaju

Asiwaju Will get rid of this terrorist in his second tenure. Lets support Mr president so we can achieve our common goals

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.

Bianca Odumegwu Ojukwu,

Plus rocks better. Im a very slim guy but likes plus size women. You go see fresh flesh whole wella wella

TemplarLandry:
It's a lie madam. Soon, you'll move on.

Try and apply logics before making comments blindly. If you've been there before, you'll know she's being real!!

A beg, stop projecting this man on social media. With all the security issues in Nigeria, why exposing him publicly to the evil people out there!!!!

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!!

Take heart Sir. Only God can console you and carry you through. I feel your pain cos I'm also struggling to heal from the loss of my own dearest wife, too.

What government of Nigeria shamefully cannot do, Dangote of Nigeria confidently shall do!!

Dailybellz:
On What Basis Are Obi And Kwankwaso Leaving ADC?

That's how politics is played in Nigeria. You gerrit? If you don't gerrit, forgerrit!!

Awon Ole gbogbo. Later they'll be blaming Tinubu

The man knows how to play his game very well. Even in opposition, he knew how to make great influence. I wonder why ADC bigwigs can't put their heads together and shake the ruling party

Good way to solve the medical issues in Nigeria However, hope this wouldn't be another failed "renewed hope" project. Nigeria is aleays good at making policies and promises to build castle in the air, but ,a prominent Master’s Degree holder in failing to bring them to fruition.

Please how much does it cost to put an mtn esim on my phone. Samsung s23 ultra

It’s quite cheap, I think around N2k thereabout. That’s what I use. No sweat at all

That strong ogogoro wey dirty the eye don dey clear small small. Before the end of the year, it will completely wear off. This I’ve seen!

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!

Other nations are moving forward, our own leaders are putting the country in reverse gear. Las las, this evil too shall pass!! Ain’t no stopping us now, we are on the mooooveeeeeeee. “Whether or whethern’t”, 2027 shall be a game-changer. This, I have seen!

Same former this and forner that, being disregarded by some people brought this APC to power. The more they look, the less they see, until the tide turns and eyes are clear las las

Lagos government should find a way to sanitize that Ikeja Computer Village. Enough of duping innocent citizens in this Lagos city

APc pack your load ooo. Your time is up

You don't need to tell us. We know already.

Contrary to Sunny Ade's popular song, we are already singing "Iwaju kọ l'ọlọkọ wa wa lọ, ẹyin l'ọlọkọ yi, wa wa lọ, awa ti mon, ati mon ye o, ati mo"

Na so oooo Whatever it will cost the infidels to be sent to marry 72 virgins on the other side, let it be

This is the best advice for those people protesting in Nigeria to do. Let them go and live there to show their complete solidarity.

Hmm. This is indeed a matter of all matters that really matters to people of matter to be mattered about!!.

Yet, he is busy strategizing to win 2027 elections by all means This one too shall pass, same God that proved to Abacha that no one with earthly manipulation can be a president without his consent, the same God is still alive. Let’s wait and see who is the authority in next year’s elections

HacheNoire:
The senate has concluded through a constitutional process.

The debate about whether or not they have the capacity is inconsequential at this time.

By their fruits, we shall know them. Don’t worry na, you’ll come back by 2028 to dance palongo of wailers’ song

Wizkid should also learn from Davido's humility to respect elders. Too rude

Wike should allow democracy thrive in Nigeria. He’s on the trajectory of destroying democracy in Nigeria with his arrogance, greed, crudeness and madness . Anyway, whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad

Can the presidency just warn this terrorists' sympathizer to remain silent for life on issues regarding terrorism in Nigeria?

Fayemi. Just, leave us alone oo. You politically played with the future of Nigeria because of your selfishness. Later now, you will come and tell us again that you are joking again with this your CHRISTMAS WISHES.

In summary, any politician knowing the right thing to do but opts to do the wrong thing, is a corruptible leader!

“QED”
