T9ksy:
Stop befuddlling your good self. You cleared no one's doubt about the issue of discourse except of course, in your delusional mind.

Oga just go and rest you have lost the plot.

Hamachi:
Visit Lagos State censor board. A research in 2024 says over 8 million come to Lagos daily via air, road, sea and through the borders from neighboring countries, the report did state the % that stay and do not return to their base. I bet you over 500,000 never return back to their base.

What is the demographics of the 8m people. You have not talked about that?

T9ksy:
Ademoyega wrote what he believed to be true about his involvement in the coup but undoubtably, Ifeajuuna was not forthrightly with him from the unset if he, ademoyega could have ended up with such a misconception.

The special branch police report (after over 200 police interviews of participants, witnesses, politicians, collaborators etc), concluded that the trio who concevied the coup were ALL igbos! You can't wriggle outta that one, na.

Unfortunately, it's you that is deliberately disseminating propaganda by trying to twist well-known narratives.

Oga why are you shifting goal post? You said that Ademoyega was the last person, now I cleared your doubt and you are coming up with another lie about police special branch report that also mentioned the fact that there was non-igbos that participated in that coup and there was never a time in that special branch report that they attributed the coup to a tribe.

Amotolongbo:
He is a bit inconsequential if he wasn’t overseeing a brigade

Yes but can you explain why an inconsequential person was killed?

Legitiscool:
we are tired of these pitobi lies

You people would be playing baby politics blackmailing other politicians and still claim it's opposition

Why can't you people chest your excesses

Which lies did he make here? Bros cool down and stop being shallow.

YesDaddyTill203:
Yet una dey rush to Lagos on a daily basis.
It's oxymoronic to hate something yet keep rushing it like air you need to breathe to stay alive.

Show us the statistics and show us your data gathering technique and also show us the percentage rate at which they troop to Lagos.

Moat of the comments are basically from APC supporters trying to paint a non-existent scenario. Make una chill

Amotolongbo:
what post was he holding in the military?

He was the Quartermaster General of the Nigerian army

Amotolongbo:
Tell us who dey killed in your region.

IGBO COUP, it was

Col Arthur Unegbe. It was not an Igbo coup

T9ksy:
Gbenu soun jo! Ademoyega was the last officer recruited in mid-october, into a coup slated for Jan. 15th, 1966! Yeah, he participated but he was not a member of the coup "planning commitee". That title belongs to Majors Ifeajunna and Okafor and Capt. Oji.
The coup was conceived in August 1965 by the trio above, and planning and recruitments of collaborators, in earnest.
Ref: Special branch report of April 1966.

As for Fola Oyewole, Ademoyega confirmed in his book, "why we struck" that the former did not know of the existence of the coup until 11:40pm on Jan. 14, 1966. Just as Oyewole had stated in his book, "The reluctant rebel".

But here you are, claiming falsely, that Oyewole was part of the planners of the jan.15th 1966 coup. The sad thing here is the fact that, you know what you claimed is errornous but i guess, you just couldn't help yourself..........

Bro you really don't know how to lie. Adekoyega stated in his book that idea of the coup was conceived by himself and Ifejuna, in fact if there was anyone who was the last to be brought into the plan, it was Nzeogwu when Maj Chude Sokei was sent abroad on training. Bros stop trying to defend nonsense. You have lost the plot to spread propaganda.

chopnaira:
The military will gun down any barger that resorts to violence. Would seyi makinde bring his kids from America to participate in wettie when it starts?

The same thing happened in operation wetting in the 60s.

Amotolongbo:
Yes if you could tell us who they killed.

It is not about who they killed. Since these guys participated it negates the theory that it was an Igbo coup

chopnaira:
Wr are in 2026 and not 1960s.

The more reason why you should learn from history.

Osebanjo:
We know sir. Good luck on your endeavors. I’m pretty sure Waziri is convinced more than ever to pick you as his running mate. But I think you’ll do better in 2031 instead really

You guys and your love for twisting narratives. Make una rest

Lithiumite:
.pls ask him why obi wasn't in that amala meeting,haven't seen any pictures of him.

Obi wasn't in the meeting are you kidding me! Una dey lie oooooo

PDPdestroyer:
That was before the Ibo coup that set Nigeria back till date

So Ademoyega and Fola Oyewole who also planned and participated in the coup are Igbo abi. Bros that lie is stale.

Amotolongbo:
It all started when a military section of the country killed the political and military leaders of the other two sections in 1967.

Yes including the section that brought Ademoyega, Adeleke and Fola Oyewole. No play Ostrich on that one.

Vision101:
Nobi like this ooo. They carefully planned theirs for over two years. The execution was final. This one na rag tag opposition.

The previous one took 2 years because this was their first time, but these guys are experienced they do not need to waste time on coalition.

Putinofrussia:
The same thieves that had a lot of money to save Nigeria then but embezzled everything are lying that they want to save Nigeria when its money has dwindled.
Obasanjo and his cohorts built 2 power stations (which were Olorunsogo and Omotosho both in Lagos and Ogun states) out of $16 billon (which is like almost $80 billion today)and gulped the remaining money till date.
If not for the cost of living problem,which is global and the insecurity that started during their time and grown into this monster (that I know that this govt will overcome),
this Tinubu govt is head and shoulder above them in infrastructures,Education,Health,Social Welfare etc.
No sane Nigeria will vote for thieves to come and do what they know best.

Oga gaslighting no dey work. Go and look for another format

chopnaira:
Yes oooo. Lol
I saw posters of Atiku as President and Makinde as vice.

Oga go and rest jare. Nothing like that

Tjra:
All the wolves trying to unseat one man. This man called Jagaban must be very powerful. He's just giving them sleepless nights.

Meanwhile, where is Obi? Aren't there plates to wash at the arrive?

Is that not how APC came together to unseat GEJ?

MaziObinnaokija:
CAMPAIGN don set. Nah to dey enter one Church/another now. To price gala,cut fish,buy groundnut,wash toilet,plait school chicken hair/fry puff puff

You don't sound intelligent with this comment of yours.

Richtaiwo:
LMAO.

Nigerians or those people.

If potable appears anywhere close to that place, the crowd will be more than 10x of those "Nigerians".

You are really smoking hemp mixed with Cow Dung. Portable the agbero with all the uncouth behavior he exhibits will pull crowd. You say!!!
Please stay off hard drugs.

Layi4real:
you are so dumb I swear.... AI said he is stronger only in education Nd Health but I'm overall HDI Tinubu edges him. So who is now better?
if e sure for u go and ask Ur AI who is the better governor in every year from 1999 till 2007 Nd post the screenshot here if u won't be embarrassed

Now look after my own feedback from chat GPT you think you are clever abi.

Short answer: based on the **available comparative data (especially from Global Data Lab)**, **Peter Obi is generally assessed to have performed better than Bola Ahmed Tinubu on HDI-related indicators during their respective governorships**—but there are important caveats.

---

## What the data actually says

A comparative study using subnational data (by Global Data Lab) looked at:

* **Human Development Index (HDI)**
* Health index
* Education index
* Income (GNI per capita)
* Life expectancy

It compared:

* Anambra State under Obi (≈2007–2014)
* Lagos State under Tinubu (≈1999–2007)

### Key finding

* Obi’s Anambra **recorded stronger improvements across all major human development indicators**, including HDI. ([switchnigeria.com][1])
* The same analysis concluded that **Anambra outperformed Lagos in those metrics during those periods**. ([DDM News][2])

---

## Why Obi appears stronger on HDI metrics

HDI is driven by **health, education, and income outcomes**, not just infrastructure or revenue.

Research findings suggest that under Obi:

* Education outcomes improved significantly
* Health indicators (e.g., access, outcomes) improved
* Income and poverty-related indicators saw measurable gains

Meanwhile, Lagos under Tinubu:

* Achieved major **economic and structural reforms** (tax system, IGR growth, urban development)
* But those don’t always translate immediately into **HDI gains**, especially in a large, unequal megacity

---

## Important caveats (this is where nuance matters)

### 1. Different starting points

* Lagos was already **far more urbanized and complex**
* Anambra had more “room to grow” in HDI metrics (catch-up effect)

### 2. Scale and population pressure

* Lagos: massive population, inequality, migration pressure → harder to improve HDI averages
* Anambra: smaller, more manageable system

### 3. Time periods differ

* Tinubu governed earlier (1999–2007), when:

* Nigeria’s data systems were weaker
* Post-military transition challenges were bigger

### 4. Policy focus differences

* Tinubu: **economic foundation + institutional reforms**
* Obi: **fiscal prudence + social sector improvements**

These are different development models.

---

## Bottom line

* **On strict HDI-type indicators (health, education, income):**
👉 Obi comes out ahead in the available comparative data.

* **On broader governance impact (economy, infrastructure, long-term state capacity):**
👉 Tinubu’s supporters argue Lagos’ transformation had deeper structural effects.

---

## Final takeaway

If your question is narrowly about **HDI performance at the point they left office**, the evidence leans toward:

> **Peter Obi performed better on human development metrics.**

If you expand the question to **overall governance impact**, then it becomes much more debatable and depends on what you value (human welfare vs economic transformation).

---

If you want, I can break down the actual HDI numbers year-by-year for Anambra vs Lagos so you can see the gap clearly.

It's mutual you are also dumb as well. See bro HDI is basically health care and Education nothing like overall there. You.deliberately tried to alter the search criteria for chatGPT to use, you are not as smart ad you think bro.
See analysis from deepseek based on HDI metrics as at when they handed over and left office.

Based on the available data, there is no direct comparison of Human Development Index (HDI) scores for Peter Obi and Bola Tinubu’s tenures as governors. However, by looking at alternative metrics like poverty, health, and fiscal management, a clear contrast emerges.

🩺 Peter Obi (Anambra, 2006–2014)

Obi focused on systemic reforms and social investments, earning international recognition for human development despite accusations of neglecting "visible projects."

· Social Investment: Anambra became Nigeria’s best-performing state in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) under Obi, specifically in health and education .
· Fiscal Priority: He inherited a state the UNDP had abandoned due to mismanagement but restored trust by prioritizing pension debts (paying ₦33 billion owed to retirees) over "monuments" .
· The Poverty Debate: While a political rival claims poverty rose from 41.4% to 53.7% during his term, Obi's supporters argue his successor's later success (reducing poverty to 14.8%) was built on Obi's "invisible" foundational work .

📊 Bola Tinubu (Lagos, 1999–2007)

Tinubu prioritized Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) and economic transformation . While this was successful, its direct translation to HDI was less dramatic.

· Economic Gains: IGR jumped from ~₦14 billion to over ₦80 billion annually.
· Human Development Outcome: Despite making the state richer, "Lagos’s human development story was far less inspiring," with HDI barely improving due to inequality, slums, and overstretched public services .
· Legacy: Critics argue the focus on collecting revenue didn't translate into immediate gains in living standards for the average resident, creating a "revenue illusion" .

⚖️ The Verdict

Based on the metrics of "available resources" vs. "HDI parameters":

· Peter Obi performed better specifically on human development outcomes (health, education, poverty reduction) relative to the poor fiscal state he inherited.
· Bola Tinubu excelled in economic transformation (revenue generation) , though the translation into human well-being lagged behind the fiscal growth.


This is why I said you are not that clever. You tried to manipulate the outcome of the search on chatGPT by saying "who performed better individually in HDI" it doesn't work that way the correct search criteria is " who performed better in HDI parameters as at when they left office as governors"

Yorubademon001:
When he was attacking the ruling party you are not in nigeria or when he was fighting for your coward brother kaun he not playing a hatched job then abi? you guys should continue fooling yourself and be running away from the truth

End

Which truth are we running away from. He is doing a job of disorganising the opposition.

Saturnalia:
Haba! Nigeria has been in soup since your people orchestrated the first Coup D’etat that derailed the glorious destiny of Nigeria in 1966.

Now, if you do not want your so-called “Jagudas” to operate a one party State, all you need do is gather all the disgruntled elements among your people to intensify their bullying & campaign of calumny against others (whose support they need so badly to foist your overnight Messiah) whom according to your people (is Angel Michael and not a member of the Association of Jagudas) on Nigeria.

Una go learn by fire by force.

So Ademoyega and Fola Oyewole are his people abi. Bro stop this nonsense, it no longer sells again.

Wickedfact:
.


One by one. Don't trample on each other.

Dude what is your point in this?

Basic123:
Stale

Look for new song

Oga just zip it abeg. You have nothing to say.

Counterigbolies:
this your bullshit is stale n u should b ashamed to drop it

Anytime he criticizes tinubu he's an angel but anytime he criticizes your packaged fraud then he's suddenly working for tinubu

This your modus operandi don cast

Oga you don't need to gaslight people. The thing is why is Sowore not attacking the ruling party, why is he fixated on attacking the opposition? what are his plans for the country? He is playing a hatchet job.

chiiraq802:
When I saw a thread about Obi's beautiful plan for Northern Nigeria, I shock, so the beautiful plan Obi get for ndigbo pipo na to build Beer 🍻 factory...

Try and grow up and stop talking like a kid.

P1PrinceKT:
IPOB has in cold blood killed numerous innocent people including Ahmed Gulak a young and vibrant Northern Lawyer and politician. A young woman and her 4 children, many abokis that were doing business in the Southeast were brutally killed because of their religious affiliation or tribe. Is that one not terrorism?

How many police men were killed by them at check points?
How many police stations were raided and burnt 🔥 down by them.

They are involved in countless number of ritual activities thereby kidnapping innocent people for their cult activities as well as possession of illegal arms.

They are proscribed by government due to this criminal behaviors.

The movement reignited immediately after the removal of Jonathan's Government from office in 2015.... Causing wide suspicion the movement was tribally motivated.

They enforced sit-at-home order there by killing who disobeys it.

They have been spreading lies and hatred towards a particular tribe/religion just like what happened in Rwanda in 90s through online Radio Biafra calling for mass murder of Northerners/Fulanis and Muslims

IPOB deserves to be terrorists.


International communities might not know all this details probably because they're surrounded by IPOBs sympathizers in diaspora they work with what they tell them.

Dude even the police couldn't prove that IPOb killed gulak so cool down with the lie. Radio Kudirat also spread lies too about other tribes during Abacha era but they were not called terrorists. Oga look for another scope this one has failed.
