Why would the power system fear Obi?

1. Obi speaks of consumption to production, what exactly does Anambra produce apart from Hero beer?

2. Obi claims to be squeaky clean, why did he hide money in a tax haven under Gabriella Investments that got exposed in the Pandora papers? People who hide funds in such places do so to avoid taxes. Why was Obi avoiding taxes? This shell company was opened while Obi was governor.

3. Obi admitted to saving Anambra state money in a bank where he was shareholder. Saving money in a bank means the bank had depositors' funds that could be used for loans or investments whose profits increased dividends held by shareholders. Can Obi show the public his dividends earned before, during and after his tenure as governor?

4. What are Obi's legacy projects? He claimed to want to lift northerners out of poverty. But statistics prove that poverty index was worse during his tenure, compared to others.

No one is afraid of Obi. Obi could not manage Labour Party, Obidient Movement, Kenneth Okonkwo, Datti Baba Ahmed, Aisha Yesufu, campaign funds, Peter Akah, Morris Monye, and so many others. Infact, he is hardly proud of his record in Anambra and keeps referencing Malaysia, Indonesia, China, Bangladesh and Rwanda.

He even advised Tinubu to copy reforms in Argentina which led Argentina to a ditch.

Obi has no manifesto, he has no plans, he has no ideas; give him microphone and watch him say things to ruin himself. If those promoting him love him so much, why didnt they vote for his party in local elections?

Don't mind the op and co , they think everyone is dumb like them .

zoedew:
All talk! Smooth tongue. Doing the things he just outlined would require untangling red tapes which would certainly take more than a year. He is not governing as a military dictator who can decree things to be done immediately. The timeline he gives clearly shows that he is either not for real or has a poor understanding of how government works world over.

Don't mind them , he forgot to tell us how he intends to fund the repairs of the refineries, and how much it will cost and how long it will take, everything he is saying will take more than 3 years to get done ,so when during his tenure will he startselling fuel at 200 naira , also will he and his other colleagues offering cheap fuel ,will they reverse the deregulation of diesel as Nigeria has not subsidised since Gej era ,they should please tell us their finances projection for all these promises they are making.

If the usa or West wanted to remove Tinubu they dont need a PR firm to do it , unfortunately the opposition especially atiku is not ready for elections .

I like the way they tactically handled fifa , going forward nff boards will know that the days of banking on fifa to stay in office and mimanange football are gone.

Unfortunately the West won't allow us buy drones from Iran, we need to find a way to reverse engineer Iranian drones for ourselves.

Streetinvestor2:
When u say data boys have no iota of investment. The cost of production of a barrel based on H2 2026 by oil companies was not up 17 dollars for any local player .stop sharing false information about something u don't know.Infact aradel was as low as 10 dollars

Lies, lies , lies , no oil company in Nigeria produces crude for 10 dollars or less .

experts:
I think you didn't pay attention to his position, especially the main announcement of his policy position.

Hashim made it clear that as producer of crude, we can't allow domestic petrol be dictated by international benchmark.

That's insane and no oil producing country does that.

His calculation is based on actual cost of producing crude, refining and transportation.

It's just like a farmer who produce 100 bags of beans.

If his households eat 20 bags, you can't claim to be selling to your household, just because beans prices rises in the market.

Domestic consumption should be benchmark based on actual cost of production, not international price

Unfortunately oil is not beans , you have jv partners and nnpc doesn't own 100% stake in all oil wells , so they can't just set domestic price like that, see after all these calculations the gbenga guy will still realise he needs money to pay the jv partners to be able to discount crude for refining and also will need dollars to be able to defend the naira to dollars rate of 500 naira to a dollar .

In economics it's called alternative forgone.

AlbertNewton:
Most people don't realize Obi can only win if Atiku is in the race. Likewise, Atiku can only stand a chance to win if Obi is in the race. None of them can defeat Tinubu one-on-one.

The type of assignment tinubu has given the opposition since 2023 they are yet to still solve it few months to election, this one pass further maths oh !

If Tinubu were to be a lecturer many students will have carry over .

Nothing in those documents states fbi or dea are ready to drop any incriminating documents, SMH, this guy scammed atiku.

Until we have a proper census the north will continue to allocate bogus figures to themselves.

Why was bread not 7500 when we had subsidy
Bread increased by over 300% when subsidy was removed. Your prediction is actually the other way round in reality

You celebrate your ignorance daily on this forum

Between 1999 and 2015 when pdp and subsidy was available, the price percentage of a loaf of bread went up by over 700% with your so called subsidy .

DeLaRue:
Also, the day Mr Atiku is declared winner, the value of the naira will collapse to around N1600, and within a week, it will head towards N1800, as foreign investors will scamper out of the country.

The world bank, African Development Bank, IMF, USA, EU, UK and every serious country and institution in the world is against fuel subsidy especially in a country like Nigeria thar has endemic revenue problems that dates back several decades.

Mr Atiku claims he knows better than all of them.

They will so punish the naira that by the time it is trading at more than N2000 to 1 Usd, and the price of a loaf of bread is N3500, and a bag of rice is N150,000 Nigerians will beg for subsidy to be taken away again, but it would be too late.

The international community and institutions will look away. Nobody has time for an unserious country.

Nigeria will be on its own then, facing a Zimbabwe-type collapse.

You people should continue. No problem. We sidon dey look.

You said bread will be 3500. Bro bread will be 7500 for starters .

budaatum:
Actually, 53 billion dollars is very small money in the scheme of things, but it's still quite a lot of money for Nigeria to have in reserve since we hardly ever have that amount in reserve.

Think of it this way. Imagine you never ever had ₦10k in your account, and one day find you have ₦10k in your account. You are still poor relative to most, but I bet you'd feel richer than you ever had.

You are right though

dederocs:
All these makes no sense if the people enjoy no benefit from the huge wealth, even security is not assured.

So 53 billion dollars is huge ?lol this is exactly why Nigeria has struggled for years cos any small money wey enter cbn , both the masses and elites find ways to quickly spend and squander it .

If your external reserves is not up to 300 billion dollars you are not rich oh!

honesttalk21:
The figures tell a clear story. Jonathan’s roughly five years cost about $35–40bn in petrol subsidies, averaging around $7bn a year. Buhari’s eight years cost about $26bn, or $3.25bn annually. Buhari’s headline naira total can look larger, but that is misleading because the naira had depreciated sharply. In dollar terms, Jonathan’s administration spent roughly twice Buhari’s annual rate. Tinubu, over three years in office, has spent $0 on petrol subsidies since their removal, while still incurring other energy-security spending. Not taking anything from any of them, they did their individual bests through the situations.

Thank you, the other guy was trying to whitewash subsidy without asking where Nigeria will source money to run subsidy properly.

Kukutente23:
That's GEJ'S problem
The question is why you railed against it then and why you support same thing now

Lol unfortunately you showed your lack of sense , it's now suddenly gej problem for wanting to do exact things apc did years later .

Unlike you I know exactly why apc and Tinubu kicked against subsidy removal back then , part of what they asked for was an audit and also for working refinery so nigeria won't be import dependent.

Guess what ?apc delivered the working refinery by backing Dangote and having a stake in the business , they also delivered the PIA act before finally removing subsidy .
See screenshot of point number 3 in Tinubu's letter to gej in 2012 and fact check if it has not been delivered or not under apc .

dominique:
Goal disallowed!

Which club do you support?

Kukutente23:
GEJ left reserves at $38bn
And bread was never 1 million naira under him neither did exchange rate spiral to abysmal levels
APC destroyed this country. They took bread from 150 to 2000 and exchange rate from 220 to 1800 and now hovering at around 1300
It was same APC who resisted subsidy removal under GEJ that are now preaching about the benefits of subsidy removal
It is that hypocrisy they used to destroy the country along with barefaced looting

Oga answer the question why did gej want to remove subsidy since according to you he had a war chest full of coins to afford the fake lifestyle for Nigerians, was it apc that attempted to remove same subsidy in 2012 when nigeria was flush with cash ?

Kukutente23:
Foreign reserve was $65bn in 2009 and there was subsidy
Bread was even cheaper when we had subsidy than now that we don't
On both counts you don't have a point
No foreign institution ever borrowed Nigeria money for subsidy. That's the lie they fill your head with from APC WhatsApp group. Subsidy especially under Buhari was being paid directly from NNPC accounts. It was called under recovery then. Even Tinubu paid subsidy through same NNPC and called it energy security
AI is not a finance minister. You're thinking at the level of Sowore who wants a drone to be His minister for defence

Thank God the first person who tried to fully remove subsidy was Gej , so what happened to the $65b he inherited? Pls come and tell us ?
Cos you people told us apc destroyed the country , so explain why the good govt under gej wanted to remove subsidy after all they could afford it with 65 billi in the account

clarocuzioo:
The excesses the governors are looting, the excesses passed in our budget of criminality, the excesses looted at the FG and local govt level, if well managed and accounted for, is more than enough to pay the discount.
Remind me again how much the former account general looted. Remind me how much mains looted, remind me how much Beta Edu looted just in few months of this administration that Tinubu rewarded her with a campaign role?

The excesses where did it come from? Was it not after subsidy was removed they had excess? No governor is owing salary unlike before 2023 thats already an established fact .

because you people heard foreign reserves is now 53 billion dollars you guys think nigeria is rich abi , dont worry if atiiku enters and does what he promised you guys will end up buying bread 1 million naira

Cos this time no foreign institution will borrow Nigeria money to use for subsidy.

Even AI does not agree with Atiku’s plan.

clarocuzioo:
That's a flawed arguement. Who says FG cannot be buying petrol from Dangote at a subsidized rate?

And where will fg get money to pay the margin discounted ? Pls enlighten us .

bigpicture001:
The health sector using the unions tried to blackmail obi into very exorbitant payments for doctors union..he fought back..by

Re furbishing and cooperating with health institutions owns by the churches ,they took over the general healthcare of the state also in subsidized manner ..he rehabilitated a lot of churches related hospitals and signed management partnership with them as a state government..

The health care system was not affected, the doctors continues to stand their ground ,he continues to build alternative health care system..

The strike was only called off when the doctors became tired and feared their replacement ,not really by sacking but by irrelevance....so in that OBi won and should be praised by the people and not castigated..

Today in Anambra we have a lot of church related govt like hospitals also very bigs and. Does a lot of special operations...till date they refused to be integrated into the doctors guide..as serve as parallel alternative to the frequent striking doctors..

Anambra is better for it

Lies ,,lies, lies, the Federal and state governments agreed on an upgrade in allowances and salary for medical doctors , obi said he can only pay 60% and not the agreed fees.

2023 is long gone bro , you guys cant whitewash obi , we've gone to verify and thanks to AI we have discovered Obi is a fraud.

givedemwotowoto:
We all know what happened with the strike so we know Sowore is trying to score a cheap political point.

This is What Happened

Peter Obi wanted to reform Anambra’s health sector, and he was met with fierce resistance from those who benefited from the old system. But he refused to cower to intimidation or cave in to their demands.

He pushed ahead with the reforms and built partnerships with churches and voluntary agencies to strengthen healthcare delivery across the state.

What happened afterwards?

Anambra emerged as the best performing state in the South East in immunisation/polio eradication, earning a $1 million award from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The state also remained polio-free for 5 years.

Peter Obi then added additional govt funding and channelled the award money into building 10 maternal and child healthcare centers, mostly in Anambra villages.

Obi that was seated could not counter sowore, it is you , 50 boys on their way crew member that is helping him rewrite history, are you not ashamed?

Dem knack person jazz , this one dey recommend medical

AMINDA:
Good. Everyone should contest and test their strengths. No one should ask the other to step down for them. We are in a democracy. If Atiku of the ADC steps down for Obi who is in the NDC, will Obi also ask Tinubu of the APC to step down for him?

Your god atiku won't win , the earlier you get this reality the better for you , obi is doing him a big favor by telling atiku to read the room, the south will not vote another northerner.
