Politics › Re: Sowore Tackles Peter Obi At NBA Conference Over 13-Month Anambra Strike by bentenny(m): 6:37pm On Aug 24
Doctors’ strike

Doctors employed by the Anambra State government did go on a prolonged strike lasting about 13 months (roughly from early 2011 to late February 2012). It centered on the state’s refusal to fully implement the federal Consolidated Medical Salary Structure (CONMESS). The government offered a roughly 60% increase instead of full parity. The strike was called off after an MoU was signed; a technical committee was set up, and doctors returned to work, citing the hardship on patients.

Peter Obi has publicly addressed this. He said public hospitals were dysfunctional, funding was not producing results (ambulances disappeared, facilities remained poor), there were no accredited schools of nursing/midwifery/health technology when he took office, and he shifted toward partnerships with faith-based/mission organizations to revive facilities and training institutions. He framed the industrial actions (including with teachers/doctors) as resistance to reforms that challenged the previous order.

Outcomes he and supporters cite include building or upgrading facilities (e.g., Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu Teaching Hospital), getting multiple health training institutions accredited, and later awards such as Bill & Melinda Gates recognition related to health work.



Lecturers / education sector strikes

There was industrial action by lecturers at Anambra State University (and broader Southeast state universities) around 2010–early 2011. Reports describe a strike lasting roughly 5–6 months (starting around July 2010 and called off in January 2011), driven by demands for better funding, infrastructure, and salary parity closer to the 2009 federal ASUU agreement. It was not a continuous 13-month lecturers’ strike matching the doctors’ duration. Obi’s government negotiated increases (reports mention offers around 60–80% of federal levels at points), raised subvention, and the strike ended after agreements involving stakeholders.


Separately, there were teacher-related disruptions tied to Obi’s major education reform: returning mission schools.
Education funding / “didn’t subsidize”
This part of the claim is not accurate based on available records. Obi’s administration did not run a pure free-education model across the board in the style of some later policies, and school fees existed in places (with criticisms of fee hikes or payment structures at times). However, it actively funded and subsidized education, especially after returning schools to their original mission owners.

Key documented actions include:
Returning ~1,040 primary (and related secondary) schools to churches/missions in 2011.

Providing substantial direct funding/subventions for maintenance and rehabilitation: an initial ~₦6 billion package distributed over months based on school numbers, plus later tranches (e.g., additional hundreds of millions to billions reported in subsequent years for rebuilding, libraries, labs, generators, sports equipment, etc.). Government continued paying teacher salaries and providing budgetary support.

Investing in infrastructure, computers, and other inputs; supporting private universities with annual grants in some accounts.
Results frequently cited: Anambra rose from near the bottom in national WAEC/NECO rankings to top or near-top positions in subsequent years.

Obi has described the return-and-fund model as necessary because direct government management of schools and hospitals was not delivering results despite spending. Supporters point to improved exam performance and infrastructure.

Broader context on performance
Obi’s 2006–2014 tenure (with interruptions) is often praised for relative fiscal prudence, infrastructure, education ranking improvements, and health partnerships, alongside the industrial disputes noted above.

Claims of total non-performance or zero subsidy ignore the documented funding to mission schools and other investments.

dessa is ugly, not even an argument
From experience with women,I highly doubt it.

There is one babe I used to vibe with in my first year in the university.
Facially,she was below average and no physical embodiments that I could get attracted to.

Fast forward to my 3rd year,I was going to my department and a lady just called me from behind and I could not believe my eyes.

Boobs full and perky,backside fat and bouncy.
No makeup but the face looked so enhanced and beautiful as if she went through a top to bottom transformation.

So it's very possible for a lady to get transformed with the right physical exercise,food and cream.

Just a footnote,
She didn't do a single surgery.

It DOES NOT MATTER TO ME. Except that woman is a bad woman, then it'd matter. Multiple sex partners should mean nothing in this day and age.
Being a good woman but still having multiple sex partners?
That's a conflicting and bizarre combo.

No woman no matter this age and day will ever allow her son or brother to be entangled with such woman.

The moment a woman has multiple sex partners,she becomes a man sexually.
Women by default are wired to only be connected emotionally to one partner.

These days boys just got phones just to browse Nairaland and X.
Not even a single research.
Well I guess I expected too much from a group behaving like glorified Zoombees.😎

In June 2026 interviews (including on Trust TV and Arise News), Ikenna Azomchine stated he had long parted ways with Obi.

It's interesting Ikenna still refers himself as an 'Obi'dient general' instead of a BATfied general.
it implies that Obi is still popular to him😆😆

But who does the judging??
Who calls women who've had multiple sex partners second hand? Cuz I've never called any woman that, nor have I heard any woman around me call women that. Let's not forget that men have been in charge of society from time immemorial. Society doesn't have to stay the same way forever.
Most Women won't say so until that same lady with a history of multiple sex partners wants to marry their son, brother and male cousin.

Its a Nigerian thing or let me say Africa. Its a trend that navigates quietly, but once someone(probably a female) accidentally looseguard to it, it comes to the public and she may be blamed.

Let's not pretend about it. Females are judge more when it comes to intimacy.

That is why you see fathers protect the girl-child more than the boys.
Not just Africa,most advanced countries also hold that view esp the women.
Ladies are valued mostly by their sexual exclusivity and body count.
The higher their body count,the lesser the value.
Men,however,are often valued for status,resources,physical formidability.
This is why there is less scrutiny when men engage in sex in the open than women.

Maybe the idea of bringing new housemates to contest for the prize with the initial first housemates died out because viewers has already choosen who will win the prize from the first guys in the house which will make the new housemates look abandoned.

The only thing they can do is bring more gambits(guest) as you called dem to stay in the house but not gunning in for the prize.

The last time new real housemates were introduced to the show was 2021.
Queen, JMK and Michael.
Let's be honest,queen really tried as she made the house very hot because it seemed the house was going through a peace path.

On the topic of bringing in new housemates,

They will come now and in a couple of days their novelty will wear off, the energy of the house will swallow them and in a couple of weeks time, they will be cannon fodder for older housemates to put up for eviction and the audience won't vote for them as they have already picked their favourites for the season.

Except they have someone that will be exceptional enough to sway the viewers, I don't really see the appeal of it.

They will probably either return the evicted housemates or bring in fake ones/guests if they ever decide to go down that road.
Just bring guests or fake HMs.

See as all of them boys and girls gather for salon dey gossip about Nomy. Plot twist. Imagine Nomy just walks into that salon to hear everything. Most of these people no go get the liver to talk these things in front of her. Them go quickly change topic. Godessa and Sheba especially undecided
I was going to ask why they were talking about her as if biggie has approved her VE.

Was this not the same phyna who went to their reunion and lied about her own ex-HM chichi.
She had concocted a lie that chichi poisoned a friend.
When the truth came out,phyna went silent.
I'm not saying it may not be true.
However,it's important to take what she says with a pinch of salt.

It's obvious the production crew that recruited most of the HMs didn't do a proper medical evaluation of the younger ones.

Look at Sabrina of last season that left due to an infection kept insisting she was fine and wanted to go back to the house but production refused.

This life no just balance.
