I disagree.
Is Pete Edochie not an actor?

He was a broadcaster with Anambra State TV and still earns pension

Meaning he was a civil servant

seguno2:
With how many different parties contesting on different socioeconomic governance models

Can you please help me define Democracy...

seguno2:
Is China a democracy

Yes it is

China has many province and municipality and they elect their leaders

One of the horrible occupation for a man is Acting



.

seguno2:
UAE and Saudi Arabia are privately owned kingdoms.

Why did the Chinese and Russians as well as Indians abandon communism and socialism to embrace capitalism

Democratic trend and wave...

Just like Dictators are slowly coming back in Africa

COMPAQ:
british Airways isn't owned by the government. Go check. The Arabs have a certain level of discipline we dont have. Besides its possible those airlines are loss leaders to facilitate tourism. We cant compete with the riches of the arab world unfortunately.

And before you say isn't it the same oil, check Saudi or UAE or Kuwait oil production relative to their population and check our own. Our population is like 4 times those 3 nations combined, but we produce 1.3mln barrels, while Saudi does 9mln barrels. Then add on top that they have used theirs better over along term.

What of our LNG.. what they produce in Bonny

See our own crude is Brent and sells better for higher price

BrickDevo:
British Airways Excluded

Really?!

Honestly my deepest respect to Allen Onyeama

But saying a country has no business doing business is a lie.... Big lie


Etihad, Emirates, Etisalat, ARAMCO


It was Atiku and El Rufai that started that nonsense, selling off National asset under Obasanjo's nose


You want to Diversify the economy from Oyel money then you need to have state owned enterprise

Rumors has it that Airpeace belongs Mama Peace from Nigerian loot... but well na rumors

They are working but it's not like the days of Dora Akunyili

But they are trying

Civil Servants are sometimes non chalant

But u read news that world powers still kept the weapons used from WW2 abi?
Most of u who love taIkiñg about Nigeria in a degrading are reeking of îgñorance and Iàck of exposure.

My uncle works in Bomb disposal squad of Nigerian Police, he was part of his very first duty when he was enlisted back then

Till now they haven't done anything about the live bombs

You don't keep live grenade and explosive , without proper care

You detonate it

Relics kept at museum are not armed and can't explode

Nonexisting1:
You sound logical so let me be logical with you too. I was in Anambra during that election and I can tell you that Obi won it down. Yes people didn't know him but they voted because of Ojukwu influence and the promise of a change from the godfather politics they were used to. Supreme court didn't impose Obi on Anambra people, he actually won that election. Everywhere that time was okuko, the APGA symbol. Coming to Orji Kalu and Rochas, let me leave Umahi for now. Honest Igbos will not vote for those two. They might have voted for Rochas for president before he became governor in my state but he messed up his reputation in that outing. You talk about Falae. Do you know my entire family voted for him against Obasanjo because my father knew someone that knew him and vouched for him. If he had campaigned well in Southeast and if people really knew his antecedents like my father knew him during his SFG days, many Igbos would have voted for him. Truth is that Igbos still vote competence over "he is our brother". Obasanjo was not the best but we Igbos saw that his government was doing well and voted him against Ojukwu even in Ojukwu's Anambra state. Okadigbo was an illustrious Igbo yet they voted Yaradua against him and Buhari because they knew he was better. Many Igbos supported Obi because they knew how Anambra was before he came. If you doubt me, place Rochas or Orji Kalu against someone like Osibanjo or Akinwumi Adesina in an election. In Imo state alone, they will with Rochas and Kalu with over 80% of the total votes cast if done free and fair. Do you know that it was bad that when Anambra monthly allocation came, the godfathers would take lion shares leaving the givernor with little to nothing to govern with. Mbadinuju saw shege in their hands. Ngige only fought because the share they asked him to remit was too big. If they had asked him for about 25% of the monthly allocation, it would've been business as usual and nobody would hear about it. Problem of the Igbos are the elites so whenever you see Igbo elites against someone, follow that person, he must be a good man.

Very interesting analysis, I read every part

I think his PR team should focus on this positivity with verified projects

PoliteActivist:
Have you EVER heard anybody even whisper either of those men is even close to gay

But who will try such... You are talking about richest powerful people

Am not calling them gay

PoliteActivist:
So how come non of the world's richest people is close to being gay??
Just asking

But Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates are divorced and they have non disclosure agreement in their divorce settlement

What are they hiding paying such money

phorget:
Then would you say everything written on Tilumbu or Atiku has all been so glamorous?

So are you saying they are all the same

phorget:
In Nigeria people with ethics and morals dont win elections, we all know how things work in Nigeria so dont make it look like Obi is not a good man.

Go and read what Association of Investigative Journalist of the world said about Peter Obi since he began working for Abacha

It's on Sahara reporter, Premium times, and foriegn media

No be me talk am

These are known political criminals like the ones already ruling Nigeria. You do not wish Nigeria well.


We Igbos will never support these criminals you listed. If those are the kind of Igbos you wish to govern Nigeria, then you do not wish Nigeria well but after partisan politics only.



As for Peter Obi not winning anywhere in Ibadan, it can be understood even though we saw how voters at University Ibadan celebrated Obi winning their polling unit with wide jubilation, but let me just believe what you said for the sake of sanity.


It is not out of order for Tinubu to win Oyo or Ibadan, at least Tinubu is the most popular Yoruba politician just as Obi became for Igbos, so what you said is in order and Ibadan people's vote isn't the determinant of who becomes Nigeria's President.


Peter Obi won the election, if you were observant enough you would have noticed this from the body language of Tinubu, APC and INEC and even APC strong political caucuses.


INEC said Obi came 3rd but the focus of Tinubu, APC, INEC, Judges, APC supporters was on Peter Obi they said came 3rd leaving the man Atiku they claimed came 2nd.


That alone is one of the indicators of who won the election.


Suddenly iREV became confused. INEC stopped uploading results they promised to upload even after months of declaring election results.


INEC refused to release their own copies of LGA results to Obi/LP, saying Obi should go to each LGA in Nigeria to get it, so that time given to file appeal will elapse.



Suddenly Supreme Court ruled that BVAS and iREV are no longer part of our electoral laws and you all think all is well


No wahala sha, good luck to all of you Nigerians and I wish myself And yourself whatever good or bad we wish ourselves and our various tribes

Why didn't Peter Obi supporters and Labour Party present EC8 through certified copy at the court

Why did Labour Party agent sign the results presented by youth coppers accross Nigeria even in front of Military and Police personell

Yeah let's agree to disagree bro

I can only speak for my polling unit, LGA and State

And Obi didn't even get one vote

A copy is on the IREV website of you care to see

Egbeda , Ibadan, Oyo State

Advancedman:
Since 2002 imagine? So Ikeja, Oshodi, mende Ajao has been living on death trap.

It's actually since civil war .. Nigeria just funny

One of the rituals of fame and wealth is homosexuality

It's part of illuminati


Why else did God destroy Sodom and Gomorrah without any Generation left


Children must be limited and restricted to entertainment content, many are diabolic

franchasofficia:
They mocked him when he won 2023 Presidential election that INEC criminally rigged and declared Tinubu as winner.



Honest Nigerians from all tribes and regions know that Obi won 2023 Presidential election.


When PDP was reigning Supreme and in absolute control of federal government and all the agencies, and with Obasanjo and all PDP Presidents doing everything possible to win Lagos state, they couldn't win Lagos state.



Obi that declared his interest to run for President in less than 10 months to the election under a structure less party that had no LGA Chairman, no Councilor, no House of Assembly member, no House of Reps member, no Senator, no Governor, didn't even had offices in all the LGA's in Nigeria defeated Tinubu in Lagos state where Tinubu reigns supreme even with Tinubu's party being the ruling party both at state and federal levels.


Obi defeated Tinubu in Abuja the FCT.


Obi defeated Tinubu in far away Nasarawa, Rivers and several other states.


Does it mean that it was only Igbos that voted for Obi in Lagos for him to win? If that is so, then it means Igbos are the highest population in Lagos which is not true. So you see?



Leave the talk of Obi will never be President for God to decide because neither you nor myself is God. We are only mere mortals and can only wish based on our bias emotions, but we must be careful not to wish things that may turnaround to hurt our own personal life for no justifiable reason other than to shalaye online

If you remember clearly, Obi became a Governor based on Supreme Court ruling, even in his State and not popular vote, his own house tried to impeach him twice

Jonathan came to his rescue

That's Anambra State that he is from

See , I am swearing with my life right here and now, Obi didn't even win Anywhere in my location in Ibadan, he is so unpopular that he never even had a radio gingle or TV campaign except for Twitter

I know Lagos Igbo voted him and that's normal

But I will say this again,

Do not field Obi

Umahi, Rochas Okorocha, Orji Uzor Kalu

This are political brands and name we know down here

Remember 1999, Yoruba wanted Falaye, Nigerians wanted Obasanjo

Only a retarded clown will keep comparing Lagos that has existed even before 1960 to a state that was created in 1993 🤦‍♀️

I know you are still a kid, so I won't join conversation with you

Peter Obi did his best based on available resources in Anambra as at when he was the Governor.


Anambra was one of the most poorly governed and disorganized states in Nigeria if not the worst before Peter Obi came in and brought permanent changes that set Anambra on the right path.


Did you know the kind of cabals Peter Obi fought as a Governor? Obi ended godfatherism in Anambra Governorship. Obi was bombed. Anambra state government house was bombed by Anambra godfathers Obi was fighting to stop. They removed Obi with House of Assembly members twice and he fought to reclaim it. He was never allowed to have peace or even focus because he refused to share money but chose to save and invest and work for Anambra people.


If you had ever visited or lived in Anambra before 2003, you will be hailing Peter Obi.


Anambra was so rough, disorganized and filled with all manner of criminals, criminality and corrupt practices.


A place called Uper Iweka was a no go area, a hotbed for crime, Obi brought sanity there.


If you don't know where somebody started his life journey, you will never understand when he stands up to give testimony for small things he achieved later.


If Dangote's son is testifying for buying a new private jet and a new industry in Germany for instance, that doesn't make Tunde or Emeka born into poor family celebrating his newly purchased 2004 Toyota Corolla a failure.



You cannot compare Anambra state with Lagos state. Lagos has been in existence for decades even before Anambra creation as a state was ever conceived.


Lagos has enjoyed decades if not centuries of special privileges even before Tinubu was born.


Just recently, Nigerian government secured a loan to start a huge project to build a mega highway road from Lagos to Abidjan in Ivory Coast, that is part of the uncountable special privileges Lagos has enjoyed since Nigeria's existence even during colonial masters era.



So don't compare Lagos development or progress with Anambra, Lagos is richer than many countries and ought to even be a special Island controlled/governed by Nigerian government or small country of it's own.



And lastly, in life, we keep improving from how we were yesterday.



That you graduated with a 2nd class lower from the university doesn't mean you will forever remain a second class lower person in the real life sectors.



Many people improve and become a better version of themselves as years goes by, while some become worst version of their better self some years back. That is why in life you must pray for the grace to finish well and not start well and finish badly

I know you Ibos want a president, which is fair

Do not attempt to repeat the mistake of fielding a guy like Obi in 2027

Don't try it

Don't even sell him, because 3rd he won't get


If only you can listen to radio station in Ibadan and see people calling to mock Obi

You people must think very less of us sha!!


Smallest state in Nigeria Lagos and Anambra

High GDP and IGR Anambra

Trade Capital of SouthWest Lagos, Trade Capital of SouthEast Anambra

Chris Ngige and others Governed Anambra and Obi isn't the first Governor

Obiano has a resort, an airport, signature bridge, an international conference center

What does Obi have

75 billion yeilding 10% intrest saved in Fidelity and Diamond bank while workers are not paid


.

😊


No wonder Anambra State is now Paris, and Agulu is Las Vegas

Just should you know, a President ride around with many dignified people especially security guard in various cars

Procurement act states that all Presidential fleet be auctioned off after 4 years and new ones bought, because of millieage and cost of maintenance

Nigerian Navy budgeted for a Presidential yatch not office of the President or National Budget and planing

A President earns #1,250,000 per month, Do you honestly think Tinubu needs such money?!

Advert daily on TVC and TheNation Newspaper even rooms in his hotel daily can cover that

He stays in Defense House and not Aso Rock, he only goes to work daily at the Vila (which I hate as it cost more in logistics and traffic)

Remi Tinubu doesn't need a car, The Office of the first lady of Nigeria, the management of Aso Rock Presidential Vila needs opreational vehicles... Seyi Tinubu cruises a Lambo, Tinubu has a Gulfstream jet parked,
