And ignore admonitions in the process.
Realise yourself later and start apologising

Pakute:
The last time you suspended Fr. Mbaka and demoted him from his larger congregation to a remote church, yet it doesn't stop his prophecies from coming to pass.
He has cursed Peter Obi and Nothing can reverse it.

NaijaFutbol:
Expected a stiffer and sterner action.

This is manageable though

otipoju:
Do you need an NGO to practice philanthropy?

Obi has given out to noble ventures in hundreds of millions. Built public buildings and donated without fan fare. Obi na your mate?

AntiMahdi:
Everyone is talking about his stinginess bit not one single person has done testimony on his behalf.

Forget story.

Its his money . Agreed. His prerogative. Agreed. But he should have a conscience of giving if he has empathy given the poverty and hunger in the land.

AntiMahdi:
As much as I subscribe to the Widow's mite in providing charity without noise, Obi to me has not done much given his huge wealth.

I don't expect him to do an Obi Cubana style give away, and I do know that idiots like Mbaka exist to extort from the wealthy, but Obi no try.

So many people have alluded to his stinginess but not one has come out on his philanthropy.

The man is not a giver.

Period.

AntiMahdi:
All his financial prudence and yet he has no philanthropic NGO to his name.


The man is rich but refuses to break bread.

That in my book is stinginess.

Skyview01:
Wtf is " The Morning Sunshine" and what is her relevance to ndigbo in general. What makes her opinion special?

I know know Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and his father Louise Ojukwu.

I know Ojukwu that prosecujted an unwinnable war out of emotions without careful planning which led to the death of millions of innocent Igbos.

I know the Ojukwu who ripped little kids from their parents to be conscripted to fight in a stupid and unwinnable war.

I know Ojukwu who ran away to Ivory Coast instead of standing by his idealogies and fighting like a man.

You want me to go on!

NO APOLOGIES, PLEASE.
On Peter Obi’s supposed ‘Stinginess’....

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, when the Ikemba and I asked if he was expecting another item of luggage, and 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 dollars 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 caliber 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 dollars, 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 dollars.
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.

Golan007:
You actually believe he'll be president.

Thanksful:
If labor has a governorship candidate in Ekiti. Obi should be there to campaign for him or her. It's not late. He should go to Ekiti and do the needful.

https://twitter.com/AishaYesufu/status/1536766894597976065?t=zTLCawcDjzebjEkQSYEJrw&s=19[/quote]What is he doing in Ekiti??
The Guber Candidate (Flag Bearer) collapsed his structure and left the party even before Obi Joined the Party.
So, what else??
LP doesn't have a candidate any longer in the Ekiti Election.

Afamed:
Nobody wants to associate with an apprentice presidential candidate.
9months to election. A 2 term Gov. A former VP candidate wants to go and learn how to fix schools and hospitals.

Truly the Pandora thief did nothing as a Gov.
