At the meeting of EU finance ministers on Tuesday, about a third of the 27 participants said that Europe would need to introduce new measures to support the most vulnerable participating countries, the sources say, otherwise the inhabitants of these states will stop supporting aid to Kyiv. As a result, the ministers agreed to allocate only 1 billion euros to Ukraine from the aid package announced in May. Most of the package is blocked due to disagreements between the Commission and the German authorities on the structuring of aid.

In May, the European Commission announced its intention to participate in the restoration of Ukraine, which may require up to 750 billion euros, according to Kyiv's estimates. This project may cause even more heated discussion among EU members who do not have a clear plan for where to get such funds. According to sources familiar with the discussion, the Commission’s proposal scared away many EU members who are concerned not only about the scale of the promised aid, but about possible corruption abuses.

Now, the large financial assistance to Ukraine, which the European Union spoke about is being postponed.
2 months ago, the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, proposed to transfer a loan of 9 billion euros to Ukraine, but so far only the initial tranche of 1/9 of the proposed amount has been agreed upon. The EU expects new economic challenges - a possible complete cessation of Russian gas supplies and tightening of monetary policy risks dumping the region into a second recession in 2 years.

A video of former governor and 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi explaining how he got the funds used to acquire his home situated in the United Kingdom after the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) invited him for an inquiry have caused a stir on social media.

Recall that Peter Obi was once invited by the EFCC after leaked files published by Premium Times, showed that Obi operated a foreign account and did not declare it in his asset declaration form provided by the Code of Conduct Bureau.

The former governor, who later denied making any statement on his invitation by EFCC, in a recent video that has surfaced was captured explaining and showing documents of how he acquired his house in the United Kingdom.

Obi Pandora is the guy with the most lie in Nigeria. He can't just live a day without lying.

3ple9iner:
The raw materials used to construct the roads to the farm are they not imported?

like I wonder how you people think. In the case of agriculture how do you expect to export the goods you get without a cargo airport isn't that an infrastructure?

There is no an economy would grow without infrastructure already in place and I know you know this. Companies that left Nigeria to Ghana did that because Nigeria don't have the needed infrastructure.
1) No power supply and the price of diesel was high which would result in increase in cost of production.
2) What about refinery if we had a working refinery, we would make more money.

I can keep on going on and on


Infrastructure comes before the growth of an economy.


And I know you guys know this but just want to keep defending him.

Golan007:
As a farmer, good roads to your farm, construction of silos, bridges, railways, communication etc. would ease and improve your business.

Infrastructure is key.

Chronicbeggers:
As an aboki, he never imagined that he will travel to all those foreign countries in his life until fate answered his prayers through our clueless and weak Goodluck Jonathan. Let the old man be, Some Nigerians can’t have sense in their lifestyle

Durabest:
Poverty mentality is what you just displayed on your post now,you can only brainwash few but not all,why didn't you tell us how developed is their states after their departure?.Tinubu set a platform that will develop his state after his departure and is working till date.Poverty no good at all so for your mind if you have obi as president ur poor life will change abi?

FreeStuffsNG:
Nice.
Even though it is the democratic right of HE Fayose but he should please vote for competency over regional politics. Asiwaju Tinubu deserves his vote because he is the best among them.

Asiwaju Tinubu towers over all of them in terms of competency and illustrous records of feats in public service
Please vote for Asiwaju Tinubu.


All you said is true, but the man is dying. Please let's skip ethnic sentiment for the sake of our Children. Many thanks!


Asiwaju Tinubu is extremely competent and capable to lead Nigeria to greater heights. He is an excellent experienced public administrator and a Patriot to the core.

Asiwaju Tinubu is a brilliant visionary leader who will keep his promise to take Nigeria to greater heights.

I may need to take you down memory lane of his account of stewardship in public office in case you do not know or trying to ignore the significance of Asiwaju's sterling performance in office as a reason he is being rewarded with support today.

As the Executive Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Tinubu recovered what is now called Eko Atlantic from the raging Atlantic ocean Lagos Bar beach coast line flooding (for decades that problem even some of the more developed nations explain away as climate change problems) defied all solutions by FG and the highbrow strategic Victoria Island was deteriorating fast with businesses, embassies, hotels etc exiting VI in droves. During that time, the Atlantic ocean flooding reach the fringes of Ozumba after the flood completely take over Adetokunbo Ademola. Lagos State Government under the brilliant , resourceful and hardworking Asiwaju Tinubu solved that herculean challenge and today, VI is back to its glory.

It was Asiwaju Tinubu that brought back the Lagos Central Business District and Broad street commercial nerve centre of Nigeria back to life after it was abandoned, it's Asiwaju Tinubu who built major roads from Oregun to Lawanson to Igando LASU to as far as Badagry etc.

Asiwaju Tinubu is the one who fixed the horrible waste problem we had in Lagos and that LASTMA and BRT you see was created by Asiwaju. Asiwaju Tinubu was the one who got Lagos State to be part of the owners of Econet and unlike Delta State where the shares were sold and funds pocketed, Lagos State Shares were warehoused with professional investors in the state investment agency called Ibile holdings.

Asiwaju Tinubu increased bursaries to students of Lagos State origin (NULASS) and made public schools free for all Lagosians regardless of your tribe, religion or political party affiliation after his administration had successfully returned missionary schools to their original owners( other states later copied Lagos) . It was during his tenure that Ikeja General Hospital became a teaching Hospital, upgraded most of the clinics to General Hospitals giving free health to the 5 years and below and Lagosians of 65 years and above age group. .

The fund that BRF used to quickly build infrastructures were the LGA funds withheld by Pa Obasanjo and despite that Asiwaju Tinubu never owed salaries.
When the purchase of FG refineries by Alhaji Dangote was cancelled by HE Yardua, Alhaji Aliko Dangote ran to Asiwaju Tinubu after most state governments and governors in the SS gave Dangote a cold shoulder. Today, through the assistance Asiwaju Tinubu gave Aliko Dangote, Dangote Refinery is taking off to help us stop the petrol subsidy killing our naira and public finances.


Asiwaju Tinubu is loyal to those who paid the ultimate price for our democracy and today heroes like Bagauda Kalto, Pa Alfred Rewane, Pa Abraham Adesanya etc are immortalized in Lagos . One of the most memorable achievements of Asiwaju Tinubu for me was helping to stop the blood letting and recurring Hausa-Yoruba/OPC war in Idi Araba and Agege. Those hellish period of unrest defied even the effort of past military state administrators of Lagos but Asiwaju Tinubu was able to solve it.

That Lagos State Government civil service is regarded as the best in Nigeria is due to the hardwork Asiwaju Tinubu did to reform it, created Tutors-Generals offices, improved harmonized pay structure, best pension scheme for civil servants etc.
I can go on and on to educate you on the legacies of Asiwaju Tinubu still standing till today as my reasons for my confidence in Asiwaju Tinubu sir/ma

That's why my appeal goes to you my fellow patriotic Nigerians to please vote for Asiwaju Tinubu.
Please vote for Asiwaju Tinubu.

Tender certificates that were burnt by the military when his house was attacked? Why are some of you so unreasonable? Where do you want him to get the burnt documents from?

LeoDeKing:
Tell us how these categories benefited from his 8-year rule as the gov of Anambra state.

Obi can never be the president of Nigeria.

naija4life247:
Okay.

The Chicago State University already confirmed that you schooled and graduated from the university with Honours.

That's enough for us. Anyone who did not go through Primary and Secondary education cannot survive the rigors of the university studying Business Administration with Accounting option and graduating as a prize winner.

The above is in contrast to a dummy that study a useless course Philosophy and graduated with a 3rd Class. If he has tried studying Sciences, or Engineering or Accounting like Tinubu, the useless idiot would have been expelled in 100 level for awful performance

Factcheck0001:
name one thing Peter obi did better than tinubu as governor

helinues:
This Obi's supporters with their as usual noise.

This same PVC, the 2 leading party have urged their supporters to obtain it long time, infact they might have reserved PVC with INEC and with this extension, it's an opportunity to them to slot in more people, Yet Obi's supporters will make everything looks like they are the only people collecting their PVCS.

Islandlady:
But shebi him and his supporters said he did not have any house in Lagos make una small small they lie sha!

We need to question and criticize our leaders not just accept their lies and whatever they say! That is why they are leaders! Pls don't be a gullible zombie followers!

alcuin:
Most of Obi supporters are too emotional and irrational.

rockmite:
Can these points be facts?


More secrets of Mr Peter Obi unveiled. Tufiakwa
By Igbo Kwenu


APGA cannot mourn the exit of Mr Peter Obi with all these secret findings surrounding him.

1. Those who knew Peter Obi will attest to the fact that he has been a drug dealer beginning from his days as an undergraduate at UNN. He was hardly attending lectures and only managed to graduate with a third class in Philosophy after spending 12 years in the University.

2. His brother in-law who incidentally is one of the hirelings used by him for his nefarious drug trafficking business is currently languishing in jail in far away London . This is the major cause of strain between Obi and his in-laws. It is on record that his closeness to Dubem Obazie was the because he Dubem served jail term for drug trafficking because of Peter.


3. Obi should explain his relationship with former Military Administrator, Governor Ibim Princewill and Col Earnest Kizito Attah of Cross River State whom he helped as a conduit to fleece Cross River State government thus contributing to the under development of the state.

4. Obi should explain to Ndi Anambra the circumstances surrounding his father's death which remains his best kept secret. Before then we can reveal that Obi's father was drowned to death by Obi's associates in the drug trade whom he short-changed in a business deal prompting the mafias to kill the old man whom they drowned bounded hands and feet with bricks round his neck.

5. Given the level of insecurity in Anambra state , ''Saint'' Peter Obi should explain how he expends his security vote since it is on record that he collects over 470 million naira per month as security vote (220 million naira from Local Government and 250 million Naira from the state FAC accounts)

6. Just as Peter Obi professes his Catholicism for political expediency, we ask him to summon the moral courage and explain to Catholic faithful his relationship with the Olumba Olumba Obu (OOO) Cult sect where his wife is a known member. It is also on record that Peter Obi met the wife at a night club in Auchi . The lady had two children from two different men -an Albino and a Ghanaian. The affirmed Catholic is yet to wed his wife in the church.

7. Obi is yet to explain the mystery behind the 250 million naira that was found in the possession of his aides. He is yet to produce the contractor and publish the contractual agreement that stipulates that this very contractor will be paid in cash and also a reference to any other known precedents. Not even the famous late Barkin Zuwo of Kano State paid contractors in cash.

8. Obi should explain why he has continued to loot the resources of the state using his brother, Ndibe Obi, Ejike Onwusogbulu and a certain Chidi Agbapu -a Lagos based stock broker as a conduit for money laundering while the youths in Anambra remain unemployed;

9. Obi was elected governor on the platform of APGA and it is on record that he never convened an APGA meeting thereby destroying the entire party structure. Obi should explain to party faithfuls and loyalists why he destroyed the party;

10. Obi should explain to Ndi Anambra what happened to the state local government allocations and why Anambra under Obi is the only state in Nigeria without elected local government officers in place?
In view of the foregoing, we demand his immediate resignation or face further disclosure of his criminal past and present.

OBAOMO01:
What movement exactly. A movement to a man that have been in the system you claimed to be evil? The same man has been a governor in Anambra state without tangible thing to lay on his achievements. We can see how Anambra remains the best state that attract FDI. The same person that refuse to conduct local government election for good seven years of his administration, same man that was indicted for fraud asset through Pandora? Do you want me to go on... Tell me five reasons why he is better than Tinubu, then I will gladly join your "movement".

trutharena:
Don't deflect the argument, be bold and tell me how Obi is better than any governor that caused the useless fake hype.

They will never tell us what Obi Pandora did, all they will say is that he left bla bla bla.

How can a supposedly wise governor leave such audio money in the state coffers without building infrastructure and improving the life of his people? He couldn't understand that his successor can embezzle all the money but no one can embezzle real project.

Now when Obiano left, the state coffers dwindled so much that Soludo said there is barely anything left. You see that your Pandora is useless?

Tell us his achievement based on the question I asked on my first post.

Chikeluba25:
Granted, Peter left N75 billion in the Coffers with N127 billion debt. Perhaps that’s his forte. He had No idea on what to do with those Billions. He was scared to sanction big projects that will bring Anambra to limelight. All he did in eight ( years of Oil boom and strong economy was save money in the Bank. When he left, he had no much project to his name aside money in the Bank. Perhaps, that wasn’t the reason he became Governor.

In eight ( years, Willie Obiano changed the narratives. He acknowledged that his predecessor left money in the State coffers. Obiano wasn’t an expert when it comes to saving money in the Bank. Instead, a project driven and resulted oriented Governor.

In just 4 years, Nigerian economy went on decline, dollar surged, FAAC and JAAC dropped. While many other State Governors trooped to Abuja for bailout funds and trimmed their wage Bill and workers who they described as redundant. Willie Obiano employed more ndi Anambra into the civil and public service and never owed anyone their salary. While the state of the Nation’s economy was in comatose, Willie Obiano didn’t stop constructing projects and providing succor for the ordinary.

He may not have done so well in urban roads, but he was discerning enough when it comes to rural roads. Many communities never knew what road constructions were prior to Willie Obiano administration, but today, the story has changed. Aside rural roads, He rehabilitated PHCs across Anambra State. He came up with community choose your project initiative and operation light up Anambra State which impacted the entire 180 communities in the State.

In the eight ( years of Peter Obi, he struggled with insecurity, we remember him for the innocent lives of ndi Anambra he ordered Csp James Nwafor to dispatch to their ancestors in his bid to fight insecurity. The dead bodies of Anambra and ala Igbo young youths were thrown into Ezu River and Amansea River, yet the insecurity didn’t stop. Dr. Willie Obiano took the reigns and restored the hope of the ordinary man and would go on to make Anambra the safest State in West Africa for a long period before the recent collapse as a result of IPOB agitation and #EndSARS infractions.

And just like Soludo who said his administration will take off from Okpoko, Willie Obiano did start from Upper Iweka and till date, the effects are still visible in Onitsha and its environs.

In 2014, Anambra had a population below four (4) Million people, but in less than four (4) years, the population surged. There were influx of people into the State as a result of the opportunities that was made available by Willie Obiano administration. Today, Anambra is the second most densely populated State in Nigeria after Lagos state yet with the lowest unemployment figures. You obviously didn’t ask how Willie Obiano did the magic and sustained it for a period of eight ( years.

Anambra IGR was a mess when Obiano took over from Obi. In just two years, Willie Obiano performed the magic and would benefit from the ease of doing business and safe environment he created in the State; Anambra became a leading pack in Internally Generated Revenue. I will still blame the Governor for not being in charge and would only trust a few men with the State Revenue who created windows and would pocket Anambra money; the EFCC must not spare these guys. They were the real virus in Obiano administration.

Willie Obiano sustained the legacy of Peter Obi in Education and even did more. For eight ( years, the standard set by Obi didn’t drop. Money were constantly allocated to Missions to manage schools under their care. This act alone, reduced Private school dominance in Anambra State and returned the glory of public schools.

While you still feel bitter and would want the world to know that Willie Obiano had over 2000 aides; don’t forget to add that thousands won the fight and battle against poverty through that singular initiative. Graduates and bright young population who would have added to the long list of criminals and syndicates in our society were instead absorbed into governance to add their quota to the development of our dear State and in so doing earned values that would last them a lifetime. Many of those are today CEOs, Business developers, political leaders and lots more. Willie Obiano understood so well that in mixed economy and in a society where there are no much opportunities, the Government steps in to shoulder responsibilities. This he did without noise. You may choose to disagree that appointments are not for charity, but let it be on record that the human capital development is not defined by your school of thought alone.

In as much as Governor Soludo wasn’t clear about what he met in the coffer, let it be on record that Willie Obiano left many projects in place that will account for the moneys Obi left for him and these projects when utilized, would yield immediate returns to the State.

Anambra is today an Oil producing State and due for the 13% Oil Derivation entitlement. All were made possible by Dr. Willie Obiano.

While Soludo is declaring the liability he inherited, let him also declare assets he equally inherited. Let the discerning public juxtapose the Assets and Liabilities and be the judge themselves.

The EFCC ordeal of Willie Obiano is a political issue with those he stepped on their toes while in line of service and governance of our dear Anambra State.

Dr. Willie Obiano was rather an introvert who seldom discuss issues and challenges in public media. He would instead take the blames of another’s wrong and shortcoming. If he was an extrovert and microphone friendly, the narratives wouldn’t have been the same, but then, I won’t blame him for things he had no control over.

Willie Obiano deserves commendation not condemnation.

He stole money quite alright but you can't deny the fact that he tried for Anambra, I hope he sorts out his mess with EFCC and curtail that his Agbero wife.

Good day nairalanders. Season greetings to y'all. I'm so angry right now. Please I need mature advice.

My father is not a learned person but he make sure all his children are graduates. My younger brother(last born and only son) rounded up his Nysc few months ago, we're just 2 girls. My elder sis and I. My elder sis is a nurse in Austria (3 years now), she's married with a kid in Austria. My big sister send money home once in 3 months, and I have been the one receiving the money. I share the money exactly as instructed by my big sis. I have never cheated anyone, Infact my Dad and Big sis communicate very well. My Dad trust me so much.

My younger brother is always angry, He said he feel cheated all the time. He shouts and talks to me anyhow like I'm his mate.
Honestly speaking, I gave my younger brother more love and respect that he could ever imagine. When he was serving, he would call telling me he need 10k urgently, sometimes 20k, that he will pay back. Immediately I will send it to him and he would never pay back. Same thing he does to my father.
If we ask him what's he using his allawee for?? He would angrily say so is becus we're sending him "chicken change" that's why we're asking jamb questions.

He said we don't regard him, he called my Dad a SIMP, he said my Dad listen more to my big sis and I....but he don't listen to any of his suggestions.

My brother is a 2:1 (second class upper) graduate in economics from UNIBEN. After his Nysc all he does is to sleep and eat. My Dad's good friend told my brother to come to Lagos and resume work with him. He refused. My Dad ask him if he wants to further his education (masters or professional courses)he said no....Okay follow my Dad to his cement shop and help him (my dad even promised to pay him salary) he refused....I overheard him on a call with a friend and i suspect he's now into yahoo yahoo.

Look at what happened. My big sis sent us money yesterday to celebrate this festive period. She said I should give my brother 50k, I should take 80k and give my father the rest (abt 250k). My Dad is always aware of everything.
I even added 20k out of my money and I transferred 70k to my brother, I was left with 60k (becus she also sent me hair and I plan to sell it becus I already had enough). You can imagine this ungrateful idiot started insulting me, that I cheated him. the fool angrily withdrawn the money from his account and SET IT ON FIRE (70k). He called my elder sister and started warning her saying "if he can't receive the money henceforth, she should stop sending him money again that he's the man of the house".
My Dad gave him a resetting, resounding, hot and dirty slaps. He pulled out a knife, deflated my Dad's car tyres and ran away from the house.

Everyone is not happy. I don't want my brother to live a wayward life. He's 24 years old. Please nairalanders Help!

Hamiltonii:
Valentine Ozigbo for me is a waste of party ticket. He's not a force. I can feel the heat from Soludo, Maduka and even Uba faraway in the Niger Delta but not Ozigbo. He is a cold Akpu!

globemoney01:
Shut your mouth, Soludo is not saying he wants to fix Anambra, he’s simply campaigning on consolidating Obis achievements.
Now mention 5 roads done by Obi after 8 years that’s still good today compared to the ones done by Ngige before him. All his fake China roads has collapsed so what exactly was his achievements.
Obiano increased workers salary, built over 16 bridges across Anambra including the longest bridge in entire SE.
According to Nigeria Bureu of Statistics, Obiano reduced poverty level in Anambra from 55% during Obis tenure to 14%.
Obiano started 60m community project in all communities in Anambra. Put streetlights in all communities in Anambra. Infact the for governor to install street lights in the state.
Not to forget making Anambra the safest state in Nigeria before this ipob madness from the kidnapping capital of Nigeria it was under Obi.
If you are not dumb you will know the airport is not for passengers alone, it will offer employment and increased revenue to state just like the conference center.
Obiano made Anambra an oil producing state, brought court of appeal to the state. Not to mention his exploits in Education, Agriculture including attracting coscharis farms to the state.
Now I dare you to mention Obis achievements after 8 years of oil boom except saving money which no one has seen till date.

globemoney01:
Shut your mouth when you nothing nothing. Obiano has completed both the world class airport and the conference center. Can you mention any Airport in Nigeria better than it apart from Lagos and Abuja.
Anambra has always been in debt whether under Obi and Obiano and you should know the economy before Obiano and now. Obi was governor when oil sold over 100/barrel with no single legacy project.
How many states in Nigeria pay salaries today? All the states were paying salaries during Obi time. Beside over 90% of Obi roads have all collapsed
