I think Nigeria still need 2 More Presidents like Buhari or worse to be able to unite and fight against Corrupt leaders. As for Now every tribe is fighting For their tribes Man to Be the president not minding how good He will perform .



What do you think?

https://twitter.com/farooqkperogi/status/1507373555205476358?t=lEHqkaq4N7icALYg66h_nA&s=19[/quote]Presidential elections are not things of sentiments. Obi knows he cannot win even in a free and fair election of a real democratic country. Not to mention a quasi-democratic state like Nigeria where every democratic institution like INEC and Judiciary are controlled by the ruling party in a similar fashion used by Putin in Russia to control results of "elections".

Again, the corrupt but highly pretentious nature of Peter Obi has thoroughly been exposed. Peter Obi's candidature are MAINLY supported by supporters of Tinubu. Who figure that it will be far easier to defeat Peter Obi than a strong northern candidate! Fortunately, the PDP will not just throw away its chances of returning to government in 2023 with a strong northeast candidate just to massage Peter Obi's ego.

Moreso, Buhari has also taught Nigerians that the fact that someone preaches anti corruption during electoral campaigns does not mean he will not be corrupt when the opportunity comes when he is in power

Peter Obi lost elections in Agulu!

It is winning in Abeokuta, Auchi or Azare that he is sure to win to become President

basseeafricana:
Who will give Presidency to Igbo? Once they lay their hand on it, we should consider Nigeria dead. They will continue attacking Tinubu without justification. Some months to come, their eyes will clear when Tinubu holds Apc ticket.

AsomughaChuks05:
Never knew that Peter Obi was this desperate to come back to government house. No wonder he forced his stooges Obaze and Ozigbo on his party in his desperation but thank God that Obiano frustrated him all through. That Soludo allowed him to use a hall in the premises to host his jamboree must have been a big relief for him His aides were celebrating it as if he had taken over the state
He must have begged Governor Soludo to grant him that favour as a payback for attending his swearing in Don't get any ideas.

mrvitalis:
You are talking as if Peter obi himself didn't inherit abadoned project or obiano didn't leave abadoned projects

There no administration that won't inherit or leave abandoned projects it's normal

Saving 75billion then which is equivalent of savings close to 300bn by a state government in 8 years of adminstration is huge and should be praised no matter what

janefblog:
Mr Peter Obi, former Anambra State Governor, has explained why he saved money for the state during his tenure.

Obi had, during the twilight of his tenure as governor of Anambra State, announced that he was leaving behind N75 biliion for his successor, Chief Willie Obiano.



The explanation by the ex-governor on why he saved is coming after the incumbent, Prof Chukwuma Soludo recently stated on national television that he met only a paltry N300 million in the coffers of the government, with a debt of over N100 billion.

Obi stated the reason he saved massively for the state in a press release by his media aide, Mr Valentine Obienyem.

He said: “Often ........... https://janefblog.com/major-reasons-i-saved-money-for-anambra-peter-obi/

ChimaAdeoye:
Whether Obiano left more assets that he is given credit for, than liabilities being blown with trumpet now. Prof. Soludo has ZERO EXCUSE not to perform. We all have high expectations of Prof Soludo to come and fix the broken system and he must move on and deliver on his promises.

Anambra today is an oil producing state due to Obiano's efforts. Yet, he did not benefit a penny from all the effort that he invested.

Today you see all sorts of politicians vying for Igbo presidency and crying to take over from Buhari to fix Nigeria. It will amount to 419 if we elect them and they start crying about Buhari's debt instead of working hard to fix the country we elected him to fix. As if they don't know right now that there will be debt and they are still vying to be elected to do things differently and fix the country.

I am glad that Obiano left many solid legacies as opposed to those who would leave liabilities with zero legacies. Some of Obiano's legacies will also generate new sources of revenue for the government. Which was not there during Obiano's administration.

Prof Soludo, with all due respect, i think i speak for many if i state that we will not take this as an excuse. Please find alternative ways to deliver on your promises because disappointing us will be a huge trauma.

NoQualmz:
Umu Elohim pls pass these message to ur followers.

Na sense dem dey use play politics of today. Sense and wisdom over foolishness this 2022,biko Umu Elohim.

Of course, "No election strategy" only makes sense when it is declared against Anambra and its election!

Once Anambra elections are over, we will suddenly "get sense" again and understand that the rest of the Igbo states should be allowed to conduct their elections without any hindrance

Same strategy was used in 2017 during only Anambra elections, then we suddenly "get sense" not to call for "No elections" in 2019. Then call for NO ELECTIONS again in 2021 during only Anambra elections, then suddenly "get sense" and call for the cancellation of no elections during the 2022 elections of other Igbo states


IPOB's Anti-Anambra agenda eh.....

Awkabigboy:
I mean imagine someone like Atiku Bagudu, Yard and host of other present and past northern governors whose loot are more in public but you will never hear about efcc going after them. Why always the south?

Rich4god:
If you have been following the Russia-Ukraine war, you will knw that this is a fight that Russia can not win. Except if they are ready to keep killing Ukrainian till their moral and hope is lost.

Putin plan is probably to take over the capital and replace Ukrainian president. And since president Zelensky is still in Ukraine, he might either be captured by russian troops or killed in action.

Now if either of the two happen, Putin is putting himself in a bad light and this action will make Ukrainians to keep fighting.

If putting installs another president that is loyal to him in Ukraine, considering the circumstances in which the person came into power, he will definitely find it difficult to control or rule over Ukrainians.
That means russian troops will have to be in Ukraine to help control security.

And before you start making comparison to what the US did in other country....

Before the US invaded any country, more than 25-50 percent of the countries citizen have already started to revolt against the siting president, that way the US have already found a soft ground and back up to invade, occupy and install Thier puppet as the president.

Before the US intervened in Libya, almost half of Libyan population are revolting against Gadafi.

Protests were on going in Syria.

In Afghanistan, majority of Afghans are tired of Taliban.

In Iraq, there were already growing resentment about Saddam Hussein.

All these circumstances made it easy for the US to invade the mentioned countries, and as such, it now seemed as if the US came in to assist the people.

The same cannot be said of this current war between Russia and Ukraine. And aside from Donesk and Lugansk, majority of Ukraine are on the side of the president. So how can Putin get out of this ACT with his head above his shoulder.

This war is a lose lose situation for Putin, making Zelensky the hero out if this situation.

Sir,

I don't know where you came from. I have never read your comment here. I just want you to know that faceless people like you cannot cajole me away from pushing for a glorious Anambra state. I know Prof Soludo means every word to do his best for Anambra state. We shall pray for him and always remind him of his promises in order to sustain his morale to do the difficult job necessary in liberating Anambra state.

I support and have always supported Prof Soludo. While very much aware that to build a prosperous and liveable Anambra state, he must be ready to confront those powerful forces currently benefiting from the use of thugs to steal our IGR and stifle development in the state. Some of these men are the first to buy him 10 pages congratulatory messages on the pages of newspapers and throw parties in his honor at every juncture. We know Prof Soludo means well for our people. However, the trappings of power and the master treachery of those who know how to use it can prevent one from doing what is right. Even when he intended to do so.

We shall be HERE to remind him and point out his promises if he ever grows soft on doing what is necessary to salvage and transform Anambra state. It is NOT going to be easy. But we shall support him in prayers and always remind him of his mission so that he does not give up when the going gets tough.

globemoney:
I was just saying this on the imo thread, if project A is done in Ebonyi/Imo/Enugu they will praise it to high heavens and then turn around to tell us why we don't need same project A in Anambra. When Anambra was buiding an airport, they were all over the place telling us why Anambra doesnt need an airport, now they are telling us to wait until Umahi finishes his airport to see quality.. That was why they were very happy and started circulating pics of some roofs in the Airport being blown away by winds.
The reason most of them hate Obiano is because he dared to give Anambra such projects that they don't have in their states. Even Umahi they praise is always copying Obiano for reason I don't know, he started his flyovers after Obiano did Awka flyovers, started Ebonyi Airport after Obiano launched Anambra Airport, now starting an Olympic stadium after the Awka Stadium. While Obiano has completed all his ptojects lets see how many Umahi will complete.

Good evening guys!

Please I beg you in the name of whatever you serve, don't derail this thread by turning it to tribal fights. I want us to learn and want others to learn also.

I am Yoruba and this thread is for us to learn.

First of all, everyone here knows I dislike Tinubu and all that he represents. The simple reason is because he was majorly the brain behind the coalition that brought in the present government into power.

GEJ's government had a lot of goodwill coming into power but his tenure was wasteful and millions of us thought Buhari would do better. We voted enmasse for Buhari/Osinbajo but alas, it turned out to be the worst ever decision by many. We were simply deceived.

Things have gone from Bad to worst in the last 7 years and most of those (Tinubu, Bakare, etc.) that Protested and rallied people against GEJs government see nothing wrong with it. So to me, Tinubu can't bring in an evil government, stay silent for 8 years and then convince me he's the best thing we need. NEVER

I mostly live in the SS and the people of the place have long moved on from the the defeat of their "son". The region even seem more peaceful now than when GEJ was in power.

I do not want to believe it's ethnic hatred for Yorubas like some people always say because Obasanjo is Yoruba. He was president for 8 years, he has always spoken against Biafra, he fought in the civil war but yet Igbos like him more than Yorubas or so it seem. This might be disputed but we all know he enjoyed massive votes from SE compared to the SW where he hails from.

So, to my South East guys... Do we share the same sentiments? Do you dislike Tinubu for his role in bringing in this government or are there other reasons? None of my friends offline have given me clear cut reason hence the reason why I brought it here.

So people withdrawing their own money through ATM shows that "the economy of that country have failed"

What exactly is the function of ATM?

Lol. See the kind of people I engage on nairaland. I am sorry for entertaining a simpleton like you for this long.

The venue of the meeting was still inside the International Convention Center!!!

Now Anambra has a befitting venue for big or small gatherings. I just hope that Prof Soludo will expedite the construction of the International Convention Center Hotel so that staff working in the hotel can be used to regularly clean and maintain the ICC edifice. Else, it will surely become a junkyard in a few years like every Nigerian edifice built without a solid maintenance plan.
