squash47:Obi's not the governor. Infact, the current governor doesn't like him. But when he was Governor, how was Anambra state? The state won the most secured state for five consecutive years by the inspector general of police. Gen Enenche Rtd also testified of his proactiveness as governor. That's called track record. |
Plateau state is one of the most rational state in Nigeria. They are fed of the status quo, and the suffering, and they are doing everything possible to change their situation. They voted enmass for Peter obi too. Unlike some states that would cry and cry and still vote bad leaders and parties for sentimental or whatever reasons. |
How is this our business? |
planetx:Well, that's war. Hamas should not have invaded a greater power. Even Isreal is not happy that the US is not allowing them to unleash the full scale of their intentions. That's why they want Trump. It could have been worse for gaza without the long restricting arms of the United States. |
Iran is a major thorn in the US side. They have just killed three soldiers. Can America wipe that country off the face of the earth? They can. And it wouldn't even cost them anything more than their Pacific battle group can handle. But will they? They won't. Because they have a conscience. Put china or Russia in that position, and Iran would have ceased to exist long ago. |
The united states have sanctioned some Isreal citizens trying to steal land and create trouble in the West Bank. They have publicly warned Isreal, that they will not support a displacement of the Palestinian people from their land. And Isreal is supposed to be their strongest ally after Britain. That's what a democratic country with a conscience can do. Are they perfect? Ofcourse not. But they have a conscience. If china or Russia was in that position, they wouldn't mind wiping out Palestine just to achieve their strategic objective. |
Rilwayne001:To be fair, great power comes with great responsibility. The US military protects the shipping lanes for trades across the world. From the Atlantic ocean to the Indian ocean, the Persian gulf, the Red sea, and the Pacific where great powers like china exists. The US military is there protecting global trade from being hijacked by countries like Iran on a whim. The US military is the reason why there has not been a world war since Hitler. They are stronger than their next rival by multiples of told. That has kept the peace. Have they benefited? Ofcourse. But I 'd rather a democratic country like the united states with a conscience should possess such great powers, than china or Russia. |
A non-stop flight from the North America to Asia to carry out a bombing mission. The power of the United States is scary. They truly shitt on the ancient Roman empire. |
MT:He ran under the ruling party, backed by the power of the incumbency, and with excess dollars, and rigging machinery spread across the country in the name of governors. Sorry, if I am not impressed. |
yarimo:And hell is cold. |
MT:A bad product that won 6 million votes, winning both Lagos and Abuja. 🤡 Nobody in your region can do what obi did with labour party. |
MT:Says who? Na your papa get Nigeria? Give me one politician you know that is as marketable as Peter obi. Just one. |
This was obi in 2013, long before he even planned to run for presidency or vice president. The most patriotic politician alive in Nigeria. Similarly to what John McCain is for America.
|
yarimo:There is no known politician in your region that's as upright and has the good name that obi has. None. |
MT:In court? Which court? You call that joke a court trial? 🤡 He will lose with a wider margins? Really? You are going to remove the votes you did not give him? Or tinubu has done well enough to retain sensible vote? 🤡 |
Peter obi is patriotic to the core. I don't know any politician in Nigeria that likes Nigeria the way the man does. If our collective IQ was slightly above 100, he would have been president already. |
deji17:The same man that was with them in 2013 when they won it under keshi?. Atleast he cares about people's opinion and being in public good. What of tinubu that does not give a fuckkk about your papa? |
MT:He got over 6 million votes in a fresh party winning in a landslide in the commercial and political capitals. It has never been done since mko abiola. That's after being heavily rigged out in many States. The people have spoken. They want him. |
blacknp:Who did he betray? |
blacknp:Because things are supposed to get better, not worse. |
blacknp:He has been to the aso rock and played pivotal roled there as far back as abacha, down to obj and Jonathan. Aso rock is not new to him. He studied philosophy.? Well, Philosophy is the bedrock of science and logic. Man know thyself. No wonder only obi seem to be able to think well among the political class. He knows himself and knows Nigeria. And when you combine his philosophy background with his many training in advanced level management in some of the best business schools in the world, that is a game changer right there. |
blacknp:You are still deceiving yourself. Nigeria did not start in 2015 or 2023. Go back to the known before entering the unknown. |
That's why someone like obi is drastically needed. He's understands the simple things. Get the simple things working. Why is our National tap not running optimally? Some big men have cornered it. How do we remove them? By arresting them all, and creating deterrence. As simple as this, APC cannot do it. |
blacknp:If Nigeria was exporting 1.3 Million barrels a day, dollars would not be this scarce. We may not be rich, but Nigeria would not be this bad. We have been exporting this for decades, when dollar was at N100. What has changed? The problem is that we can't even meet our opec quota due to oil theft and massive corruption. Who is supposed to reduce oil theft, and corruption as a matter of national security.? The FG. Opec wants to even reduce our quota because we can no longer meet it. The quota that all the pdp govts have met, and were even lobbying to increase. That's what the apc cannot even meet, and you think you will magically get dollars. |
blacknp:Actually, yes they do. The macroeconomics at the center has to make sense. No company is investing in delta or Edo, if they can't repatriate their dollars. And why can't they repatriate their dollars.? The FG at the center is not earning enough dollars by exporting enough crude oil. And that's just one example of how FG affects investments at the states. |
blacknp:Why should the foreign reserve be depleted when you can export oil? Are you aware that the Russian -ukraine war happened under Buhari that led to a record increase in the price of oil.? If that war happened under obj or even Jonathan, our foreign reserves would enter almost $100B. All the oil producing countries were getting rich during that war, except Nigeria. You should be concerned about why is the apc govt failing to do the simple things.? The simple things that the corrupt pdp govts did. Leave the complex things for better people like obi. |
blacknp:Foreign investment come into Nigeria due to the actions at the center. It's not states that attracted them. Nigerian states are not that advanced. It's when they come in that they select the states they work with, and most of them go to Lagos and by extension Ogun. Under the APC, the foreign investments have dried up. Worry about them coming first, before looking for which states they go to. |
Dangote has built a refinery with our cheap dollars, and now we can't even supply him crude oil. He is going to buy crude oil from America with scarce dollars. Two step forward, three step backwards for Nigeria. What happened to our own crude oil? Buhari and the apc has pledged most of the supply to servicing the humongous debts to foreign lenders. And that's not even talking about the massive unprecedented oil theft. |
A dollar is now N1500. Pdp managed the dollar for more than 16yrs, and the highest it got was a little over 200. This is 8yrs of the APC, and it is N1500. We cannot even earn dollars from oil, because oil theft is at unprecedented high. Dollars that pdp was getting easily due to oil exports to the point where naira cards in all the banks could buy goods in the international market, is now a complicated thing for the APC to replicate. And some people think this govt is for their benefit. Una go learn sha |
Nigeria is practicing a unitary govt. The most important person to elect is the president. It determines the direction of your macroeconomics, which determines if the states would get any foreign investment whatsoever. Nigeria was the third fastest growing economy in the world under Jonathan, getting the highest investment in Africa for more than 4 years back to back. Who benefited most from that? It was the APC states in Lagos and Ogun. Companies were pouring there like water. They were benefiting from the decent macroeconomics of the pdp at the center. APC is now in power. How many investments is flowing to Lagos state now? The ones there are already closing shop. |
When buhari was closing the borders, cutting off companies from the markets and raw materials sources in west Africa and increasing the price of commodities in Nigeria, it was governors that did that.? When buhari was plundering our foreign reserves earnings for useless projects to Niger republic and crippling our ability to defend the naira, it was governors that did that. When buhari and his useless APC cabinet supported by the likes of tinubu were churning out suicidal economic policies, crippling our macroeconomics, and shutting out the flow of foreign investments, it was govrnors that did that. Una dey mad. |
blacknp:Get the fuckkk out of my sight Sycophant oshi. If they left Nigeria to people like you, that country go just finish. |
