I think Nigerian media covers more about Burkina Faso government than Burkinabe media. Because why are they always pushing these guys business in our faces? The same rubbish they did when Niger went rogue.

Is it really our business?

BERNIMOORE:
lets even admit that she talks to Akpabio

Thank you. There is a saying "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." If you keep listening to an audience that kicks off with a barefaced lie, then you deserve what is coming to you; that is, if you are not the piper.

I am not the piper.

Are you?

Lamasta:
Stop shifting goal post young man

If you say you're fresh off graduate school, and your certificate shows you actually left school eons ago, why should I even bother with you?

Nteogwuija:
They'd be right if they said majority of the people in the civil service are corrupt.

The headline didn't say majority are corrupt, it said 80% of Nigerians would go to jail. People have this perchant for throwing numbers about and that's where I draw the line. I'm a Math person, so I think you can understand.

To be realistic, how many of the daily Nigerian offences guarantees jail time, going by the constitution? That's a great place to start.

Nteogwuija:
If you say it's subject to the person's circle. What do you have to say about Nigeria's civil service?

Because these are people we deal with almost everyday.

If you think people who live in Lekki are much different in value systems when compared to those in Ajegunle, just do an experiment. Drive your Lexus to a mall at any of these places and place your iPhone 16 on the car. Leave it for 20 mins and come back to check if you'd still find it.

The entire civil service in the country is less than 3% of the country's population. Yet, it is not everyone in the civil service that is evil.

Birds of a feather flock together. A thief in Abuja might know a thief in Lagos. They are in the same circle even if they operate in different bases. And in all of the nonsense they do, they do not bring it close to disciplined persons.

Dr Duru, as a way of lending credence to the fact that you are not out for blackmail or on a payroll, you insinuated you did not know the Senate President or have any affiliations with the politicians. Fair enough.

How then is it that on your video, while trying to display the messages you allegedly received from Senator Natasha without your request, it clearly shows that you just missed a call from the Senate President, and you are a member of a Pro-Akpabio Whatsapp group?

Just the way the woman who spearheaded that sham of a recall has faded into oblivion, you would as well follow the same route and allow tax paying citizens to hold the government to account.

Lol. That's how they underplayed the impact governance has on the people until they got into power and collectively tanked the economy and made Nigeria poorer.

Now they are at it again, underplaying the need for opposition until they give the Gen Z military a reason to step in and reset the country. According to Gemini, the direct results of a one-party state include: a lack of political accountability, restricted freedoms, and potentially, a system where the ruling party's interests take precedence over the needs of the broader population.

Fellow Nigerians, are you not already seeing that today? We're getting there. Keep dishing out articles in the face of an impending doom.

How can a former governor be stirring up so much trouble at home?

This is the problem with allowing a person to wield so much power as some of our dispositions allows.

A popular Igbo proverb says "When a god begins to misbehave, we show it the tree it was carved from".

He needs to be put in his place and fast!

Hmmm.. This is commendable if it is true. A debt-free state is positioned for better progress. Many leaders steal funds under the guise of debt servicing.

EverydayTipsfor:
There are still many honest and hardworking Nigerians out there.

Thank you. I believe those generalisation are a reflection of the person's circle of companions. Which isn't a reflection of the country, but such person's value system.

That is untrue. That assumption is being made by people who are enmeshed in a life of crime and are looking for justification for their life choices.

A similar excuse is when people support evil politicians under the excuse of "all politicians are the same" when even a set of twins are not the same.

Nigeria should be cleaned up and it has to start now.

How can people be this gullible? 😂😂

What is the relationship between the headline and the content?

Uh.. Why is this 'hilarious joke' not in the Jokes section?

Also, 'chats up' as a phrase is suggestive of a sexual connotation. Might want to refrain from using that next time.

Laying the foundations for the rigging, I see.

Do not edit your comments in quick succession. Give some time before doing so. That flags it I guess.

Also, if you get banned as such, mail the mods. It happened to me on two occasions, I mailed them and voila!

I can't say exactly how long it took to be resolved but it wasn't there anymore the next time I logged on.

Same lady who claimed she has no affiliations with any senator has Akpabio on her WhatsApp contact list , just missed a call from him and is a member of pro-Akpabio groups.

You see that thing we always said about APC minions WhatsApp Groups? The same way they were signing pages after pages of recall mandate in a room and the video leaked.

What an incompetent lot!

This is laughable.

Isn't this case in court or do people not want her to be found to be the one guilty of slander? 😂😂

That's how the sham of a recall died a natural death. This one too shall pass.

Yes!

I certainly did not have sycophants when I asked that question but okay.

That's crazy. Is he a security threat?

Gbajue. A failed governor want to make a working country worked!

A reminder why it is critical that a governor takes educational reforms seriously.

Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has revealed that the state inherited a debt burden of over N138bn, out of which N72bn has been repaid, leaving a balance of N66bn in addition to outstanding liabilities such as salaries, pensions, and contractors’ payments.

He said this was according to information from the Debt Management Office.

He also announced plans to invest $1.3bn in the construction of a proposed Abia Medical City, which he said will save billions of dollars from medical tourism and transport costs for the country.

Speaking during the April edition of Alex Otti Speaks to Abians on Wednesday, the governor said, “The state will continue to be prudent in the management of resources, and none is to be wasted. As a result of prudence, goodwill and ability to get the best deal in every transaction, we have added no dime in the form of borrowing.”

Otti disclosed that the Port Harcourt Road in Aba will be completed by next week. On education, the governor said that 7,000 pupils are currently benefiting from the state’s free education policy.

He added that 9,000 teachers have been engaged and are undergoing phased training to improve teaching quality across schools.

Otti said the state is paying attention to mathematics, engineering, and science, among other critical subjects and “wants to prepare students to be at home with technology”.

On healthcare, Otti said primary health centres across the state will receive what he called a “touch of the new Abia,” with the planned recruitment of 777 additional healthcare workers.

On security, the state governor said the area is critical and that his administration is paying attention to the sector, noting that security is everybody’s business, and advised Abians not to “tolerate any act of insecurity”, stating that security agencies in the state are doing well, adding, “some people who tested our will didn’t find it easy”.

According to him, all investments will come to nothing if people don’t sleep with their eyes closed.

On agriculture, the governor said his government has entered into partnerships to boost rice production and greenhouse farming with Israeli firms to improve yields of vegetables and maize.

He also addressed the state’s anti-grazing law, saying, “Abia has gone beyond cows destroying our farms. We will look at it.”

kedeojo:
Has a governor, what did he achieved in agriculture. Talk is cheap.

'As' ... 'achieve'

A reminder that he did marvelously well in education.

So I'll answer your questions to once again, showcase Peter Obi's foresight.

Remember SAB Miller? The brewery he engineered to Anambra State? One of the aims was to boost local production of Cassava. You probably don't know it is a source of the starch which is fermented.

Does Omor Rice Mill ring a bell? It was once the largest rice mill in West Africa, with a capacity of 15,000 tonnes. That's a brainchild of Peter Obi's administration.

Between 2012 and 2013, a total of N2.2 billion credit facilitu was disbursed to local farmers to boost agriculture in the state. Unlike your usual politicians, this was managed by the Bank of Agriculture. You know Peter Obi and his love for documentation and records.

Talk is not cheap if left for those who have something to say.

Next Question?

JASONjnr:
This isn't about the party or the president.

It is about a bandwagon of criminals. Thank you for calling them what they are.

Lies. There are numerous real estate establishments in the South. Which did they approach? Since they are registered, they shouldn't be hard to find?

Quick question: Have you ever seen a picture of Obiano? 😂😂😂💔

Thiefobi1:
All these is fake which obiano already dispute.

Nope. Obiano never said any of these. You can share a video of Obiano or direct quote from Obiano saying this.

I might as well bid you good night because you can't find this. Say something else, please.

Next time you want to challenge me, give me information directly from your brain. You used Grok to gather information and forgot to edit the headings. You also forgot to do a proper editing of the talking points.

I don't like throwing accusations without thinking it through. So Grok also formats bold using the [b.] [b.] format right? It's okay to quit if you can't feel the ground. I know that feeling 🤗🤗. In your mind, you think the simplistic cow, watch, shoe takes will give you a pass without someone calling out your pettiness abi? GWS.

Meanwhile, WAEC admitted they never ranked states. Peter Obi lied about it. Grok lied. You have promoted the lie. Apologize to those who paid your school fees.

WAEC admitted they never ranked states in 2023. Quite obvious isn't it? Every year there has been those records in public space and suddenly there isn't? Many news media have the rankings from when Anambra was 26th, and suddenly, WAEC found their voice to debunk decades later? Peter Obi publicly received an award in 2014 for this feat amongst others Anyways, when a commissioner recently said 54.3% of those government-sponsored failed WAEC; where did he source that from? 😁

Critical thinking isn't a skill taught in schools, yeah. But even if you missed it before, you should have picked it up somewhere between when you started living life and before you joined APC. Apologies if that didn't work out.

Someone took on an ambitious project of Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway. He was one of those who vehemently condemned the project.

He is still one of those condemning the ₦‎39 Billion renovation of th ICC as you saw in the video. In a country where 70% of PHCs are not even basically functional; where two-thirds of her population groan under multi-dimensional poverty.

He condemned the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway because it shows the abject mindlessness of the leaders of the most populous black nation whose citizens are making leaps and bounds elsewhere. How are you wasting money on such when even the existing ones are groaning under disrepair and lack of maintenance. This is the fate of the new project if such mispriorities is not contained. One one of such roads in disrepair under this administration saw 120 vehicles were burnt, people died because they were funneled into a section couldn't leave the scene fast enough due to the condition of the road.

He was condemned for not building new schools because he chose to renovate and solidify the existing ones, which where enough to handle their immediate population. As you can see from the recently released WAEC statistics by the Commisioner of Education (God bless his honest soul), it's not about the age of the structure, but the motivation of the educators and learners.

Take lessons from Peter Obi's playbook now. He won't be around forever.

emkz:
What were his big ideas for development? What were his practical ideas for insecurity? What ambitious projects did he have in mind?
For 2027, let Peter Obi give a comprehensive submission of his plans. If he wants to return oil subsidy and dollar subsidy, let him say so. If he'd grant amnesty to repentant terrorists, let him say so.

There is this thing called manifesto, which candidates detail their plan. It is not just a formality; it is actually meant to be read to avoid asking questions that have long been answered. Read it again, this time in capital letters because the situation just became 10 times worse: https://elections.civichive.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Peter-Obi-2023-Presidential-Manifesto.pdf

7. Did he raise the revenue of Anambra State? By how much?

Did you see the handover document he signed? He didn't meet any green in the state coffers when he took over the state. That's a signed hard fact; no governor has been able to leave such hard fact since then. All you have is graphics and projections like this one you shared; no trace. I have attached the document below and they were corroborated by the banks holding the funds. Not projected, not IGR on paper, hard cash which his successor saw and started an airport with full motivation. Don't play.

Thiefobi1:
Show us physical evidence of obi legacy in Anambra.

Your type will laud a 35 billion naira investment in conference centre by a country with 63% persons in multi-dimensional poverty.

The below physical enough for you? Just keep playing.

emkz:
5. Can he explain to us how he transformed Anambra from consumption to production? Is Anambra an industrial hub today?
8. Thanks to his innovative leadership, what is Anambra producing today?

You people just don't read. A mini thread was in your noses all day but you ignored. Always wanting to be spoonfed. Anyways, take a looksee: https://www.nairaland.com/7088518/15-made-anambra-products-hot
And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

emkz:
6. He talks about poverty. A successor said he doubled poverty rates in Anambra and that investments embarked upon were worth toilet paper.

On the subject of poverty, NBS has no poverty record for year ending 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014. So where is the source of this if NBS kept no records for half his tenure until he left governance during which he had numerous poverty alleviation schemes implemented under ANIDS? Y'all be pulling records of Whatsapp groups.

Also, a seasoned economist like the current governor knows how to dispose unfruitful assets. A number of individuals declared interest in privatising the "investments that were worth toilet paper"; that was the last time we heard of these investments.

Soludo is not a fool; don't allow yourself to be either.

Anyways, below is the last we heard of any reputable poverty alleviation agency. It's more reliable than a powerpoint image with no traceable source.
