Lagos belongs to all Nigerians equally. Even if Lagos finally becomes West-west, all Nigerians have a stake there unless the pay the billions of dollars spent in Lagos

raskymonojendor:
Yes yes yes, even though some of us have issues with our Yoruba brothers, but we jointly have a common enemy which are the ibos.

Selective enforcement of the law does not prevent thr law from being broken. Its total enforcement

ValCon888:
The fact that they didn't catch everyone doesn't make you innocent.
They were all breaking the law, but you were unfortunate to be caught.

Na who dem catch dey guilty.

Subsidy payment

PropertyBanker:
Why on earth would the FG go borrow again

Borrowing for subsidy, its there in the news

iwaeda:
Nlfpmod, they told us they have save massively from subsidy removal, but in all HONESTY how much have they saved that masses are going through unimaginable hardship and hunger. Yet they want to borrow for frivolity.

Can you mention the sin he has committed?

PortHarcourtcit:
Ugochinyere is now the newest darling of the GBAJUE'S... He'll be suspended for 6 months... Ugochinyere a baby politician wanna challenge king WIKE... We shall huuuuuuu...

There's nothing like governance in APC's ideology, only stupid politics !

You swallowed propaganda hook, line and sinker.

Go to romance section, politics is too much for you

joe1309:
nobody hates Peter Obi, he is not the messiah many think he is, remove social media propaganda then you would notice that this man failed as a governor bcuz the basic things he ought to have done he did not them. And for people to say that he did not steal as a governor is laughable. All Nigeria need now is young man as president, someone who should be in late 40s or 50s.

You guys are tribalistically or religiously invested in politics and that why you show extreme ignorance.

Throughout Buhari, we warned you guys but you called us wailers. How did Buhari govt end up?

You've started exactly same thing with Tinubu.
You guys never learn, you think this is Arsenal vs Chelsea.

Jonjam269:
This is beyond your comprehension capacity. Please kindly stick to your wailing career.

The records are there to verify, not cho cho cho or beer parlour gossips

Deadlytruth:
This thread was opened on the 14th of February 2012 as can easily be seen on page 1 of it. Obi assumed office in 2006 sequel to the sack of Ngige.... meaning that this thread was opened six years into Obi's tenure and two years to the end of it. So if Anambra people could lambast Obi and adjudge him a monumental failure after six years of his eight year term, then what on earth do you mean by the bolded?

It will not be impressive else Tinubu won't be wasting time pretending to be checking statistics to chop

Master strategist with no strategy

ClearFlair:
This APC sef

@FreeStuffsng EponObi Helinues Yarimo Biodun556

Is this the master strategy you people were screaming up and down? 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

I see them on X...same post will be made by 20 persons verbatim

The resources you're able to pull depends on the territory you're spreading your tentacles to. Igbos spreading across Nigeria means they're pulling more resources

BATified2023:
u igbos are d economic scavengers running around like castrated kangaroo

U are d one running away from your region

Lagos colony. Lagos colony was at the level of the protectorates during Nigeria formation

BATified2023:
so which region does Lagos belong?

What did this man do that they're holding him perpetually?

BlowYourMind:
Amazing, but bitter grieving obi people are the ones that will mourning and grieving over the news, they are filled with anguish and bitterness

Lagos-Calabar Coastal road that 1/50 hasn't been completed? You're already giving him credit for work that has not been done?

Darianboy4u:
Reconstructed Lagos-Calabar coastal highway, Apapa-Oshodi express, Sokoto-Badagry costal highway, Abuja-Lokoja road, Lokoja-Benin Road & rehabilitate 3rd Mainland brige and several other bridges across the country. In total about 51 roads and bridges have been awarded as contract in 8 months in total. Believe you me, even as I'm obidient, i commend this effort.

Anytime I see this lady's comment, i get pissed. Take responsibility for voting Buhari and Tinubu, two monumental failures.

How come Buhari wasnt able to solve insecurity even though he is a general?

EreluRoz:
I don't think any of the major contestants would have done better considering the mess Nigeria was in. The only solution to Nigeria's problem is revolution.

Jonathan started this mess immediately he lost to Buhari and Buhari couldn't do anything and it went on and on and here we are today. Whenever I see any clueless Nigerian praising Jonathan I just smh at his or her ignorance because Jonathan isn't what he portrays himself to be.

Whenever we are ready to get rid of all these people then we can start talking about true change. Until then let's keep recycling them and biasedly making our choices.

It was advocated by Balewa but the execution and concunrrence were by Gowon and Awolowo

Una just absolved Awolowo of everything when his fight with Akintola led to the coup

Kukutente23:
This is not true. Federalism of states was actually initially advocated by Tafawa Balewa in 1954

Before nko...una na yeye people. The insults on you guys is justified

mukshin:
His followers like you did worst in insults on NL

Which 6/10? How many roads has he constructed?

Darianboy4u:
In all sincerity, Tinubu is doing a lot when it comes to constructing of federal roads. However, even if I give him 6/10 on that aspect, I will still give him 1/10 in every other aspect of governance.

You hate Obi die even when he did not do anything to you

Acekidc4:
🙄 Eye Service
Gallivanting Failure.

If you quote me wrongly you will die💯

He was a proponent of dividing the 4 regions to 12 states with the creation of Lagos State( different from the original Lagos colony)

He also made sure Biafra never succeed by suggesting starvation to Gowon and justifying it with the statement that all is fair in war(its against the Geneva convention to use starvation by way of food blockade)

Awolowo fears domination so much that he wants to remain in Nigeria but doesn't wanna be alone with the North

erniok2:
How did you come about Awolowo made sure no one got out. Any proof.

I don't know why this your anger is not channeled towards Tinubu that has made life difficult for you

Acekidc4:
😂🤣 This is the real Olosho of Politics 💯 Dude can't build from scratch, always finding readymade....Mtcheeew

You have narrow mind. Listen to elders like Akintoye, nothing good will come out of Nigeria if things are not changed drastically

Peterobiisathie:
Simon Ekpa already conducted Leflendum in Alaigbo so let Ibo implement it

On Peter Obi the rock, will the new Nigeria be built and the gates of criminality shall not prevail against him

But when Awolowo and the North through Gowon got power, the made such nobody goes out. Thats means they never really wanted out

erniok2:
He wanted out. He was a core tribalist but wasn't called to the presentation. If he had appeared, I doubt if the country Nigeria would have existed today.

Constitution is just a document on how we chose to govern ourselves, its not some sacred document to worship. We can and should change it. We can then introduce the secession clause. We're alive and can do what we want

Kukutente23:
All these talk of Constitution got the people is philosophical B'S. It doesn't mean anything tangible in the real world.
Resource control was removed by Gowon in the 1970s not 1999 Constitution. The 1999 Constitution is silent about it which is why the NASS could make a law for 13% derivation. By the wordings of the Constitution however, secession is not allowed so a question if referendum can't arise

What is he doing with four drivers?

I can't afford to pay my driver N100000 per month, because they are four, where is the money? - SGF Akume

The former Benue State Governor was addressing the National Executive Council of the Christian Association of Nigeria.

A referendum can be done on anything including the unity of Nigeria.
Remember, the constitution is meant for the people and not the people for the constitution.

If the issue of secession cannot be discussed in constitution amendment today, it means even if it was in the 1960 constitution, it'd have been removed. Resource control was there but removed in the 1999 constitution

Kukutente23:
Was that referendum to break up the country? It was a referendum to create a new region just as its possible in Switzerland. Reps just passed a bill to create a new state in the East. Does that mean Reps support secessionist calls from the East?

The midwest region was created through a referendum in 1963. Referendum is deferent from secession

Kukutente23:
That's not true. The 1999 constitution is basically a continuation of the 1995 constitution. It was the product of a constitutional conference. It is not perfect of course but it is not an imposition as is usually being peddled.

Referendum is a quest for secession true or not? The constitution foreclosed that. The best chance was 1960 and Zik flunked it. The next best chance is through your elected reps in the legislature and they don't share your sentiments. It's same with the West. Most Westerners want fiscal federalism and devolution of powers. Their elected reps don't share that sentiment. It was even Buhari who wanted something close to that.

Research how a people's constitution is made

Kukutente23:
The 1995 constitution? No. What does that imply?

Was there a referendum by the Nigerian people to adopt it ?
