We have a calamity in our hands.

Tinubu has wrecked this country and must be advised to resign and apologize to Nigerians for inflicting premium pain on them.

*He was the first Governor in Nigeria to legally challenge his wrongful impeachment and was reinstated by the Courts.

*He was the first Governor in Nigeria to seek the interpretation of tenures of Governors when INEC allowed elections to take place in Anambra State when his tenure had not expired; the election already concluded was cancelled and he was allowed to complete his tenure.

*He was the first Governor to serve a 2nd term in both the new and old Anambra State, that is, almost 40 years after creation of the State.

*He was the first Governor, whilst still in Office, to be appointed a Special Adviser to the President.

*He was the first serving Governor to be appointed into the Presidential Economic Management Team.

*He was among the first Governors to be honoured with a National Award in 2011, while still in office.

*Though the only Governor whose political party was in government in only one State, he was elected Vice-Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum twice.

*Though the only non-PDP Governor in the South-East (made up of 5 States), he was elected by the other 4 PDP Governors as their Chairman for 8 years rather than the usual one year.

FUNDAMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE (PARTIAL LISTING)

1. Anambra was the first State to commence Sub-Sovereign Wealth savings, the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. At a time many other Governors were leaving huge debts, I left the equivalent of $500 million Dollars in investment as well as local and foreign currency, including $156 million in Dollar-denominated bonds.

2. For the first time in the history of Anambra State, Ambassadors and High Commissioners of notable countries such as United Stated, Britain, Russia, European Union, South Africa, Belgium, Israel, the Netherlands, Canada, among others, visited the State. Before my tenure, Anambra was practically a pariah state blacklisted by the Diplomatic Corps and international development partners.

3. Development partners such as UNDP, UNICEF, the World Bank, DFID, the European Union etc., which hitherto were not in Anambra State started working with the State. Anambra was consistently adjudged one of the best states in development partnership and commitment to reforms for good governance.

4. He was recognised as Best Governor by the Millennium Development Goals Office (OSSAP-MDGs) and the UNDP in the implementation of their programmes in Nigeria.

5. The Nigerian Debt Management Office (DMO) rated Anambra as the least indebted state in Nigeria. In spite of visible and measurable achievements recorded in various sectors, the State under him did not borrow or raise bonds for her various projects.

6. The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria rated Anambra State as the most financially stable state in the country.

7. The State's ground-breaking return of schools to their original owners - Voluntary Agencies (Churches) on 1st January 2009, and subsequent partnership with the Agencies in Education, saw the State move from 24th position out of 36 States to Number One in National Examination Council (NECO) and West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations for three consecutive years. This made the World Bank to commission a study, led by the renowned Prof. Paul Collier of Oxford University, on this revolutionary partnership and phenomenal achievement.

8. The State also entered into strategic partnership with the Churches in the Health sector. This symbiotic relationship resulted in a tremendous boost to health care because of the services offered by health institutions owned by Voluntary Agencies, while the State restored grants to the agencies and made available to them more than 50 million Dollars in various types of support.

10. Through partnership with the Church in the Health sector, his Government funded the transformation of -:

a: Iyienu Hospital, Ogidi;
b: Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala;
c: St Charles Borromeo Hospital, Onitsha;
d: Holy Rosary Hospital, Waterside, Onitsha; and
e: St. Joseph Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu.
His Government also built the Joseph Nwilo Heart Centre in St. Joseph, Adazi-Nnukwu, where heart operations are now being performed.

11. His Government won the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (1 Million dollars) as the best-performing state in immunisation in the South-East. With complementary funding from our Government, they used the money to build 10 Maternal and Child Care Centres across the State, particularly in rural communities, in partnership with the Churches.

12. The State was the first to procure and distribute more than 30,000 computers to secondary schools, including 22,500 from HP. The Managing Director for Personal Systems Group HP Inc, Mr. FabriceCampoy described the deployment as the biggest of such projects in the Middle-East and Africa.

13. Anambra State Government provided Microsoft Academies to more than 500 secondary schools, which the Head of Microsoft in Nigeria (Mr. Ken Span) described as the biggest such deployment in Africa so far.

14. The State provided Internet access to more than 500 secondary schools, which the CEO of Galaxy Backbone (Mr. Gerald Ilukwe) characterized as incomparable to any in the country.

15. More than 700 buses were provided to secondary schools in the State by our Government.

16. Boreholes were provided in schools all over the State.

17. Numerous classrooms were built in all the 177 communities of the State.

18 As part of the efforts to turn around the economy of the State, a number of companies were attracted to build their facilities in the Anambra State. A case in point is SABMiller, the 2nd largest brewery in the world, which built their first Green Field facility in the State, which is today one of the most successful facilities they operate globally.

19. A number of other companies followed the SABMiller initiative and were all supported and encouraged under our Government; a good example is INNOSON Motor Manufacturing Company, from which our government bought more than 1,000 vehicles.

20. Anambra State for the first time started close collaboration with recognized government security agencies (the Police, Army, Navy, Department of State Security, Civil Defence, among others), offering them various types of support including provision of more than 500 security vehicles. The improvement in security was phenomenal, such that the former IG of Police (Abubakar Mohammed) lauded Anambra State for not witnessing any bank robbery in my last three years in office.

21. To further enhance security, Anambra State provided at least one security vehicle to each of all the 177 communities in the State as well as various organizations such as markets and Churches.

22. His Administration conceived and built, from scratch, the first state-owned Teaching Hospital, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu teaching Hospital, Awka.

23. His Government commenced the planned development of the Igbariam Campus of the ChukwuemekaOdumegwu-Ojukwu University, including the fencing, construction of internal roads, electrification, construction of the Faculty of Law, Auditorium, Administrative Block, Faculty of Agriculture, Management Building, among others).

24. His Government attracted the World Bank support on erosion - National Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) - to Anambra State.

25. His Government was the first to do Poverty Mapping in Nigeria, as a guide for the effective implementation of our poverty-alleviation strategies.

26 His Government, for the first time, undertook the aerial mapping of Awka as well as the production of Structure Plans for Awka Capital Territory, Onitsha and Nnewi.

27. During his tenure and with his Government's support, Anambra State became an oil producing State.

28. He built the first Secretariat Complex to house State Government Ministries that were hitherto scattered around the State.

29. His government commenced the development of the 'Three Arms Zone' comprising Government House/Governor’s Lodge, Legislative Building/Speakers Residence, and Judiciary Building with Chief Judge’s Residence.

30. By the end of his tenure in 2014, more than twelve (12) health institutions, including two hospitals, had secured accreditation; when we took off in 2006, no health institution in Anambra State was duly accredited.

31. Anambra State was the first to undergo national peer review, which scrutinised State Governments for good governance, through the State Peer Review Mechanism (SPRM), an initiative of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum in collaboration with the DFID.

None of those things is better than a good name and corruption-free life. Obi has none of that.

123yes:
Tell us the legacy of your own father to Nigeria project. You are here talking about some one that is better than all you generation.

A drug dealer can never be better than my generation. We have and pride our good name.

Omanambala:
Anambra state University Igbariam was built by Obi. Anambra state teaching hospital Anaku was built by Obi. What's next

Is that a legacy? Great leaders don’t point to such things as legacy. Legacy is something that benefits a large majority of people for many years to come.

nairalanda1:
They have been trying. People chase them with Cutlass. Nigerians clap for the defaulters. There aren't enough police and judges to help jail the defaulters.

At the end, Nigerians need to realize there is nothing like free stuff

Why did they take up the contract snd even bribeb their way if they knew they can’t cope?

Tochi360:
Why not carry this allegations to the court na propaganda don't count in reality.

It's obvious your propaganda failed massively to hit the hearts of the people from all across the Country, infact You actually created more Obideints and people who seek better for the Country, people who know and accept that Apc is the greatest calamity to befall this Country, People who are not interested in zombieng away common sense to play mere politics that would lead to untold hardship.

Anambra State academic sector can never fail to be in the top 5 most Educated States in Nigeria, Obi met the sector in shambles and left it at first position. Education is the greatest legacy You can leave for a people.

Thank God we dodged the Yes Daddy bullet. Obi cannot convince Nigerians. That’s why he lost. He could not convince judges at all levels. It is not propaganda. It is the truth. He said it openly that he used governmental money for his family business. Only fools would not have heard that.

ShoeGetSize:
So allah was lying when he revealed Surah 10:94-95? to "prophet" Sex Award Winner (SAW) Prison and Beatings Upon Him (PBUH) Also, if the Bible is man made, why did allah and "prophet" Sex Award Winner (SAW) copy so much from the Bible?

Why did allah a.k.a Satan We Trust (S.W.T), say that the un-Holy koran was revealed as a confirmation for a man made book?

Surah 2:89

When there came to them a Book from God, confirming what was with them

Since you lack respect and decorum I will not answer your question. Go to hell with your belief.

SoNature:
Yes, continue to prove to foolish people that they don't deserve to live in a working society and that the economic hardship and insecurity they are experiencing can only be solved by God.

Nigerians, Ndi eriri eri!

Please borrow someone’s brain if you can’t understand my statements.

nairalanda1:
SO, at the end, when you run a business and people don't pay for your service, you may as well just say that it is your fault, and not the fault of people who do not pay at all.

The way you guys justify bad things, no wonder you never get good leaders.

You don’t seem to understand anything. If someone owes you money, do you sit down and wait for government to help you collect your debt?

Tochi360:
In a recent discussion on Channels TV, Professor Okey Ikechukwu, a distinguished authority in strategic management and human capital development, shed light on how former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, effectively addressed corruption during his tenure. The professor’s insights aimed to challenge the prevalent notion that individuals with good intentions cannot prosper in a corrupt environment.

He said Okey,see how much I have saved today. When He gets a file He will check the unit cost and check the total.
If the unit cost is too high, He would personally contact individuals in the market to verify the accurate unit cost.

https://www.ambajay.com/when-peter-obi-was-governor-by-1am-he-said-okey-see-how-much-ive-saved-today-prof-ikechukwu/.


Regardless of the propaganda, REALITY is the human development index of Anambra under Obi was massive growth, leaving a debt free State,a State which was ranked safest State by IGP BABA and a State in top 3 position of the most Educated States ranking in Nigeria.

Like him,hate him,not an angel but give Him a job and He will do it.

Show me one legacy of Obi that we can see today, just one. Obi has no long term vision and sustainable development plans. All his efforts l, if any, are in the dustbin of history. What about the 250 million laundered by Obi? Why did Obi invest government money in his family business? Is that probity or corruption? Why did Obi keep his state’s money in his bank where he has major shareholding?

You cannot pull wool over our eyes. We know the truth.

nairalanda1:
Ya think the tenants don't know they are violating the law?

If they did not know, then either they have low IQ or they are being deceitful.

It is mostly because of folk like them that we don't have light

Are you serious Someone preferring solutions is the one that prevents you from having light? Have you drank burukutu this morning? No single tenant can singlehandedly stop electricity workers. It is the crowd that supports them that is the problem. Because the crowd believes that nepa has been unjust to people. If you then use the tactic of blackmail by publishing the names etc before attending the property to disconnect, the job is made easier. I am just an innocent adviser trying to help them find solutions and you are accusing me of wrong doing? You must be drunk or something!!!

ShoeGetSize:
You mean this type of "truth?"

If thou wert in doubt as to what We have revealed unto thee, then ask the Christians and Jews who have been reading the Book from before thee.

(Surah 10:94-95)



I think you should read your "koran" more often and come to us for consultation😂😂😂

Many of you people lack understanding and knowledge. The only book we are allowed to read is the revealed books of Allah. Not a bible written by human beings. Do you think Allah is daft like you? You use your hands to write a book and call it a scripture? Allah has already rebuked and cursed all of you that wrote bible with your hands in the same Quran. And yet you think Allah is asking us to read such books? You must be a joker.😂😂😂

ShoeGetSize:
There's nothing "divine" about following the teachings of a 7th century illiterate child rapist fake "prophet" Sex Award Winner (SAW)

That’s where you are spiritually blind. Tell your pastor to come clean with the truth. They know it, at least most of them do.

nairalanda1:
They try to do that, and in most cases, people chase them with cutlass and other weapons.

And we clap for the bypassers doing so.

Well, people do these because they have been fraudulent in the past too. If the distribution companies give advanced notice and publicise the offence of the tenant before coming to disconnect them, these attacks will reduce.

HonNL:
SOURCE

Please let all women embrace that in China. Very soon, the large crowds from Africa will be begged to come and occupy a Chinese population going into extinction.

AllTheWayUp:
Another propaganda to distract and bamboozle only APC zombies as usual.
Hate it or love it, with the current state of corruption and ineptitude in the Nigerian public sector, no public company can challenge any industry leading private monopoly like MTN, DSTV, DANGOTE and others, only private companies can challenge and overtake private owned monopoly in Nigeria.

Stop crying!!! But you can wail without disturbing us😂😂😂

JAMO84:
I hope this SLTV will be as good as DStv.

Let me go and select a strong concrete wall where I will smash my DStv decoder

https://www.thecable.ng/60-of-metered-customers-bypass-meters-says-tcn/amp?/60-of-metered-customers-bypass-meters-says-tcn

It is the job of distribution companies to investigate any metre not making money, disconnect and remove the metre. Then resort to estimated billing for that metre. It is so easy and simple. And if any bye-pass is detected, they should call in the police to arrest the criminals, make sure they spend time in prison.

UnstableFC:
A jihadist is kneeling down for a shaking puff adder and you are clapping

You have started wailing again Are you not tired of wailing?

savenaijatoday:
It is now clear things will keep getting worse under Tinubu. There are no signs that the economy will get better because Tinubu has no plan. It's not by force to be in Aso Rock. If you're clueless, give way for the best hands to do the job. After all, we warned you.

I will quote you to have a laugh in 6 months.

Nice2023:
He is already looking like fulani/yoruba.

There is some thing about Islam I need to understand.

It makes one look indescribable.

The divine grace!!!

Badgers14:
Emefiele was working under the directives of his boss , the president

You are the one who said his only qualification is NEPA bill. Emefiele used his ignorance against him.

Our oyel wan finish? No! It must not finish.

michlins:
When many were shouting,folks called them wailers and suffering from effects of loss of the election.


Truth is coming out and we don't yet have idea the insane amount of damage APC and Buhari has put Nigeria into.


I wish Tinubu all the best cause he needs it if Nigeria is going to survive. Nigerians look up to you Mr President

Emefiele did this, not APC, not Buhari. Emefiele is an IPOB/EluuP member.

iwaeda:
The same Buhari that you were all praising for putting Nigeria on the right track economically.Your brain is touched Wale Edun.

He has to say the truth. Praising Buhari was a way to ease him out of office. Otherwise he will cause complications for those coming in by preventing them to win in all ways possible.

SoNature:
Having resources is guaranteed to wealth. If you decide to mismanage your wealth, it's your choice.

Resources not well utilised will lead to poverty. You can only get wealth if resources are well utilised.

SoNature:
Thank God for oil and gas. If not, Nigeria would be on the list...

South Sudan has oil and gas. Niger and Chad have uranium. Having resources is not a guarantee for wealth.

The fraudsters and money launderers caused this misfortune for legitimate investors in crypto. That’s what happens when a little poison mixes with good water. It pollutes everything.

ihatebuhari:
Islam can never be compared to Christianity.

Your prophet life can never be compared to Christ life.

Give all Muslims around the world visa to the USA and Saudi Arabia I can bet you 95 percent will choose USA. But give Christians that chance non will go to Saudi Arabia. Islam will be reduced just as it started that's the very word of your evil prophet and it will happen soon

You will be the second inmate in the psychiatric hospital after Odumeje😂😂

AntiZikist:
When is the FG completing their 7 Pyschiatric hospitals in the SE?

This man will be the first inmate in the place no doubt.

EnlightenedUFO:
You mean millions of hungry Nigerians are living on hope? This is cruel.

We caused the problem in Nigeria by ourselves. Do we must bear the brunt by ourselves.
