Well I won't judge or hate him - he is better off apologizing and hope all the bloodhounds will rest now
He will get all the help he needs to be a better person and hope you grant him all the privacy required.
The world is a better place without hate or judgement irrespective of anyone's status.
So stay off hate and let the gentleman be.
I wish both of them the best

"Do you know who I am?"

"I can make you disappear in Nigeria and nothing will happen"

"Even Inspector General of police cannot do me anything"

"Call any body you want to call"

"I won't give you 1 naira of my money"

These are strong words that should not be swept under the carpet.

QuinQ:
That thing is NOT made of cement

Mynd44:
He isn't sorry, he is only sorry he was caught on camera.

Considering he got the bolt driver arrested overnight and got his car impounded too.

He is a classic bully who thinks he is untouchable and is acting out his thoughts.

If the police won't pursue a Criminal case, the driver should pursue a civil suit and cash out

O boy go and sit down somewhere and think about your life.
Yours is to be spewing religious thrash on every thread without basic understanding.
I doubt you even have time to read your bible or attend fellowship with believers.

Israel may be the first born of your creator, but not mine.
God may interact with you and your nation through Israel, but He interacts with me through His Holy Spirit in me.

Listen, don't bother reading all my comments. Just remember: one-sided videos and social media noise don't equal truth. Give the accused a fair hearing to listening to VDM and other social media folks who are out to exploit the situation

Trendtips:
The anger you felt from his words is precisely what he's experiencing within his own class and personality and you cannot fault him on that. He expressed his frustration verbally but didn't act on his threats. So, what's the real issue here?
Do not provoke anyone!

Trendtips:
We are very fast at condemning especially influential persons. He is yet to tell his side of the story and social media is full of condemnation and everyone is getting a moment of it. Bolt drivers are something else and what is he asking for his money cos Bolt handles all payment Imcluding compensation for situation where the client refuses to pay, so it means alot is yet to said.

Mrwhite09:
I am addicted to porn, masturbation and football betting. its over for me. with these 2 destructive habits its crystal clear that I am not gonna achieve anything in this life.

I work like a slave and put everything to the bookies account and use porn and masturbation to calm myself down after losing my hard earned money. the juju that my village people casted on me must be very strong. I know all the negative consequencies of my actions but i kept engaging in it.

I work a hard labour job, working from 8am to 7pm but I still have nothing. To eat its a war for me talkless of buying other things, a phone I cannot afford, good clothes I cant afford even a decent shoe to wear I cant buy, but I kept staking everyday, chasing imaginary money, while enriching the cruel bookies with my hard earned money.

I watched my mates excell in life while I smell of cum truly I am a useless person. there is no hope for a 30 year old me.

The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has explained why security agencies have not been able to arrest the embattled past governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello.

Onanuga, while giving the explanation on the Sunday edition of Inside Sources with Laolu Akande, a socio-economic programme aired on Channels Television, attributed the inability of security agencies to arrest the former governor to the “complicated” nature of the case.

DAILY POST recalls that in April, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, declared Bello, wanted for alleged financial crime to the tune of N80.2 billion.

It could also be recalled that the anti-graft agency had at various times stormed Bello’s residence in an attempt to arrest him but his successor, Usman Ododo, had come to his rescue, whisking him away to his lodge.

The matter has been in court but the former governor has not appeared before the trial judge despite many adjournments.

When asked why police authorities can’t order orderlies attached to Ododo to arrest Bello, Onanuga said: “I think it’s a bit complicated. The EFCC is an agency of the Federal Government, and it wants to arrest Yahaya Bello. Yahaya Bello is hiding under the agbada (flowing robe) of the governor of Kogi State, his (Bello’s) successor, who happens to enjoy immunity.

“That’s the problem because if he (Bello) stays inside Governor Ododo’s house, the police cannot do anything because they will be violating that immunity that the man enjoys.

“It’s like a diplomat enjoying certain immunity; you cannot do anything about it. You remember in the UK when they were looking for the Wikileaks man and he went to hide in one embassy in Britain, there was nothing they (security agents) could do, they left him there. I think he later came out and they arrested him.

“It’s the same thing. Ododo enjoys immunity. Yahaya Bello is believed to be hiding there. They cannot storm the place and say they want to arrest him. That’s the problem of the EFCC, and the police cannot help the EFCC.”

garykoeman:
What progress did he bring to ordinary Anambra state.

Workers went on strike.

Paid 11k as minimum wage when most state were paying 18k

Poverty double in a period when oil was sold $147 per barrel.

There was excess money during obi time as governor, but no concrete development in Anambra to show during his time.

It it when oil is $70 that the same man will perform miracle or is he going to use his property to pay Nigeria debt

Our debt profile is 97% of our budget, the olodo said he will borrow additional $15b to continue subsidy after removing and continue to back the naira after floating.

In a working society obi can never become a secondary school principal.

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

*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.

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 States, 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..

TAKE AWAY:

1. He ran the most secured state in Nigeria during his tenure. Former IGP Abubarkar gave him 5 years accollades of the most secured state back to back for 5 years.

2. The minister of works then gave him the best accolade of a governor that built 800km of road network in 8years

3. Educationally , He met Anambra at 26th position in 2006 and left it at 1st by 2014 when he was leaving.

4. He was the only governor that met the millennium development goal in Nigeria in both education and health. In fact , Milinda and bill gate foundation gave him a personal gift of 1 million dollar for his achievement. Which he dropped in the state account rather than putting in his own private account.

5. He is the only former governor today that does not collect pension, gratuity, land gift and allowances since he left the govt in 2014.

6. When he became SEC chairman under President Jonathan, he told SEC to hold back all his allowance and entitlement as a Board chairman . He left without nothing. He said he does not need them.

When he was chairman of fidelity bank , he was entitled to two brand new cars annually. He told the board. I don't need them. Let me just come for meetings and go home.

You can only be angry with him. You cannot change the facts.

Here's a link to some projects executed and completed by Peter Obi as governor of Anambra State?

It's a pity that ladies in Nigeria are characterized by "insults".... Just like u concluded to call all naija ladies nudist so HV u also concluded in calling guyz lazy ass... See..? U are the one with a problem, I pity ur kids who will want to listen to ur flimsy reasons of rejecting ladies they date or intend to marry....

Plz steer clear of those kids critical decision period... Do not imagine it bad mouth or comprehension will b same with ever lady.... Only God know if their Dad could withstand ur bad profiling...

This was supposed to b an innocent chat btw us both, but I will cease cuz I don't want to get any more insulted

Kukutente23:
You see your life? Just look at the picture you pasted. At that makes sense you right?
More Christians are killed in Gaza according to you right? If the Islamist Hamas had not attacked a party in Israel, would people be dying in their thousands in Gaza today?
That is the problem with you Muslims. Always quick to find fault in others while you overlook the atrocities committed by your own.

There are so many good naija women out there like u.... Or u think ur type is just u left..?

Wait till u meet Onyeka... Graduated with a first class at 20years old, set up her medical biz at 21 after NYSC without both parents who died when sh was in ss2, even at age 26,sh is a virgin cuz I was her bf.. focused, eloquent, beautiful always smartly dressed, attractive and had drove of men after her...

Currently working in the UK after sh japa last year, still HV a striving business in naija even in her absence... Sh was worth more than 20milion in liquid asset at age 24. Yet sh is a phone addict for news, Instagram and Facebook.... See .? U don't easily judge ppl...

Kukutente23:
You really can't blame Nigerian Christians. The killing, denigration and degradation they have suffered from Nigerian Muslims is enough for them to see Muslims as bloodthirsty terrorists who only derive pleasure from killing Christians. Where should we start from? A christian corper killed in Bauchi for disrespecting the Quran when all she did was seize it from a student she thought was holding a textbook during a class test? She was killed by her own students and their parents without given a chance to explain her side of the story. What about Bridget Agbarimhe who was killed int FCT for preaching? What about the Chairman of CAN in Adamawa and his fellow Pastors who were murdered on live video by Boko haram? Can we forget Deborah? And all these are just a little out of the murders and persecution Christians face in Nigeria. How many Christians have been killed by Jews for their beliefs?

So when you see folks like k4kenny thinking he is mocking Christians, all I see is pain and anguish from them that Christians chose to side with those who are giving their fellow terrorists a bloody nose. Has k4kenny ever opened a thread in defence of Christians being killed in Nigeria? No!! But he is here opening a thread to mock Christians. So if you like open 1,000 threads to mock Christians, it does not move a needle with us. We will always support the religion of eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, leg for leg who are your nemesis in the madness you practice claiming religion

Oh and yes. The Arabs who are you religious masters don't view you favourably so rest!!

Nwaikpe:
But they didn't kill any Christian na.

unlike muslim pigs that kill christians in the name of their demon god allah
