You call this batch of players golden - what would you call the 1994 Super Eagles Team - Sapphire ! Diamond !.

Abundance of talented players is what lay foundation for a golden generation. Then, excellent player management/team selection, playing well and winning trophies put a confirmation stamp on the tag.

Like 1994 Super Eagles, the current Super Eagles are talented but they haven't had excellent player management/team selection to enthrone exciting playing style and win trophies. However, it is not late yet.

Super Eagles supposed to have beaten Black Stars in the first leg match. Ours is a golden generation of players while theirs is a team undergoing rebuilding. Believe me, if Ghana had the players we have they would have beaten us home and away.

It will be too bad if Nigeria's flag is not hoisted in FIFA World Cup in Qatar. And it will be a TRAGEDY if this crop of highly talented players fail to reach their potentials.

Up to this point, Eguavoen and Amunike haven't covered themselves in glory to justify the use of local coaches.

May we beat Ghana and qualify. Amen

Tragedy if Nigeria's flag fails to fly at FIFA World Cup in Qatar .

Now, everybody loves and hails Gov. Charles Soludo as the fitting man for the job.

Ironically:
- Ex-Governor Willie Obiano fought to IMPOSE Soludo on APGA as he saw him as the BEST for the Anambra State. This led mass exodus of disgruntled APGA members to APC and other parties on the eve of the election.
- He fought COSTLY legal battles to make INEC recognize Soludo as official APGA governorship candidate.
- He employed all kinds of unconventional means to counter Uknown Gun Men (UGM) and their unorthodox security threats in order to make Anambra State Governorship election hold as scheduled.
- He used his office and goodwill to convince President Buhari of safe election and Consequently killed off AGF Abubakar Malami's state of emergency moves that would have enthroned Andy Uba as governor.
- Then, he led rugged grassroots campaigns and stood solidly by Soludo against Peter Obi's PDP & ruling APC.

The fact is that in addition to other legacy projects, Gov. Soludo's governorship is a strategic legacy of Willie Obiano. #Fact

What are governors elected to do in the first place? To be a treasurer and save money or be a governor and develop the state?

In periods of multiple recessions, COVID-19 pandemic, unorthodox ESN security threats and fall in oil sales when Nigeria's economy struggled and states were given money by FG to pay salaries but still owed, Willie Obiano held his own and gave Anambra State critical infrastructural lift. The current official data from DMO shows the indebtedness of states and Anambra is among least indebted states. Please check your state before talking.

In face of glaring infrastructural deficiencies that Anambra State had, Peter Obi SAVED MONEY, alleluia somebody!! What an achievement.

Thank you, Akpokuo Global!

Akpokuo Global!

Appreciate Willie Obiano and his Anambra Airport project. No be moi moi.

God bless Anambra State!

Nobody is complaining about Willie Obiano being picked up and quizzed about his stewardship in Anambra State. He is not the first governor to experience this and will not be the last.
So, Chikwe Udensi should face his campaign amidst the cyclic monumental governance failures in Abia State and leave Anambra State alone.

Nice

These are Tinubu men.

Haggard looking Mdee is a fat head. Did Wizkid commission him to lie and destroy the image of Davido, Peruzzi, Chioma and little Ifeanyi.

Well if he is sued, let him spend money to hire a lawyer and make appearance in coury as continuation of the CRUISE.

Nonsense!

For every empire that rises, a fall awaits at appointed time.

What kind of temptation is that? Wetin concern Biden for Kyiv?

Is it hunger that drives Reno Omokri to support Atiku Abubakar who is no different from Asiwaju Bola Tinubu? So, Reno is being purely STUPID for insulting these gentlemen.

Look, the Constitution guarantees the ex-football internationals and indeed every Nigerian the freedom of association and movement. These ex-footballers are adults with interests and they are entitled to support any candidate they want. What if Atiku ignored them but Tinubu called them and told them his plan for the game of football and they were impressed?

I am sure Reno Omokri would have been praising them as wise men if they appear in Atiku Abubakar's compound.

Nonsense!

Ok

This is an unprofessional humiliation card being played by EFCC. This is the first time this is happening and Gov. Willie is not the first governor to be in EFCC custody. Why this pettiness? You could easily tell that the person behind that desk did this trash. EFCC should PROFESSIONALLY do it's job.

Even the video of serial criminal like Abba Kyari in detention wasn't leaked. Even that of Evans the kidnapper wasn't leaked. Why Willie Obiano?

Malami & co wanted to state of emergency to install Andy Uba as governor of Anambra State but met his match in Willie Obiano. So, if Malami and his co passengers are doing this to humiliate him then they don't know the man they are dealing with. Willie Obiano wasn't given the title of "Akpokuo Dike" for nothing.

Ok

Which of the governors in the areas mentioned who have looted and want to enjoy their loot would have the balls to plan destabilization of public peace? None.

There is more than meet the eye.

Women like money and comfort like this eeeh even if the man day craze for head.

... until the money stop flowing. Then, ...

Well, what do I say to a fellow man on his wedding day?

Of course, happy married life, peaceful and happy home, fruitful coitus, and grace to reach old age together.

Kabiyesiooooo!

@ur Numba 4 & 5, I object!

Are u an Anambrarian? If yes, den, u're either ignorant of local politics or u just chose to b partisan.

Peter Obi did so much work da obscures d work of his predecessors and successor into Oblivion.
Am talking of all sectors. So many roads were built. Schools rebuilt, given learning gadgets which includes functional laboratories, school buses. Anambra had bountiful reserve. etc

All d money saved by Peter Obi where is it? Embezzled! And Obiano has just airport and conference arena to show for it.
Wot are u really saying? Dat Obianos work commensurates wit Anambra IGR, Security vote he gets from d federal govt, Anambra savings, Paris fund, etc

Secondly, Obiano didn't win second tenure cos of him or his pleasant work. He won cos of APGA, becos of d thieves propelling him, thieves benefiting from his shabby governance. Look. Provided Anambra is concerned, if am giving APGA ticket, am already in agu Awka!

Let's not just go there...@comparing Obiano with Peter Obi.

Wait, do u even know d name of Peter Obi's wife? Anything like office of d first lady?

Anambra elected Obiano, but it seems it was Ebere we elected instead. Left, Ebere Obiano! Right, Osodieme! Center, office of d first lady. Nonsense!!

Yes, I am unapologetically onye Anambra.

Other governors owed salary during the depression, did Obiano owe?

What is the purpose of security vote? Did you know the security situation of Anambra and what unorthodox means were used to ensure security. That's why security vote is largely unaccounted for. It is the same in states all over Nigeria.

Why should Peter Obi save money instead of building infrastructure that Anambra State lacked. What's the essence of governance? All the depreciative assets like generators, buses, etc he SUSPICIOUSLY IMPORTED and distributed to schools, where are they today? Scraps.

Yes, Peter Obi built road network. Chris Ngige did more in that expect before him.

I am NOT saying that Peter Obi didn't try but let's quit making him larger than life. He is just ordinary selfishly exploitative businessman/politician like others. Nothing special.

Gavel:
I am super excited as I was conferred with a doctorate degree in Law today at the 15th and 16th combined convocation of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka.

Congrats bro. Super proud of this feat of yours. May your journey ahead be fruitful.

udele1:
Lol. Sounds like a novice. Do you know what a bedroom friend means? Peter obi was a bedroom friend to goodluck jonathan, jonathan would never think of insulting Peter obi with aviation minister.

Peter obi is one that visits jonathan and can enter his bedroom.

Same way he vacated his accommodation for obasanjo to sleep, when he visited.

For the fact that you said jonathan wanted to make him aviation minister, means you get your information from the beer parlour.

Unlike fashola and Amechi who become everything they are via politics, peter obi chaired bank boards and several other companies. There is no business he wanted to do, that he would not have the funding from the bank.

As for mbaka. Peter obi that has met with pope one on one, it is now father mbaka that will pressure him to do what he does not want to do.

As for politcal votes. Jonathan lost, power changed hands. Politicians were hungry and cheap, obiano could easily by them.

Secondly politicians in PDP or any party will not like peter obi, because of his type of government. Savings and investment, is something politicians don't like.

I am a novice? I get my info from beer parlour? This are the pieces of evidence that show Peter Obi desired to be compensated for dumping APGA for PDP.

Take a look, read and rest.

Don't bamboozle with Peter Obi meeting with the Pope. Orji Uzor Kalu and many other Nigerians have done that. Meeting the Pope is by prior appointment and clearance like any other president. By the way, I am Catholic.

Figments of your imagination.

1. Peter Obi dumped both APGA and the then Gov. Willie Obiano to support Good luck Jonathan's second term bid. He was to be compensated with Minister of Aviation but the original members of PDP refused and Jonathan pulled back. He has self-imposed curse hanging on head for betraying APGA.

2. Peter Obi went to Fr. Mbaka's annual harvest event but refused to donate money towards breaking of kolanut. Fr. Mbaka pleaded with him to just mention an amount no matter what it was. Peter Obi insisted that it was against his personal policy and that he will adopt a project. Fr. Mbaka pleaded with him again to jettison his personal policy for a moment and just mention an amount for a reason. He disagreed. Then Fr. Mbaka said Peter Obi can't be Vice President because of his stubborness and tight fist.

3. Chief Victor Umeh like any other politician would always try to take advantage of opportunities to advance his interests. Nothing particularly bad about it. And by the way, his career hasn't ended and he is sure running for Senate in 2023 on APGA platform. In APGA politics, Gov. Soludo needs Victor Umeh just Victor Umeh needs him. He played active role in Prof. Soludo's rigorous campaign in spite of the ESN security threats.

4. No matter what happens, in twenty years time the airport and international conference center will testify to Obiano's stewardship and Peter Obi has nothing to show except stories.

5. If Peter Obi is popular in Anambra State, how come Willie Obiano was reelected against his candidate by winning all LGAs? And once again, Willie Obiano's candidate Prof. Soludo defeated his anointed PDP candidate in 2021.

6. When he was made VP to Atiku, Peter Obi couldn't even mobilise for ordinary campaign in SE because he lacks the social capital. He once went on campaign trail to Kano with Atiku and was so disappointingly stiff and that was the last he campaigned up North.

7. Look, It is alright to stan Peter Obi but don't ever paint him as a SAINTLY VICTIM and paint others in bad light. The fact is that he is no different from any other Nigerian politicians in selfishness, betrayal and securing financial gains.
