What thread?


So the opinion of let's say 100 members on Nairaland that commented on a thread is enough for you to conclude that Peter Obi failed as Governor?

Bro, Peter Obi remains one of the best Governors Southeast has ever produced, if you like take it, if you like don't take it.


In the history of Nigeria, Southeast have had few credible Governors, they are:



1.) Dede Onunaka Mbakwe - Imo state

2.) Dr Ogbonnaya Onu - Ebonyi state

3.) Mr Peter Obi - Anambra state

4.) Dr Alex Otti - Abia state


Others that tried to an extent are:


1.) Engr Dave Umahi - Ebonyi state

2.) Hon. Emeka Ihedioha (shortlived) - Imo state

3.) Dr Sullivan Chime - Enugu state

4.) Chris Ngige



Now for your information, Peter Obi ended brutal godfatherism in Anambra state. Winning that war alone for Anambra people was a great achievement.



Imagine a Governor that fights Tinubu in Lagos and wins and liberate Lagos state from Tinubu's grip, that Governor doesn't even need to do any other thing to be celebrated because it's not easy.

Obi had a very rough tenure and with limited resources as a Governor of a young state with limited resources, he still did the things he did and still saved billions for Anambra state.


Obi is the only ex Nigerian state Governor that rejected pension and gratuity as ex Governor, even Tinubu as rich as he is still collects his before became President. That alone is a rare quality of a contented man that you can never found in Nigerian political leaders.


Pls when you see good, say it and applaud it so people will also applaud you when you do good in future. Everything no be fight or argument for arguing sake.


Mind you, Obi definitely has his own flaws just like every human and every politician but his good qualities outweighs his bad qualities as a leader as far as I know and that's why I support him even if he doesn't win due to Nigerian warped and ethnocentric politics and bias.
You see , there are some informations I have about Peter Obi that are not popular, I have made some popular on this forum. They are in batches, just stay tuned.

How Peter got APGA ticket then, search through the whole forum, na my only analysis you will see and those info are just tips. Imagine the full details

My own be say anyone who believe Peter Obi is better than president Tinubu to lead Nigeria, engaging with a wood won't make any difference

In Igbo land, Odimegwu Ojukwu remains one of the most respected elites dead or alive, you might not like him, to you and your tribesmen, he might be a bad man who led his people to unplanned war according to your own logic and belief which you guys are entitled to.


Same way, to Igbos, Peter Obi performed excellently well and better than all the Governors in Southeast of his time and even till date that we now have Alex Otti that started very well and we hope he continues and end excellently as he started.


So if Igbos adjudge Peter Obi is an excellent leader based on their perception of his performance as Anambra Governor and other leadership positions he held, they are entitled to it and the only way you can disprove them is by waiting until Peter Obi becomes President and fails to deliver like Buhari and Tinubu whom their people believed held the magic wand and they became that President they so desired and they performed abysmally poor before the whole Nigerians and the world at large.


You might have a different yardstick for measuring good leaders in your region, Igbos may also have a different yardstick for measuring good leaders in their own region, so when they say this their leader failed or performed, you can only wait until such leader gets to federal position then you access him based on the national yardstick since he is now governing not just his region but the entire nation.
But 80% of the people on that thread are Igbo's. Infact, there are some monikers on that thread who condemned the poor leadership of Peter Obi as Anambra state governor but today those monikers want to be telling us Obi is the messiah. As how now

But the poster's comment is backed with facts and figures bro.


Nigeria's Presidential election didn't start in 2023, our second most important democratic dispensation started in 1999, so any regional voting pattern analysis you want to make, you must start from 1999 or even 1993 Presidential election.


The op laid bay the results of Presidential results from 1999 to 2023 with verifiable facts and pointed out the candidates, their tribes and the percentage votes they got in Southeast.


Igbos rejected a whole Ojukwu.


Igbos rejected Buhari twice despite having very highly respected Igbo politicians as running mate.


Igbos unfortunately vote mostly based on individual personality and public perception of that person's life and lifestyle.


Some Igbos like every other tribe and race may engage in crime for financial gain, but when it comes to leadership, Igbos abhor electing a known corrupt, brutal and wicked person as their leader. Whenever it happens, check very well INEC did wonders or if at all they make mistake voting the person the first time thinking he is nice, they won't reelect that person again.


If Nigeria sanitizes it's electoral system and reduce rigging to barest minimum through automated polling unit result collation, you will realize that no corrupt person or someone with questionable character or wealth will ever emerge elected government official in Southeast. I can boldly tell you this.


When it comes to leadership, we always want the cleanest among us to lead us even though we might not be clean ourselves.



I can confidently tell you that if it was an Igbo politician like Rochas Okorocha or Orji Uzo Kalu, etc that contested for President in 2023, he might win Southeast but his total votes and the margin will be very small compared to the landslide victory Obi got in Southeast.


Another Igbo politician that will enjoy massive Igbo following like Obi in future if he continues the way he started is Alex Otti current Abia state Governor.


If you compare how Igbos voted for Igbo Presidential candidate from 1999 to 2027 and how Northerners voted for Buhari from same 1999 to 2019, you will notice a difference. Northerners didn't care if their votes were wasted on Buhari or not, they kept voting him in bloc, but it was only in 2023 that Igbos had a Presidential candidate of Igbo extraction they believed was competent that Igbos voted for their tribesman massively, that only happened in 2023.
how on earth did Obi receive 89% of votes from the region if not due to tribalism?

Did Peter Obi govern elsewhere after Anambra state where he performed Excellently to have warranted to be voted 89% in his region?

Considering the thread below which is a testament of home horrible Peter Obi was As Anambra state governor for 8 years, how on earth did Obi receive 89% of votes from the region if not due to tribalism?

Did Peter Obi govern elsewhere after Anambra state where he performed Excellently to have warranted to be voted 89% in his region?

You people should make it sensible to us. To even say it's same you people who claimed others voted by tribal line and still leading with far margin reeks of hypocrisy

If that was a regular Nigerian off the street, would you come here and type that Rufai was being "arrogant" simply because he told the guy not to interrupt him? NO.

It only feels like "arrogance" to you because you feel subservient to so-called white people, and think they should be addressed with special respect due to their skin colour.

RUFAI DOES NOT SHARE YOUR MINDSET, SO DON'T EXPECT HIM TO BEHAVE LIKE YOU.

My brother, due to early conflicts dating back to BC and AD, Jews have always been entangled in conflicts with their neighbors.....there was a time they were conquered and their homeland in today's Israel taken over by the Roman Empire, so Jews fled Jerusalem and scattered all over the world.

So if you dig deeper about the various European scientists that invented the great things you hear about in the world today, they have a Jewish ancestry. If you want to see where it is written that Israelis or Jews invented this or that, you won't find any because they were scattered and mixed in most European countries; from Russia, Poland, Germany, Switzerland, England, etc and even America.
You didn't get your history right about Israel.

The way Nigeria is currently with different tribes was the same way the Jews was in a country then called Canaan.

Jews originated as an ethnoreligious group and nation in the ancient Land of Israel (Canaan), located in the Middle East.
The Jew tribe out of many had issue with other tribes in their own nation abi na country. They were sent out from the country ( Canaan) and were in the wilderness for years if not decades.

The promised land, not their ancestral land, where is it located?

Okay. Let's use the politicians again here. You know if all our politicians are actually doing what they are elected for or keeping to their own campaign promises, things would have improved right? So the Muslim politicians, during and after the 30 days fasting, are they going to have a change of mind and be doing the right thing even though we are not expecting them to use their personal money to develop the country
