First, let us note that this section of the interview was about security and the menace of banditry.
We begin at 33:09
FULL TRANSCRIPT OF THE SECTION OF ARISE INTERVIEW WITH PETER OBI @TONYEBARCANISTA POSTED
Rufai: OK, but Mr Peter Obi, it is not as easy as you just said it is. Should I tell you why? Because you have to buy more guns to fight the bandits that don't make people farm on the farmlands, to fight the bandits that killed 100 farmers in Zababare, to fight the legacy issues of infrastructure that would inhibit production, and a lot of people keep asking, you keep talking about production but as a businessman you used to import a lot into this country, those are some of the things they hold against you. You talk about production but you're a big net importer into this country. And, how will you solve those legacy issues? That's why we talked about security.
Peter Obi cuts in...
Peter Obi: Let me tell you, I talked about security, let me tell you, Rufai. I've been going around this country. I've visited 5 prisons and I can invite you to go to one with me. I sat down with some when I went into a prison, there were 1000 people and I interviewed 100.
Why were you involved in kidnapping? I have no job! Why were you involved in cultism? I have no job! Why were you involved in kidnapping? I have no job!
And I said to them, how much were you paid in the last operation? Rufai, you won't believe it, N30,000, N25,000, N100,000. What this shows is that if these people can have a steady income of N50,000, they won't be involved in that. The more you pull people out of poverty, I've said repeatedly, the more you reduce criminality. We have these things in Brazil. I can show you countries where it has been practised. All these agitations and criminality were all over the place in Brazil until Brazil decided to do what I am telling you now, investing in these people. It means these things I'm going to do is going to reduce this criminality because they will be part of the farmers earning income. Today bandits are taking 8 local Governments in Niger state, I'm telling you if you put money in the farther land of Niger state, you'll reduce them by 50%. Because they've found something they're doing that'll give them money. What else do they want?
Rufai cuts in....
Rufai: You talked about Brazil, are you going to do social investment because it is under .....(Inaudible - PO and Rufai were speaking at the same time)
Peter Obi: I might not, I will do a combination of everything. There's a combination of everything. You're not going to do one straight thing. It's a combination of everything that will say, we are going to pull these people out of poverty, because the more we do it, so we deal with those legacy issues. On the issue of what my importation is, let me tell you what I did and I'll like to refer to Reuben cos I've known Reuben for over 30 years. Go and ask anybody what my business is, that is what I even studied. If you go and read what I studied at Harvard, it's market-to-market management. I'm marketing, I'm a distributor. Go and ask Coca-Cola, they're in Nigeria, ask other people as at the time I was in business, I was one of their biggest distributors. It's like seeing Walmart, Walmart today sells goods from Vietnam, India, etc but they don't manufacture them. My job is not to manufacture, although I invested in manufacturing companies too, my job is distribution so I distribute. When I was doing business, less than a quarter, 25% of what I sell are imported goods, the rest are manufactured goods. It's a mixture so that when you go into the supermarket, you'll see local products and others. And, I was productive.
We stopped at 37:12
TonyeBarcanista, we understand your desperation and you're truly deserving of our pity. What else can you do when your party don't have anything to campaign with?
Finally someone with brain not that shameless @tony whatever and their co mods that push cut and join lies to front page
ShaqFu: "He who alleged, must prove". It's as simple as that. He said Obi answered the question. Let him provide where Obi answered the question. It's that simple. It is only people like you who don't have any semblance of sense that doesn't know this, and you dare call who shameless, you discombobulated nincompoop.
You remain shameless. My joy is that you know deep inside you how shameless you are.
ShaqFu: Can you state the response he gave to that econmic question Rufai asked him? Since you said he answered it, you should be able to state it here crystal and clear.
I await your response.
What stop you from uploading the full video rather than your cut n join? Shameless people
TonyeBarcanista: Watch well, NOTHING was cropped in his answer... you can check Arise TV for the full interview...
Shut up and stop lying . The full video is online . He was asked 2 questions about security and importation. You cropped out security question . Put the full question and all his answers . He answered about importation saying " he import only 25% of his goods and the rest is local made .
He also gave example no one sells %100 local made.
The problem here is nairaland mods that keep pushing lies to front page . What a shame
Mr Man why are you so foolish? You said you watched the interview yet you come here posting trash. Obi was asked two questions at once he first answered one which is about criminality then said " about the import question" so you didn't watch that part?
yinkkus: If Appeal court knew he jumped bail and still discharged the case then let the supreme court upheld the judgement of the lower court not your own interpretation.
yinkkus: He can be arrested if he enters the country by himself or extradition process is instittuted against him with the help of other country , buf the FG says he jumped bail (although they say his house was invaded).
Jumping bail doesn't justify adoption. You just can't bring someone into any country and start trial on that person.
SmartPolician: First of all, Nnamdi Kanu was released with certain conditions, including not holding a rally and leaving the country. I mean the time Senator Abaribe stood in as surety for him. So, to have left the country, it means he jumped bail. Yes, I know that those soldiers who attacked his home were the cause.
For me, the most logical thing to do now is to release him, plant spies around his home so he doesn't run away. Allow him to stay for two weeks or so, and pick him up again with fresh charges. The FG counsel should remind the prosecuting judge the conditions for which he was originally discharged and that they now have fresh charges against him.
Well, I understand that the idea is to keep him in the DSS custody until Buhari leaves the office because Buhari is not ready or willing to release him. He has made that abundantly clear. So, for me, that's the best way to approach the matter.
Your logic is baseless in law . You think appeal court didn't know he jumped bail and still discharged the case?
Try and learn and stop being sentimental.
Jumping bail or jumping fence makes no difference on how he crossed the border. No court will hear that case again untill he leaves the country and re-enter by him self .
Or fed govt allow him leave and immediately notify any country he lands for his arrest and start process of rendition legally .
By whom? African bad leaders declared war on its citizens.... European countries just manipulated the opportunity for its own gain.
How can doctors who's citizens live depend on be on strike due to bad government decisions and we expect the doctors and nurses to fold their arms sit at home and be counting stars
SmartPolician: The federal government can never win any case against Nnamdi Kanu because you cannot kidnap someone in another country and take him to court. That's outright abuse of due process. You cannot do today what Buhari did when he was a soldier - Nigeria is a democracy for God's sake!
They can continue to press charges against Kanu, but they must release him first and it should be established that he was released from DSS custody. Afterwards, you can press fresh charges. That's the only way a judge can hear the case and continue litigation. I thought Malami was a reasonable man.
They can't release him and rearrest him again on any charges cos he still illegally in Nigeria . You can only arrest him again if he leaves the country and return on his own only then can any court in Nigeria have jurisdiction to hear any case concerning him.
That's exactly reason the fed govt never release and rearrest him
AntiChristian: God regretted? That means he never knew if he gave man such he would misuse it. If he had knew he won't regret! Is your God really God?
You still didn't answer the questions!
My questions are:
Wasn't the biblical God already aware before creating Adam the choices and actions Adam would make?
Why allow Lucifer/Satan a place to deceive them?
Why didn't the biblical God forgive Adam there and then and save Himself the stress of having to later kill himself/a part of himself or His son?
Let me explain nicely . Remember God got angels before he made man, Angels got powers but lack one thing ( image of God). If an Angel sins , they receive instant punishment they don't disobey God's order.
God decided to make something He can talk to like him. Something he can have dominion with. And for him to do that that thing must have His image. Remember, Angels don't talk to God , they Answer to Him. That's why God made Man in His image . And image of God we talking about is His ability to be God ( do what pleases you).
Also remember God gave Adam power to rule all over Earth just as He rule Heaven . Even Man named all the living and non living in earth .
And yes! God is God and He is Merciful Endures forever that's why you can still be alive asking this questions.
Wait , I still don't understand why unhealthy person will be aspiring to govern a nation of 200 million people only with the intention of hiring healthy sound minds as cabinet.
What stops the nation from voting in a sound healthy to govern yet still having same cabinet?
Why the minds of Nigerians so evil that good thing looks bad to them.
Wasn't the biblical God already aware before creating Adam the choices and actions Adam would make?
Why allow Lucifer/Satan a place to deceive them?
Why didn't the biblical God forgive Adam there and then and save Himself the stress of having to later kill himself/a part of himself or His son?
God made man in his image . Image of God is the ability to choose whatever He wishes and that's what God regretted giving man.
He never regret making man he only regretted making man in his image because he can't take that away .
That's why you can even joke or say anything you wish as you like nothing happens. You can choose to worship God of not ....you can even choose to continue in Adams sin by eating the Apple which leads to destruction of man and places guilt and condemnation in him.
omenka: Zombiedients probably think everyone is as foolish as they are. I guess they thought no one would bother to open the link itself to confirm when the publication was made.
