Which state are you from? I mentioned primary and secondary schools specifically. Southeastern universities went on strike! Can we say that went ASUU goes on strike that its the fault of governor of a particular state?
Obi has his own fault for sure! But his good work surpasses his faults. Those things I mentioned computer set, hiace bus, generator sets, bore hole etc you haven't mentioned the Nigerian president or governor that has repeated such feat. If you are not bitter why can't you praise him for that? In terms of academics in primary and secondary schools level Anambra state is number one. Proof- unity school cut off mark for Anambra state is the highest in the whole country- 136.
These awards are testament to my proposition: https://godigitech.com.ng/anambra-school-girls-win-gold-in-world-technovation-challenge-in-usa/

These are just recent ones... Obi is a go

Obi was the chief cause of the Southeast universities strike. They did not implement the agreement that the other ASUU members had with government. i remember reports then of Obi trying to bribe judges with cars and removing the school VC for not cooperating.
i do not need to mention any governor/government donating computer and buses. They all do. i remember reports of Aregbesola of Osun state giving all students tablets. Giving laptops or tablets to students is not a foundational policy. We can clearly see that there was no sustainable result to such moves. Different states in the South of Nigeria have academic prowess. They will all lay claims to winning one competition or award. Nobody is contesting that; i am a Nigerian, we know that we are brilliant. The problem is attributing it to the work of one particular person. If you claim/insist it is, why is it not consistent? If they win such awards or competition for 4 or 5 years straight when Obi was governor, maybe we can attribute it to Obi. Or if maybe after Obi, they one some award consistently for about 4 or 5 times or more, we can say, maybe Obi laid the foundation and they are now reaping. But all these one-offs, and you are not even saying it is because of the current governor? Haba. Like one of the backwater awards that you mentioned, a Cross Rivers girls team won it for the High school category, no cross river governor said it was him that made it happen. There are hundreds of thousands of such programmes all over the world. Using it to claim that you are the best is a big joke. And how on earth does a private school in Anambra's website have something to be Obi's achievement? This is desperation at the least.
It's like a football team winning the league once in ten years and you claim they are the best, or that it is the work of their former coach of ten years ago, not the current coach. It's laughable.
What are unity cut off marks? i don't even know what that is. Is it cut off marks to gain admission into secondary schools, or primary schools? Anyway, cut off marks are not a reflection of quality of students. They are used to CUT OFF students. If i want 10 students out of 100, i will simply raise the cut off mark so that fewer students are admitted. There's no Einstein genius in that. They do it in all universities and faculties every year so that they do not overadmit students. Of course, the best students should naturally get admitted on merit, but the point of primary and secondary education is its compulsion for ALL. i don't see any pride in a state cutting off students for primary and secondary education. Maybe a school can do that, because they cannot take in everyone. But a whole state, i don't see that as a plus or a basis to rank them the best. If you insist, please produce the data for about 10 years, at least let's verify. Don't give us another one off link or year somewhere.

This governor that's only in the news for useless reasons, na wa oh.

Amend your ways, you are a bitter soul. I ask you to mention any president or governor that has done that, you ran away from it. Obi's investment in Anambra state education paid immensely. Anambra has been bright in terms education but the government of Mbadinuju killed Anambra state. I am also a victim of that, for one year we stayed at home. God will continue to bless that man. We were taught computer science with computers...all thanks to this man. You can't paint him black. He has his faults but in terms of primary and secondary education no government in Nigeria since 1999 has reach to Obi's height.

It is meaningless. The fact remains that Anambra state or any state for that matter doesn't have a proven consistent academic edge over the others. You've been unable to prove that, except refer to a probable fluke.
Asking you to provide facts to buttress your point has nothing to do with bitterness. Schools and doctors were on strike for months when Obi was governor. Why do you keep repeating others problem and not talking about Obi's. That's hypocrisy, that's selective.
Neither Ngige, Obiano or Soludo agree with this your positions. It says a lot.

This is Former Anambra state Governor,Chris Ngige describing how Mr Peter Obi left the state moribund via Health and education sector.
Dear Ob!diots, Have you asked yourselves why has none of his commissioners, SAs and other appointees follow him till date?

Clown...Oya wise chap what have you achieved in life

Lolz, what has my private life got to do with the discussion on a public forum. Did you run out of what to say?

Lolz, like they say "goat for a reason".

Thanks to Obi for this. He took us from 26 to 1. He gave computers and borehole. Now, students are applying to the top 10 universities because of him.

NwaliE01:
Hahhahhhahahahaa
Why are you so pained like this?

Not pained, just stating facts. Present facts, not opinions.

When someone you have been brainwashed to hate is being praised ..it hurts and I get...

Microsoft too who used their model in their case studies is also foolish like your agbero king president....sorry agbero will still slap you and collect your babe...enjoy..ebi kpa wa life

i do not hate Obi or anyone, i simply see him as a mediocre no different from the other politicians. Can we have the Microsoft model you speak of? Let's examine it to see if Anambra is consistently first in it or if it's another one time fluke wonder?

I mentioned facts like donation of computers & generator sets which you should either affirm or negate but you didn't. All these schools you mentioned DMGS, CKC, Igwebuike Grammar School Awka, St. Mary's Ifitedunu, Comprehensive Nnofia, Mater Amabilis etc before the emergence of Obi were shadows of their selves. Obi introduced a system that is obtainable now in Anambra state. These schools are now managed by Churches Catholic & Anglican, but owned by government. He spent money on these schools.
You making reference to WEAC exam as a case study is nonsense. Obi prepared Anambra for future... Don't run away from this question: Mention any governor or president in Nigeria that gave each school in his state 30 computers, one hiace bus, a sound proof generator set, one bore hole... I am not talking of renovation, teacher's welfare including ongoing formation...

Donations to schools are done by every state government every time and every year. It is in each state plan and budget. It is not uncommon for even individuals to donate to schools. Politicians, commissioners, LG chairmen, musicians, sports people do it all the time. It's not a special achievement or critical determiner. i do not need to affirm or negate a state government's donations, it is besides the point.
The point is that the 2014 or was it 2013 WAEC is the main point of Obi supporters to say Obi took education to number 1. If you don't know, what they mean by number 1 is that they had the highest percentage in pass rate for that year. Now, WAEC itself has come out several years to state that they do not give such rankings. What people do is to pick up statistics of students that passed at least 5 subjects, including English and Mathematics in each state for the year. That's all. There's no champion in that. Different states have their different positions every year. Anambra has not been number 1 in that criteria for the past 10 years after. They were not number in that criteria for 7 out of 8 years when Obi was governor. So it clearly had nothing to do with Obi's government donations.
Apart from this, such people ignore the total number of students in question. Anambra state has less than 20,000 students registering for WAEC, compared to states like Oyo or Rivers or Lagos that record over 40,000 to 50,000 students. People ignore the students that actually have the highests schools overall that actually get gifts and recognition. These are generally also students from the South, but not limited to any particular state, it varies. There is NO clear demarcation anywhere showing that Anambra is ahead of other states.
Also, WAEC is not the only basis for academic performance. We have nursery, primary and tertiary institutions asides other indices.
Anambra is not in top 10 of states with highest number of primary schools. It is not in the top 3 when states are judged by several factors including access to education, quality of teaching and learning outcomes.. It is not among the top 10 states that have employed the highest number of primary school teachers.
We can't just be running about for years with a one time, one criteria statistics. One that was followed closely by close down of hundreds of magic centres.

You lied! The Reformation of education in Anambra state has Obi's input. From 1999-2003/4 Anambra became a shadow of itself because of bad governance. Mbadinuju as governor killed Anambra state. People who stood up paid with their lives, Bola Ige and his wife as an example. For all most two years pupils and students sat at home. Ngige tried his best but Obi sanitized Anambra educational system, even this particular honor won by our girls, Obi introduced it and made it part of school curriculum. He donated 30 computers to each school, one hiace bus, one set of sound proof generator and bore hole. Anambra state will always be grateful to him, that no man can take away from him not even propaganda.

Interesting fact is that the so called highest WAEC pass rate you're ready to die on was a one season wonder. Other states have also had the same highest pass rate/percentage. Obi was governor for 8 years, what happened to the remaining 7years? What happened to the years after? What happened to Nursery, Primary, Secondary and Tertiary education? Are you saying that great schools like CKC Onitsha, FGGC, Nnamdi Azikiwe University or even the private schools like Madonna can't and don't have enough effect to produce good results or the best results? They have to wait for Obi's packaged effect. Dey play

One WAEC wonder fraught with hundreds of miracle centers. What happened the remaining 7 years, or the years after? Do we have the other states with high pass rate in WAEC attributing it to their governor? Is education pegged to WAEC? Nonsense.

LordReed:
I get such a kick out of reading Greek mythological stories, the stories have way more gravitas and wit than the Hebrew stories. Some of the Hebrew stories feel like a bloodthirsty person looking for an excuse to recount tales of gruesome death or just plain ol mischief.

Lolz, because they are different duh. One is real, the others are counterfeiting.

HappyPagan:
Good evening all. Just had a heated discussion on Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, and modern evolution theory.

Was Evolution taught in your school?

For me, my teachers would always say 'dont mind those white people. Na dem be monkyy'. I didn't even give it a single thought till I was around 23.

Learning it gave me a better appreciation of the natural world around and its beauty and uglinees and everything in between.

It was taught, and we read the textbooks both from Nigerians and foreigners. There is nothing special about it. The main point about no God still remains pointless, and unrelated to evolution in the sense that there is one. And of course, we did not come from animals, there is NO proof, all faith.

Never give up, use am with sense ohh.

austinekachi:
Anambra State; a state where a sitting Governor was kidnapped, and where schools were shut for years, Peter Obi came and changed everything.

Till date, Anambra education is still reaping the rewards of Obi's solid investment in education.

A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they shall never sit.”
— Greek Proverb

WHY WILL ANYBODY BUILD A NEW SCHOOL IN THE EAST. FROM THE YEAR 1987, THE ENTIRE SOUTH EAST ALREADY HAS ENOUGH SCOMMUNITY SCHOOLS. SEE, EAST IS NOT LIKE THE NORTH. IN THE EAST, YOU HAVE COMMUNITIES BUILDING SCHOOLS THROUGH COMMUNITY EFFORTS, SELF HELP PROJECTS. AND THATS WHY THE EAST WAS FIRST IN EDUCATION PRE INDEPENDENCE, BEFORE WE WERE MERGED WITH COWS AND THEIR DUNGS.

You get that? Peter Obi during his time invested heavily in education and doesnt necessarily need to build new schools. And that legacy is still living on. Mad people and propagandists can continue through their ilks like RHYNO OMOKIRIKIRI, A child meant for Kirikiri.

What do you mean by Obi came and changed everything? How many things did they change, please let's speak with facts and not rhetorics. We know that most of the states in Southern Nigeria are well known for academic prowess. It is not something that started with Obi but something that has been before, during Obi and after. Most of the schools are well known schools in Anambra State. They were there before and standard names; Christ the King College(i think even Obi attended the school), FGGC, Bethlehem schools, Onitsha High School and some of the University, like Nnamdi Aziliwe University, Madonna and co. These places that were established and churning out good and great grades and graduates before Obi and during his time and after his time.
They've always had people that have contributed to Nigeria, to anambra and the other nations of the world overtime. BTW, even the developed nations of the world build schools. It takes Vision to build schools so what you're trying to tell us is that for the whole of 8 years that Obi was governor, everything was stagnant. There was no growth. Either they stayed stagnant or they were going down that he couldn't build schools for the future. The population remain the same they didn't need anything. In different parts of the world they are building more but Anambra's case is different. You're either telling us lies or you're being ignorant.
You're just beating around the bush if you say that it is Obi that made them to do well in maybe 2014. So what happened the remaining eight or seven years that he was governor at least they should be some consistency that shows that it is will Obi effect the eight years that ruled, anambra state was first. Or after they continued that way, consistently. But just a one off of 2014 they had the best pass rate in WAEC that's not the standard. Different states in Nigeria and especially in the southern part of Nigeria Southeast Southwest Southsouth have this and nobody attributed to one particular governor. It is a collective effort of both the students, their teachers, schools and then the states itself not one governor. And not even when shortly after recorded Anambra having so many magic centers closed because of malpractice.
Education is not limited to WAEC BTW. Education is among others, inclusive of Nursery, Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, gender ratio, population literacy, private, public, etc. I have included some statistics below. It doesn't hype Anambra state anywhere. You can help add contrary facts saying otherwise.

Best performing currency in the world under attack. Very clear to see the deliberate attack. The sore losers will start asking for how much dollar is.

Offpoint1:
Imagine one saying he doesn't take anyone who call him on WhatsApp serious.
I begin to wonder what's the difference between WhatsApp call or normal phone call. People are funny

They believe WhatsApp call is free, therefore frivolous. They need you to buy recharge card and call them to show you are serious. If some are older than you, they count it as a type of insult to interact with them on WhatsApp. Call me when you're ready. Bros, this is already a call. Funny like you said.

Is this in the manifesto? Have you guys read the manifesto?

AmuDimpka:
but the Ronu people said they are the most educated yet I can't see any of public school from that region win anything internationally or nationally


Obi tried for Anambra

i don't know the people that you speak of, but one has to be legally blind or heavily bigoted not to see or know that Nigerians usually from the South excel academically, either nationally or internationally. It's people like you that will have claimed the guy, from Ogun state, that just did the nation proud globally was a product of Obi if he was from Anambra.
Nigerians generally are very talented people, and do well in different fields and from different tribes and states. It's not a new thing, it didn't start with Obi and doesn't end with him. Learn that and change this myopic narrative.

AmuDimpka:
Everytime it is Anambra schools winning it ...what about other states


What about these high school fees paying states in Lagos


I thought Yoruba are the most educated yet not even one school there have won anything international

It is a continuous madness and inferiority complex to attribute every single achievement in a state to one mediocre person. Southern Nigeria has shown themselves better in academic prowess for decades. Nobody claims they won their championship or competitions because of a governor except the followers of the repackaged fraud. Anambra and other states in the South have been winning competitions long before Obi was ever a governor and after.

IMASTEX:
Since when what happens as a norm in other countries become a standard for Nigeria? So because other "developed" nations are now into LGTV/Rainbow Nigeria should fall in line or you brand her backward. Technological advancement simplified use in divers ways. Each one with his/her own preference. I either get a call directly even through WhatsApp or you message in writing. I don't listen to voice note, it's my preference.

That is the major advantage especially where the person is unreasonable on phone.

i respect your preference, respect other's and don't act shocked. Using voice notes has no connection with the issues you raise or compare. You may choose to stop using the internet and revert to using a town crier to deliver messages since you don't want to fall in line(whatever tht means).

Lolz, i was taken aback by the myopic and limited thinking and responses on the other thread. Well, maybe they are of the idea and background that voice note takes more data, or they have network issues downloading voice notes. Voice notes are a norm in developed nations and in standard work environments. Nigerians are still backwardly struggling to terms with the formality, i understand that. They believe you are not serious if you don't make a GSM call or write them on a letter head.

Go and read manifesto.

It's too big and empty. Perhaps it also serves as a dining room, but i can't see the furniture for that.

Nigerian mentality. Get some exposure.

anonimi:
You have spoken well. Very well.

Unfortunately, people like Makinde have no examples to follow in this regard from the father of Yoruba politics in the State of Excellence he has controlled since 1999.

Is there a law somewhere mandating him to follow the example of a particular father of politics? Your father of politics' example is not our business. Our business is that a political office holder delivers visionary and verifiable governance irrespective of party, religion or region. If you like take example from Heaven or from inside the ocean, just give us progress and peace. Not all these rambling about not having a father or having a father.

Alhamdu09:
yeye bello on the beatz

It's a stray bullet.

Neither Obi nor Tinubu promised to build new custodial centers. Read their manifesto.

Is it about not having a godfather or about delivering good governance? Who cares about your father, but the fact that you serve and let the people enjoy the dividends of voting you in. Be visionary, make good use of the billions you collect every month, improve welfare, give your state a facelift and a future. Fatherless, fatherless, after you leave there now, we'll start hearing that you paid $700,000 of state money for your child's future. Misplaced priorities.

bentenny:
Thank for the indirect admission Mr PA to Reno Omockery on financial matters!
I hope he doesn't owe you😏

Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt. A wise man once said.

So the paucity of water in Nigeria is a RECENT observation for Obi the lamba man? SMH. This guy is not fit to be even class captain.

How much is their school fees in this school?
