Crime › Re: UI Law Student, 7 Others Kidnapped While Returning From SU Conference by Image123(m): 11:04am On Jun 20
Jakumo:
Nigerian religious fanatics NEVER learn that Papa God ONLY protects those who use common sense by avoiding non-essential road travel in ALL parts of Nigeria, among other common sense precautions.

In this age of FREE video conferencing, there is NO logical reason why any person should embark on a long road journey in Nigeria, for ANY type of gathering, be that religious, social or political.

Now the kidnapped Scripture Union road travelers will be shouting for Jesus to save them, while in the hands of bloodthirsty Islamist terror gang members who reserve their most excruciating torture for people who call out Jesus name in their times of trauma.

Anyone with an iota of common sense, and of self-preservation, would have understood years ago that Nigeria is NOT a country where non-essential road travel is a good idea.
Don't be ridiculous. Crime has nothing to do with going to place of worship. Unfortunately, people have been kidnapped going to school, work, market and even in their houses.

another student of the university from the Department of Music, who also attended the conference, has since returned safely.

Who approached presidents before the ones in other regions were constructed? It gets to south East's turn, then suddenly, someone is waiting to be approached.
What sort of brave, high level ignorance is this? Akanu Ibiam International Airport is owned and operated by the Federal Government of Nigeria through the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN).
BTW, every airport built in Nigeria needs the permission and go ahead of the Federal government. It's a plus for the Enugu state government to liase with the FG for this beautiful plan, and gracious of the FG to allow flexibility in operation and ownership. Please, be reasonable.

Igbos are trying, no direct cargo to South East, to travel abroad from South East is hell, they made it difficult to the extent that you have to travel Lagos or Abuja before you can travel abroad.
no sea cargo,
Igbos are the highest importer and also the highest travelers.

One day God go hear our prayers.
This one obviously didn't do anything geography in school, or was one of those Obi said education is not for.

"The Enugu governor approached Mr. President, noting that the airport was not maximising its economic potential under standard bureaucratic structures, and requested to bring in private investors to run it. Mr. President gave the green light.

"As I speak with you, Enugu is now fully privately owned and fully supported by state government, with the clear objective of also turning it into a dedicated cargo hub for the entire Southeast."


HOLD YOUR GOVERNORS, you no hear. Imagine if someone had done this 10 or 20 or 30 years ago instead of playing the ostrich victim. Imagine if Stella Oduah had organized this as minister of aviation. Imagine if all the past South East governors were proactive especially when they were not in opposition during the PDP years.
In this same country, few decades ago, Akwa Ibom was more known for househelp all over the country, until then governor Akpabio said NO.

The other times, he asked us to be like Argentina and Egypt. He builds hypocritical arguments on how other countries are smaller than Nigeria forgetting that Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria and was managed by Tinubu who turned it to another country in Nigeria. Today, he and his family live in Lagos.



It's never enough to know challenges, everyone man can analyze football and how Messi and Ronaldo should play. You must also know the solution. The followers of Obi know what they want.

Every year flood and no measure to reduce flooding.
Measures to reduce flooding kwa. Most of the flooding is natural disasters not man made like in some cities. Na human beings choose to live inside flood prone area. It's like asking government to reduce earthquake or volcanic eruptions tsunami. Flood happens all over the world, whether flash flood or otherwise. Some can be managed or avoided, but not all. Some are also effects of global warming which only Nigerian government cannot do much about.
They highlighted the need for proactive measures to address the annual flooding challenges. So that for instance, lives are not lost, much property and farm produce may not be lost too.

See Obi in 2019 quoting 87 million people in poverty and still using the same 87million in 2026 in a different time frame to score political points.





In actual fact, with all the noise, it was 7million people that increased the numbers. Obi made it look like a fresh 57 million people. Go and verify. He used a similar cunningman scope with Nigeria's debt.

Well documented hypocrisy like his claim of previous 87 million people in poverty. That snake keeps the figure steady to make a point to the gullible. Claim same figure before 2019 presidency, same figure before 2023 presidency. This is what most of the politicians do to twist and Obi has proven to be an expert in lambarism.

obailala:
First of all, the Pandora argument is nonsense! There was absolutely no crime committed and neither was there any breach of ethics by Obi in not declaring that his wife or kids had foreign bank accounts as far back as in 1996. His wife and kids were not the ones contesting for election in 2003 (Obi declared his own accounts). If after almost a decade of aggressive scrutiny, the only case you guys can conjure and still latch onto as your brilliant evidence that Obi is "also corrupt like the other politicians you adore", then that is sure proof that Obi is a saint when it comes to past and present African leaders. Do you even have a clue what the Pandora case on Obi was really about? or you just want to join the bandwagon?
i see your hypocrisy yet again. You left all i said about tribe to go open a new goal post on Pandora and SARS, which were simple mentioned in passing in the last two lines. Pandora is not nonsense. Pandora papers was a global scandal.
https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/487997-pandora-papers-inside-peter-obis-secret-businesses-and-how-he-broke-the-law.html?

Mr Transparent One Shoe indeed had secret businesses.
The former governor admitted that he did not declare these companies and the funds and properties they hold in his asset declaration filings with the Code of Conduct Bureau, the Nigerian government agency that deals with the issues of corruption, conflict of interest, and abuse of office by public servants.

He said he was unaware that the law expected him to declare assets or companies he jointly owns with his family members or anyone else.
in 2010, more than four years after he became governor, the politician developed an appetite to set up his first discreet company in the British Virgin Island. He named the company Gabriella Investments Limited, after his daughter

To set up what has now become a convoluted business structure, Mr Obi first approached Acces International, a secrecy enabler in Monaco, France, to help him incorporate an offshore entity in one of the world’s most notorious tax havens noted for providing conduits for wealthy and privileged corrupt political elites to hide stolen cash to avoid the attention of tax authorities.
Mr Obi also paid Acces International to provide nominee directors for the company. Nominee directors are residents of tax havens paid to sit on boards of companies to hide the identities of real owners of offshore firms.

Mr Obi has since rearranged his offshore businesses. First, he renamed Gabriella Investment. Beginning February 10, 2017, the company became known as PMGG Investments Limited in what is a combination of the first letters of the first names of Mr Obi’s nuclear family. P for Peter (ex-governor), M for Margaret (the ex-governor’s wife), G for Gabriella (the ex-governor’s daughter) and G for Gregory (the ex-governor’s son).
Of course, he can keep playing with your heads, claiming he owns nothing, two shoes, one house, no car, etc and his daughter is a teacher.
i don't expect you to readthe link as i can see you didn't watch the earlier video. You have no interest, i understand. But stop the hypocrisy.

Then the Akwuzu SARS issue - every adult Nigerian is aware of how criminally brutal the Nigerian police and other armed forces can be. But then again, I never knew Obi was once a policeman and neither did I know Obi was the IG of police or the C-in-C of Nigeria who commands the police. Again, in your desperation to disparage Obi, how ridiculously clueless can you and your ilk get that of all the leaders in Nigeria, it is Obi you want to blame for police brutality.
The guy in the video clearly said it was Obi's administration that held him. You can blame Tinubu, Sanwo-Olu or fPMB for police and military actions, but Obi cannot be touched. Hypocrite. We are so naive, we don't know that governors can use police, governors are powerless and helpless babies in government. This man said that the whole of SARS problem started with the shoot at sight order Obi issued. Perhaps, you'll say he wasn't ordering police but talking spiritually. The same Peter Obi arrived at this man's hotel 2 hours after SARS arrested him and ordered immediate demolition of his house. This means nothing to you since it's Obi, let Tinubu or fPMB be blamed for it. Go and watch the video if you have a conscience.
https://allafrica.com/stories/200606200905.html

/video/1

Now back to the main argument, without the political capital of an established political party, Obi was able to do wonders in the last election and in the last 3 years, his name has been on the lips of every politician. A quick survey of the people opposed to his candidature from the north and even the SW proves the same thing, his tribe is the key factor working against his acceptance.
Oh, so there's indeed a main arguement that you can respond to in 3 lines without saying anything. It's absurd to claim that Obi did wonders, won the elections or had over 6million votes and with the same mouth claim that they didn't vote for him. They are two opposite things. To win a presidential election, you must have the majority of votes overall, and at least 25% of votes in over 24 states. You can't claim that Obi had the majority of votes, had at least 25% in over 24 states, won over 12 states, and still claim that they didn't vote for him. Look at the post above mine again at the charts.
Learn from the past on how to win elections. Strategy beats noise and consistency beats hype. Stop this emotional reliance on hype, noise and emotional tales from the village.

Politics › Re: Governor Peter Obi's Tough Response To Kidnapping In Anambra (Throwback Video) by Image123(m):
obailala:
@Image123, First of all, Obi wasn't "beaten silly" in the last election. For a literally independent first-time candidate to poll over 6 million votes and win almost 14 states in an election where the announced winner, despite being in an established ruling party, got just over 8million votes, it's an extremely flawed narrative to term that as "beaten silly".

Secondly, you just buttressed the points I tried to make. The biggest factor working against Obi is his tribe. The majority of people who reject him from the north, and south-west are against him not because of character or antecedents; they just cant stand his tribe and the tribe of the majority of his supporters both on and offline.

With Obi's currently known antecedents, personality and integrity, if he were to have been from the north or middlebelt or even the south-west, Tinubu wouldn't even bother recontesting in 2027.
Yeah, it's his tribe that makes him not as popular as Tinubu or Atiku. Is it tribe that makes Sowore or Amaechi or Garba not as popular as Atiku or Tinubu?
Is it tribe that makes his party new and not popular or known to majority of voters? Is it tribe that makes his party not have enough representation in the wards to even monitor voting and later shout rigging?
Is it tribe that makes him lose the Christian bloc vote that worked for him due to his previous islamization narrative?
Is it tribe that will make the North not vote for a new southerner? You think North will vote for Donald Duke or Sowore in 2027? They'll either vote for a northerner or for Tinubu who has just 4 more years. That's why some were hoping for GEJ also.
Obi has no personality or integrity, just a cult following of disillusioned folks who saw him as a messiah after fPMB's administration. We know what he did with pandora papers and SARS. We know what Obiano and Soludo have to say about him. None of the presidential candidates is convicted of any crime. They all have allegations including the one i mentioned about Obi.

She's accused of bribery here, not stealing.
She was accused in the UK of accepting bribes from oil businessmen in exchange for helping them obtain lucrative oil and gas contracts while she was Nigeria’s petroleum minister between 2010 and 2015.
The UK had jurisdiction mainly because:
much of the alleged bribery activity and spending happened in Britain,
Diezani lived in London for years,
some alleged benefits were UK-based properties, luxury shopping, services, and bank transactions,
and UK anti-bribery laws allow prosecution when corruption activity passes through the UK financial system or occurs on UK soil.

These are different from the charges in Nigeria which she seems to have run away from.
