Mentioning Peter Obi shouldn’t be seen as a failure but as engaging with ideas that challenge the status quo. Avoiding the conversation only shows a lack of confidence in your own position.

Tinubu is the real tested failure

By status quo you mean;
Shutting down LG for 7 years?
Running away from the society u governed for 8 years?
Sharing vehicles for privileged people in the society?
State workers striking for months?
Pensioners not getting paid as they should?
Students protesting excessive cost of education?

What exactly is the status quo he's challenging?

We should stop deceiving ourselves. The presidency has a lot of power to effect positive changes in that crises.
State governors are answerable to the presidency.
If the crises were to threaten the existence of this administration, the matter would have been solved immediately.
We shouldn't expect much from someone having such moniker.

I don't remember telling u that the presidency don't have power to stop that.
If a particular issue is domiciled in ur society across 3 different presidency and nobody in ur society is doing anything about it, it's more about ur society Iacking leadership to make the necessary moves to stop it.
Anyone with c0mm0ñ sèñsè should understand what I said with ease.

Abaki5:
Because Peter Obi na Igbo
If na yeruba or hausa man e 4 good 4 u and ur kins men
Africa oppressing Africa and keep shouting oyibo dey enslave us

Last time I checked, even people in Anambra didn't fancy Obi until 2022 when it became a trib∆| agenda, by 0ppressi0n, u mean lgb0s are not aIIowed to contest eIections?

Ofunaofu:
Tinubu is only trying to deceive himself, not the people of Benue State.

The issue of Benue State is actually deeper than ur Obi vs Tinubu politics, this is deeper for the people of Benue State.
I have always said this since my first experience of fuIani tèrr0rism in Benue, it all boils down to the Benue leaders, they don't do anything about anything.

Penguin2:
Lol! The woman is clearly not impressed by their deceit and photo-ops.

It’s like a woman that is married and facing hell in her marriage.

Her husband uses her as punching bag.

Starves her of both food and sex.

Restricts her movement.

Then one day the husband heard his wife’s people will be visiting and he quickly rushed to the market to buy wrapper for the woman. Gave her money to plait her hair so she can look good.

Do you think that woman will be impressed? No!

Because she knows her husband is not doing those things out of love for her but just to cover shame.

The people know who loves them. And that’s Peter Obi.

And in 2027, Obi will come and rescue them.

The moment you mention PitObi, just know u have faiIed before starting.

Bobloco:
Why not answer directly or simply admit that INEC has effectively become the electoral arm of Tinubu and the APC?

I don't make claims that I can't prove, I didn't waste years and pay exorbitantly to reason like someone in the timber shed or like the okada on the road.
Whatever claim I make, I have the data and facts to prove it, not assumptions or emotional talks.

Bobloco:
Since Tinubu came into office, how many elections have been conducted, and how many of them have been won by opposition parties?

Maybe you should go to the societies where those elections were carried out to get the answer to ur question.

Bobloco:
Because INEC, which is expected to be an unbiased umpire, has become the electoral arm of Tinubu/APC.

Another taIk stemming from the beer parlor.
INEC belongs to APC and Tinubu but APC is still Iosing various elections under same INEC.

Everybody parading themselves as Obidents know what Kenneth Okonkwo is saying and they know it's true.

Last time I checked, same Obi is one of the biggest importers into the country.
On scale, his importation is 90 to his production, he thinks he can f00I us into thinking he has to be president before he can produce?

fortune1894:
Just imagine how building a sea port in Onitsha and encouraging the Igbos would boost the naira and the economy....

First and foremost, is there a sea in Onitsha?
Encouraging the Igbos to import?
If there's anything that's reducing the economy, it's importation of goods that can be produced here, those importations are mostly done by lgb0s.

Here's where uninitiated persons like you guys miss it...the statutory job responsibilities that is on the appointment letter of an academic staff is far less than what they end up doing...as for your advise to walk away....the normal university lecturer will do his job...whether properly paid or not...that's why you see people who are grandfathers coming to take lectures on weekends or coming to office for work... which is a complete rarity for non academics...

Have you seen their promotion criteria too...? Does it carry a similar or heavier weighing than the non academics who boasts of being equivalent or not.....even you non academic staffs know the truth when it comes to job roles and deliverables....the only reason a non academic goes for phd is mostly because he's eyeing to be converted to academic roles...else..his career progression doesn't need it...but this is not so for an academic...you and I know this truth...but penury won't make many people agree to what is clear....

Now don't get me wrong...I am not in any way against non_academic staff getting their due...I. fact...I prefer that there be no need for any useless union sef...ASUU o..nasu o...naat o...and wats d name of dat other useless one....co something something...

To me they're all completely needless...it wld have been better that the govt does what is right and pays everyone a liveable wage.......madam yemi esan the previous head of service almost did that during buhari era..I guess politics made her drop the plan later....harmonisation of salaries...i.e baseline salaries for all staff at same level in civil service....irrespective of their mda....the only difference shd then be on the quality of qualifications...training..years on the job and specifics of job roles...

That is why even cleaners are able to own houses in developed nations...without having to steal..... all these dragging left and right.

..in the end..people only got about 40% of their computed monies...40% of 1million is how much?

The whole EAA thing should by now have been mainstreamed since

You are the one making a demarcation between academic and non-academic staffs, for all I care, the two are essential part of a system that makes the system works, if one could function effectively without the other, the other won't be existing in the first place.

When you are done with making demarcations as well as your assumptions and permutations about me being a non-academic staff, you can decide to put on the cap of reasoning.


You can't complain about workload when you saw workload and accepted the job, I have seen enough of academic and non-academic staffs to already know that someone going to work on weekends or whatever time he chooses is solely his choice, not a yardstick for measurement in this conversation.

gidgiddy:
One day we going to wake up and find out that everybody in Benue is dead

Not possible.
Benue just need representative leadership, something they have always lacked, they only thing they have are people posturing as leaders that don't give a dàmñ about their society other than sowing tribaI rifts between them.

gidgiddy:
So have Agatu LGA been praying since 2016 when Herdsmen slaughtered five hundred people there

They are still praying without success

Herdsmen àttàcks in Agatu started years before 2016, nobody paid attention to them.
By 2013, the entire LGA was aImost desoIate because people ran away, the senate president as at then (their senator) pretended not to hear anything.

kafeii123:
As an academic staff...you cannot "reduce your workload"...that is part o0f what the Earned "academic" allowance was instituted.... but u people ehn....

All jobs have payment attached to it, if you are given a job that does not attract a pay, u can decide not to do it.
So if you saw a job with the workload and payment then go ahead to accept it, we don't expect you to complain about workload, if you are complaining about workload that you incurred without pay, you are free to reduce it or walk away, it's same everywhere where human beings live and work, you people ehnnn...

bluefilm:
Exactly

He probably doesn't know the role non academics are playing in the universities

After completing your master's or PhD, who will move your result from your department to PG school?

Even the undergraduates, who are the staff in Exams unit who calculates the CGPA and presents the students that will graduate for each session?

Who are the staff in Careers unit who prepares the list of students for NYSC?

Who are the security staff of the university?

Who are the staff in admissions that registers newly admitted students?

Who are the staff of the hospitals in the universities?

Who are the technical staff of the universities that maintain services like electricity, carpentry, general repairs?

Who are the cleaners and messengers in the various departments in the universities?

Who are the ICT staff of the universities?

Who are the staff in Bursary Unit?

All these roles and many more are the roles performed by the non academics

Even the VC's office and the registrar's office are run by the non academics, just to tell you the extent of the influence and importance of the non academic staff in the smooth day to day running of the various departments in the universities

In 2018, I was at ABU, Zaria.
Non Academic Staffs were on strike, the main entrance to the Senate building was locked, only the side was open and for you to gain entrance, you must be someone who has a calibre, you can't just walk in, it was like the school was on holidays meanwhile classes were holding, students were battling with water availability, electricity and all what nots.
They are all important to make the university function properly.

kingi777:
Yes, the non teaching staff do their normal work from 8am to 4pm and go home. But the academic staff who are usually fewer especially in new generation universities due to strict policy of employment are usually overworked. My experience with them is that they work round the
clock.

They are all needed to make the university run, if you are overworked above your pay grade, complain or reduce the work load.

IbnB:
Compared with what the legislators and the executive are stealing, 50 billion university teachers is dog-piss

The legislative arm is open for anyone to take or contest.
It's not gotten by inheritance.
They can all leave the lecturing job to go for legislative jobs, let's see if they will be considerate enough to reduce the payments legislators take home.

kingi777:
ASUU members would lecture huge number of students, mark their papers, guide them in their projects research work. Work from 8am to 4pm which is the official work hours; then go home and continue working, even in the night and weekends plus holidays. The ASUU member would still do administrative duty if not the department would collapse. No wonder they're collapsing and dying due to stress. Mind you, the shortage of the teaching staff led to these excess work load.

Analysis like this always come from people who has never been to an institution when Non Academic Staffs are striking.
If non academic staffs are not functioning, students can't effectively carry out research projects even when guided by lecturers, I remember pausing my research for days because the non academic staffs were not on seat.
You can't complete administrative tasks if they are not there, they all make the system work, trying to exalt one when they obviously can't function without each other effectively is faIIacy.

DesChyko:
Well, it means you are not privy to every information first-hand.

I've lost count of times I told persons a colleague called in sick when I'm aware they went on their business.

It's an unwritten professional go-to excuse. Any experienced Team Lead understands that sick leaves are taken with explanations given as a matter of courtesy, not necessity.

There's no professional environment where "he called in sick" is a "professional go-to excuse", called in sick simply means the person is sick, although being sick could be a flu or stomach upset, "called in sick" always means the person is sick unIess those saying it are Iying.
The go to excuse in any professional environment is the person is "unavoidably absent", that can vaguely represent anything ranging from official duty to personal issues.
U Iots should stop peddIing Iies about professional environment.


Lying is not professional in any professional environment, you say someone called in sick as an excuse then same client you gave such an excuse sees the person you are making the excuse for hale and hearty few mins or hours after leaving you, he starts doubting the integrity of your organization and profession.


Learn about professional environment before talking about it.

BeardedMeat:
Hehehe 😅

Are you tired of denying the rift?

Hehehe 😅

Show me just one post where I denied a rift, drop your account number and get 500k.

Agbegbaorogboye:
What's the difference between "not liking" and "hating"?
You can't become the moderator of how people should react to govt they do not like just as you can't decide for others how to buttlick politicians
You choose to worship politicians by adopting their titles as your moniker. You can't demand of every Obi supporter to use Okwute as moniker or Atiku supporter should use waziri as moniker

Where I come from, "Waziri" refers to a high ranking official in a govt, like adviser or prime minister, people name their children "Waziri", for u to be so deIuded to think that someone answering "Waziri" is doing it because of Atiku gives me a huge laugh, it's same with "Jagaban" which translates to "a leader of warriors" in northern language is the name of a politician is also funny.

As for "Okwute", I don't know if it's Obi's surname, so I can't say anything about that.


The difference between "not liking" and "hàtîñg" is something u should have learnt in school, u obviously faiIed in Iearning basics, that's pàthètic.

Ur failed attempt at trying to moderate how others feel yet coming to say others can't moderate shows how pàthètic u really are.

Guestmale:
Thank you. The conspiracy theorists taking paracetamol for another person's headache, they did it to Ambode and recently Fubara.

Exactly

hisexcellency34:
Let him kukuma join the coalition now

A coaIition that wiII faiI?

All these epistles about politicians?
We saw longer epistles about Fubara, how is it now?
Very soon, Sanwo-Olu just like Ambode will become the poster boy of greatness for a particular section of people.

Agbegbaorogboye:
Stop crying
There's nothing wrong with hating the govt
You folks once hated the govt and no one shot you
The position of the law is not about feelings
It is simple. Does sacking a gov stop pipeline vandalism? That's what you've been running around from like a rat on fire

Hàtîñg and wanting to change the govt are two different things.
I never liked GEJs govt, but i always commend his efforts that paid dividends, that's not hàtîñg, hàtîñg is when u are angry about everything a govt does.
Those who iñsuIted Buhari for second Niger bridge are using it today, that's hàtè, I don't do that.

Factcheck0001:
God bless u


They are shouting take back your country n they want to give it to the same people who they have once labelled failures ..


If truly they want us to take back the country then they should bring new faces who have never held any position since 99.


It's just like telling me to run from an arm robber n go n hide in d house of a ritualist.

When Nigerians are ready to take back the country, we will take back the country, for now, nobody will come and tell us white Iies that putting him in power is the common man taking back their country, there are governors who screamed "take back your state" in 2023, how are they relating with the poor men of the society now?

franchasofficia:
Most if not all of the people that commented on the first page returned to Anambra from abroad and were expecting to see the level of development they have abroad in Anambra at that time with the meager Anambra resources. Check the page 2 where someone on ground gave a firsthand details to counter them.


I was fully in Nigeria when Obi was Governor, he was adjudged as one of the best performing Governors in Nigeria at that time.


Also remember that Obi's regime was ridden with judicial fights with Anambra deadly godfathers, he had little or no time to even focus.


And they can call him all names but every living human that witnessed when Obi governed Anambra as Governor knew that Obi does not steal or condone stealing and doesn't do chop I chop governance like other Governors.


Nigeria need a President with that singular quality to help us curb leadership corruption at least. Obi is prudent, he doesn't steal, those two qualities are superb and highly needed at the federal level in Nigeria.


Lastly, no reasonable human being remain the same for years. Instead you strive to become a better version of yourself everyday. Obi has grown and become a better human and person. He has learned from his past mistakes, he has acquired more knowledge, skills, exposure and wisdom and have become a better version of himself when he Governed Anambra state, so we cannot continue to dwell in the past nor live in our past glory, we humans must be progressive and strive to become better today than we were yesterday

With all these analysis, how is the public transport network in Anambra?
How cheap, affordable and accessible is health network in Anambra?
What about municipal water supply in Anambra?
What about how great the roads are?
No single awe inspiring infrastructure in Anambra.

A man who doesn't steaI was in a #250m cash scandaI, the case disappeared into thin air today.
He doesn't steaI but public funds were in his banks while civil servants were striking.
He doesn't steaI he has properties that were hidden.
He's prudent, doesn't steaI but sanitation under him in Anambra was sh!*t.
He's a great leader but ran away from Anambra the moment he left power.
The haIImark of a failed Leader is running away from a society he led, if he did well, he will stay in that society to enjoy his hardwork.
