First of all, let us make something clear.

You can have a rich CV and still be dumb as fvck.

Second, only a dumb person will include certificate courses under the Education section of their CV.


Certificate courses are put under "Continuing Education/Certification" Section of your CV.

Certificate courses are short courses, and it is a dubious thing to include them in your "Education" section.

Employers who do not work with professional or qualified recruiters or recruiting agencies may be deceived into believing that you have a degree from Harvard when all you have is a certificate of achievement in a short course from Harvard.


That was how Dino lied that he had a degree from Harvard when all he did was a three-week short course at Harvard.

This one too will be claiming to be a graduate, wonders shall never end... hatred for someone more successful than anyone in your family should be envied not hated.

johnog4sure:
Evidence is for the court is it too hard for u people to understand, she is a barrister she knows the implications if she lied

Don't mind emkz and his fellow illiterates, They don't know Natasha is a Lawyer that knows the implications of lying under oath...they keep masturbating for evidence when the case is already in court...bunch of educated illiterates.

...and most of dem na graduates ooo.

emkz:
Some people, especially Dramatasha's Nairaland G and H defenders, discredit the audio made by Natasha but believe the audio released by Obinna purportedly made by Sandra.

Natasha contacted Sandra to help in blackmailing Akpabio. Sandra initially backed Natasha and bashed Akpabio. I suspect there was a disagreement about payment and contract. Sandra moved against Natasha and backed Akpabio. Obinna and one woman were recruited by Sandra to do voice over in a documentary based on a text released to them by Sandra. It seems they did a shoddy job and Sandra requested reimbursement. Losing funds, they moved against Sandra to appeal to Natasha so she can pay.

There is hunger in the land and everyone wants to cash out from this scandal. There are four of such on Nairaland.

What is escalating the problem is disagreement over money. These fights will not end.

We ask Natasha to prove her allegations or apologize for the falsehood she peddled to blackmail Nigerians. With her precedence of fabricating these accusations, she owes the nation evidence or an apology.

Why do you keep writing long epistle on a matter you have zero knowledge about, basing your judgement on hear say, I am sure you would achieve a lot in life if only you put 10 percent of the energy you use in defending a politician to your personal life.

Once you see any thread involving Natasha, piam your prick don stand, nest thing na to dey masturbate on the thread.

amp01:
What's the history of Obi did you read?
Which state are you from? Did your state government invest in the future of the youth in the last 16years?

haybhi1:
If this is your choice of wise man, I'm really trepid. The same Obi who didn't invest in his state's Youth's future but bre*wery and be*ers?

haybhi1:
I'm surprised some people rate this man too much. If one is too indolent to read his history, Soludo keeps giving us peeps.I read his history that says:
1. He owed doctors for 13 months.
2. He owed teachers for 7 months.
3. He didn't build any school during his 8 year tenure. (I imagine Portable to do better than this if he was Anambra state governor instead of Obi)
4. He built bre*w*ery instead of Anambra's youth's future.

I could continue.
Meanwhile, ASUU has not gone on strike since Tinubu entered. Note that.

I am sure you can read or the decision to be ignorant for life is entirely yours.

**The Nigerian MDGs Office/UNDP Best Governor in the Implementation of the MDGs in Nigeria

INTRODUCTION OF CONSTITUTIONAL AND OTHER MAJOR CHANGES IN NIGERIAN POLITICS

*He was the first gubernatorial candidate in Nigeria to legally challenge to its logical conclusion, his governorship electoral victory that was denied him. He won in the Courts and reclaimed his mandate.

*He was the first Governor in Nigeria to legally challenge his wrongful impeachment and was reinstated by the Courts.

*He was the first Governor in Nigeria to seek the interpretation of tenures of Governors when INEC allowed elections to take place in Anambra State when his tenure had not expired; the election already concluded was cancelled and he was allowed to complete his tenure.

*He was the first Governor to serve a 2nd term in both the new and old Anambra State, that is, almost 40 years after creation of the State.

*He was the first Governor, whilst still in Office, to be appointed a Special Adviser to the President.

*He was the first serving Governor to be appointed into the Presidential Economic Management Team.

*He was among the first Governors to be honoured with a National Award in 2011, while still in office.

*Though the only Governor whose political party was in government in only one State, he was elected Vice-Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum twice.

*Though the only non-PDP Governor in the South-East (made up of 5 States), he was elected by the other 4 PDP Governors as their Chairman for 8 years rather than the usual one year.

FUNDAMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE (PARTIAL LISTING)

1. Anambra was the first State to commence Sub-Sovereign Wealth savings, the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. At a time many other Governors were leaving huge debts, I left the equivalent of $500 million Dollars in investment as well as local and foreign currency, including $156 million in Dollar-denominated bonds.

2. For the first time in the history of Anambra State, Ambassadors and High Commissioners of notable countries such as United States, Britain, Russia, European Union, South Africa, Belgium, Israel, the Netherlands, Canada, among others, visited the State. Before my tenure, Anambra was practically a pariah state blacklisted by the Diplomatic Corps and international development partners.

3. Development partners such as UNDP, UNICEF, the World Bank, DFID, the European Union etc., which hitherto were not in Anambra State started working with the State. Anambra was consistently adjudged one of the best states in development partnership and commitment to reforms for good governance.

4. He was recognised as Best Governor by the Millennium Development Goals Office (OSSAP-MDGs) and the UNDP in the implementation of their programmes in Nigeria.

5. The Nigerian Debt Management Office (DMO) rated Anambra as the least indebted state in Nigeria. In spite of visible and measurable achievements recorded in various sectors, the State under him did not borrow or raise bonds for her various projects.

6. The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria rated Anambra State as the most financially stable state in the country.

7. The State's ground-breaking return of schools to their original owners - Voluntary Agencies (Churches) on 1st January 2009, and subsequent partnership with the Agencies in Education, saw the State move from 24th position out of 36 States to Number One in National Examination Council (NECO) and West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations for three consecutive years. This made the World Bank to commission a study, led by the renowned Prof. Paul Collier of Oxford University, on this revolutionary partnership and phenomenal achievement.

8. The State also entered into strategic partnership with the Churches in the Health sector. This symbiotic relationship resulted in a tremendous boost to health care because of the services offered by health institutions owned by Voluntary Agencies, while the State restored grants to the agencies and made available to them more than 50 million Dollars in various types of support.

10. Through partnership with the Church in the Health sector, his Government funded the transformation of -:

a: Iyienu Hospital, Ogidi;
b: Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala;
c: St Charles Borromeo Hospital, Onitsha;
d: Holy Rosary Hospital, Waterside, Onitsha; and
e: St. Joseph Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu.
His Government also built the Joseph Nwilo Heart Centre in St. Joseph, Adazi-Nnukwu, where heart operations are now being performed.

11. His Government won the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (1 Million dollars) as the best-performing state in immunisation in the South-East. With complementary funding from our Government, they used the money to build 10 Maternal and Child Care Centres across the State, particularly in rural communities, in partnership with the Churches.

12. The State was the first to procure and distribute more than 30,000 computers to secondary schools, including 22,500 from HP. The Managing Director for Personal Systems Group HP Inc, Mr. FabriceCampoy described the deployment as the biggest of such projects in the Middle-East and Africa.

13. Anambra State Government provided Microsoft Academies to more than 500 secondary schools, which the Head of Microsoft in Nigeria (Mr. Ken Span) described as the biggest such deployment in Africa so far.

14. The State provided Internet access to more than 500 secondary schools, which the CEO of Galaxy Backbone (Mr. Gerald Ilukwe) characterized as incomparable to any in the country.

15. More than 700 buses were provided to secondary schools in the State by our Government.

16. Boreholes were provided in schools all over the State.

17. Numerous classrooms were built in all the 177 communities of the State.

18 As part of the efforts to turn around the economy of the State, a number of companies were attracted to build their facilities in the Anambra State. A case in point is SABMiller, the 2nd largest brewery in the world, which built their first Green Field facility in the State, which is today one of the most successful facilities they operate globally.

19. A number of other companies followed the SABMiller initiative and were all supported and encouraged under our Government; a good example is INNOSON Motor Manufacturing Company, from which our government bought more than 1,000 vehicles.

20. Anambra State for the first time started close collaboration with recognized government security agencies (the Police, Army, Navy, Department of State Security, Civil Defence, among others), offering them various types of support including provision of more than 500 security vehicles. The improvement in security was phenomenal, such that the former IG of Police (Abubakar Mohammed) lauded Anambra State for not witnessing any bank robbery in my last three years in office.

21. To further enhance security, Anambra State provided at least one security vehicle to each of all the 177 communities in the State as well as various organizations such as markets and Churches.

22. His Administration conceived and built, from scratch, the first state-owned Teaching Hospital, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu teaching Hospital, Awka.

23. His Government commenced the planned development of the Igbariam Campus of the ChukwuemekaOdumegwu-Ojukwu University, including the fencing, construction of internal roads, electrification, construction of the Faculty of Law, Auditorium, Administrative Block, Faculty of Agriculture, Management Building, among others).

24. His Government attracted the World Bank support on erosion - National Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) - to Anambra State.

25. His Government was the first to do Poverty Mapping in Nigeria, as a guide for the effective implementation of our poverty-alleviation strategies.

26 His Government, for the first time, undertook the aerial mapping of Awka as well as the production of Structure Plans for Awka Capital Territory, Onitsha and Nnewi.

27. During his tenure and with his Government's support, Anambra State became an oil producing State.

28. He built the first Secretariat Complex to house State Government Ministries that were hitherto scattered around the State.

29. His government commenced the development of the 'Three Arms Zone' comprising Government House/Governor’s Lodge, Legislative Building/Speakers Residence, and Judiciary Building with Chief Judge’s Residence.

30. By the end of his tenure in 2014, more than twelve (12) health institutions, including two hospitals, had secured accreditation; when we took off in 2006, no health institution in Anambra State was duly accredited.

31. Anambra State was the first to undergo national peer review, which scrutinised State Governments for good governance, through the State Peer Review Mechanism (SPRM), an initiative of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum in collaboration with the DFID..

TAKE AWAY:

1. He ran the most secured state in Nigeria during his tenure. Former IGP Abubarkar gave him 5 years accollades of the most secured state back to back for 5 years.

2. The minister of works then gave him the best accolade of a governor that built 800km of road network in 8years

3. Educationally , He met Anambra at 26th position in 2006 and left it at 1st by 2014 when he was leaving.

4. He was the only governor that met the millennium development goal in Nigeria in both education and health. In fact , Milinda and bill gate foundation gave him a personal gift of 1 million dollar for his achievement. Which he dropped in the state account rather than putting in his own private account.

5. He is the only former governor today that does not collect pension, gratuity, land gift and allowances since he left the govt in 2014.

6. When he became SEC chairman under President Jonathan, he told SEC to hold back all his allowance and entitlement as a Board chairman . He left without nothing. He said he does not need them.

When he was chairman of fidelity bank , he was entitled to two brand new cars annually. He told the board. I don't need them. Let me just come for meetings and go home.

You can only be angry with him. You cannot change the facts.

Here's a link to some projects executed and completed by Peter Obi as governor of Anambra State?

https://www.nairaland.com/7313723/some-projects-done-peter-obi

NgeneUkwenu:
Obiduncess and mumuness!

You are perfect example of what you typed, no sane person will reason this way.

Lanretoye:
That’s what they know how to do,obedient support you and you no know say na canal straight you Dey go.
After listening to some part of the video i observe that his brain has been restored to factory setting,he has discovered that they have used oshobe to distroy his career. ,when we tell them, they will be forming woke.you will go back there but your head go don set

Sccarrr:
obedients go be like, even spirit die for this Tinubu era😹...
RIP egungun

Everybody knows Obidients are a group of sane people who hates injustice, lawlessness and corruption while Zombies embrace poverty, hail corrupt leaders and cherish injustice. Sadly, Nigeria is filled with plenty Zombies like the poster above.

[quote author=Lifestylecom post=135332221][/quote]Didn't both of them contest in the election? Why didn't Sowore use same to get votes?

This is yet another excuse of a classical serial looser.

helinues:


Those factors that gave Peter Obi reasonable votes outside his region are no longer there

Muslim Muslim ticket
President Tinubu's health
Apc as a devilish party

Reality now

South South gone
North Central gone
Northern christian votes gone

You people just enjoy deceiving yourselves, before the election you people where mocking him that he has no structure, after the election, a man without structure got over 6 million votes despite heavy rigging and glitches, The shameless Sowore that have been contesting for over 20 years with structure cannot even get up to one million votes.

The new song now is the "Factors"...Ok, thanks for letting Peter Obi know that the "Hunger Factor" that impoverished Nigerians will be used against Tinubu.

Agbegbaorogboye:
I'm sure even he does not believe this
Probably just giving his followers hope in a desperate situation

Rule Number 1, Don't trust politicians.
Rule Number 2, Pay attention to rule number 1.

helinues:
Nothing to see again as it's all glaring.

Only those who want to waste their money and resources will make the attempt

Yes, Nothing to see again after Tinubu made more Nigerians impoverished, high cost of goods and services, skyrocketing exchange rate, inflation, insecurity and the merging of career looters under one political party.

Absolutely nothing to see again, we have seen it all, the disaster named Tinubu have proved himself as a very bad leader.

BlackViper:
https://www.thecable.ng/ganduje-too-many-political-parties-spoil-governance-nothing-wrong-with-a-one-party-state/

Senseless politicians are very picky when making comparison but don't do the exact thing those people do. The slowpoke is quick to use China as example of a one party state. But will give an excuse if reminded that China executes corrupt politicians.

He won't be alive to use China as example if he were a Chinese politician. Babariga criminal.

I did not mention any name. I have got no strength now to explain.

Racoon:
https://businessday.ng/features/article/the-great-betrayal-how-nigeria-is-setting-its-students-up-to-fail/

Positivity attracts positivity, Negativity attracts negativity... Failure attracts failure, Bulaba attracts Balablu.

I did not mention any name.

Ok, Going by the definition of being "dumb", that is if you are educated enough to understand the meaning of the word, can a "dumb" person be admitted for the courses abroad (most especially elite schools like Harvard and Cambridge) and finish same with a certificate awarded?

Hating someone doesn't mean you should sacrifice your education to be seen as an illiterate.

BafanaBafana:
From my experience, if you stay alone, eating out is cheaper. If you doubt it, calculate the actual cost of preparing a meal, check how many times you will eat that meal and then compare how much it will cost you to buy that number of plates of the same quality of meal outside.

Further more, consider the time and labor cost.
You go to the market to buy food stuff
Prepare to cook
Do the cooking.
Be cleaning while cooking.
Go out to a nearby shop to buy something you forgot to buy in the market.
Finish cooking.
Wash the dishes after eating.

All these after buying food stuff with your money o
Meanwhile if you go to a restaurant, all you do is eat and leave.

So gents, eating out is way cheaper.

Be specific about "eating out", a road side bukka cannot be compared to a fine dinning restaurant that charges an average of 75k per mean and a bottle water for 5k, do the maths, that is two weeks worth foodstuff for a single dinner.

helinues:
See filmy excuses. Which of the politicians listed in the paper have not been established before joining politics?

Please name one and tell us about his/her business before joining politics, to make things easier, let's focus on those named in the Pandora papers since that's where you choose to look at.

helinues:
Have you read about Pandora papers? If you haven't try and do so that you can be aware that Peter Obi is not different from those who have been attacking him

The last time I checked, What is the eventual outcome of the Pandora papers? Only Peter Obi gave a logical and verifiable response to the Pandora papers, The paper was centered around Politicians owning shell companies and offshore accounts, It is a verifiable fact that Peter Obi made his money before joining Politics. The current Emir of Sokoto Sanusi Lamido Sanusi was his tenant, watch the clip below:

New information reaching me has it that Peter Obi was a landlord even as a student in UNN, in fact, the present Sultan of Sokoto was his tenant as an Army Captain.

He became a banker because a bank manager frustrated his business and he decided to buy the damn bank 😂😂😂 https://t.co/EiUPtUPpoz pic.twitter.com/mSOW0sS39u

— Saidu Imran 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬 (@Saidu_im) January 25, 2023

He already owned a home in the UK while schooling years before joining politics, same cannot be said of the remaining Politicians named in the Pandora papers.


Name one politician apart from Peter Obi that came out publicly to defend him or herself on the list of those mentioned in the Pandora papers with a verifiable fact.

Nazgul:
I pity youths who fight and die for politicians. You'd be shocked when you see pictures or videos of your favorite politician embracing the opposition.

Just cast your vote and move on. No kill yourself on top their matter cos they certainly do not care about you. And even if the appear as enemies, they can become allies any day.

Soludo should give him land in Onitsha so that he can learn trading.

Helinues Yarimo LegendHero beg to disagree with you, they must go as far as doing sleepless nights to defend Politicians at the detriment of their own time that flies away like a wind while the Politicians have jolly good times together in secret and mocking their ignorant foot soldiers.

helinues:
Is Peter Obi the only opposition politicians in Nigeria? How come no one is complaining about others like Peter Obi?

You will never hear or see a sane person or a group of intellectuals condemn Peter Obi, ALL his haters are people of questionable characters, FACT.

Name one person without a questionable character that is condemning Peter Obi, just one person.

In as much as I admire Peter Obi, I still feel Nigerians are not ready for a man like him, Nigeria is filled with evil people that need to suffer some more before they get a factory reset, when the suffering gets to the point of no return Nigerians will beg God for someone like Peter Obi. Hopefully, he will be available to come to the rescue and if not then Nigeria deserve the evil that befalls her.

Things will only get worse because the Nigeria that I know doesn't obey the law of gravity, any cost or price of goods and services that goes up never comes down, thinking things will come down is like wishing to build a Castle in the sky.

Stop day dreaming that things will get better under an evil government filled with crooks and career looters changing political parties to run away from probe. It is purely impossiCANT.

I will remind you again in 2027, bookmark this thread.

REDshouse:
With all ur CV if u are destined to be dumb you will be dumb ....dumbness is not about CV..

Ability to spew thrash and not having proper reasoning is dumbness

You should start by defining the word "dumb", abi you no finish school? Just look at all the schools he attended across the globe, does Oxford or Cambridge accept dumb people?

Hate and outright jealousy have made even the educated ones amongst you illiterates, so shameful.

Someone have been contesting to be President for over 20 years and couldn't get 1 million votes in all elections put together in all 20 years that he has been contesting while another man came to take his shine by winning the hearts of the youths and getting over 6 million votes in just one election, Sowore should be jealous and bitter...he needs Bitter Obi to flush the hatred.

I read a thread on Front page where Omoyele Yele Sowore refers to Peter Obi as dumb, but looking at the below CV I don't think Sowore comes close intellectually or by any achievements in his entire life so far whether politically or otherwise.

FUNDAMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE (PARTIAL LISTING)

1. Anambra was the first State to commence Sub-Sovereign Wealth savings, the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. At a time many other Governors were leaving huge debts, I left the equivalent of $500 million Dollars in investment as well as local and foreign currency, including $156 million in Dollar-denominated bonds.

2. For the first time in the history of Anambra State, Ambassadors and High Commissioners of notable countries such as United States, Britain, Russia, European Union, South Africa, Belgium, Israel, the Netherlands, Canada, among others, visited the State. Before my tenure, Anambra was practically a pariah state blacklisted by the Diplomatic Corps and international development partners.

7. The State's ground-breaking return of schools to their original owners - Voluntary Agencies (Churches) on 1st January 2009, and subsequent partnership with the Agencies in Education, saw the State move from 24th position out of 36 States to Number One in National Examination Council (NECO) and West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations for three consecutive years. This made the World Bank to commission a study, led by the renowned Prof. Paul Collier of Oxford University, on this revolutionary partnership and phenomenal achievement.

8. The State also entered into strategic partnership with the Churches in the Health sector. This symbiotic relationship resulted in a tremendous boost to health care because of the services offered by health institutions owned by Voluntary Agencies, while the State restored grants to the agencies and made available to them more than 50 million Dollars in various types of support.

12. The State was the first to procure and distribute more than 30,000 computers to secondary schools, including 22,500 from HP. The Managing Director for Personal Systems Group HP Inc, Mr. FabriceCampoy described the deployment as the biggest of such projects in the Middle-East and Africa.

17. Numerous classrooms were built in all the 177 communities of the State.

18 As part of the efforts to turn around the economy of the State, a number of companies were attracted to build their facilities in the Anambra State. A case in point is SABMiller, the 2nd largest brewery in the world, which built their first Green Field facility in the State, which is today one of the most successful facilities they operate globally.

19. A number of other companies followed the SABMiller initiative and were all supported and encouraged under our Government; a good example is INNOSON Motor Manufacturing Company, from which our government bought more than 1,000 vehicles.

20. Anambra State for the first time started close collaboration with recognized government security agencies (the Police, Army, Navy, Department of State Security, Civil Defence, among others), offering them various types of support including provision of more than 500 security vehicles. The improvement in security was phenomenal, such that the former IG of Police (Abubakar Mohammed) lauded Anambra State for not witnessing any bank robbery in my last three years in office.

21. To further enhance security, Anambra State provided at least one security vehicle to each of all the 177 communities in the State as well as various organizations such as markets and Churches.

31. Anambra State was the first to undergo national peer review, which scrutinised State Governments for good governance, through the State Peer Review Mechanism (SPRM), an initiative of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum in collaboration with the DFID..

3. Educationally , He met Anambra at 26th position in 2006 and left it at 1st by 2014 when he was leaving.

4. He was the only governor that met the millennium development goal in Nigeria in both education and health. In fact , Milinda and bill gate foundation gave him a personal gift of 1 million dollar for his achievement. Which he dropped in the state account rather than putting in his own private account.

5. He is the only former governor today that does not collect pension, gratuity, land gift and allowances since he left the govt in 2014.

6. When he became SEC chairman under President Jonathan, he told SEC to hold back all his allowance and entitlement as a Board chairman . He left without nothing. He said he does not need them.

You can only be angry with him. You cannot change the facts. [/b]

I don't respond to children

You just did and Yeah, you knew I was right, it is either your parents did not tell you the truth about the Civil war or they did but you just decided to be mischievous by playing the victim card which doesn't work anymore.

donleo92:
Abeg they should release this man. He is a freedom fighter and he is fighting for his people. What else did you expect him to say?

A freedom fighter demanding for people's head, only a terrorist does that.

The Nigerian government have all the evidence they needed to execute Nnamdi Kanu, they are just keeping him in detention so he could be well feed just like you buy a ram two weeks to salah and feed the ram, the ram will think he is now being taking care of by a very generous owner not knowing the owner want it to get well feed for more meat. Secondly, they are taking notes of those calling for his release, that's how to identify his sponsors.

omonnakoda:
Obasanjo just happened to be the President at a time when that specific technology came

All this praise singing is ridiculous

He did not invent the mobile phone technology

We do not praise any president for being there when Land telephones, electricity came to Nigeria , When Television came, When Flushing toilets came , when water started flowing from taps, when the motor car came,

These are ubiquitous technological advancements. whose time has come

Yeah same way when Tinubu leaves the government everything achieved during his government "just happened because his was President at that time" it could have happened if it were someone else in government, You can see how hate has affected your reasoning.

Whether you like it or not Olusegun Obasanjo's name will be mentioned forever whenever the history of GSM in Nigeria is discussed, you should focus on what you want people to remember you for and stop hating others.

mach7:
I am surprised at a lot of the comments around this issue.

Some persons perceived dislike for Akpabio has clouded their sense of reasoning.

Someone made an accusation, went all over the world destroying someone's reputation and is yet to provide any evidence asides "he said, he said".

File case in court, you no do. Oya drop evidence in your favorite playfield of social media, you still no do.

Make we no jam enemy o.

It is actually your like for Akpabio that have clouded your sense of reasoning because She has said it repeatedly that the case is in court, all required evidence are with court or maybe you aren't intelligent enough to know the court will demand evidence. At that point it is only the court that can demand evidence not you or me or anyone. Those people asking Nathasha for evidence or either ignorant or mischievous.

Don't forget Nathasha is a Lawyer and not stvpid...this case will uncover a lot reason Akpabio is running hopelessly using proxies as distractions, Nathasha already got him by the balls....a single check in bank statements will uncover more. Grab your popcorn.

Whenever Nigeria is tired, they would allow Nnamdi Kanu go. They have nothing against him. The only thing that they have against him is that he is an Igbo man

Why do most ignorant igbos play victim when we have sane igbos in government? Abi igbo people no dey work for Nigerian government? Ojukwu, the man that slaughtered millions of Igbo's because of selfishness, ran away, only to later come back to work for the same government he led his people to die for, didn't your parents tell you your history? Or they have been lying to you, You leave your real enemy who happens to be your brother to be angry with Nigeria same way you leave Nnamdi Kanu who has killed your brothers and sisters through ESN and forced a stay-at+home on you to attack the Nigerian government.

It appears the trauma of the civil war is still affecting you.

Mind you, your sister the wife of Ojukwu is presently working in Tinubu's government, Yes, the same government you despise....kiss the truth.

Namaster:
"Let’s see the ministers—those shameless Rolls Royce connoisseurs—sweat it out in Nigerian-made vehicles too."

Atiku is NOT a smart guy. He also DOESN'T know how to hire smart guys.

Of all the shittiness he could attack the FAILED Tinubu Government for, he chose a BEER PARLOUR argument of extremely DUMB whataboutism.

He uses "sweat it out in Nigeria-made vehicles" which implies he knows that Nigerian vehicles are not yet up to the standard of their foreign counterparts.

YET Atiku thinks it's a good idea for the President of a POLITICALLY-VOLATILE country such as Nigeria to use it as his official car in a PERFORMATIVE attempt to pacify a PERENNIAL loser like Atiku.

Atiku is NOT a smart guy.

Atiku may not be a smart guy but you on the other hand aren't intelligent at all, a President that want Nigerians to use Nigerian products is still crusing in a foreign made Escalade and your likes dont see anything wrong with it because as usual "na my brother" he can do no wrong reason the visious cycle of bad governance in Nigeria will continue because "your brother" too will leave the seat of power and someone else's brother too will be doing something wrong which you know is wrong, that person too will support bad thing like you and also claim "na my brother".


With this unenlightened mindset it is not hard to see that this country will not be moving forward in the next 300 years, things will only get better when our tribalism, political tools and religious fanatical generation must have all perished while a young generation of smart and intelligent kids take over.
