How many Sports Festivals did Anambra state top the medals table with a governor Peter Obi that likes sports?

Bikonu rest, your fake messiah is exactly that.

Election has consequences kọ, erection has subsequences ni.

Falseprofet2:
Obi should rest pls
We r not thr giants of africa

emkz:
Well, has Peter Obi expressed his own disappointment in losing the 2023 presidential elections?

How many times did he support the athletes?

In his lamentations, he failed to proffer solutions. He only claimed the money spent on athletes was more than what was spent in the Ministry of Science and Technology.

Because I am all for solutions and no lamentations, I like to propose as follows:

(1) We can't prepare for an event three months before when we had a clear 4-year window. We need to start preparing for the next Olympics NOW!

(2) We have certain events where we have comparative advantages. For example, swimming amd canoeing. The Niger Delta folks with preparation can easily shine here. Some people expressed surprise that break dancing was part of the Olympics. I am reasonably well traveled and I can say Nigeria has some of the best dancers in the world. We can also stand out in archery and diving given adequate preparation.

(3) We also must revive Nigerian University Games Association (NUGA), Nigerian Polytechnic Games Association (NIPOGA), Principal's Cup, National Sports Festival and get corporate organizations to participate.

(4) All tertiary institutions must make two sporting activities compulsory for students, even if it is chess. It helps the mind.

(5) Let universities provide full scholarships for talented student-athletes. They can look for a sport-loving corporate organization to endow such a fund.

(6) As a matter of urgency, let people who are truly passionate about sports take charge of sporting federations.

(7) Let us look at countries doing well and copy what they did. By identifying talents and grooming them, we can make it.

Let me start by stating that I am not disappointed in Team Nigeria. Despite the fact that the female basketball team, D'Tigress, were blocked in the last Olympics by one sports minister, they made a good showing in this year's Olympics, defeating Australia and Canada. Rene Wakama made a brilliant showing and won the best coach at the Olympics. Favour Ofili, we are sorry it did not go as planned. Train harder and you'd only get better. We'd support you the best way we can. Blessing Oborodudu, you came close the last time. We hope you'd get even better. Ese Brume, you won for us before; we have faith in you. The male relay team, you surely learnt your lessons and would avoid the mistakes next time. For the weightlifters, please work harder. For those I might have forgotten, those of us who have had to represent others understand the pressure you faced carrying the burden and hopes of a country.

I believe I speak the minds of sensible Nairalanders and Nigeria when I say:

WE ARE GRATEFUL!

yemmight:
Must Obi talk

So, You mean you all are happy Nigeria did not win any medal, instead of not being happy you start attacking Peter Obi for being disappointed...you all are the real enemies of Nigeria.

TimeManager:
Na mumu people still taking this man seriously, tell me any of his predictions that has ever come to pass since 2015. He assumes himself as all-knowing yet he is obviously very empty.

-Kiss the truth!

Don't mind him, he is IPOB...The north are happy with Tinubu, there was no single protest against Tinubu's government in the north, nothing like hardship protest, it is all propaganda.

10mobile:
Tinubu bought this presidency at a huge cost. All he's doing now is to recoup his investment and make profits. He doesn't care about you, so it's useless to tell him to do anything as Bode George or anyone is doing. I read one article about how Tinubu is taking control of Nigeria as he did Lagos and I look and see that it's exactly what is happening.

For instance, he is purposely making Nigerians poor while taking over the economic means so that it will be easy for him to buy citizens' allegiance. The problem is that Nigerians are not good at heeding warnings. We rather prefer to let the mistake happen before we complain about it and get angry at everyone.

Read this, and if you have any humanity left in you, you'll be ashamed to keep getting paid to betray your children's future: Strategies Tinubu is using to pocket Nigeria as he did Lagos.

Don't worry about Tinubu, nature will play it's part at dew time, Tinubu has less than 100 years to be alive before he kiss the dust like everyone else leaving everything he built behind. You need to always remind yourself of how Abiola and Abacha ended.

sIfioksq:
Bode George should focus on his party's internal issues instead of trying to school Tinubu. The man has been clear about his plans. Transparency is key, and Tinubu is committed to that. The days of hiding behind subsidies are over; it's time for real solutions. Let’s see how PDP can manage the economy before giving advice.

Sometimes I wonder if you people even think before typing, NNPC says landing cost of PMS is 1200, marketers now sell to filing stations at 500 while Nigerians pay 700 to buy at filling stations, abeg which spirit pays the difference between the landing cost and the amount NNPC sold to marketer? Yet Tinubu will come on national tv to lie to you and his brainless zombies that subsidy is gone and you will believe him and still foo.lishly defend.

siofra:
This is how you know he doesn't like you. Any guy that's comfortable seeing you pay for anything doesn't love you.

That's not how you know if someone loves you, what if the guy was actually testing her to see her response and how she behaves afterwards? You are pretty tho that's if that picture is really you.

PureFace1:
Black south Africans have no problem with Europeans and Asians representing them even when they weren't born in their country but they have a big problem with Chidimma because she's black and have Nigerian Origin.

See Miss South Africa winners since 2000, mostly dominated by Europeans women.

The only black amongst them won because her name is ShitHole blacks in South Africa don suffer.

Kobojunkieee:
What Nigerian Media says and what OPEC in fact said.

Evidently, the Nigerian media space is compromised.

OAFMods:
And Dangote that knows how to get monopoly to any industry he likes on Nigeria suddenly can not negotiate n get crude oil from same Nigeria to his refinery ?!

You people should stop this "monopoly" bvllshit...did Dangote tie the hands of other Nigerian billionaire not not to build refineries bigger than his own? Why are they afraid of competing with Dangote? Is Dangote the owner of NNPC or a decision maker in government regulatory ministries?

Salewa97:
Atiku should focus on his own party's issues instead of playing the victim.

A man who can't even unite his own faction wants to lecture us on democracy?

Hypocrisy at its finest!

helinues:
Go to court

trutharena:
Atiku is just looking for relevance again, as if he cares about workers' welfare. When will he stop acting like a concerned citizen and face his own failures?

I don't like Atiku but can you tell us what he said that isn't true? Don't be a blind defender of Tinubu, it makes you look stvpid.

Salewa97:
Nigerians need to understand that change takes time. Tinubu's government is working behind the scenes to stabilize the economy. Let’s give him the chance to deliver on his promises instead of jumping to conclusions. Patience is key!

Philipponzaghi:
Tinubu is doing his best under tough circumstances. Let's not forget the previous administrations that left us in this mess. Patience is key; Rome wasn’t built in a day. We need to support our leaders as they navigate these challenges!

sIfioksq:
Deceit is a word often thrown around by those who refuse to see progress. President Tinubu is focused on the bigger picture, while some prefer to dwell in the shadows of doubt. Let's focus on the strides being made, not just the noise of discontent. Every leader faces criticism, but true change takes time and patience.

Chinkoalhaji34:
Those who refuse to see the light are forever stuck in the shadows.

While the wailers are busy sharpening their knives of discontent, the real work is happening behind the scenes.

Let them keep shouting; it only shows how afraid they are of the progress being made.

As it stands, the true visionaries will always rise above the noise of the naysayers.

See them, they have started again, suffering and smiling people, set awon e go better while you remain on one spot for decades. Religion have done so much damage to you all that you think being patient with an obviously incompetent government is normal.

Keep defending your oppressors, they will help you use your brain since you are not capable of thinking for yourself. This was same thing you people said when Buhari started, "lets be patient we are seeing his body language bvllshit until he ran the country aground"

Sharing nationality with people that reason the way you guys reason hurts me to the born...Thank God I can obtain citizenship from a sane country.

A political analyst said the best year in any government regime is the first year, if Tinubu first year is this terrible, you can just imagine what will be left of Nigeria in coming years.

I don't know why Bobrisky's bail conditions weren't disclosed to the public.

Oga, Bobrisky's case doesn't need a bail bond, he pleaded guilty and was sentenced asap, no long story no wasting of time or resources...which is why his jail time is short, but you see that big ode named cubana chief priest...his own jail time will be as long as third mainland bridge for wasting the courts time because evidence of him spraying money is littered in cyber space.

allthingsgood:
To be honest, i believe this ban on spraying naira is a waste of time and useless idea

First of all, the money that is sprayed at parties is never dirty. If anything, spraying the naira ensures preference for clean naira notes as these are the only types that can be sprayed.

Secondly, there is nothing you can do to prevent mutilation of naira notes. As far as naira is in peoples hands, it is bound to become dirty after passing through many hands. Whether you spray it or not, it will eventually be dirty and mutilated. If you want to keep naira clean, increase its value. You hardly see mutilated dollars because when something is valuable people tend to handle it with care

Thirdly, the law is a selective law. Why are only low level celebrities been arrested. What of high level politicians and their children that pour out cash at events like water

Finally, spraying cash is part of our culture. It brings happiness to both the giver and receiver. We spray money not only to show affluence, but also gratitude and appreciation. The law is made for man, not man for the law. It appears EFCC is less busy to have time to be chasing people spraying cash

Your brain haven't fully matured even in adulthood.

To me I don't see the boy as mohbad biological son.. No resemblance to that effect. The way he looks, smile etc no resemblance

She should rather go for a DNA test to prove her self


Well I don't know how you see my comment but it's logical. Take a look at the boy and see if any resemblance.

I am a father and I have children, when my wife gave birth. When everyone saw the child they said yes... I am the father. When my last child laugh.. You see my mother's face in her

Secondly, I hardly visit village. The first time I visited when grown. I was strolling n someon called my father's name who died 30 years ago. Another simply ask, are u from this family? You don't need to introduce your self they already know via facial resemblance. You can't hide it a lion can't give birth to a tiger.


But this days people gives birth to children that does not look like anyone in the family nor carries family trait then you start wondering where does this fall from.



I am my father's son. If you see my face n his picture, you won't argue.. This days people give birth to children that looks like friends at work or neighbours children etc.



Three days back someone called me that he saw my brother in the mull. I told her do you know if I had a brother? She said she couldn't ask him but the resemblance. that immediately he brought his card to pay he saw my surname on his card.
You don't need to ask anyone if you see my brothers or sister.. You just know instantly

If you are educated and still spill this gibberish that because Mohbad's son doesn't look like him then he is probably not his son then you wasted your parents school fees or wasted your years in school.

Common sense is indeed not common, If not, common sense should have told you not all children look like their parents.

Boastfull educated illiterate plenty for this forum sha

Funny, but it's the sad truth

If na Naija, Obiidientss go don turn am to Asun still sell the wheelchair for Alaba market.

Of course Israel and its allies shall teach Ayatollah a lesson.
Those towelheads need to be tamed.
God is with Israel.

I diss IRGC, Ayatollah, Hezbollah, Hamas and their apologists with "If You Dey Crayze" by D'banj feat K-Switch.
Great jam!

The day you will understand that Israelis are mostly jews and jews are NOT christians, that's when your brain must have fully matured like an adult...Google is just sitting idle in your phone.

You support Israel yet hate igbos that are Israelis by extension jews...stop confusing thunder abeg.

Azazyel:
One of the things that qualifies us as Africans is our dark skin which clearly depicts our identity. Remember Peter tosh the reggae artiste? He sang a song that no matter where you come from, as long as you are a black man, you're an African. All those black people you see in Europe claiming those countries have lost track of their ancestry. They weren't able to trace their roots so they accepted their fate. Now a lot of black people are retracing their ancestry. They are coming to Africa to find out more. They are sending DNA samples to know where they match. You see all those white people in USA, their ancestry is Europe. The real Americans were the Indian hunters typically yellow skinned together with those Eskimos in Canada and Alaska area. In those days when Romeo and Juliet story started, racism was still at its peak so it wasn't possible that they would exalt black people in their culture like that. Black people were viewed as lesser beings and only reduced to household chores with no recognition of any sort. If you say Romeo and Juliet were Africans then you mean white people during that period weren't racist. The white people enjoyed the story so much that they told their children who carried it in their hearts as guidelines to live life. Romeo and Juliet story is not part of black culture. We should stop trying to live their own lives. That's the real inferiority complex

What if i told you there are black indians in india with no roots in Africa? Being black doesn't mean you must have a root on Africa, it is just a skill color. Educate yourself more and stop the confidence of displaying ignorance online.

America will use their black market channel to sell Rockets to Iran. Then they will sell the counter measures and codes to Israel.



Iran is just firing expensive but useless nukes. If Israel is destroyed , then no weapon sales for America across d middle East. Pakistan, India , Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia , Palestine etc buy rockets against they common enemy.But the west will sell d counter measures and code very cheap to Israel.


Football game

The trouble maker is coursing problems everywhere while still busy making serious money on both the country she supports (discounted weapons) and the country she doesn't publicly support (black market weapon) when both of them go to war, America cashout from both countries...some countries never still get sense in this 21st century.

G00dharddick:
Dear seun,

Why is it that everyone can comment on a Christian thread but one has to be forced and converted to Islam before one can comment on a Muslim thread? What kind of religious war is this?

It is called online Jihad and seun is the mastermind of the war...a terrorist is a terrorist wether online or on foot.

Azazyel:
Romeo and Juliet are not African names. They are also not part of Africa history or cultural background. The Romeo and Juliet story does not have a place in Africa's history. It is of European ancestry. Some people claim that Jesus was black. What can you say about that?

Are all blacks in Europe Africans? What are you going to say about Blacks bearing European names? We have so many examples of blacks (even Africans) bearing European names like John, Romeo, James, Emmanuel, Juliet, Esther etc....what are you going to say about that?

FreeStuffsNG:
The truth will set you free! He is not like you still lying that your principal who came a distant 3rd in a credible election is the winner of the election.

It is because he admitted his crime was why he got 6 months, his case didn't linger and legal bills not mounting.

The Governor can pardon him tomorrow if he remains penitent and truthful Lying means nothing to the mediocre political camp of Mrs Aisha Yesufu. They believe lying will help them win an election and no wonder she believes that lying can help the defendant escape justice. Smh.

Awon opuro gbogbo. All liars will die and end up in hell here on earth and fire in heaven.

It could be a difficult decision but Bobrisky did the right thing and has learnt from his mistakes and conviction. He showed an admirable character and I am proud of him for being truthful. The true test of character is where you stand in difficult situations, he showed great character.

May God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs!

You will claim you are educated but act like an illiterate, the topic is about Aisha Yesufu and Bobrisky but because you cannot live without mentioning Peter Obi you had to bring him into the discussion, the world can now see how obsessed you are with Peter Obi... like sey dem use Peter Obi name swear for you sey you cannot survive in life without Peter Obi...Chai, the curse strong gan

Warn your terrorists brothers now

So, you now support war...who is the prince of peace again? Oga, you are not a Christian, you are not different from an Islamic terrorist fighting for people to worship their God...stop deceiving yourself, if you were to die now you are going straight to hell.

Elsueno:
I actually did not like how the whites ganged up on d young girl.

But to be fair, let's be honest, Juliet should not be black just as much as black panther cannot be white.

its much better to look for or create an original story that requires a young black actress.


It's a shame really, I perfectly unuderstand how she's feeling sha

What proof do you have that the character "Juliet" must be white?

DenreleDave:


We know you are a man, it is just some mischeivous Nigerian women that are jealous of you. You as a man is even more prettier and sexier than them and that is why they are jealous of you.

On behalf of all men in Nigeria, we stand with you as the brotherhood.

Peter Obi son is a gay and he is not hiding it, why should bobrisky an ordinary cross dresser be harassed in this manner?

We love you bob

This is injustice and we will not accept this judgement.

Na so una go just wake up dey spoil people name and be expecting God to bless you, you wan fool God abi, dey dere dey deceive yourself...If person sey your papa na gay without any proof, will you be happy about it?

LajaLaba:
U no get brain at all so for your feeble mind na because Obi love Northerners abi

Again, thunder will strike you dead if you don't show us the borehole you built for poor people in your village.

tollyboy5:


If hypocrisy was a person lol

Your brain have not matured enough to tell you Peter Obi built with his own money while Desmond Elliot built his with your money (tax) "constituency project"

Ttalk:
If building a borehole qualifies you to become a president, what qualifies you to become a. Councillor.

If you get the correct answer you stand a chance to win a price

To even think building of boreholes is a qualification makes you unintelligent, You are obviously ignorant of who Peter Obi is.

tollyboy5:
I've said it several times. Peter obi is just a regular politician but some of his fans just want to insult my intelligence.

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).

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

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.
