Rugaria: Forget his later day misguided politics, none of them governors come close to Akpabio. Dude set the template for solid infastructural developments in his State. The same thing with the former Jigawa state governor Lamido. He did a lot in Jigawa. In Anambra, Chris Ngige turned the fortune of the state around. He did not just chase away the garrulous godfathers, he made Anambra the state with the best network of internal roads in the country. These 3 governors are stand outs to me. Tinupoo only infested Lagos State with his Awawa boys and One million boys. When folks try to compare Lagos with states like Gombe, Ekiti or Ebony, they sound ridiculous! Lagos economy was/is bigger than that of Benin republic or Togo, right before Tinupoo was made the governor, so..?
Fake post. How can u say Lagos economy was larger than Benin republic without talking about the per capital income? An orphaned bachelor who earns N200k a month is richer than a married man with 3kids and aged parents earning N600k per month
Okealaaye: There was a lot of hues and cries about your party’s choice of a Muslim-Muslim ticket. Do you think this will fly in the South-South?
Some of us even supported the candidacy of Shettima. We advised Tinubu to look for a good person whom we will support, whether Muslim or a person of another religion. Religion has not brought anything to our table. For example, Niger Delta Development Commission is an agency that is supposed to be taking care of the Niger Delta and so much money has come into the NDDC but the people monitoring those affairs are all Christians, no Muslim. Go and see whether you will see any development. Governors running the region are all Christians. So, if Tinubu has a partner that will make him succeed, will give us protection, good roads, good schools, I don’t care because not everybody is a Christian. How many people are even Christians in the South-South? Is it Christianity when someone does not even love his or her neighbor and goes up to the pulpit to preach? I know a lot of them who don’t have the fear of God because things they do are not what is written in the Bible. For example, you arranged us to rig an election and then go for thanksgiving, I won’t come to church that day because it means you don’t have the fear of God. So, what we need at this time is whatever can work for us and Shettima is going to be a very good pair with Tinubu. I know some people who are Christians, who will donate huge money in the church, build schools but members of that church cannot attend the schools. In my house, my wife is a deaconess. I used to tell her that if Asiwaju picks a Muslim, that is who we are voting for. I have very little and I am very grateful to God. I share the little with people but those that are preaching are not doing so. When it comes to politics, they are complaining of a Muslim-Muslim ticket. To some of us, a lot of people that are going to vote do not understand what they are saying about a Muslim-Muslim ticket. What we are saying at the moment is Tinubu for transformation. We are not seeing the religion aspect of it because, to some of us, the vice president is a Christian under President Muhammadu Buhari, what is the difference? Some Christians, because of politics, will go to the North to turban. If you know you forbid something so much, don’t even go to their palace to turban. Why are you going there for? Don’t you know it is a different faith?
Chief Ayiri Emami
If Christian political office holders were the yardstick for Christianity, I would have long concluded that the religion was a SCAM
GamalNasser: Best governor that couldn't give Lagos pipeborne water in 20 years and couldn't complete a mere 50 km Lekki Epe road in 20 years , that could complete a mer 35 KM light rail line in 20 years ...
Which state in Nigeria do u have any state owned rail system? Wen BAT proposed it as governor, the idea was too high for the federal government that OBJ sat on it. BAT always have advanced ideas
Oilwell: APC IS PURE EVIL and doe not deserve to smell presidency again The most wicked and satanic government ever seen. APC is Evil With the combination of the most incompetent Nigerian President and CBN governor ever.
In 2014, the naira dollar exchange rate was around $1 = ₦216(parallel market)
I.e. if you earned ₦300,000 a month, it was equivalent to $1,400.
Today, the exchange rate is $1 = ₦710 plus( parallel market). So if you earn ₦300,000 today, it is equivalent to $422.
Just check out the naira value destruction in just eight years!!
I am not going to beg anybody to vote wisely in 2023
Why are u using parallel market to judge the performance of Naira to Dollars? Do u use black market to judge the pump price of PMS? Why are u patronizing parallel market to source for dollars? Who told u government calculate exchange rate by parallel market rates? Fake post
All those people shouting OBI today, forget so easily how 95% of them shouted Buhari in 2015, thinking Buhari was far better than GEJ. Now majority of dem have been disproved and they still don’t have sense that popular candidates do not necessarily do WELL
“I plan for betrayal, I plan for backstabbing, I also plan for reunion and forgiveness long before they happen. In life, I expect nothing, I expect anything, I expect everything.“
-Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu
This the best political quote I have EVER heard. A-swear
Bovis: Obi is a scam Peter Obi as a matter of urgency should address these allegations because they're very weighty and I know a couple of them to be true
I got this on African History Archive
1. Those who knew Peter Obi will attest to the fact that he has been a drug dealer beginning from his days as an undergraduate at UNN. He was hardly attending lectures and only managed to graduate with a third class in Philosophy after spending 12 years in the University.
2. His brother in-law who incidentally is one of the hirelings used by him for his nefarious drug trafficking business is currently languishing in jail in far away London. This is the major cause of strain between Obi and his in-laws. It is on record that his closeness to Dubem Obazie was the because he Dubem served jail term for drug trafficking because of Peter.
3. Obi should explain his relationship with former Military Administrator, Governor lbim Princewill and Col Earnest Kizito Attah of Cross River State whom he helped as a conduit to fleece Cross River State government thus contributing to the under development of the state.
4. Obi should explain to Ndi Anambra the circumstances surrounding his father's death which remains his best kept secret. Before then we can reveal that Obi's father was drowned to death by Obi's associates in the drug trade whom he short-changed in a business deal prompting the mafias to kill the old man whom they drowned bounded hands and feet with bricks round his neck.
5. Given the level of insecurity in Anambra state, "Saint" Peter Obi should explain how he expends his security vote since it is on record that he collects over 470 million naira per month as security vote (220 million naira from Local Government and 250 million Naira from the state FAC accounts)
6. Just as Peter Obi professes his Catholicism for political expediency, we ask him to summon the moral courage and explain to Catholic faithful his relationship with the Olumba Olumba Obu (000) Cult sect where his wife is a known member. It is also on record that Peter Obi met the wife at a night club in Auchi. The lady had two children from two different men -an Albino and a Ghanaian. The affirmed Catholic is yet to wed his wife in the church.
7. Obi is yet to explain the mystery behind the 250 million naira that was found in the possession of his aides. He is yet to produce the contractor and publish the contractual agreement that stipulates that this very contractor will be paid in cash and also a reference to any other known precedents. Not even the famous late Barkin Zuwo of Kano State paid contractors in cash.
8. Obi should explain why he has continued to loot the resources of the state using his brother, Ndibe Obi, Ejike Onwusogbulu and a certain Chidi Agbapu -a Lagos based stock broker as a conduit for money laundering while the vouths in Anambra remain unemployed;
9. Obi was elected governor on the platform of APGA and it is on record that he never convened an APGA meeting thereby destroying the entire party structure. Obi should explain to party faithfuls and loyalists why he destroyed the party;
10. Obi should explain to Ndi Anambra what happened to the state local government allocations and why Anambra under Obi is the only state in Nigeria without elected local government officers in place?
In view of the foregoing, we demand his immediate resignation or face further disclosure of his criminal past and present.
cosmatika: Bring your candidate to answer same question and we'll start hearing agbado and recruuut
Ignorance. BAT was the first in Nigeria to initiate IPP far back 1999! This was the ENRON POWER PROJECT. It was OBJ that killed it. But from that BAT initiative the Nigerian government got the idea to break the monopoly of NEPA by crating PHCN. BAT cannot be compared to Atiku or OBI wen it comes to power They are learners so don’t even go there
ochejoseph: Atiku vs. Obi: How Each Of Them Intend to Fix Nigeria's Power Problem
During his Arise Interview, Nigeria's former Vice President and Presidential Candidate of the PDP was asked a simple question on how he intend to fix Nigeria's power problems.
He was practical in his response which centered around decentralizing generation and transmission which he intends to achieve by:
1. Fixing turbines on the Dams that are idling away in the Northern states of Nigeria and embracing solar energy.
2.Using the massive deposits of coal in Enugu to power the deficits in the South East since we are still a developing country.
3. Using the existing gas reserves in the South South to power existing gas powered stations across Nigeria
Peter Obi his former running mate and ex governor of Anambra now presidential candidate of Labour Party was asked thesame simple question on what his plans for fixing our power problems are, he wasted 4 mins saying virtually nothing:
He referred us to go and read what the leader of Singapore and the ruler of Dubai said about what people are doing right.
His knowledge of our current problems and potentials that can be quickly transformed to fix the problem was very poor.
His response to the problem of lingering ASUU strike was equally poor. Instead of answering the question the man went off point talking about out of school children providing statistics that were already out dated.
Dont take my word for it here are the videos, watch it and make your own judgement.
Source 1:
I love that @atiku is giving real-time solutions to the power challenges facing us as a county. I believe we should focus more on the issues, ATIKU is giving us solutions, can we see that of Tinubu?
All this Atiku bots on Nairaland Wen I criticized his Arise interview on one of the post, they deleted my comment and suspended my account for 24hrs But here u are again! Comparing the LACKLUSTER INTERVIEW with Obi’s PANDORA SOLUTIONS? Well, solution 1. Is pure scam. He knows very well Kainji dam’s turbines will not be replaced. The dam have never functioned to maximum from day one cause the turbines from inception were incomplete. Soution 2 is not going to happen Don let dem fool u Solution 3 That is wot is currently in use Which has brought more darkness to the nation more than light None of these, including solar, address the fundamental reason why the nation has never cease to abide in blackouts.
Fahd11: The truth that Obi supporters won't accept is that Peter Obi CANNOT win the 2023 election. You cannot just start a third force movement barely a year into a general elections and expect to ride to victory especially in a complex country like Nigeria. A third force riding on whose back? In 2019, a third force movement was created with some of the most brilliant heads there, where did it lead to? In reality, even Obi himself knows that to win an election, there must be structures in place especially the grassroots and the hinterlands where real voting takes place. Who is voting Obi in Damaturu? Ipoti Ekiti? Patani? Gbaramatu? and some other very remote places? I am not a fan of Tinubu and will NEVER vote for him but looking at his emergence as the face of the opposition before APC came into power, it was clear he spent years building people at strategic places along the length and breadth of the country. That made it easier for him to control the people and movement he has today. Even among the political elites, Peter Obi isn't rated at all. He is not seen as a thorough bred grassroots politician, rather just a technocrat. Kwankwaso is even a bigger politician than Obi because he not only has a massive movement in his home state, he has visible influence to some degree in the North. If Obi and Kwankwaso contest a national election one vs one, Kwankwaso will floor him no doubt, that is the realiity. Forget the tribal sentiments, Obi does not even have a whole region to himself. How many traditional rulers in Igbo land has drummed support for Obi? How many Igbo billionaires have spoken for the Obi movement? How many Igbo youth movements have emerged for the Obi agenda? The truth is that the Igbo tribe has never had a united front politically even if sadly they are viewed as the minority in the country. We see daily even on Nairaland here how Igbos bash Yorubas, Yorubas bash Fulanis etc . You think all that won't come into play when the elections come? You think Obi will now be a magical unifier for all? Even if you are bringing him from the right hand side of God, it is not now at all. The labour party doesn't even have a state under her control in the whole of the South East. How many national assembly members belong to the labour party? Online supporters will continue to say NIGERIANS will vote Obi, where are the vast Nigerians that will vote Obi ? This is a country more divided than ever across tribes, religions etc . This is a country controlled by the two major parties and all political gladiators belong to them. Even Apga that is a regional party doesn't have full control in the South East, not to talk of Labour party. We also can't rule out the influence of the international community on our elections and sovereignty. Do they rate him with a strong outside chance? Do the US,UK,EU,UN etc, see him and rate his supposed influence? All these factors play when it comes to elections but some of you don't see it at all. Some of the online supporters are beginning to say that people are now voting for individuals and not party. Well, that was one of the things that Buhari rode on during the 2015 elections. Mr. Integrity bla la bla, became Mr. Corruption pro max. The people really want a change of government now even more than 2019. Peter Obi talks well, no doubt. He talks policies, plans, economic strategies etc , and he would have been a better VP candidate now for someone like Atiku better than 2019. He would have been a better man to lead an economic team and probably grow more political clout to take over government afterwards. Talking about Tinubu, he is a selfish individual and picking a muslim VP at this critical time of the country is wickedness. No sense of belonging for the other religion knowing how much religion plays big in our country. The trash talk of having a christian wife is nonsense to me because who sees Remi as a Christian in the real sense not to talk of being a pastor. Oshi,iranu. Tinubu is egocentric and arrogantly driven by the vast financial war chest he has and his always selfish ambitions. There is no guarantee that he would do better than the present, rather a puppet to continually serve the Fulanis as long as his pockets are filled. On a final note, Obi's supporters especially the online supporters will do his political growth and ambition some good by stop being violent and insulting in their campaign. You can't force everyone to vote Obi and if you need more people in your fan base, you must apply courtesy, respect and modesty. Continuously insulting people who aren't in support of the Obi movement is doing more harm than good for Peter Obi. Respectfully..
By their ATIKUlation you shall know them. Ur view on OBIdience maybe right, yet ur premise for ATIKUlating ur stance is ERRONEOUS BAT’s choice of Muslim VP is political expediency more than any SELFISH considerations. If u ask me, I never give any TOSS about political religion, to begin with. The present VP does not serve Christianity in any discernible way though he is a pastor! In recent times the call has been intensified that political office holders should be made to swear oaths of office by local deities like Ogun, Sango etc. Because it almost an empty ritual placing their hands on the Bible. They just all false-Christians! Then the problem BAT has up north is the feeling that he is difficult to control. He rides on ur platform then cease the platform from you completely. E.g AD from Afenifere! So, dats contrary to ur assumption that he is coming to cater to the whims and caprices of the Fool-ani. Atiku on the other hand is the SELFISH ONE here. He left PDP to APC in 2011 under the pretext that it was NORTH’s TURN to produce the president. 8yrs later he still think its north’s turn? or president can come from anywhere bla-bla? Obi can’t VP him. He already has led the PDP into considerable BLUNDERS and I honestly don’t even see how he will perform better in office than BAT I will rather have BAT than have ATIKU
Vistra40: It’s surprising many of you still think it’s any politician that made it possible for PDP to trounce APC in osun? Power is gradually returning to the people. And oh, your Atiku had better win Rivers state without Wike.
ReacherSaidNoth: The both of us will get the same outcome if I pray to a can of coke and you pray to Yaweh of Israel.
No exclusive benefits comes from worshipping and praying to the christian god, you face the same challenges as everyone else, even though you also like to invent and battle imaginary enemies.
You are not wiser, wealthier, or immune to disease and misfortune. It is delusion that makes you people feel special.
RaptorX: What is going to America for a Nigerian minister and a former governor that he needs a skirt to let you know, is this the first time he is traveling to America.
Political UPSTART! Aregbesola named Osun state, THE STATE OF OSUN He was 2time gov of the state Only for him to fly to America for lunch on the day of state-governor election? Dat is normal to u?
We already know hE IS IN AMERICA on the day governmental election is happening in THE STATE OF OSUN � He did not need to ARRANGE a home video to inform us about dat Believe this SKIRT at ur own risk
Politics › Re: Reno Omokri: Tinubu Is Actually The Best Governor Nigeria Ever Produced by Krismas(m): 10:00am On Jul 31, 2022
BAT was instrumental to Fashola and Yemi Oshibanjo becoming wot they became
Then why do have only abt 300k registration in a state of up to 3million people?? U people can deceive urselfs!
