Interesting.

Peter Obi's intervention is timely, welcome and needed.

However, most of his arguments seem pedestrian and ill-thought out.

It is not in his place to manage the president. So the suggestion that the president should spend his holidays in different parts of the country or use the National Hospital or visit tertiary institutions or travel through highways do not make sense - How does this not make sense? Are you the only one unaware that some leaders are protected from real news about the reality the masess face? Will this not help him see the reality on ground?

It is curious that this same man opposed the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway. Suddenly, he wants the president to travel on highways. What does this mean?

As for the president visiting educational facilities or each state, each state has a governor, three senators, at least a minister, and several houses of representatives members. It is not in the place of the president to be everywhere. His ministers are responsible for certain beats. And you don't think leading by example matters? when obviously the ministerd and senators are not doing that.

Asking the president to go to the frontlines shows Peter Obi's backwardness. What happened to Idris Derby Itno? Since Peter Obi is not exactly employed at this time and has been gallivanting, he can set an example and go to the frontlines to motivate our troops. Every leader should pop in, even if just once for motivation. There's nothing wrong with that.

It is curious that the only comparison Peter Obi could draw was when he took Obasanjo on a road trip that triggered Obasanjo to order the repair of parts of a federal highway. Why couldn't Peter Obi draw parallels to his innovative ideas in rapid infrastructural development, healthcare, education and industrialization? Of ourselves, he couldn't because he was sorely lacking in developmental ideas; hence his pedestrian suggestions. So he needs to list every single instance?

Dear Peter Onwuabasi Obi (POO), the things you suggest are not propositions on running a country. Enjoy your gallivanting and aimless twitter threads and allow those who have the mandate to lead. And you'd rather have a president that sits in Aso villa ignoring the masses. We don't see him, we don't hear him, he doesnt see or hear us either

... probably the dumbest comment I've read online this year. Do better

You are not ready to lead Nigeria.

jmoore:
China has trillions of dollars in foreign reserve.
Saudi Arabia has more than 400 billion dollars in foreign reserve.

Slaves of Putin in Nigeria struggling with a low reserve less than 36 billion dollars are using yeye propaganda to predict fall of dollar.

Dollars will continue to be a major player.
