Obiedun: He was even arrested under Buhari's administration not Tinubu. KANU is a terrorist and a leader of terrorist organization. He should be dealt with.
The bolded are the lies and propaganda they are feeding you lots in tinibu propaganda camp. And is only in your head.
helinues: Let the judgement start from Nnamdi Kanu
He never brought a single development to South East with his group apart from calamity
When did this your fake love for SE start?
What has tinibu that has been sitting on our collective wealth done for SE since he grabbed power? Don't you think that both the person that suggested and the person that ordered, the kpaings of innocent protesters at lekki toll gate should be punished too?
HeatSeeker: But there are others as bad, even far worse than him, that are roaming free. Others have been let off the hook. To the rational mind, he should be let go for the sake of fairness.
Ask helinues why he is not saying anything in condemnation of other terrorism sponsors and supporters.
The reason why helinues and co. What Kanu to be sentenced to death is because, he is Igbo the second reason is because they know that what Kanu was doing, is capable of dividing Nigeria and the pretentious lovers of Nigeria don't want Nigeria to divide. They need the oil and other mineral resources from the eastern region to keep flowing so that they can feed.
so once a governor switches parties in Nigeria, all the votes AUTOMATICALLY go the new party with no say from the voters?
Everyday you lot show the world how wicked you all are, with no care for progress of the largest black nation.
Nigeria is filled up with some of the dumbest humans on the planet and it shows.
Imagine that year 2025, still no water and light for the dumbest humans in the world.
Some would ask, do you think the dumbest humans in the world have been able to guarantee 24/7 electricity, and another would just laugh, like how can these dumb baboons ever do anything right
This is for helinues, yarimo, Donperignon and Sharpsharp00123

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 Stated, 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.
Domperignon, can you list tinibu's data the way Amimaigwe just did to that of Obi?
DomPerignon: His supporters are now claiming the lone brewry project Giringory diverted state funds to facilitate it's construction in Anambra are the best way to go.
Note that Giringory has no school, roads , hospitals or anything tangible to point to as his 8yr legacy of maladministration of Anambra for 8 yrs.
Now his mob supporters are busy saying a misguided and highly suspect investment of Anambra state funds in a private brewry operation is far better than any social infrastructure .
At this point we can say that the mob will be in support of their messiah opening breweries and alcohol distillery plants in every state of the federation as part of his economic revival. No roads because after all, Giringory hates roads as confirmed with his open condemnation of the Lagos - Calabar Highway.
No investment in public education as Giringory never bothered to invest in any when he was governor and would rather encourage miracle centres or have education priced for only the ultra rich as confirmed by his past statements on his running mate's private for profit Baze university still operating during an ASSU strike.
Definitely no hospitals or investments towards building medical infrastructure and seeing to the welfare of medical practitioners. After all, Anambra medical professionals union went on a 13 month strike when Giringory was governor over demands for better pay. Giringory got them to end their strike after activating the "no work , no pay" policy - the first time it was ever used by government officials to force an end to a strike. Giringory's neglect of the medical and health field contributed greatly to the japa of medical health professionals. But not to worry, Giringory will build breweries in each state even in the fundamental Islamic north so that we can all be drunk and forget about everything like the way he did for Anambra people
Which industry did tinibu build in Nigeria since he grabbed power? What had he ever made Nigeria to produce since he grabbed power rather than importation?
Giftimoni: Can you imagine Peter Obi is asking Nigerians to protest. Protest what? A government that has paid off our entire debt to the International Monetary Fund? Debt that other governments took? Peter, bring your son, Oseloka back from London to Nigeria to lead your protest, then Nigerians will know you are serious!
Was it Obi's son that led the protest against GEJ government? Where are those people that said that, GEJ government was bad and they were doing series of protests against the government. Let them come and finish what they started.
LegendHero: If you have a mind of your own then how did Ebonyi governor of APC win his re-election?
Everyday you guys say you detest APC yet you vote Umahi twice and reelect his successor.
You and I knows that umahi did a wonderful job in Ebonyi state with little resources. So it was assumed that his successor will follow Umahi's footsteps.
In tinibu's case, you and I knows that he is a failure running a bad government. And Igbos hate leaders like that. That's what Nobody will vote him in SE come 2027.
LegendHero: He does not need to rig. He is the Governor, he has supporters, he just need to tell them to support Tinubu at the polls and out 25% is guaranteed.
How do you think Atiku won Osun state? Was it not because Adeleke supported him?
Abi you think Osun go just vote Atiku just like that?
Oga we are Igbos we have the mind of our own. Unlike Hausa or Yoruba that always believe in what their leaders say or do.
PressMyButton: I have since noticed that nothing has changed after my complaint a few days ago. Yesterday, I created a thread where Tanko Yakassai refuted Baba Ahmed's claim, I then made a comment saying " the real Nigerians from the North have spoken, Baba Ahmed should swallow his opinions and go to Mauritania and vomit it there. The next thing I got was a ban. Again, a few minutes back, I made a comment on a thread where Sowore slammed Peter Óbi calling him dumb. On the thread, I said " I don't care about the both of them if Sowore and Óbi were locked up in a ring like Portable and Speed Darlington and break each other's jaw. Again, I entered a ban straight up. If I am punished for the right reasons, I do take responsibility but I cannot have it being punished for doing no wrong. Back then, we were being banned most of the time for replying a poster with insults, the Moderators would then informed us of the exact statements that got us the ban, even if sometimes, were ridiculous. However, this new bot is not observing that at all. Even when you made a comment in your own comment box without insults, the bot would come for you. And it seems as if no matter our feedbacks about it, nothing is going to change after all. I have a duty to project a lot of good things the current Administration is doing, although there are teething challenges, still there lots of positives. I appreciate the opportunity this platform have offered but also I do not think I can keep up this way. Users alike would appreciate if you would make a little adjustments around this for a better interaction. This, however, would be my final complaint on this issue while I look forward to seeing an improvement as soon as possible.
The bolded is exactly the angle it is paining me. How can you ban me without telling me the exact word or statement that got me banned.
When will you lots talk about tinibu's bad government? You lots are quick to judge others leaving tinibu and his bad works aside. If you don't see anything bad in tinibu and his bad government then, you are not qualified to say anything bad against anybody.
Ikaeniyan0: The Burkina Faso military is losing ground to the terrorists. it was under Traore's watch terrorists killed over 400 people in a single day last year. If it happened in Nigeria, you would have almost tore your clothes in anger while cursing Tinubu.
Worst things are happening under your Messiah leave Ibrahim Traore alone and face Nigeria your country. Traore did something tinibu can never do and that is cutting ties with France. Can tinibu cut ties with evil Britain?
Ikaeniyan0: The Nigerian military is doing better than Burkina Faso military. Under the watch of Traore, over 400 Burkina Faso citizens were killed in a single day last year. If it happened in Nigeria, I know you will still be cursing Tinubu.
He promised to bring an end to insecurity, it's one of the reasons he gave while carrying out his treacherous act. Insecurity has escalated under his watch.
Look at what this one is saying? Wetin dey work you set? Which Nigerian military is better than that of bukina Faso? Haven't you heard from some persons that their village was attacked, about how the Nigerian military were busy collecting money on checkpoints while a nearby village are being attacked and sacked by killer herdsmen. Many are being killed daily under tinibu's watch it's just that, the biased and propaganda media we have in Nigeria is hiding a greater part of the bad news. Do you know how many people that have died in Benue state alone? Stop saying nonsense you are not dealing with dafts.
Brenbentondiaz: It's funny really. The people you call cowards came out and protested and made sure a president they didn't like was kicked out of power, while you creatures that chestbeat regularly on how brave you are are wailing and weeping in hiding about a government that you don't like, but you dare not protest because you're a bunch of wimps and pansies. Lolz.
Point of correction, we the great Igbos are not afraid of protest if you are truthful to yourself you should know this fact.
During the regime of buhari who happens to be a military man, Igbos flooded the streets in protest for Biafra the great Igbos even staged a protest in Lagos. If you were not born then, the least you can do is to go and verify. Military and police bullets did not stop them from protest. Some of you were making jest of the Igbos on how the security forces were using them for what you lots called "target practice".
The reason why we the great Igbos refused to protest now is because, we want you bunch of wimps and cretins to have a taste of una medicine. And if you don't like it that way go hang.
Ikaeniyan0: The Burkina Faso military is losing ground to the terrorists
The same thing with tinibu yet, you refused to say something or react against something that is in under your nose because of your blind support for tinibu.
Ibrahim Traore in far away land is your problem not tinubu that has finished Nigeria.
