Most of Obi supporters were once hardcore Biafra supporters.

If you don't support who they are supporting or don't believe what they say, they will start attacking you

They once said Buhari is dead and replaced by someone from Sudan

One of them on Nairaland is saying Buhari rigged in Asiwaju in 2023

No Nonsense wey dem no fit talk

Your Biafra gimmick and attempts to incite hate completely lacks intelligence.

Is drinking palm wine not better than trafficking drugs in Chicago?

I hope you have your PVC and intend to vote. It shouldn't just be about ranting wildly on Nairaland.
By the way, this guy "Richtaiwo" needs your attention.

Runaway22:
Oh no

Won't you like to play emilokan politics with this ?

Get out, Go and drink palm wine

Any kidnapper caught should be eliminated immediately, they are threats to humanity. The trauma that their victims suffer is too much

Which nonsense cardinal who was bounced from voting at the last papacy election? He is just a bitter old hag who is desperate for political power in Nigeria. No one takes that joke of a man seriously any longer.

what do you know?

Af0nja2:
This is what you get then you elect traders as state governors.

They are now converting allocations collected in Naira to Dollars so they can save it!

Are those allocations meant to be saved? Are they not expected to be used for capital and operating expenses?

You got allocation, instead of using it for developmental projects and taking care of your people, you are busy saving it so that you can boast later that you left so, so amount in Dollars for your successors?

If I may ask, where is the so-called money he claimed to have left, today?

No wonder most of them have continued to leave their region to go and "develop" other regions.

Generations of Gb@jues!

I believe that the central argument here is whether Peter Obi misrepresented the facts or Adams Oshiomhole is being economical with the truth.
Your suggestive thought that he should have expended the money on one project or the other, even without recourse to the project's viability, should be an argument for another day.

Adams Oshiomhole, senator representing Edo north, has questioned Peter Obi’s claim that he saved about $150 million during his stint as governor of Anambra state.

Oshiomhole, a former governor of Edo state and ex-national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), spoke during an interview on Symfoni TV published on Thursday.

He questioned how Obi accumulated dollar savings when the federal government pays states’ allocations in naira.

Oshiomhole said he and Obi were members of the national economic council, chaired by the vice-president, when governors pushed for their allocations to be paid in dollars because of differences between the official exchange rate and the market rate.

He added that the federal government rejected the proposal, insisting that the naira was Nigeria’s recognised currency.

“Where did you get dollars to save? Did you receive naira from Abuja and go to bid for dollars to save for Anambra state?” Oshiomhole queried.

Abia State Governor Alex Otti explicitly confirmed that he advised Peter Obi to convert the funds into U.S. dollars. During a September 2026 interview on Arise News, Otti stated that he was the Chief Executive Officer of the now-defunct Diamond Bank when Obi served as the governor of Anambra State,

Otti explained that Obi initially intended to leave the state's accumulated savings in cash using Nigerian Naira.
Otti advised him that the Naira would continually lose value due to currency depreciation. He recommended converting the funds into U.S. dollars to protect their long-term purchasing power.
Following Otti's guidance, around $155 million was bought and subsequently invested. Otti confirmed he personally participated in the process, ensuring the funds were spread across three Nigerian commercial banks and invested in Eurobonds and Tier-2 capital instruments.

So, what is Oshiomhole talking about?
With this known fact, everything else he said there was a lie.

Lol, service providers should have been the ones on the front foot with a massive campaign about it.

They should release an official statement on this before one subscribes to something else

Your Yoruba president was hidden like a contraband

I get your frustration and your choice of words, especially since his exact words were, "Emi lokan, Yoruba lokan".

I think you've mistaken me for someone else.
No worries, I'll let this slide.

Dogalmighty17:
Vanguard and lazy journalism. Petrol isn't 1900. The actual body of the report talks about diesel. OP did you even bother reading what you posted?

You are correct regarding the inconsistency in that report; Vanguard did a very terrible job there. Diesel was mentioned at one point, PMS also in another point.

Have all the modular refineries in Port Harcourt been destroyed for fuel to be selling so high there, much higher than other places in the country? not adding up

He may not have that leverage again, besides the presidential election will come first. Secondly Governor Fubara may be quiet now, but he is human and will not forget so quickly. His greatest undoing also will be trying to be a jack of all trades and fighting on too many fronts.

Nigeria and Niger border, hmm

This is not subject to debate.

madridguy:
Nigeria system is perfectly working. Blame the people of the region and not the system.

The people of the region are not under a regional government. Until we establish state police, all regions remain under the control of the Police IGP. The region is simply suffering from neglect.

What they did to the woman is rather unfortunate; she is likely from a very poor background with no one to stand up for her.

Just like the Stereo man's song (Ekwe): 'If you no get money, girl go dey call you monkey.

Nomy brother, I was asking myself the same question. If we decide to sell this crude to dangote for zero naira for the good of the masses, no body will question us oooo. I mean, we can just sign a special arrangement for domestic consumption. We don't have to sell to him like we sell to others. Just reduce the price for him and shield us from this international market wahala. Once the price of fuel comes down, everything comes down with it as much as possible. But again, Nigerians being who we are, we will sabotage the system. Ppl will start smuggling the cheap petrol across border. We are our own problems my brother

This is why I advocate for a stronger Naira than that of our neighboring countries. A higher exchange value means goods produced cheaply here become expensive across our borders, automatically cutting off unauthorized outflows to neighboring countries that can no longer afford them.

nairalanda1:
Even if we reached 4 million BPD of crude, Nigeria won't have enough revenue.

Even if there was no looting.

You are right; money is never enough, which is why financial prudence is very important.

Money wey them go still collect from you

APC supporters and tribal bigots celebrate a surge in crude oil production as a major achievement for Tinubu, boasting of an all-time high. But on the contrary, the Finance Minister admitted on TV that revenues are low because production volumes are low. So, who is telling the truth?

Tinubu wey dey borrow upandan never escape poverty na who for Nigeria escape? We can only claim to have escaped it when we elect leaders who have freed themselves from a poverty mentality. Otherwise, just when you think you have escaped, politicians will systematically throw you right back into it because of their insatiable quest to escape the poverty that is deeply rooted in their own mindset.

He comes alive during election time or what?

just 30 days and we are back

what do we call this type of death? nackal or coital death

somebody's name is not there

C is the most likely angle

My sincere condolences to the bereaved

It did not stop them from burning the broom either.
