It seems most Naanu Peter Obi supporters are as academically and naanu-cally deficient as their dullard principal, abi how else can one explain their failure to understand the clear difference between prostrating and bowing?? Obi must not be allowed anywhere near the presidency to further spread his naanu-demic.

Those certificates have Oluwole written all over them. Peter Obi's WAEC results were so poor that he had to sit for GCE to make-up for his credits.

He gave INEC his GCE results, while releasing Oluwole result to social media. No be juju be dat?

Op, I will listen to you only if and when you declare for the governorship seat, I swear na you I go vote for. But first you must declare and contest. Deal?

Niorte:
I bet you did not read the whole article. You do not have an open-mind to issues.

Of course, it was Tinubu who nominated Osinbajo but because he had no other option.

You can go ahead and ask those mentioned in the story for fact-finding but I guess you're in so much love with your role model Tinubu

I'm not so jobless that I'd spend my valuable time reading such crap. Osinbajo's simple and straightforward statement about who nominated him is enough for me. Any point that requires such long epistle to make does not interest me because it's definitely laced with tons of lies and half-truths. And lastly, just because you see Osinbajo as your role model doesn't make Tinubu mine. I was merely trying to spare people from being deceived by your revisionism.

The revisionists have come again, all because of election they want to twist history, even after the Osinbajo himself acknowledged on record who nominated him. Smh.

Omo, see crowd. But why do they look bored as fcvck

Can’t throw away the baby with the bath water because it’s coming from this Classless man.

Bobo Chicago 100 percent works for CIA and that’s where FFK is going to with this news, another reason why Nigerians must reject the tool.

First of all, Obi was never a part of Jonathan's government, he largely wasn't even in the PDP then.

Secondly, let's even assume he was a part of GEJ's government, Obi has been extremely vocal about his disapproval of borrowing for salaries or for consumption. He's always been a very very vocal advocate of borrowing to fund investment opportunities which are proven to create wealth both in the short run (i.e. supporting SMEs) and long run (massive education of the populace). Building infrastructure (e.g. road and rails) is very good, but prioritising key infrastructure such as power generation and distribution would translate to a far greater positive economic impact is more important (that has always been Obi's philosophy).

And then whilst it's important to pay salaries, borrowing huge sums of money to pay salaries is and has always been the most useless form of borrowing. Obi has always echoed the fact that money to pay salaries can be generated internally without having to borrow; principally through cutting the clearly obscene cost of governance in Nigeria. He did this very successfully whilst he was governor in Anambra and was hated severely by politicians for this (he was impeached twice for insisting on cost cutting measures). Infact my fear about an Obi presidency is that his mandate would be severely frustrated by the NASS and the general political class in Nigeria; he could even be assassinated within the first year.

If you believe borrowing billions to pay salaries of a tiny population of Nigerians (i.e. civil servants and government workers) is more important than borrowing to invest in SME's and a most important infrastructure like power (which can impact a larger population of Nigerians), kindly point out to us how that borrowing for consumption by GEJ and secretely by PMB has impacted Nigeria?

As for me and my house, if the PDP can field Obi and the APC Osinbajo, then I'll gladly go to my beach house, light up my cigar and relax cos I know Nigeria will eventually fall into good hands either way.

Yimu. Peter Obi is just an educated but more austere version of Buhari (version 2.0). I doubt that Nigerians will be willing to tolerate such a leader at this point in time. We don't need austerity but rather economic stimulation. Peter Obi has consistently positioned himself as the poster boy for fiscal austerity; he's always on about how he owns just 1 wrist watch, lives a village life, etc. Unfortunately for him, Buhari already casted that playbook tey tey.

His mediocre performance as governor doesn't help his case either. What are his legacies in Anambra? He claimed to have left billions for his successor who is on record for refuting such claims. No record of any impressive improvement on his state's physical infrastructures throughout his tenure (which lends credence to his ignorant belief that infrastructure doesn't improve an economy).

How was the state's IGR under his 8-yr tenure compared to Ngige and Obiano? If he couldn't demonstrate the initiative nor creativity to improve the state's ability to generate revenue internally throughout his tenure (the records are in the public domain), how does he intend to do so at the national level with dwindling oil revenues, besides pontificating against debt financing?

Your attempt to excuse his gaffe concerning the impact of infrastructure on the economy is understandable because you support his ambition, but some of us can see through his facade. Obi is at best a quack wannabe economist whose tenure would leave the country worse than it currently is.

obailala:
So in essence, you're saying it's okay for us to be borrowing to eat?

It goes beyond that with Peter Obi. He once argued that you can't use infrastructure to improve the economy. Like seriously??

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.pulse.ng/news/local/peter-obi-to-buhari-you-cant-use-infrastructure-to-improve-the-economy/njcr2hz.amp

That's enough to convince me that he doesn't know what he's talking about, and would prefer fiscal austerity to spending to stimulate the economy when necessary. Perhaps he's just saying these things to score cheap political points, else he's only exposing his hypocrisy. Afterall, he was part of GEJ's administration that borrowed over a billion dollars to pay salaries (a kind of consumption). That economy was being managed by the world-renowned Okonjo Iweala. And I assume that she made that judgement call of financing 'consumption'/salary payment via debt due to the exigency of the situation. So Obi is telling us that he would rather have those workers that Iweala borrowed to pay their hard-earned salaries starve just to prove a point?? He's obviously talking out of his arse.

Please add those that don't want to starve to death under his presidency. He's already threatening Nigerians with starvation and austerity before he's even elected as president.

The airport is already beginning to take shape. More pictures. The governor is really serious about it.

He also said this...
Shows his words can't be trusted.

Useless propaganda report. The source alone shows that it's fake news.

More pictures.

“Today we have 15 of them with a child of three years, a male child. A fact-finding team who went to Mali in 2017 estimated that there are about 20,000 Nigerians still trafficked there.

Wetin some people dey find upandan? 20,000 trafficked Nigerians in Mali of all places

Na dis guy mouth go kill am if he's not careful. Reno with hin gutter mouth.

Lol. Na so Atiku take win on Twitter in 2019, only for him to Japa to Dubai after his loss on election day. Anyway, when should we expect Twitter president Peteru Obi's E-nauguration?

TheRareGem1:
Tinubu is no more Tinubu of yesterday who was Lagos state whom great leadership display to champion the affairs of the state rallied round the best brains around him, the man is not fit medically and Nigerians are already not in support of his ambition.

Must you pull down Tinubu to sell your candidate? You Osinbajo promoters are evil. It is now you know Tinubu is not fit. Yoruba and backstabbing. Y'all make me sick.

Shey heat no dey catch dem when dem wear this kind outfit?

Serious gbege go shele for PDP soon.

Totilopussylick:
Case just started

Ipob pigs and co will still doubt this

And who gives a shyt what ipobs think? Besides, ipobs aren't even Nigerians (dem be Biaflans), so their collective opinion in this matter is inconsequential. If it was ni, Buhari won't be serving his second term as we speak, in spite of their shenanigans and rabid antagonism against him.

Truth and nothing but, Op. Tinubu is a leader of leaders. That's why he has managed to dominate the political scene for so long. He also has an uncommon grace and favour that has given him staying power in spite of the hatred from his detractors.

She try

I suspect that it's the same people that started the whole 'Buhari is Jubril from Sudan' talk that started this Tinubu age controversy. It makes no sense to me.

@Noah9: Guy, you really messed up,but then again you are only human and every human will fuckup from time to time in one way or another. Just be prepared to bear the consequences, especially on your conscience. It's obvious that you regret your actions and have made efforts to make amends without success.

Bro, at this point you can't kill yourself over this situation. I'll advice you give her the space she's requested, but also brace yourself for the worst because truth is your marriage is either dead or at best would never go back to the way it was when things were smooth between you two. But hey, it is what is. Man up and keep pushing. All the best.

Their matter be like that of an abusive relationship in which the abused just can't understand or give a reasonable explanation as to why she has nothing to show for her longstanding love, devotion and loyalty. Instead, na abuse, humiliation, and neglect be her portion in the relationship. In other words, na toxic relationship.

Na hypocrisy my brother. They're all of a sudden treating Tinubu as if he's worse than Buhari, even when he's not an active member of the administration like Osinbajo. As if he was never a benefactor to Osinbajo. They are changing narratives all because of political ambition. Anyway, I'm sure none of this is new to Jagaban. Betrayal na part of the game. He earned his stripes by overcoming several acts of betrayals. We go see how the matter go end.
