You have abandoned Chidoka so soon and now courting Obaze. I pray PDP gives Obaze a second chance to redeem himself in 2021. It will be fun whopping his old, frustrated ass again. If Peter Obi thinks he has been shunned by Obiano, he should wait until Soludo becomes governor. He hasn't seen anything yet.

I am a true Anambra boy who puts the interest of the state ahead of personal gain. You on the other hand is a certified OTIMKPU! To the main point, Anambra is blessed with arrays of distinguished and qualified individuals who can turn the place to paradise and Oseloka Obaze, Osita Chidoka, Kingsley Muoghalu, Charles Soludo and Mark Okoye are just few of them. It does not really matter who becomes the governor ,the common denominator here is the betterment of the state. Anambra bu ofu. Odolu gi anya ?

APGA cannot afford to lose the only state they control to defection. It could spell the end of APGA. They should give their ticket to someone who has proved his loyalty to the party. Thats the mistake APGA made in Imo state by giving Rochas Okorocha, a known serial defector who had been in PDP, ANPP and AA, its ticket. His first term hadn't finished before he jumped to APC. If APGA had given someone else their ticket they might have been controlling Imo and some other states by now. That's why I think that giving Soludo the ticket in 2020 is a dangerous mistake. Soludo was a staunch member of PDP who only joined APGA after losing out in PDP. He will eventually find his way back to PDP

Soludo, though his loyalty is questionable but he has been with APGA for a very long ,even before Willy the drunk was dragged by Obi from U.S to come run. Peter Obi denied Soludo the slot because there was an ongoing investigation on Soludo at the EFCC. Soludo hated Obi for that but little did he know that if it wasn't for the fact that Oseloka Obaze was disqualified because he wasn't registered to vote Obiano wouldn't have become a governor...Obaze is the brain behind Obi's success and much more qualified than the rest of the candidates.

Osagyefo98:
Soludo remains a no no.

If Apga mistakenly gives her ticket to Soludo then apga should forget it..

Soludo is a bad market.

Also saying Ozunkpu whether na ozomkpa is backing Soludo is another recipe for disaster.
Anybody Victor oye backs, is doomed to fail.

It was Victor oye that rubbished apga in Imo state in the name of backing Ararume against people's choice.

Soludo should go and rest. He is a bad market please.

And you think Akpokuodike has done enough to strengthen the structure handed to him ? Where was Akpokuodike when Victor Oye was tearing APGA up in Imo state ? Let's be honest , Obiano is a bad politician if not why did APGA lost all Senatorial seat. I thought Obi was a bad politician but Obiano is even worse.

Clementoke:
One way to be popular on thread is to tow an unpopular line of thought (no matter how irrational and illogical it is), then sit back, relax and watch how people will start quoting u upandan

You can also be ignored here. If you want to gain credibility here you show your intelligence in understanding and analyzing football. Just towing an unpopular line doesn't buy you respect...ask komekn abi wetin dem dey call am.

jihday:
No it's because government isn't doing enough

Look, if you like elect the best brains in Nigeria it will amount to waste of time if you dont change the current structure...Nigeria cant work on this present structure but you guys are blinded by tribalism.

Power is too concentrated in the center

You are complaining for lack of job but everyday you sit down and knock down a plate of rice designed with plenty KPOMO....You are eating your economic dividends in your mouth. KPOMO is leather but for some reason the government let the continued eating of our economic dividends. Naija is indeed a sshithole!

tbaba12345:
I have a clipper at home so I usually do it myself. My clipper cost $20 and each haircut is $20. I have only been to the barber shop like once this year.

I also have a clipper but I use it only when I didn't have time to visit the barber ,because I can't do my edges. Na only isi mala/bald I fit cut...lol

safarigirl:
So, you are advising people to learn trade that they will be crap in?

When you people advise people to learn trade, let it be something that can be monetized. Today, in Nigeria, the only skills that can be monetized are photography, make-up artistry, tailoring, baking and catering....I mean, the ones you can make serious money from, every other thing na scam.

Now, the issue is not learning the skill, it is getting a market. Do you know how many bakers are doing 3-9k jobs? Some are not even getting clients, because just like EVERY OTHER skill in Nigeria, the early birds have eaten the fattest bone and everyone else, is left with crumbs.

In photography, George Okoro is the biggest name. Then, you have Klala, BMB and some other photographers here and there. These people are mostly based in Lagos and Abuja. Now, a photographer in Ondo or Imo will not be making as much money as these people.

In make-up, it is Jide of St. Ola and Bibyonce that are major, and it is still another industry dominatef by Lagos and Abuja artists.

In fact ehn, your location determines your success rate as much as anything. If you are providing any service, make sure your base allows for the right clientele.

The market is saturated, the big money people will only pay the top guys and for the most part, they import these guys if they have to. There are photographers, and make-up artistes in Abuja, that are flown to Abia, Plateau, Ibadan, for jobs. What becomes of the ones that reside in these states?

There is no job anywhere, even in the skill industry. Everywhere is saturated, at most, you will be an average earner, but expecting to be E-Money standard because you set up a business, that anyone can set up, is rather idealistic.

PS: There are great carpenters in Nigeria, you just happened to meet the wrong one, and you probably failed to do your proper research, hence, the unfortunate circumstance you found yourself.

That's exactly what I meant when I said that craftsmanship is badly regulated in Nigeria. The government has a very big role to play by making sure people are well trained and only those with license can practice. And, also ensure there are jobs for these people when they finish their training by creating job opportunities. For instance, when you design an estate you specify the type of wood work to be done and only licensed carpenters can work on these projects. These carpenters, in the same vein must have a strong union to fight for them. If you put the right mechanism in place youths will find these skills attractive. Nigerian leaders are ffucking blind.

I agree that our craftsmen are crap, but we dont even have the purchasing power to pay decent craftsmen. The Ghanaian craftsmen are wonderful but they are still scraping a living. You need a buoyant middle class that can pay the craftsmen for the job. Even in the US, most people are very handy, they do a lot of craft work around the house themselves because getting someone to do it is very expensive.
We need big businesses that would employ people.

We have people who can pay you handsomely for a quality work if you are willing to put in the work and produce a quality product. I will double the price if I see a Nigerian youth who made a quality work, and its not because I am rich but because I know what it takes to do craft..my father was a craftsman and even my wife learned hair braiding before she arrived in the U.S and the chic was counting in thousands of dollars before she started school and the rest.
I personally know many Nigerians wbo had to import furnitures from the U.S because they don't trust Nigerian craftsmen. The quality of their work is suspect because they were not professionally trained. If I must buy Aba shoes then it must be pure leather. But, of course we cant have a leather market because we eat them with our mouth.
In the U.S you can only do so much work around the house...wait until you have a serious electrical or plumbing problems. Plumbers make average of 50,000 a year for a green horn.
We have too many useless graduates in Nigeria because our youths look down on trade.

tbaba12345:
Even Barbers get trained. You can not practice without training

I pay 15 to 20 dollars to cut hair unless if you want the Chinese to screw your hair up. And,an average barber live very comfortably and work when they feel like...and if you walk in there to price it like pepper at Orile market they will ask you to leave. They are balling and living big.

rabzy:
All the hairdressers, shoe makers, carpenters, welders, mechanics, barbers, food sellers, tailors, vuicanizers that are in every nook and crannies are self employed.
Many of the okada guys in Lagos learnt a trade at a time.
We need people who can establish big businesses and employ the populace. These gainfully employed masses are what makes up the middle class of an economy.
All the top economies of the world are not dominated by one-man businesses all over the place.
Its like subsistence farming to mechanized farming in agriculture.

The trade you listed are not well regulated in Nigeria. In the U.S you need at least 2 years of in class and hands on training to become a mechanic, carpenter etc and after that you earn a decent pay more than some engineers.

Nigerian carpenters are crap...I know because I saw a chair I paid over 500,000 naira to build and it looked like trash. Go to Ghana and see their skilled trades men...blow your ffucking mind.

charlesemeka85:
Leave them mk dem dey deceive themselves lolz

There was a relative of mine I advised to learn a trade after she failed waec like 3 time but she insisted until the fifth time, thats when she finally decided to learn the trade after she realized none of her graduate friend had a danm job. There is something fundamentally wrong with the reasoning of the Nigerian youth and I think it's connected to the mentality of "we have oil" or "Nigeria is a rich country", whereas the country is as poor as church rat.
Meanwhile, the elite are living like kings using the little oil revenue to enrich themselves....its a sad situation. The country is living above it means...a Senator shouldn't earn more than 300,000 naira in a country like Nigeria because we cant afford all these billions dolled out to them monthly. American senators make very little salaries because they all have a day job.

Koboko99:
Some people think you just learn a skill, set up your own business and boom....money starts flowing in.
Learning is skill isn't free these days, even if you get to learn one, do you know how many people have the same skill? It boils down to what makes you stand out, perseverance, proper planning etc, so it's not easy.
Many people that have their own businesses and companies today started somewhere, horned their skills, got capital from working elsewhere before setting up. So please it's not rosy anywhere....choose wisely

You have a better chance of getting a job if you learn a trade than you would with your crappy Nigerian degree. Truth is Nigeria youths do not want to learn a skill...evey gaddem person want to have a degree just so they can say I am a graduate. The Nigerian youth dont want to learn some professional trade and fix their lives but they all want to ffuck Danielle Okereke who drives G Wagon...lol. How can you count ten when you haven't counted one.

But, the reality is that Nigeria doesn't have the job opportunities to service their millions of youths who are graduate and those still in school. For every hundred thousand Nigerian graduate just about 10% are going to be employed. The situation of the country is seriously troubling and I fear something bad might happen before things get better.

Nawaa

Ok, Anambra has done well in education but I want an improvement on the success made ,so far. I want to see better statistics like 80% of our school children passing waec at first try with over 75% in all subjects. More training of teachers , better parents-teachers association to make sure the children are well taken care of and ready to learn, improved learning materials...additionally, even better funding for school in rural areas. We need to move up because we are beginning to get stagnant.

globemoney:
hahaha from obi did not leave a single debt?

Remember this does not cover debt he owed contractors from the roads and projects he awarded before leaving office. Its better for you to stop, lets not expose the scam and liar called peter obi.

https://www.sunnewsonline.com/i-inherited-n127bn-debt-from-obi-obiano/

There is no where in this article Obiano denied Obi didnt invest over 80 billions of Anambra money in bonds and other investments.

globemoney:
aboki cry me a river


This is Anambra not plateau state

Redundant. Oga, read comments and see how much Peter Obi is loved in Anambra...lol. Osondi Owendi! Hate is eating you up. Olisa meelu gi ebele...smh

However, when it comes to the governor who brought most infrastructures to his state and changed the political landscape that man is Obi. Gov. Obi is the reason why Obiano is having a smooth sail. Obi touched every aspect of development in the state ...no stone was left unturned. He carried every sector along and brought unprecedented transformation to the state...in health, education, roads,SMEs etc.

DarkJeddi:
What has your Drunkard Master have to show since QUADRUPLING the Debt of Anambra State?

Am waiting for your answer..

Which 101 Roads is he talking about and WHERE are the 51 roads he claimed to have completed?

The state employed 6000 Workers of which he was
the chief beneficiary of the said move,

He was aware of it and it was part of the election campaign that brought him into office and yet he turns around when it suits him to cast aspersions on the said move?

Talk about eating your cake and having it..

My brother , I think you just met that lunatic. He has been attacking Obi for close to t years. Even when Obi chose Obiano that ffool was here slandering Obi while campaigning for Ngige. He just switched to supporting Obi after Obi and Obiano fell out. So, this is not about Obiano...the ffool globemoney has ulterior motive.

globemoney:
Here is it onuku, or you cant read? Anambra debt profile immediately the liar peter obi left office from debt management office. What do you want to see again? You also want to see the billions he owed contractors when he left?

Look at how these youngsters are whipping you around like a little kid...ijiro nti anu ife...lol

I told you to keep quiet but no you go running around trying to slander a great man who brought sanity to Anambra political space ,plus many outstanding infrastructures....Oga , give up!

A senior advocate of Nigeria who earns his living presenting and evaluating facts is unable to differentiate two different names....If I was Kingsley I will sue that old ffool

ifiokbenzy:
Falana chop I chop, Kingsley no mind bros, e dey find roja!

You are a born ffool....George Muoghalu and Kingsley Muoghalu are very two different people...chai

Neimar:
As usual Iwobi was useless

Garbage players playing for Nigeria

Lmao..were you expecting Iwobi to start having a great game,overnight ? You think Arsenal shipped him off because he was awesome...lol. Oga, you have seen the best of Iwobi

HBD

forgiveness:
Why?

My observations. Ndidi is yet to impress me on GWG. Wetin again you wan hear. You want me to join the bandwagon and say what everybody is saying in spite of my own sincere observations ? This is not autocracy,uncle forgiveness.

TheSuperNerd:
#BRANGA: Interesting Fact


William Troost Ekong is yet to lose a game as Super Eagles captain.


Vs Poland, Nigeria won 1-0

Vs Egypt, Nigeria won 1-0

Vs Ukraine, it was 2-2

Vs Brazil, it was 1-1.


#Omen #Leader

I like Ekong but I will keep looking out for those sloppy passes...lol

andrewbaba44:
Moses Simon did better at gent than kalu

I have followed kalu from trencin days ,I have once met him before his move to gent

You tried to discredit Moses Simon who I said was the hazard of gent

You are so good in talking down of players you don’t like ,and you can’t even back up anything you say

The other day you said awaziem was naija most constitent player for the past few seasons ,I have to tell you that awaziem was match rusty for months before he joined rizespor ,and I had to remind you of how Ekong have been the man and you kept mute

You are a comedian bro

Judge football and be sincere and stop using your favoritism

Fake Enugu Marcelo

Nnaa, wetin Awaziem do you naa...lmao
The thing about Ekong is that I have always know him to be blunder prone same with Omeruo but Awaziem is that untested player that showed up and stole our heart with his old school styled right back. For me, Awaziem and Ekong are our most improved defender and maybe Omeruo.

Binikingdowm:
successful in terms of drug trafficking around the world? You people should be ashame even trying to shame Edo women why your people are in jail all over the world. They now differentiate Igbo's from other Nigerian tribes because that is what you people are known for.

Don't let me start on the baby factory and local prostitition Nigerians know you people for, it's a fact that Igbo's dominate every ashawo centres in Nigeria.

Which 40 million Igbo's? all these fake statistics without census, that was how I read Igbo was 55 million in population on Wikipedia.

Benin language won't die because it's our ligual franca and since Igbo's are dieing more than they are giving birth, we'll soon pass you people in population

I wouldn't know about ashawo because I dont patronize them...do you ? If not how did You know? Isnt Agbo about the same population as Bini...oga go find your mate like Uhrobo,Ijaw and co.

Binikingdowm:
okay Mr over 40 million population. It's a fact Benin people has achieved more in ratio of their population than Igbo's with millions of population.

You people are in death roll in Asia and Africa countries with no hope in sight while Benin will never happen their people that lost their way, that's why we brought them back for Libya.

You claim you people are educated but small Edo state records the lowest out of school children.

We are top 5 in every educational index. From number of universities to polytechnic, from waec ranking to jamb etc. Where is the mighty Igbo with 40 million population

No, you are behind Anambra in almost all indices of development. Lowest out of school children doesnt translate to educational excellence.
Igbo has major businesses in Japan, Singapore, Malaysia ,USA etc..this is not a,fair comparison. I lived in Bini for 5 years...lol. Ohoro road ,precisely. Nigga, you haven't seen the light.

Chimookigwe:
You people don't hear word and it is because of inherited stupidity.

You'll be calling these people Igbos but when they deal with you how they dealt with your fathers that made them to run and leave property, you'll start crying.

Edo and this particular Port Harcourt gave you painful lessons but you don't learn.

You have little thinking capacity...ffuck off. I am from Anambra and you think I care

Binikingdowm:
goner like 3 million of your people used for shooting practice?

Noo Edo language will survive another 500 millennium

Yes, we paid the price of war but we have made a shocking comeback like being educationally successful than those who murdered our women and wives. You , on the other hand need to worry about why your women are fast to depart Nigeria for prostitution. And , yes , a
Bini language will disappear in 50 years...whats the population of Bini...like 2 million compare that with over 40 million Igbos with intimidating influence even Agbor people are speaking central Igbo. Be nice to the Igbo because we are an emerging force!!

Chimookigwe:
Not at all.
Since that boy ignorantly said they all bear Igbo names, I had to sarcastically reply him.

He said "almost" not "all".....adamu!
