So it is right for Peter Obi to invest state money in his family business? Same business he was previously a director under before he became governor?

He said it himself on video. He said he ran the business for a time before he became governor. Then the same man invested state funds in the business and you’re here asking JAMB questions.

This same man was saying all this at a time we did not even knew he had an offshore business entirely that he failed to declare. Only God knows how much Anambra state money he invested in that business coz him not openly bold enough to declare the asset speaks volumes in itself of his corrupt mindset.

Typical of you people…

The question was, “what is the difference between Tinubu’s investment in Econet and Obi’s investment in Sabmiller Breweries”?

Now, because you know that you guys has been maliciously accusing Obi wrongly for doing what your lord and master already did for as far back as 2003, you are now shifting the argument to offshore companies and tax.

Have you ever listened to Obi’s side of the story on Pandora papers?

It was not his idea but the idea of his financial advisers.

Meanwhile, how was that injurious to Anambra govt?

If he declared them, what difference would it have made?

Would he pay tax to Anambra State coffers for a business not domiciled in Anambra?

You still haven’t answered my question…

Is it unconstitutional?

Was it a bad business for Anambra govt?

Should Obi not invest in profitable business because his family has stake?

Would it have been better that he kept the 30million dollar redundant in the bank instead of using it for business?

LegendHero:
So because there is no 1000 page petition against Obi, that means we can overlook what he did?

Because there is no 1000 page petition, we can overlook him investing in offshore business while being governor and failed to declare same asset. Think about it, what will make a man own a business he is not proud to declare as an asset? Let your mind be the judge.

Lastly, if Obi have the numbers of political enemies Asiwaju has made due to him winning multiple times and strong enough to build structure, he won’t last a single year before he will be finished. What people will over look Obi for, they will castigate Asiwaju about.

“In every rumour, there’s an iota of truth”.

All the accusations of Tinubu being the owner of Alpha Beta can’t all be false accusation by different people and agents.

Now, Tinubu floated Alpha Beta to do the job that can be handled by LIRS.

He had an alternative, to make LIRS efficient and accountable but chose to make the agency more redundant and float his personal business.

Now tell me what was Obi’s alternative investment platform as of the time he invested in Sabmiller. He should kept the $30million dollars in the bank to remain 30 million instead of yielding the 100mllion it became?

LegendHero:
Below is Peter Obi statement by himself towards the 2019 election debate.

He never denied his family have a % in the company he invested state money on. His only defense was that it was his parent business and not his own business, which to me is pure nonsense.

Now I challenge you to bring the book of Alpha Beta board of directors that mentioned Tinubu name as the owner. Nowhere in an official document was it stated that Tibubu owns Alpha Beta just as Peter Obi said that his parents and not him were the owner of the other company he invested state money on.

So how does Peter Obi’s parents translate to Peter Obi?

And even if…

Would Obi not invest in profitable venture just because the company has ties to his parents?

Is it unconstitutional?

Did Anambra lose?

And about Alpha Beta, if Tinubu was not scared of being exposed, why did he request an out of court settlement with Mr Apata who was ready to open his nyash?

To you guys, it is only what Tinubu did that is right. If another person does it, it’s wrong.

Your double standard stinks

LegendHero:
Did Tinubu got any of his personal company as stake in Econet when he invested Lagos money?

Well same cannot be said of Peter Obi because he invested state money in a business he has personal stakes in. That’s conflict of interest.

Now let me ask you, what is the difference between what Tinubu did with Alpha Beta and what Peter Obi did with the brewery? Why have your people run riot on Tinubu name hypocritically and then absolve Peter Obi of the same thing?

—Tinubu allegedly own Alpha Beta who consults for Lagos government and get 10% of any revenue they generate for the government.

—Peter Obi allegedly promoted Intafact, jointly owned by SABMiller, a South African joint brewery venture, as a state business interest and funding the firm with more than N2 billion of Anambra government funds while also allocating shares in the company to himself.

Can you post the proof of Peter Obi’s personal shares in Sabmiller?

That’s unlike Tinubu whose company handles a task as huge as IGR collection that ordinarily should be handled by Lagos State Board of Internal Revenue but he rendered that agency redundant so Alpha Beta could grow.

How does it compare?

So in a previous post with link below,
https://www.nairaland.com/6982951/tinubu-lagos-gained-15-billion

There was a video evidence of Tinubu boasting of how he invested 4billion naira of Lagos money which yielded a return of 19billion naira into the Lagos State coffers.

While I admit that Tinubu sounded quite cerebral, and like someone with deep understanding of the working of the financial system and sector, I want to ask what the difference is between Tinubu’s investment in Econet and Peter Obi’s investment in Hero Brewery.

Now, one of the point that Tinubu supporters use in attacking Peter Obi is the fact that he invested Anambra money into ‘private’ business; when they want to be mischievous, they call it ‘family’ business. But these baseless lies they can’t prove. Because if that was to be true, Willie Obiano would have used it against Obi in their days of political loggerheads.

If anything, Econet is moribund today but Hero Brewery is still yielding millions, if not billions, into Anambra State coffers.

Now, would Tinubu supporters accuse attack Tinubu for taking 4billion of Lagos money to invest in Econet?

If they won’t, I want them to tell us how what Tinubu did is different from what Peter did with Anambra money.

Penguin is a bird of reason!

If they are caught, they should be be shot at sight.

Whether they are my fellow Igbos o.

Or Yoruba

Or Hausa.

What rubbish.

It’s that Dabo of a guy that is just being overzealous and wanting to be noticed by force.

Zulum is even advocating power shift to the south.

Yet he still wants to be APC national chairman.

Onye ala

And for the people.

I’m sure they wanna iron things out with Kwankwaso, Lamido Sanusi, Tambuwal and other stakeholders in the North West before the congress is held to avoid 4 zonal chairmen for one zone like one party I know that is supported by urchins.

shinealight:
The type they practise in a place like China….simple! Representative government that’s all. Nobody cares whether you are Hausa, Ibo, Yoruba or Efik….the regions send their representatives to a Governing Council, etc, which works for the benefit of the entire country without favouritism. Even our House of Reps can be constituted to serve the same purpose but we need to get rid of the Senate, the Governors and the Presidency that gulps so much of our money. The local government councils will play a more important role since they’re closer to the people!

And you can do that before February 2023?

Offline Tinubu urchins

Let Tinubu become President by mistake and you see him resurrect NURTW nationwide and make MC Oluomo it’s grand patron.

What we are seeing in Lagos would be child’s play to the nationwide they will become.

Tinubu is evil…Never him among your options.

Una done start…

Next one na ten things you must know about Amaechi’s wife, the likely incoming First Lady.

AsomArchitectNG:
No specific tribe as its a general soup

So it fell from the sky on all people?

Some people started cooking it first before others noticed it.

Just like Ewedu and Gbegiri is indigenous to Yoruba

Ofe Nsala is indigenous to Igbo

Edikaikong and Atama are indigenous to Calabar and Akwa Ibom.

So also is Egusi likely indigenous to some tribe.

shinealight:
Point is, it is not Democracy if anybody is rigged in. Be he Obasanjo, Atiku, YarAdua, Jonathan, Tinubu or Amaechi or Osinbajo. You people are just deceiving yourselves in this Nigeria when you claim to be practising DEMOCRACY. It’s all rubbish…..even China and Korea are better because they do not deceive themselves about democracy! In short, do not count on rigging to install Amaechi, Tinubu or any other fellow and claim to be practising democracy simply because it favours your tribe. It’s a huge joke!

Did you see any of us supporting rigging?

Or to you, since we are not supporting Tinubu then we are supporting rigging?

Again, if we are deceiving ourselves with democracy, then suggest the type of govt you want Nigeria to practice.

Egusi soup is my favorite soup.

Yes. I can eat it from January to December and not get tired of it.

So I saw Egusi soup with bitterleef ( I prefer mine with ugu or no vegetable at all) make front page and it made me start wondering which Nigerian tribe first started eating egusi before it became a national soup.

Like, we all know that Ewedu and Gbegiri are indigenous to Yoruba.

Ofe Nsala and Ogbono are Indigenous to Igbo.

Edikaikong, Afang and Atama are indigenous to Calabar and Akwa Ibom.

But I can’t really tell where Egusi originated.

Do you know?

Or is it an entire Africa thing?

jowhyte:
Even in the area of road I will still score him good. He not the type of politician that does projects show off and commissioning.

PZ, Eradiawa, Okabere, etc.

Most part of country home, limit, ugbor, aruoba, to obagie, to ogheghe to Sapele road to Obayantor axis then Amagba, linking it up with Sapele road to GRA down to Airport road axis to decongest the ever busy Sapele road and more are many of the ones I personally know off because I leave around this axis and they use to be in deplorable state.

To start with, these are long kilometers of roads but you hardly see him doing commissioning and paparazzi show off. He just completes these projects and people start using it without noise.

Commendable!

I hereby take back my accusation of him forking up.

I guess Edolites are justified to have voted him a second time.

Check very well, he has criticized Elrufai and that’s He was eliminated.

Elderniercri:
I stay in Edo State

I’m also from the state, I can tell you people who don’t talk good about him are those who just want what they can see immediately

His focus has been on creating clusters for production and for creatives

Thank you for this.

You know to some of us, if a governor is not building roads and painting schools, then he’s not working.

But they forget there’s more to governance than just building roads and big buildings.

There are governors that would be more interested in investments and human capital development. And that’s the kind of governor I would wanna be.

Imagine the social menace these irritants have become yet they are untouchable because Tinubu is their godfather.

I tell you most solemnly, O ye Nigerians…

Today, this menace is restricted to Lagos.

Make the mistake of voting Tinubu into power and it becomes a national menace.

Tinubu will resurrect NURTW nationwide and MC Oluomo will be its national grand patron.

Don’t ever consider Tinubu. Allow him and his urchins to fool themselves around.

Obaseki dey fork up sha.

I’ve not seen any Edolite speaking good of him.

Or is there?

RedEnergy:
NNPC imported the fuel through its own subsidiary Duke Oil. NNPC is the root of the problem, not the distributors

Please don’t quote me and say nonsense.

Did you not read the statement by Mele Kyari, the MD of NNPC where he named the six companies that imported the adulterated products?

Are you okay?

This one just escaped from yabaleft and logged into Nairaland.

Nothing person no go read.

Them go impeach Peter Obi…

Same billboard three shots from different distances.

“Flooding” must have gotten a new meaning

Simple thing…

Leave our roads, but they keep doing strong head.

Those fools that used to stand at that Maryland to Timber road are so notorious.

Their outpost at Maryland was burnt during EndSARS yet they still won’t leave that place.

Ndi ala!

This had better been fake news sha

Buhari wants to immortalize himself in Igboland.

adamsmith914:
Why imagine such a scenario, it must be Guilty Conscience?

Guilty Conscience?

Far from it sir…

It’s simply because the stupidity and gullibility of Tinubu urchins is highly predictable.

We will only know he is serious when the licenses of Oando, MRS and other crooked companies that imported adulterated petrol are withdrawn.

Ethnic bigots.

NNPC stopped independent marketers from importing petroleum products only to lease out the responsibility to companies with affiliation to powerful politicians.

Meanwhile, they will come and be telling us that they are the sole importers of fuel into the country until breeze blow and fowl nyash come outside.

Tinubu urchins will soon add this to the list of what Tinubu has done for Igbos.

Ndi ala!

Supported

Any movement they are making to save Nigeria should be to tell northerners and Tinubu urchins to allow Igbos take the presidency in 2023.

That is what is just, fair and equitable.

Anything less than that, then they are wasting their time.
