Peter Obi excused Ortom for not paying Salaries, saying he spends over half a billion monthly on IDP.
Today Ortom is commissioning a government lodge.
Maybe if Peter Obi becomes President and start owing FG workers, he will justify himself and say he's fighting Boko Haram.

Bridget95:
Everyone knows that obi is the best and will make life better for all. Muslims and Christians are warming up to vote for obi in 2023 .

Apc and PDP are afraid of the quality candidate in obi .

Vote Labour Party 2023

Did Obi make life better for all Anambrains?

Because Nigerian (and Africans in general) have a penchant for bastardizing everything they got from Europe.
Is it religion? independence? Democracy?

Legalize gun ownership in Nigeria today and you'll see what will become of Nigeria in just one year.

Marijuana legalisation will be bastardized by Nigerians. And you're just too blind if you do not realize it

Simeonjoe1:
Omo if fit reason like this then we have a long way to go for this 9ja

But common big man no be so now. The way Nigeria be like this na only private investment fit help us o mostly FDI(Foreign direct investors) as those ones dey invest in millions or billions of dollars no be all this small small local investors (expect the likes of dangote them). I no care if na China or Japan.

Guy if I get my way as president I go even sell half of Nigeria to the Chinese if they promise to invest trillions of dollars inside. If there's prosperity for all nobody go care if na Chinese or Nigerians get am na just to chop dey OK concern everybody.

And even with the indigenization policy, Nigerians will still occupy over 70% of the slot even though it is owned by the Chinese. The taxes of the companies will still be paid to the Nigerian Government.

Some of those slowpoke don't even know that most of Singapore is owned by foreign investors.

ImperialYoruba:


You see your life?

You are confused in your own plot.

Lagos own 20, NPA 5.

Read the encircled segment again.

Beside, as many times we have tutored you on why it makes sense to invite such mixed investments, you are still failing to gain wisdom.


Assume you have 100million naira. You want to build a 2x2 shop for spare parts. The shop will cost 20million to build. It is best to look for share holders in the project. The wisdom is to improve your appeal as a stable and trusted trade partner. You do not fork out the whole 20million, you go for a percentage. As you build more trust and acceptability, a day will come when you have a project valued more than you can afford. Your trust will be sufficient to get the fund for it. This is called CREDIT RATING.

Don't worry. We will continue to teach you the wisdom of finance and capital development.

Most of them don't know how things work.

Just like Peter Obi said he has never borrowed. He thinks he can run Nigeria without borrowing and his supporters that don't know their left from right are supporting him.

Danisaint112:
Are you in Nigeria at all? How many times would they list his achievement for you guys?

Achievement in securing lives and property, foreign relation achievement, achievement in the education sector, massive infrastructure built through out Anambra and many more.

https://www.nairaland.com/7217332/peter-obis-achievements-when-he


If you still not satisfied then drop your Twitter handle let me bombard you with his achievements.

Peter Obi is not the type that summon the whole of a village if he wants to commission his project because he belove his work will speak for him.

Vote Peter Obi Chief it's something you will never regret.

There is no Governor today that doesn't have any achievement. Even the worse Governor has achievements.

So I ask you again.. How was his State after his tenure compared with other States with similar revenue and allocation?
Was the health sector the best in the East after his tenure?
Was Anambra infrastructures the best in the East after his tenure?
Was education the best in the East after his tenure?
Was Anambra IGR the best in the East after his tenure?

So what extraordinary thing did he do as a Governor that makes him better than Tinubu or Kwankwaso?

Only Tinubu increasing the IGR of Lagos from N600 million to N12 billion before he left office dwarfs all Peter Obi records combined.

neonly:
Didn't know dey start collection

I collected mine in 2019 but didn't vote.

Tinubu has my vote in 2023

Igboslayer:
While this is good, I think Lagos state needs a a rail line to evacuate containers from the deep sea port to a dry port located in Epe or Ijebu Ode…routing and hauling containers through the streets of Ajah, Ikoyi, Obalende, Victoria Island, Lagos Island through carter bridge and third main land is a traffic disaster waiting to happen. Instead they should consider the Epe corridors connecting Ijebu Ode to the East, South and North.

Not just that.
The railway Buhari is building to Niger is to be connected to this Lekki seaport through the Lagos-Ibadan, Ibadan-Kano and Kano-Maradi rail.

Niger is a landlocked country and they import and export things through other coastal countries and not through Nigeria. So with this, Buhari is linking the railway all the way to Kano and then to Niger (read about the Lagos-Kano-Jibiya or LAKAJI corridor). That way, Niger would import and export through Lekki seaport making it more viable and boost FG revenues through export and import duties and taxes.

And he's also doing similar thing in the East by linking Bonny port in PH to maiduguri for the same reason.

So linking the port to "Epe or Ijebu Ode…routing and hauling containers through the streets of Ajah, Ikoyi, Obalende, Victoria Island, Lagos Island" is just a small part of the game.

Dialpad:
You need a 12 lane hwy, think beyond 5 years, think 25 years to come when population would have exploded.

Check out some freeways in US.

Na money dem go use build am o..
6 lane costs $1.2 billion. 12 would cost almost times too.. Where would they get over $2.4 billion from?

BloomingDale:
Your mumu never do. Everybody na IPOB for ya eye. Be very kiaful. No dey use me play.

Actually, he didn't mention IPOB in his comment

BloomingDale:
Lagos should just be maybe be the financial center. They should stop being greedy and jack of all trades. The city is damn too choked and unlivable. Lagos, the true definition of a shithole city.

If this is what it means for a State to be a shithole then I want my State (Edo State) to be a shithole too.

SouthSouth1914:
I am sure Tinubu is the one building the bridge since he owns Lagos. Haha

Since you criticize Tinubu for everything wrong with the federal Government since you claim he installed Buhari, you will have to praise him for every good thing happening in Lagos since you claim he installed Fashola, Ambode and Sanwo Olu.

Danisaint112:
The problem with Nigeria is that money intended to be used to finance a project is usually split into two. Half is used for the project while half is embezzled.

Until we get past this stage we will never progress as we should. Only a man like Peter Obi will be able to stop things like this.

Vote for a Candidate that have you in mind not someone that has only he and his generation in mind.
Vote Peter Obi. A vote for Peter Obi is a vote you won't regret.

Obi can not win is a lie from the pit of hell. If they tell you a vote for PO is a waste kindly waste it on him and know you did the right thing than to vote for the other and be fighting with your conscience.

If you hate suffering I see no reason why you should still vote this same set of corrupt leaders. Only those who have something to gain would.

Shun tribal and religious sentiments and Vote wisely my people.

Peter Obi that did not divide money for projects into two, how was the State after his tenure compared with other States with similar revenue and allocation?

Was his State better than Imo, Enugu, Abia, Edo etc during his time?

angelfallz:
Why would Obidients complain?

Peter Obi visited Gumi last month and he became the next best thing after chin chin to Obidients.
If a Boko Haram commander supports Obi today, Obidients will follow him.

ValCon888:
The truth is that Twitter as a company is severely bloated. Too many employees doing too little.

Now that a businessman has bought Twitter, he wants to run it like a business.
Cut costs and increase profits.

Employees are a liability when they're not generating revenue to justify their expense.

And this is the same problem with Nigeria.
So many ministers, senators, house of reps, special advisers draining the country's resources.

Too many allowances that don't even make any sense.

Go to the ministries and government agencies to see the high level of inactivity going on.

They're simply pushing pencil, chewing gum, playing solitaire on computer.

We need the the CEO of a Fortune 500 Company to run this country. In less than five years Nigeria will have no debt.

It doesn't take rocket science to fix Nigeria. The people that don't want the country to be fixed prefer Nigeria as it is because they're profiting from the waste and corruption.

Actually running a country like Nigeria is much worse than running your own business.

There are good policies you would want to make in Nigeria that other tribe and regions might not accept.
Eg building a railway from Nigeria to Niger was OK when Jonathan from the South brought it up in 2013 but was a crime when Buhari, a Northerner started it.

Soludo destroyed a church building in his State for a good reason and Christian did not wail, but El Rufai destroyed a church in his state for the same reason and it became a crime.

Jonathan fought BH and Northerners said a fight against BH is anti North. Buhari fought IPOB and Southerners complained.

If a Southern President wants to reduce the workforce in Government agencies and most people affected are Northerners, it would be seen as tribalistic. Same if it is a Northern President.

These and many more reasons too numerous to mention is why Nigeria, a country with too many tribes and two dominant religion, is a million times more difficult to run than a business.

madapcmod:
BC it's only Yorubas and Hausa that are in APC? See reasoning.

When it doesn't favour you guys, you demand justice but you are presently supporting injustice.

On what ground should Yoruba be talking about "our turn" when they had OBJ and Osibanjo in this regime of Buhari? When in the same South, SE have not been considered?

There are 3 boys. Two, who have rode bicycles in the past, contibuted money to buy a bicycle and the deal was when one ride first the other would ride next.
Now the first has rode his turn and it's supposed to the the second's. But now the 3rd boy that didn't contribute shi shi, laughed at, ridiculed, and criticised the two boys that bought the bike thinks it's his turn because he has never rode a bicycle before.

angelfallz:
Gumi is a criminal that should have been arrested long ago. This govt is sympathetic to people like Gumi.

If they arrest Gumi now, Obidients will complain.

BeardedMeat:
Op, are you for real with the 10k per month thing or just saying?
Otherwise, nearly every shop will need to digitalize before they can trade.

That is true.
And many programmers that would want to solve that problem would spring up..

AyePappy:
Rubbish

All these crap about hoarded naira makes no sense as there is no financial incentive to horde the naira. You lose money holding the naira as we can see with its disastrous free fall.

All these stories of old naira notes are bullshit straight from that bullshiter himself Emefile.to justify his currency mopup under the guise of currency swap.

Do not be fooled by these planted stories.

People won't mind hoarding money they stole. Even if it lose value, they'll steal more..

We know N1 billion and 11 years ago is worth more than N1 billion of today.
But N1 billion of today is still a big money in Nigeria.

Although you might still be right.. I've manipulated people before by telling and showing them what I want them to see. So Emefiele can still be doing same.

SteveDGreat:
Tribalism. They are using his words. Our turn . Yoruba turn .

How can it be Yoruba turn when Obasanjo is from Yoruba

In APC, it is the Yoruba turn.
The Yorubas supported the North to enter power in 2015, now it's the Yoruba's turn to be supported

general111:
I am obidient but this is not good news..
The person who should collapse for obi is tinubu.But we all know that the man will never do that since he think it is his turn..
Along the south, voters are divided btw tinubu and obi, with obi winning tinubu with a landslide.
But in the north, no one is presently dividing atiku's vote, not shetimma, not kwankwaso.
So Atiku, will win using the bloc votes he will get from the north..

Tinubu well get more than 40% Northern votes. Tinubu will win the South. Know this and know peace.

IPOB 1-1 IPOB

WhisperedNoise:
A PhD in mathematics is who you call an illiterate in basic economics? Omo, i doubt, with your empty treatise above, that you can bag a PhD in applied mathematics.


BTW, what you wrote up there is theoretical and it is NOT what the naira needs now. How do I know? I'm an advanced student of macro economics and global finance.

If you're a student of macro economics as you claim, you should ask for a refund.
Even a toddler knows that Naira would stop depreciating if the demand on dollars reduce.

If almighty America starts importing things like Nigeria, even the Dollars would lose it's value.

Felimax:
Only Atiku has guaranteed that.
Vote Atiku!
Vote PDP for absolute Restructuring and Devolution of Power.

Atiku can and will not restructure Nigeria or decentralize it.
He knows the North will die of poverty if he does that.

If I was a Northerner from Taraba, Borno, Adamawa, Jigawa etc. I will never allow resource control or restructuring (at least not before using the money from Nigeria to develop the North to be independent of the South). That would be death to my people..
And I'm sure you would too..

Even without being from the North, it would still be difficult for even a Southern President to do that. Cos then, you'll know that you're the President of the 36 States of Nigeria Including the State that millions would starve if you end federal allocation.
Saying yes to resource control and restructuring looks easy now, but when you become powerful enough to effect it and you see the millions of people that would suffer, it's then you'd know that things are not as easy as it looks.

Obi will come 4th in the election next year.

Education is not for the poor.

-Peter Obi

TrumpDonald2:
Yea I know. I meant they should never have started it in the first place.

It was because of this excuse that Nigeria never had railway in the first place since 1960.
Governments were saying it's too expensive, it's too expensive. And 62 years later, it's still too expensive..

Let Buhari build railways however he can. Even if we nor enjoy am, our children go enjoy am

TrumpDonald2:
Sincerely speaking, this project is not worth borrowing. If the government doesn't have funds for it, they should have left it. Plunging this country is to more debt because of this railway in my opinion, is not worth it.

And they should leave it uncompleted?
At least, if it's completed, Nigeria can get revenue from the train fare.
But if uncompleted, all the billions spend on it would just lie fallow.

Ebubu:
that port harcourt to maiduguri is very important.

it will connect the east to the middle belt and north east(two zones with massive food production), so food go cheap for east and south south.


nothing concern me with kano to maradi (niger republic)

Kano maradi railway is taking advantage of the LAKAJI (Lagos Kano Jibayi) corridor.

You should read about it

asanausana91:
iam not forcing anybody not to vote Tinubu but iam telling people like to be ready to accept the consequences of their actions.

The consequences of voting for Tinubu is clearly seen in Lagos today.

I'm ready to accept that consequences.

Reference:
That is not how to live my friend.
You progress in life by learning, working and developing capacities and competencies. We are not born with a bill on our heads by anyone.

We grow and learn and develop. That is how real institutions the world over are established. If you can buy a dog for 20,000 dollars it is because someone has developed it to be worth that. That person does not have two heads.

People who seek to develop themselves will look to produce a better dog worth 25,000 dollars. But here in this part of the world it is evil to do that.

Our lives start and end with a price tag. And that is the one and only reason we are inherently poor. A mentality that is not given to value. A mentality that sees itself perpetually at the bottom of the food chain. A nation of cannots.

Again you talk with emotions.

When you build the center for training dogs and you train people to train dogs so they can work as trainers here in Nigeria at expensive price, how many Nigerians would be able to afford it?

It's not about building and building and building... How would the agency be able to sustain itself?
