Honestly,there are people in this country that can fix this country if we can vote right. Our problem is leadership, there's nothing wrong with Nigeria.
pricklewane: Peter obi a global nuisance and criminal that built malls in Abuja n PH with Anambra state fund while he was the governor. Before you epistle of having money to build such please tell us how many mall did he built before n after his terms as governor not when he looted Anambra beyond death. Just imagine if this kind of project was undertaken by Obiano, Okorocha, Fashola Osinbajo, Buhari or Tinubu etc
Someone in several company board of directors including fidelity bank, its now building mall that will be his problem? Well, you are talking from the angle of a poor man.
mekaboy: Before i dive into this discussion, it is important to note that is said Tinubu stands a better chance to be president. I did not say he will be a better president than peter obi.
So lets dive in.
Here i will outline my reasons for saying Tinubu stands a better chance than peter obi.
Nobody needs to tell anybody that Nigeria is heading for the rocks. A weakened economy, rising unemployment, increase in crime, anarchy is inevitable.
Who put Nigeria on this path? The lazy politicians from the North to the south. The same lazy politicians that will rather borrow than produce will ensure Nigeria remains on the path to destruction.
Tinubu is on the side of the northern politicians that believe in oil. Their approach to solving problems is to throw money at the problems .
They are too scared to think outside the box. The thought of surviving without oil funds gives them nightmares.
Its obvious that 99.9% of yoruba billionaires made money from oil, while the same cant be said of igbos.
While peter obi made his money from business, tinubu made his from oil and government.
So tinubu easily aligns his thoughts with the north that believes and depends on oil.
Those lazy people that have held Nigeria down over the years, will rather die than find themselves in a situation where they are forced to think and create wealth.
Tinubu is a politician while peter obi is a businessman. The difference between the two is that the politician depends on power to stay alive, while the businessman depends on a stable environment to succeed.
There is high unemployment rate because Nigeria spends more on government than the people. Which is what a typical politician wants.
So lets look at their approach to issues.
While tinubu believes that the solution to insecurity is to send more youths into the military to be killed by terrorists, peter obi believes that if the economy is fixed, the insecurity will be drastically reduced.
But which option do you think a selfish lazy politician will choose? Sending more youths into the army is far easier. The more soldiers killed the more youths are recruited into the army. After all, their salary will be paid.
But fixing the economy will require thinking outside the box. Trying to cut the cost of governance, creating wealth instead of borrowing, and creating employment in the process.
So while tinubu is on the easy path that the North prefers, peter obi is on the difficult path that the north will oppose.
While peter obi complained about borrowing for consumption and paying subsidy?
Tinubu joined a protest against Jonathan over subsidy removal. Today Nigeria is printing money to add to loans to survive. Obaseki few weeks ago exposed the current state of the economy. Confirming what peter obi has been saying years back.
While tinubu puts the party first before the nation, peter obi puts the nation before the party.
Recall that Tinubu asked " where are the cows" to prove that herdsmen killed his people.
His wife recently attacked an APC member smart adeyemi, for attempting to put the nation first before the party.
The prefer to live in denial. Which is something the north enjoys doing. Just like the case of pantami, with all the evidence available, they chose to deny.
Even when ganduje was caught on camera, the president said he needs to know the technology used.
While a politician sees government as the opportunity and environment needed to succeed, the businessman sees the government as a tool to provide the needed environment to succeed.
That is why tinubu owns half of lagos state, while peter obi only owns his house in onitsha and the one he bought abroad before joining politics.
While tinubu saw opportunity in government, by collecting tax for the state. Peter obi has no business with the state after he left office.
Another determining factor is religion. The way the country is currently structured, it will be almost impossible for a Christian to rule this country again.
The reason why the bombs are no longer going off like it was during the time of GEJ, is that a muslim who shares same ideology with bokoharam is now in power.
As soon as buhari entered, he called on the part of bokoharam that are loyal to him to stop. They agreed that even if there are to be attacks, it should only be Christians.
That agreement was fulfilled by the abduction of dabchi girls. Returning only the muslims and holding the christian girl captive. Unfortunately, the christians were too busy collecting tithe and offering, that they missed message passed.
For the first time the bokoharam terrorists, drove through streets and the military and police stood to watch.
That was a message that christians would no longer be allowed to rule this country.
The only part of bokoharam attacking today are those thay believe that both Christians and muslims who do not obey the koran to the letter will be killed.
So here are the reasons why tinubu stands a better chance.
1) He Is a muslim and the north decides who wins.
2) The terrorists will intimidate the north if the dare vote an infidel.
3) Tinubu believes in printing more money, borrowing more, and sending more youths to die.
While peter obi believes is cutting cost of governance. Removing subsidy, investing in the people.
Remeber the North and the lazy politicians capitalise on hunger, poverty and unemployment to win elections.
That is why they like the almajiri. The refused to use tbe school GEJ built. The want their people to remain poor and uneducated so that they can easily be controlled by religion.
Tinubu also has touts, alaye, agbero under his controll, and counts on them for electoral victory.
If peter obi becomes president. Government will no longer be favourable. Power will move from the politicians to the people, who will become gainfully employed as a result of a stable business environment.
But if tinubu becomes president, Nigeria will borrow more, the naira will further depreciate, unemployment will worsen, insecurity will worsen. The only employment opportunity will be the police and army. Where the youths will join and be killed while confronting the insecurity created by hardship.
I believe that with the points raised above, you see the reason why the north will choose tinubu over peter obi. And why this country is heading for a crash.
The shares are not his. He invested it on behalf of the State. He is a rabid capitalist. He saw an opportunity and he invested for his state.
The revenues goes to the state.
And Obiano has not come out to refute it even though they are now enemies.
He invested state funds in his family ogogoro business (Hero beer), that's corruption of the highest order. Stop whitewashing Peter Obi here, we are not fools. Let him be bold enough to declare his presidential aspiration then watch us pull out his dossiers, From Akwuzu SARS to his immense corruption. Atiku won't even make the mistake of making him his running mate again....fact

Whats your own family's business offline? Intafact is now owned by peter obi. Google is your friend and stop sounding empty and ignorant to score points.
Yes he invested state funds and its still states shares. While obi is investing for the state, tinubu sees his state as an investment.
The same advice obi gave under jonathan about subsidy, which tinubu and his gang protested about. Today, the governors are asking for the removal, because NNPC cant contribute anymore.
Remember he kemi adeosun and osibanjo were living in denail of obi's claims what is the situation today? What obi saw 10 years ago, tinubu can't see today.
Thats why obi can create wealth outside oil and government and tinubu can't.
Peter Obi urchins are on the loose again trying to sell the bigot and murderer. The way they hype this guy ehn, one would think he turned Anambra to a first world state during his eight years tenure. Oyo, Ogun etc are still better governed and more developed than Anambra but some clowns want us to believe Peter Obi performed magic while in office.
Anyway, no amount of Tinubu hate can change the political situation in PDP. Atiku and Tambuwal will fight for the ticket and Obi will queue behind Fulani Atiku as usual with the hope of getting the slavish VP ticket. Obi is Atiku nwaboy without the balls to challenge his master for PDP’s ticket and that’s never going to change.
Stop putting Tinubu and Obi in the same sentence, it’s an unforgivable sin. They are miles apart in every area of comparison. Today, Lagos is the fifth largest economy in Africa and the best governed state in the country. Anambra is among the worst governed state in Nigeria without any meaningful local economy. The situation of the two states is what defines the legacy of the two former governors.

Common sense is truly not common. What do you expect of a former countries capital with huge investment in infrastructure from federal government and a sea port?
Move the capital to Anambra for the next 4 years and come back with this post.
Are all the things he warned about years ago not happening today?
Nigeria has more hope with peter obi as VP than Tinubu as president.

Are all the things he warned about years ago not happening today? Which huge investment? Sea and airports were built by the British from loan collected from Yorubas and they had more than enough been self-sustaining since then. Most of the present Lagos state were part of defunct Western Region. All the major Industria estates were built by Awolowo and Lagos state government. Apapa was not FCT, Oshodi and all parts of mainland were Western region. Only three local governments out of the present 20 were in FCT. Ignorance and the lies fed you by your forefathers is deceiving you

Like i said, move the capital to Anambra. When a state becomes capital all government agencies have their headquarters there. Which means people have to migrate to the place for contracts. What would people be doing in Abuja if it was not capital?
The seaport in lagos made it commercial capital. Means people have to lagos to access the sea. This will affect the economy of any state positively. This is what common sense should do for u.

Go and meet the federal government for that. Even when Calabar was capital, Lagos was more prosperous. Industrialization and the hospitality of Yorubas is the reason why Lagos is ahead of the whole West Africa. Take your pains to the Federal Government, Yorubas are not the cause of your wahala

There is nothing like hospitality. People migrated to lagos, yorubas sold their land to the people and used the money to solve their urgent needs. There is nothing about hospitality. Simply the previous capital and access to sea that caused Migration. Compare the price of land in ikoyi to the price of land in other yoruba states. Dont they have hospitality in osun, ogun etc?

Yoruba sold land to who? Yoruba owns most lands in Lagos. And if you buy, you are only holding for 99 years.

He does not need to declare. You have to beg him to, else your life remains miserable and backward.
You are waiting to peter obi to declare, while poverty is waiting to finish u.
If investing state funds in personal/family businesses when there are other pending human and infrastructural developmental need is the definition of good governance to you then it's no surprise why SE remain the poverty capital of the south.

His family is not peter obi. Besides her was no longer in the board of the company as at the time of investment. A poverty ravaged country is more interested in fighting someone that invested state funds in a company that made profit for the state. Whereas someone who imposed himself as the state tax collected till date. Moved money from the taxes for personal businesses is celebrated.
This is exactly the mindset that tinubu needs to continue from where buhari left off.
OritoJasi: Op, why not first of all ask PDP, the darling party of the ibo people, why they don't see Peter Obi as a viable choice or option for the presidency, in spite of all the hype surrounding his competence? PDP won't even give the man a chance to test his popularity, yet you are here writing sermon. You people are not serious.
We aren't talking about popularity but a vote of hate and love usually done by some Nigerians.
This is a country that can vote for Osama Laden over a well qualified candidate just because of sentiments they throw away merit and good sense.
Today, I wonder why anybody who voted for Buhari will still criticize him. For what?

Lol...if every Governor had collected state revenue and invested it in their personal businesses where will the money from development come from. For you It's okay for a governor to invest state fund in his personal business, to others it's cool for the Governor to use his personal business to generate and collect revenue for the state.

Yes. Better than moving the funds abroad. Obi left office and left Anambra funds. The funds he invested is working for the state and helping the current administration.
Tinubu is still collecting tax on behalf of the state. Handing his son over advertising and owning half of lagos.

Of course we can see how the audio funds is making south east the poverty capital of the South na. And how the Lagos Tinubu looted has become the heavens of your kith and kins.

Hypocritical People...tueh
Same with your kits. Atleast alot yorubas are tenants to Igbo's in lagos. Can the same be said of igbos in Anambra.
Do your search and find out if Anambra is not the highest single share holder in the investment till date.
Is tery waya from lagos? But he developed banana island and sold.
All Nigerians moved the the economic capital. If lagos is not a contribution of all Nigerians, why isnt property sold at the same rate in other SW states?
