Olodo doctor.
How many years ago did obi leave office?

Even cars bought 8 years ago, would have been serviced over 50 times.

Yeah, want's referendum politicians the strolling dead

Beer parlour talk.

I hope Ngige has saved enough money for retirement.

This is not a beer parlour talk. Allow those from the state to judge. Ngige is speaking the truth.

Pakute:
Obi did nothing other than to hand over public schools back to the mission. He didn't build new schools nor revamp. It was the mission who raised the standards of the schools and improved on the quality of Education. And it was a template he copied from Fashola who did it in Lagos before replicating it in Anambra.

So why is Lagos not better that Anambra in education if its same template despite Lagos being a brain drain to virtually all states?.. Fashola was excellent, but please dont ridicule one for another. Obi engineered the bypass of certain funds directly to schools rather than the tollgates at the ministry of education..

wwwihy:
What legacy does Obi has in Anambra that he wants to be President of Nigeria?

Anambra is the most terrorised place in the world

Anambra is the most dirtiest place in the world
Anambra has the largest and most dangerous touts and agberos in the world.

The worst case of SARS killings happened under the watch and directive of Peter Obi

Obi is still the best Governor in Anambra State, he focused on infrastructure and school.

Trentee4eva:
Keep quiet if you don't have anything reasonable to say. Ngige and Peter Obi did a wonderful job in Anambra. Ngige is just playing politics with this statement.

Don't put Ngige and Obi in the same breathe. Ngige and Obiano were far better than Obi in all areas of governance. Obi has no infrastructural legacy in Anambra.

Fear fear

Evident of what Pastor Suleiman said "East (Ibos) don't like themselves" instead to support his own he's castigating it.

Ngige is like Joe Igbokwe - reasoning from the ass.
Obi built the best and too many roads in Anambra state.

You are meant to finish your budgetary provision by the end of the year. At worst case not more than 5% of your budget should remain. You can't tell me the money he saved can't be used for something else, what is he saving govt money for?

He met all that target, the savings were just excesses, paddings etc and yes the funds were invested to accrue interest. As at 2016, it yielded over 20% worth of profit.. now imagine our excesses at the Federal level, only one whom has done it before can do it on a larger scale.

Political jingoism!

The Ipobian Biafra want to use their online community of deception to propagate Him Tu Lie, to Aso Rock.

This one came out straight for his brother's jugular out of the varieties in the market. They will never learn

foryourmindlol:
Ngige should mention the roads that have washed off. Open mouth waa like fool.

I expect the same fools mocking Ngige for ASUU strike will undoubtedly believe this beer palour talk because their arch nemesis Peter Obi's name is being mentioned.

Back to the topic: Peter Obi did a lot of things including federal roads (eg Onitsha to Nkpor stretch of Enugu-Onitsha Expressway, etc, those are still standing), he built so many rural roads that Anambra till today is said to have the highest road network (you will not enter any community as remote as it is without at least one or two major roads linking it to the next one).

If I don't know any other thing, I know that the three flyovers in Awka constructed by Peter Obi are standing gidigba today.

Note: the state was battling with very lean resources then. It was indebted in tune of billions. But when Peter Obi left there was not a single loan. He left the 75bn in state coffers instead.

KIDNAPPED GOVERNOR, CHRIS NGIGE. Unique.

Ngige was kidnapped while he was governor. A governor who could not provide himself with adequate security.
How can he secure Nigeria as president?

Which target? There is nothing like savings in govt money, before a fiscal year starts, you are meant to do a budget of all you will spend for that year. Its either his finance team over budgeted or he just wants to treat the govt money as his personal money. No Govt can tell me he has finished all the work in the state. There is always something u can do with that money

How is Education in Anambra better than that of Lagos?. If you talking about Education, then it''d mean the summation of secondary, technical colleges and state's tertiary institutions. Show me anything Obi did in Education sector aside handing over to the mission and we compare with fashola.

Peter 'China' Obi na wash b4

Na you go conduct the research ...tell us what your own man did that we should vote him, we have learnt our lessons from APC it won't fly this time . Tell us about your man, what he did and what he will do. Leave others for us we know about them .

This useless ThiefNuibu journalist hatchet man who cursed, abused & insulted Awolowo & his family on behalf of ThiefNuibu, his paymaster in the Nation newspaper?

Babasessy:
The Awolowo rebirth in the Southwest has inspired gongs, songs and rhetoric of sorts. But they have missed one point.

It occurred to me in Abeokuta last week amidst the big crowds and euphoria of the swearing-in of Senator Ibikunle Amosun as governor. In all the states from Lagos to Edo, where Awo has witnessed ideological resurgence, hardly a single family member has played a role.

So we have an Awo family without an Awo. That is an irony. But history overwhelms us with this sort of twist. Obafemi Awolowo toiled for his reputation. His roots were lowly, he toiled to school both home and abroad, launched into careers in law, business, journalism and eventually politics. He carved a niche for himself, and became the first methodical and charismatic leftist in our history.  Other leftists abounded but they did not inspire comparable drama and following.

He faced tribulations, went to jail, failed in elections, won a few, but he imprinted his ideas and legacy in the country, and no single mortal has beaten him in the history of this country. His greatest achievement was in the area of ideas, and that was how he fashioned a family. Most families are born of biology but his issued from ideology. That family suffered with him.

In a spoof of Jesus Christ, these were the men who followed him in his teachings, and endured with him in his temptations. So he formed a kingdom for them in the Southwest, in the old Western Region, presiding over his projects, his legacies and people.

In all of these, the family he had was not his flesh and blood. In another spoof of Christ, who were his family anyway? Those who were with him must be counted as his family. So, I combed in the ambience of Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), and I found none. I went to Ogun, I frisked the crowd under Amosun’s bower, hardly any. Around Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola in Osun, I could not lay a finger. With Governor Kayode Fayemi in Ekiti, where are the forbears of Awo? Yet, I can hear the chants of Awo. Hardly in any of the inaugural speeches or any of their other public intervention would you miss the philtre and filter of Awo from these gentlemen. To parody Novelist Joseph Conrad, they are the sparks from Awo’s sacred fire, the messengers of the might within the man.

Already all of them are pursuing the legacy ideas of Awo: free education, free health services, infrastructural development, urban renewal and economic engineering.

Lagos has posted itself as the John the Baptist. The others are putting up valiant efforts, and the world of course is watching to see how well they will perform. It will call for great work, resourcefulness and cooperation. They are the real Awoists, and Awo was a man of rigour and vigour.

The Awo son that many expected to take after the father was Olusegun, who unfortunately died in a car crash. We shall never know if he could have pulled it off.  But the others have not shown much of the paterfamilias’ brio and depth. In the past decade, under this republic, they have blended with the wrong crowd. Even H.I.D, hobnobbed with Alao-Akala, who brought illiteracy to governance; with Oyinlola who turned the grace of office into a hell-hole of despots; with Daniel who could not arrest his quick fall into megalomania.

I wrote once that this woman whom Awo once described as the jewel of inestimable value has lost value to his cause. If he came back to life, he would have committed the extraordinary act of divorce after death. Even his newspaper, The Tribune, has so stumbled and fallen that it swims in Awo’s vomit.

Groucho Max, one of the funniest satirists in American history, said of a man that he got his looks from his father. Then he quipped, “He was a plastic surgeon.” That means the son is not his real son, or he did not inherit his natural looks. Ideologically, when we talk of Awo’s family, the chief inheritor is Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as the leader of all the others. He was the one who stuck his neck out. He could have lost his life or ended his career in politics. The so-called real Awolowos who bear his surname cannot come up for mention. They are Awolowos but not Awoists. They stabbed their father in the back. They have committed ideological parricide.

The only person that made a real try was Awolowo-Dosunmu in the early 1990s and she lost roundly. She was accused of trying to ride her father’s coattail. Political families are good for democracies. They can exemplify the high ideals of diligence, dignity, ideas, character. We have seen these in such families as the Kennedys, the Adamses, the Roosevelts, the Ghandis. They just don’t claim family. They appeal to the high ideals that endeared the families to their societies.

It’s also an irony that these families are falling into twilight. Some of them have vanished. Enoch Powell, a British MP, once gave us the famous line: “All political lives, unless they are cut off midstream at a happy juncture, end in failure because that is the nature of politics and human affairs.”

Columnist Ambassador Dapo Fafowora adverted to this idea in a recent outing, and I debated it with him afterwards. I don’t believe that a political life should be judged by how it ends but what it means. The quote is often missed by many who mistake “careers” for “lives.” A political life should be judged by its legacies. If we judged Awo by how he ended, we would look at him only as the loser to Shagari. That is why I see an intrinsic mischief in Enoch’s quote. But I would agree that political families end also in failure if you judge how they peter out and not the legacy.

Awo’s legacy is alive and well. Members of other families in flesh and blood can carry on. Immediate families tend to suffer from what an author, Noemie Emery, describes as dynastic curse. The children tend to be intimidated by the standards set by the fathers. So they just don’t want to try. They feel they cannot match them or come even close.  The problem probably comes from the fathers themselves. The Adams, who produced important presidents, later gave birth to moral vagrants and drunks. The Bush daughters showed themselves as party girls when their father was contesting the political battle of his life.

But Joe Kennedy groomed his sons assiduously, and they excelled in politics. They also had a fair share of tragedies. Ted Kennedy regained his sobriety and voice in America after a season of debauchery. In Nigeria, we are seeing the Sarakis fade. A Saraki – Bukola - is wiping out the Sarakis from politics. It is a classic case of oedipal tragedy, something I predicted earlier this year on this page.

It is not late though for the flesh-and-blood Awolowos to join their father’s fold. But they must be genuine. Awo was the most important Yoruba personage in history after Oduduwa. They had stellar men like Oranmiyan, Balogun Latosa, Lisabi, Sodeke, et al. None of them had the unifying vision and organisational acumen that Awolowo gave the race. The wife, children and grandchildren should not watch others glow in his jewel without them.

Pandora peter obituary china, the most useless politician in Nigeria
The bastard will never be president of this country, he can only rule his fellow incons*qu*ntial 5% p*gs in their tiny unproductive region of cannibals
On Tinubu's mandate i stand

Your opinion

I use to respect and admire this Ngige until yesterday night after his interview with Channelstv.

Ngige knows he stands no chance with peter obi even if the devilish party gives him their ticket , he has resort in name calling and de-marketing

Obi still is the best governor so far in the east.

yoruba muslims comments on this thread will still show their sentiment
read their negative comments here

West1side:
I ask the fool person wey revolutionise education please tell us how many schools or if no schools how many block of classroom the Pandora bastard built na there the fool shut him foolish mouth start to insult that I hate Igbos. I wonder if his father paid me to love igbos with all the insult I see igbos ditch out to others on this same from.

Thank God there are people like us who are not from Anambra but schooled in Anambra State when Peter Obi recovered his mandate as governor.

And if there's one thing everyone of us will tell you, it is that Peter Obi is a rare breed.

Education in that state got a massive facelift, then the roads too. Moving around used to be a nightmare during the rains but overtime, this was alleviated.

I don't know where you get your facts from but I'll advise that you pull out your head from the proverbial hole and research facts for yourself.

Pakute:
Don't put Ngige and Obi in the same breathe. Ngige and Obiano were far better than Obi in all areas of governance. Obi has no infrastructural legacy in Anambra.

Lol.. Who released this one o

So even if we want to believe this man you want to tell me road constructed over 10years isn't due to wash away?

DesChyko:
Lol.. Who released this one o

You're a kid obviously. Ngige started the transformation of Anambra despite the distractions he was faced with.
Obi is the least so far.

ifex370:
Beer parlour talk.

I hope Ngige has saved enough money for retirement.

But most importantly, Peter Obi made Anambra that used to be known as business inclined to begin topping academic examination results in Nigeria.
He revamped & rejigged the entire academic structure of Primary & Secondary Schools in the state in my very eyes because I was there during his first tenure & I ask this question....what's better than EDUCATION?
Ngige is a crooked con man & nothing else.

Mandate2023:
so everyone must support ur obi and if dey r not buying into his propaganda dey must be tinubu supporter?

But ngige who made d statement is also contesting

How does Obi affect Ngige's getting APC ticket ? Let him get APC ticket first before raining falsehood against Obi. He knows he is not getting APC ticket. Looking at the time he even declared his intention, you can deduce that he is sponsored to damage the image of Obi even if he has to lie. But right thinking Nigerian youths know the truth and hopefully will do the right thing when the time comes.

Nairaland should clamp down on fake and multiple accounts holder. They are countless in this thread.

Just carefully check the way they write and you will see they were paid to just write anything about peter Obi.

The most shocking thing is that this guy is a young man. Just because of few change from.....

Am talking about that West whatever..

The least you could do is a little research, I bet you av never been to Anambra before sef....

Somebody like me that have been in Anambra when he was governor and currently in Anambra still doing my business knows the fact.

Keep selling out for cheap change.

Pakute:

Let's start with how well you know Anambra State first. Are you from Anambra State? Did you school there? Did you spend years there?

I cannot be having a conversation with a person who had to rely on social media extracts to form an opinion about Anambra State.

Don't mind the psychos. Look at one of them above actually trying to put Peter Obi and Ngige in one sentence.
There is no limit to the audacity of sycophants
The source of the pain is not farfetched sha

ngige, your biggest opponents are in the APC not peter obi who is in the PDP.

you lied .Many of Peter obi's road in Anambra are still standing to date. Even some of Ngige's have spoilt.

The road connection in Anambra is second to none. Every breadth of Anambra is connected to the other with well tarred roads in most cases.They have a very vibrant village development unions in Anambra that aids where the government stops.

if Nigeria can adopt the Anambra approach to development,we will become a developed nation in no time.
