"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free"

I have decided to lay before all Nigerians the TRUTH by making a comparative performance analysis of Lagos & Anambra using key development indicators

Walk with me


The famous biblical parable of the talents is one i love so much cos its lessons can be taught by all generations.

This is the first of a 3 parts comparative performance analysis series;

Did I hear u say, oh Mr Ay, its unfair to compare Lagos state with Anambra,well u maybe right, after all why would anyone compare;

Lagos the Toast of Africa - from the Portuguese, to the British, to the locals & Nigeria as a whole, everyone just want her

&

Anambra the state left in ruins after the civil war (imagine what's happening in Ukraine currently).

However, like the lessons taught in the parable of the talents, u still have to be accountable with the little u have, if u want to be entrusted with more.

So here we will be looking at the performance of BAT (2003-2007), PO (2007-2014) using key development indicators.

Disclaimer: This thread is not for;

1.) Blockheads - If you are not teachable, just pass

2.) IGR boys - If ur understanding of development economics is IGR please pass. This is above ur pay grade

Everything i will be sharing are verifiable facts from verifiable sources.

Below are growth indicators often used by development economist to access low-middle income countries hence we will be using it here

1.) Gross National Income per Capita
2.) Life Expectancy
3.) Human Development Index (HDI)
4.) Health Index
5.) Educational Index
6.) Income Index

My data source is from the renowned Global Data Lab (GDL) - an independent data & research center at the institute of Management research, Radboud University, Netherlands
globaldatalab.org

GDL started compiling data from 2003, hence BAT's Performance is evaluated from 2003

From the above 6 indicators used in measuring public governance performance in low-middle income country, PO outperformed lagos of Fashola & BAT in ALL

Factoring IGR, investments in lagos since colonial days & the civil war, its safe to say Peter Obi is in a league on his own
So comparing Lagos with Anambra in terms of the globally accepted developmental indicators is an INSULT to Anambra state & the leadership of Peter Obi.

As if that were not enough, let's look at the departing gift Peter Obi presented to Anambra state & BAT to Lagos state

To proof that his education at Harvard Business School, Kellog School of Management, Oxford & Cambridge weren't just for fun, PO in his handover note left local & foreign investment savings in billions of Naira & cash savings for the state as can be seen as attached & verified

This is Lagos state before Tinubu came back from exile and introduced agbero and looting.

As seen in one of the image in the last tweet, the investment had a MINIMUM 2years maturity period before the state can sell part of it for liquidity

In attached images, u can see how the next government generated funds from the investments PO made on behalf of the state

These are funds, Peter Obi could have easily stolen like many governors in Nigeria shamelessly do.

Show me any servant leader in Nigeria's history at least since 1999.

Meanwhile He did all of this and still chose to deprive himself of ALL entitlements as an ex-governor.

Contrast that with BAT

He left 27 billion naira in the treasury & a whopping 100billion naira debt for which his successor increased to over 400 billion naira

The self serving leader also proposed huge renumeration for himself as seen in the image below

Dear Citizens of Nigeria, this day life & death has been presented to you, choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;

All this is not necessary
. Don't be like those Tinubu supporters be better

Those supporting APC are true enemies of Nigeria.

You want to help Tinubu to get his TURN not to develop Nigeria.

BATified2023

Take your time and go through these images and see if the man you claimed have taken benefits from Anambra is worth voting for...

Why is it that when someone who lives in Lagos wants to relocate to Anambra it is seen as a downward move in live while someone who lives in Anambra and wants to relocate to Lagos is assumed to have moved up in life progress?

Even the person that compiled this comparison would never go to Anambra and look for a job, work, or live.

The disclaimer said it's not for BLOCKHEADS.

I know you see living in Lagos as your saving grace in life but fortunately, that's not what life is all about.

Numbers don't lie, Peter Obi is the best thing to happen to Nigeria come 2023.

At the end of it all, it is Tinubu that has implemented structures that continue to grow the economy of Lagos and provide jobs for the teeming Anambra graduates.

The economic opportunities stemming from Lekki Free Trade Zone and the associated Real Estate boom, Eko Atlantic are some of the achievements of Tinubu that continue to bring rewards into the future.

Obi with his 2 Talents hid it so he can give a report to the Master (the residents of Anambra) that what he received was not lost and can be returned without any growth.

Tinubu with his 5 Talents borrowed more and can give a report to the master (the residents of Lagos) that growth was achieved and more growth continue to occur.

Just yesternight, many buses departed Anambra to exploit economic opportunities in Tinubu's Lagos.

Case closed!

Sound and evidence backed comparison.

I laugh when they compare Anambra with Lagos, forgetting that Lagos has greater inherent advantage over all the states in Nigeria.

They claim Tinubu raised men, ask them why those men he raised (aregbesola, Fayemi et al) have not replicated Lagos in their various states.

Just like Abuja is been developed now, tomorrow, if it's made a state, one Governor will come and claim he built Abuja
