E Don Set: Nigerians Dig Out Amazing Roads In The North In Response To Peter Obi's CNN Statement(Photos)

Wow, there is an intellectual exchange between Tinubu's camp and the LP presidential candidate, Peter Obi, which is trending on social media right now.

In his conversation with CNN, a global media outlet, Peter Obi The Labour Party presidential candidate made a general dismissal of northerners in response to a journalist's query, saying they "have no good roads and security" and live in inhospitable conditions.

This has since sparked a challenge from internet users who were offended by the statement and have responded with the GOOD ROAD CHALLENGE in the North.

People are currently displaying some adorable roads in the north, some of which have been there for some time. The images that have been circulated are mind-boggling; I mean, these photographs are awesome; cool images have appeared in Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, and other places.

So check out some of the roads for yourself and let us know what you think. Is the North really lagging behind in terms of good roads, as the LP presidential candidate who hails from the South East claims?

They want to exaggerate what Obi said just to paint him black but thank God that Nigerians are solidly behind him.

Sentiment aside, I think the core Northern states enjoy good inter and intra city roads unlike their counterparts in the South.

That doesn't change anything


It means



90% state revenue should be for the state


While remaining 10% should be given to the federal government

I don't know how old you are but some of us who knew him before he became gov know that for years, he claimed to be from University of Chicago, even till he got sworn in and then the school wrote to say they dont know him.
Meanwhile, let's stay with his academic qualification, you that your brain is true, can you tell us from your brain what primary and secondary school he attended. Peter Obi attended CKC onitsha, please mr true brain, can you tell us the true secondary school your candidate attended.

Pathological liar like Peter Obi, Chicago state university didn't say they don't know him. Chicago state university have severally confirmed Tinubu as their graduate. So why is your brain still wailing? Go get a transplant. See the attached picture below for example.

kk2027:
How old is Tinubu?
Which primary school did he attend?
Which secondary school?


What's his source of wealth?

Answer these questions before you call an intellectual like honorable POa liar
Another gibberish because these are things already known about Tinubu but hatefilled people keep crying as if na your mama born am. Tinubu celebrate his birthday with colloquium every year since he became Lagos governor. So what are you crying about? Na your mama born am?

On his education, he's a Bsc graduate of business administration and accounting from Chicago state university which have severally confirmed him and even posted him as one of their outstanding alumni. His secondary school equivalent was Daley college. That's enough for me. You can keep wailing and crying.
No one care!

Peter Obi is called a liar because he says one thing today and another thing tomorrow. Moreover, he's a Dullard without achievement in his state.

How can someone goes on an International TV to disparage a section of the country saying "they have NO good roads and security". Meanwhile, half of the roads in his own region have been washed away by erosion and the other half left with potholes.
Peter Obi is afflicted with the diarrhea of the mouth such that whenever he opens his mouth, he vomits stupidity.
and that's a major consequence, when a man seeks advice from madmen before going to the public.

I recently used the Auchi- Okene- lokoja - Abuja highway.
The Enugu- Oturkpo- Gboko- KatsinaAla - Wukari- Jalingo -Yola highway.
They are all dead traps with massive potholes and gullies.

We can't even see Tinubu to address Nigerians not to talk of the world. A candidate we can't see or hear during elections, is it after elections we'll see him

No be juju be that?

They just want to exaggerate what PO said. Nothing is working in this country. Almost all the roads are bad, just few.

You can't even travel on any road safely, without fear of being attacked, killed or getting kidnapped.

We must tell ourselves the truth if we really desire for a true change.

A better Nigeria is possible.

Kid, you're full of insults and bad mouth. Its okay. I forgive you. It's a sign of kids from poor parentage.
Now, let me educate you. For decades, even from when he was lobbying the military junta, Tinubu always paraded himself as a graduate of university of Chicago, even till he became governor.
Now, when it was investigated and the school denied having him on their records, he now said its Chicago state university, a far smaller and unknown university, no more university of Chicago. And he blamed his side,Afikuyomi for it. If you go check the details he filed as Gov, it read university of Chicago, but the one for president now rightly states Chicago state university.
Nevertheless, can you tell us what he graduated with. Nobody knows. All the spokesmen say is; 'its equivalent of 1st class' without saying what it is.
Secondly kid, can you tell us what secondary school he attended and the year?
Thirdly, which primary school he attended and the year?

If you can provide these, I will openly support Tinubu.

But how can you be campaigning for a person you know nothing about, even his real name
