FULL TRANSCRIPT OF THE SECTION OF ARISE INTERVIEW WITH PETER OBI @TONYEBARCANISTA POSTED

Rufai: OK, but Mr Peter Obi, it is not as easy as you just said it is. Should I tell you why? Because you have to buy more guns to fight the bandits that don't make people farm on the farmlands, to fight the bandits that killed 100 farmers in Zababare, to fight the legacy issues of infrastructure that would inhibit production, and a lot of people keep asking, you keep talking about production but as a businessman you used to import a lot into this country, those are some of the things they hold against you. You talk about production but you're a big net importer into this country. And, how will you solve those legacy issues? That's why we talked about security.

Peter Obi cuts in...

Peter Obi: Let me tell you, I talked about security, let me tell you, Rufai. I've been going around this country. I've visited 5 prisons and I can invite you to go to one with me. I sat down with some when I went into a prison, there were 1000 people and I interviewed 100.

Why were you involved in kidnapping?
I have no job!
Why were you involved in cultism?
I have no job!
Why were you involved in kidnapping?
I have no job!

And I said to them, how much were you paid in the last operation? Rufai, you won't believe it, N30,000, N25,000, N100,000. What this shows is that if these people can have a steady income of N50,000, they won't be involved in that. The more you pull people out of poverty, I've said repeatedly, the more you reduce criminality. We have these things in Brazil. I can show you countries where it has been practised. All these agitations and criminality were all over the place in Brazil until Brazil decided to do what I am telling you now, investing in these people. It means these things I'm going to do is going to reduce this criminality because they will be part of the farmers earning income. Today bandits are taking 8 local Governments in Niger state, I'm telling you if you put money in the farther land of Niger state, you'll reduce them by 50%. Because they've found something they're doing that'll give them money. What else do they want?

Rufai cuts in....

Rufai: You talked about Brazil, are you going to do social investment because it is under .....(Inaudible - PO and Rufai were speaking at the same time)

Peter Obi: I might not, I will do a combination of everything. There's a combination of everything. You're not going to do one straight thing. It's a combination of everything that will say, we are going to pull these people out of poverty, because the more we do it, so we deal with those legacy issues. On the issue of what my importation is, let me tell you what I did and I'll like to refer to Reuben cos I've known Reuben for over 30 years. Go and ask anybody what my business is, that is what I even studied. If you go and read what I studied at Harvard, it's market-to-market management. I'm marketing, I'm a distributor. Go and ask Coca-Cola, they're in Nigeria, ask other people as at the time I was in business, I was one of their biggest distributors. It's like seeing Walmart, Walmart today sells goods from Vietnam, India, etc but they don't manufacture them. My job is not to manufacture, although I invested in manufacturing companies too, my job is distribution so I distribute. When I was doing business, less than a quarter, 25% of what I sell are imported goods, the rest are manufactured goods. It's a mixture so that when you go into the supermarket, you'll see local products and others. And, I was productive.

We stopped at 37:12

TonyeBarcanista, we understand your desperation and you're truly deserving of our pity. What else can you do when your party don't have anything to campaign with?

Thanks for the clarification..
Cc seun mynd44.
Do the needful. And stop false hood..

I am calling on Seun and other moderators to bring a balance to the falsehood on the front page by moving this rebuttal to the front page as well.

Obi sounds cool ,obedient, caring and in fact ,young enough to rule Nigeria .How do you expect an aged person to rule Nigeria , we all know that there is a saying the young shall grow now this elderly men in Nigeria don't seem to know the meaning of the young shall grow.

It is only fair that Seun, OAM4J, lalasticlala, and Mynd44 move this counter thread to the front page to create a balance, Nairaland shouldn't be used as a medium for propagating misinformation and falsehood.

Tonye Barcanister is pitiful, I really pity the crook

SadiqBabaSani:
Tonye Barcanister is pitiful, I really pity the crook

...and shameless. How the mighty have fallen. He used to be very popular around here until he caught the political bug and started defecting from PDP to APC and back to PDP again. Such an inconsistent fellow.

Has it gotten to the point of "cut and joining videos" of Peter Obi with oppositions..

Its only shows emptiness..

I watched the interview life, Obi was on point,

Arise crew also challenges Tinubu to grant a live interview.

Watch out nairaland moderators will not move this to front page, because they may have been paid to demarket P.O

When they try to de market Obi,the more his value sore high.

No amount of blackmail and propaganda will stop Obi.

Esseite:

What else will they campaign with when they have nothing to show for after 16 years?

They have now resorted to doctoring Obi videos like the one he China pulled 435m out of poverty. They doctored it to Nigeria but they useless hungry idiots promoting corrupt septuagenarians to rule their families not Nigerians will always fail the way they have always done

exactly the more they try to demarket him, the more more new supporters he wins every day and more resolve to vote him on election day

One thing that this elections and campaigns has shown is that true political activism based on real patriotic beliefs, do not exist in this country anymore. The likes of Reno Omokri, Deji Adeyanju, Keyamo and co are nothing but pro establishment characters masquerading as pro democrats. Who knows how many innocent people they might have lured into harmsway with their chameleonic lifestyles.

Now we have the likes of tonyebarcanista too. Dude started here as a preacher against the evils of the government but has now turned into partizan scoundrel running errands for the most corrupt in the society. No class, No shame! Just a wreckless pursuit of dirty naira notes! Spits... This country is strange! For a population of over 200 million, there was only one Gani Fawhenmi! Tells you a lot about the fighting spirit of this generation.

That's their stock in trade. It's what they mean when they say they have structure.

These people are desperate

Freethinker87:

They have structure of lies

Freethinker87:
The PDP and APC have formed a merger in their campaign of falsehood against the Labour Party Presidential candidate, Peter Obi. A member of the Poverty Distributing Party (PDP) @TonyeBarcanista recently created a thread with the sole aim of misinforming the public. TonyeBarcanista, a low-budget Lai Mohammed cut his teeth under the tutelage of a master who mastered the ancient art of lying with a straight face. But God willing, we will continue to counter their misinformation with the truth. The days of misleading the public with cut-and-join videos are long gone.

Omo! You good

Nairaland is working against Peter Obi, and they are doing so very openly.

It's not easy defeating a determined people

Arise crew also challenges Tinubu to grant a live interview.

Did Tinubu accept the challenge? No! The man can't stand such mental rigor.

Nna mehnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

NL moderators are just hopeless hypocrites

GuyWise101:
Nna mehnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Fake news sells faster nah

Tonyebarcanista is shameless...can't believe I once admired his thought process.

H.E Peter Obi is better than all the presidential aspirants in this election. The solution he present are not a product of mental analysis only but of both research, feasibility studies, methodology and mental analysis of processed data.

This guy is ready to lead Nigeria.

Imagine an aspirant, going to the prison to find out why the people committed the crime so he could find a solution to stop them from committing the crime next time and preventing others from committing the crime in the first place?

Who has ever carried out such study as a leader in Nigeria.

This man is the real deal

Hunger is the problem. If our economy improve and people can easily get jobs and switch jobs like in developed countries. All these will stop.

Till that happens, the likes of them will continue selling themselves for a bowel of agbado.

Just look at FFK and his colleagues in APC. These are men who once swore not to have anything to do with APC.

Hunger is the most potent weapon against a person

Tonye once said he was leaving Nairaland for good. He went to Twitter and was blasting Nairaland every day, only for him to return to his vomit several months later. Amazing guy!
