Wee see fine and beautiful flyover all over Nigeria, but the opposite is what we see in Obi's anambra, it's backward, mediocre, absurd, substandard and an eyesore.

Imagine, a less than 1 year old flyover rubbish crumbled and they hire a bricklayer to do pash pash..

Only in Obi's Anambra..

So all politicians residing in Abuja says a lot about Gwari people?
Were you not the one mocking others and tagging them "olodo"?

I mentioned a region that is holistically Yoruba and u came at me with just one state that politically calls for heavy FG presence due to its status as FCT....they dont relate

In basic philosophy and even in statistics, Big Sample sizes are required to make deductions and there is no better way to draw an inference about the Yoruba character than using their Region which comprises of 6 states and millions of people from that tribe

Also, Immigration is a sign of progress and development for the host, cause people from diff tribes and languages wouldnt troop enmasse to sahara desert/hell....That justifies why the UK and the U.S have more people coming in than they do have their own citizens moving out

The SW is the U.S and the UK of nigeria in this context, either by low emigration rate or by being the industrial hub of the country...Again, their region and all of these say alot about Yoruba people

You know too little about alot of things

Obi has contributed more to south west GDP than any Tinubu business

International brewery factory in Ogun generate more employment than all Tinubu companies combined
Peter Obi doesn't have a kobo in brewery in Sagamu. After ploughing Anambra funds in the failed Anambra Brewery, the foreign investors pulled out and established the one in Sagamu.

So cause they have high IGR, then automatically everyone in that state should become multimillionaires? How do u guys think sef?
Your state with either lower or higher IGR has zero indigents among them, i guess

And why did u use ijebu as a case study, why not use wherever u come from as a point of reference?

Its baffling how non-indigenes are increasingly becoming worried about the SW so much that they use whatever is happening there as their point of reference

well...i think its fair to assume that the most educated among other tribes and ethnic groups reside in the SW...says alot about Yoruba people
You are too dull to comprehend what I wrote.
If higher IGR cannot translate to improved quality of life of the generators of the money, what then is the money used for?
My home state in the east is rated below Ogun state in iGR but low quality of life i witnessed in an LG headquarters in Ogun state is worrisome when compared with my low IGR state.

The question now is, is this normal?
Why the heavy burden of taxing people heavily when it won't used for the people?

Do you know that by making it EASIER for pedestrians to walk the streets on wide pavements unimpeded by sand and open gutters, and to even do window-shopping, or actual shopping, popping in from one shop to another along the pavement easily without stress, GREATLY INCREASES pedestrian traffic, and hence business activities on a street, thus boosting incomes?

If you take your busiest street today in Nnewi, and FIX IT like in that picture above, I can GUARANTEE you that trade will quadruple on that street.

Quintriple even.

GUARANTEED!

Meaning more income for traders and more tax revenues for govt.

You people don't use your sense.


Check out this busy street filled with shops.

Do you think all these people would be strolling like that there if there was an open gutter, sand, and mud there instead of a wide, clean pavement?

You can imagine how much those shops are making per day on that street.

Another big lie! Obi did not bring IBL to Nigeria. Obi only brought it to Anambra. This is what happens when you want to raise the profile of a nonentity, you start looking for means to lie.
Re: Peter Obi: Infrastructure Cannot Help The Economy. by Ingocof(m): 8:54am On May 24, 2023
Obi is just an option for the the Igbo, the motive is 'If we can't get Biafra then give us the president'.
The sincere ones among them know that Obi has nothing to offer this nation.

Mr man, stop talking rubbish, there's no HDI without infrastructure, HDI and quality of life start from infrastructure, schools, hospitals, roads, bridges, and so on.

See the chart below, see how infrastructures start the process from left and eventually formulate and migrate into HDI?

How do you even get to a good quality of life without infrastructure? Do you get quality of life without good roads, good schools, good hospitals and healthcare?

Infrastructure improves quality of life.

I don't know why you people are so lame and shallow in your thinking, sometimes it's like we are going back and forth with little elementary school children.

What are you talking about? HDI measures infrastructural development and levels as well.

There is no point in ethnic jingoism. The big “cities” of the East are a real eyesore. It’s shocking Aba and Onitsha look the way they do. Even animals are not supposed to live that way. Nobody will take you serious if you are hyping Nnewi and they arrive their and see what resembles a disorganized hamlet

Hopefully Otti changes this starting with Aba

See what a city that is about the same size as Orlu and Okigwe and much smaller than Umuahia or Nnewi looks like. Meanwhile all these places above resemble primitive villages

No federal government investment in Anambra?
What about FGGC onitsha, what about the teaching hospital in Onitsha..if you want to show us how awka and Onitsha are beautiful, don't forget it's the federal government expressway that you show us...and many federal government projects there.
Dey lie small small na
FGGC onitsha? Check all the competitions ,how many have you seen FGGC onitsha lead? Which teaching hospital in onitsha? FMC onitsha that they just upgraded last week without infrastructures. They are still using he old structures.
Federal govt expressway that was built with solely with Anambra money before fg gave back, except the one that is currently ongoing from umunze to Amansea...

Which other federal government projects in Anambra? NAUTH,FEDERAL SCRETARIAT,BARRACKS 2ND NAIJA BRIDGE.... All these things contributed little to the economy of Anambra....
Only Building materials Ogidi can defeat all the FG presence in anambra

East has only 20% FG presence as compared to other regions however east developed based on collective and resilient efforts of their people.

In the east here, families ,big men build and finance projects and handover to fg...

That’s a stupid statement. You develop infrastructure to build your HDI. Working on infrastructure creates jobs thereby improving the Human Development Index.

Obi is right. Nnewi economy is booming without the so called infrastructure. He is not saying that infrastructure is useless, what he is saying is that infrastructure alone cannot do it without human capital which is built through education
dnt mind the illiterates coated with bigotry, with all the buhari so called infrastructure did Nigerian economy improve from 2015-2023?

How someone would be arguing in ignorance with confidence

SAB miller acquired international brewery in 2016 and also constructed a new factory one of the largest if not the largest brewery in Nigeria
Ab inbev acquired sabmiller while the relationship between International brewery and Ab inbev is a "MERGER"
Ab inbev is from belgium it acquired sabmiller from south africa before coming to form a merger with International brewery in Nig in 2016. the relationship was necessitated for Ab inbev to penetrate the Nigeria market and international brewery have the needed distribution network nationwide they merged
International brewery retain ownership to there drinks while they distribute for AB inbev. sabmiller produces Hero beer, that is were Peter Obi invested Anambra funds


Most times you just argue blindly, you see every arguement as olympics you must win for igbos, makes you myopic all the time

Lol. Typical of MURIC people of the SW - dirty sharp tongue.

Except perhaps, Victoria Island, Lekki in Lagos state, no SW city is cleaner than Enugu, Abakaliki, Awka in the SE. Some of you don't even have enough finance to relocate from the SW region to know what is happening outside. But on Nl, you are champions of insult on the Igbo.

Even the cities of Okigwe and Orlu you mentioned were beautiful places until the APC you write for imposed a governor on Imo state. The governor abandoned the two cities because he doesn't come from them.

What low qulaity of life are u talking about
According to NBS, ogun is ranked among the top 8 states with least poor peeople in nigeria so it automatically stand high above your shiity state


What i would never understsand about u guys is how u choose to leave your paradise-esque state and then reside in the assumed Hell-fire region which is the SW according to u


If the indigenes dont wanna improve their own life, why not move to your own state that has everything since you have an option and then stop lamentiing here everyday about the SW

He told us severally that he's a trader..ie buying and selling ..He knows nothing about governance .
Success in buying and selling takes a lot. There is organization skills, inventory management, relationships management, humility, thrift etc. Don't just take it on the surface. Most so called leaders who appear on the stage are zero on these skills. PO is indeed successful in buying and selling.

Infrastructure can never improve ur economy is a fact especially,when u don't educate ur citizens they will use babanbola and destroy those Infrastructures.

Is that not why many iron dealers are stealing rail tracts,bride rails and so many other infrastructural problems because these guys are not educated enough to discern these facts.

Obi is more intelligent than Tinubu.
