If hypocrisy was a person lol

the last time I checked Desmond Eliot is an elected house member

I guise obi is your president probably your constituency representative

In as much as obi does not hold any elective position, whatever suits him he should give to the society

If he gives more than that, it's this same people that we cry out where he gets the money from.

You are the most hypocrite here

Obi wey no dey give shishi don dey start to sink boreholes. Tinubu don dey open his eye to politics. See why I said Obi is still learning politics. He would have messed up if he had won.

Ttalk:
If building a borehole qualifies you to become a president, what qualifies you to become a. Councillor.

If you get the correct answer you stand a chance to win a price

To even think building of boreholes is a qualification makes you unintelligent, You are obviously ignorant of who Peter Obi is.

tollyboy5:
I've said it several times. Peter obi is just a regular politician but some of his fans just want to insult my intelligence.

*He was the first gubernatorial candidate in Nigeria to legally challenge to its logical conclusion, his governorship electoral victory that was denied him. He won in the Courts and reclaimed his mandate.

*He was the first Governor in Nigeria to legally challenge his wrongful impeachment and was reinstated by the Courts.

*He was the first Governor in Nigeria to seek the interpretation of tenures of Governors when INEC allowed elections to take place in Anambra State when his tenure had not expired; the election already concluded was cancelled and he was allowed to complete his tenure.

*He was the first Governor to serve a 2nd term in both the new and old Anambra State, that is, almost 40 years after creation of the State.

*He was the first Governor, whilst still in Office, to be appointed a Special Adviser to the President.

*He was the first serving Governor to be appointed into the Presidential Economic Management Team.

*He was among the first Governors to be honoured with a National Award in 2011, while still in office.

*Though the only Governor whose political party was in government in only one State, he was elected Vice-Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum twice.

*Though the only non-PDP Governor in the South-East (made up of 5 States), he was elected by the other 4 PDP Governors as their Chairman for 8 years rather than the usual one year.

FUNDAMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE (PARTIAL LISTING)

1. Anambra was the first State to commence Sub-Sovereign Wealth savings, the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. At a time many other Governors were leaving huge debts, I left the equivalent of $500 million Dollars in investment as well as local and foreign currency, including $156 million in Dollar-denominated bonds.

2. For the first time in the history of Anambra State, Ambassadors and High Commissioners of notable countries such as United States, Britain, Russia, European Union, South Africa, Belgium, Israel, the Netherlands, Canada, among others, visited the State. Before my tenure, Anambra was practically a pariah state blacklisted by the Diplomatic Corps and international development partners.

3. Development partners such as UNDP, UNICEF, the World Bank, DFID, the European Union etc., which hitherto were not in Anambra State started working with the State. Anambra was consistently adjudged one of the best states in development partnership and commitment to reforms for good governance.

4. He was recognised as Best Governor by the Millennium Development Goals Office (OSSAP-MDGs) and the UNDP in the implementation of their programmes in Nigeria.

5. The Nigerian Debt Management Office (DMO) rated Anambra as the least indebted state in Nigeria. In spite of visible and measurable achievements recorded in various sectors, the State under him did not borrow or raise bonds for her various projects.

6. The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria rated Anambra State as the most financially stable state in the country.

7. The State's ground-breaking return of schools to their original owners - Voluntary Agencies (Churches) on 1st January 2009, and subsequent partnership with the Agencies in Education, saw the State move from 24th position out of 36 States to Number One in National Examination Council (NECO) and West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations for three consecutive years. This made the World Bank to commission a study, led by the renowned Prof. Paul Collier of Oxford University, on this revolutionary partnership and phenomenal achievement.

8. The State also entered into strategic partnership with the Churches in the Health sector. This symbiotic relationship resulted in a tremendous boost to health care because of the services offered by health institutions owned by Voluntary Agencies, while the State restored grants to the agencies and made available to them more than 50 million Dollars in various types of support.

10. Through partnership with the Church in the Health sector, his Government funded the transformation of -:

a: Iyienu Hospital, Ogidi;
b: Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala;
c: St Charles Borromeo Hospital, Onitsha;
d: Holy Rosary Hospital, Waterside, Onitsha; and
e: St. Joseph Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu.
His Government also built the Joseph Nwilo Heart Centre in St. Joseph, Adazi-Nnukwu, where heart operations are now being performed.

11. His Government won the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (1 Million dollars) as the best-performing state in immunisation in the South-East. With complementary funding from our Government, they used the money to build 10 Maternal and Child Care Centres across the State, particularly in rural communities, in partnership with the Churches.

12. The State was the first to procure and distribute more than 30,000 computers to secondary schools, including 22,500 from HP. The Managing Director for Personal Systems Group HP Inc, Mr. FabriceCampoy described the deployment as the biggest of such projects in the Middle-East and Africa.

13. Anambra State Government provided Microsoft Academies to more than 500 secondary schools, which the Head of Microsoft in Nigeria (Mr. Ken Span) described as the biggest such deployment in Africa so far.

14. The State provided Internet access to more than 500 secondary schools, which the CEO of Galaxy Backbone (Mr. Gerald Ilukwe) characterized as incomparable to any in the country.

15. More than 700 buses were provided to secondary schools in the State by our Government.

16. Boreholes were provided in schools all over the State.

17. Numerous classrooms were built in all the 177 communities of the State.

18 As part of the efforts to turn around the economy of the State, a number of companies were attracted to build their facilities in the Anambra State. A case in point is SABMiller, the 2nd largest brewery in the world, which built their first Green Field facility in the State, which is today one of the most successful facilities they operate globally.

19. A number of other companies followed the SABMiller initiative and were all supported and encouraged under our Government; a good example is INNOSON Motor Manufacturing Company, from which our government bought more than 1,000 vehicles.

20. Anambra State for the first time started close collaboration with recognized government security agencies (the Police, Army, Navy, Department of State Security, Civil Defence, among others), offering them various types of support including provision of more than 500 security vehicles. The improvement in security was phenomenal, such that the former IG of Police (Abubakar Mohammed) lauded Anambra State for not witnessing any bank robbery in my last three years in office.

21. To further enhance security, Anambra State provided at least one security vehicle to each of all the 177 communities in the State as well as various organizations such as markets and Churches.

22. His Administration conceived and built, from scratch, the first state-owned Teaching Hospital, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu teaching Hospital, Awka.

23. His Government commenced the planned development of the Igbariam Campus of the ChukwuemekaOdumegwu-Ojukwu University, including the fencing, construction of internal roads, electrification, construction of the Faculty of Law, Auditorium, Administrative Block, Faculty of Agriculture, Management Building, among others).

24. His Government attracted the World Bank support on erosion - National Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) - to Anambra State.

25. His Government was the first to do Poverty Mapping in Nigeria, as a guide for the effective implementation of our poverty-alleviation strategies.

26 His Government, for the first time, undertook the aerial mapping of Awka as well as the production of Structure Plans for Awka Capital Territory, Onitsha and Nnewi.

27. During his tenure and with his Government's support, Anambra State became an oil producing State.

28. He built the first Secretariat Complex to house State Government Ministries that were hitherto scattered around the State.

29. His government commenced the development of the 'Three Arms Zone' comprising Government House/Governor’s Lodge, Legislative Building/Speakers Residence, and Judiciary Building with Chief Judge’s Residence.

30. By the end of his tenure in 2014, more than twelve (12) health institutions, including two hospitals, had secured accreditation; when we took off in 2006, no health institution in Anambra State was duly accredited.

31. Anambra State was the first to undergo national peer review, which scrutinised State Governments for good governance, through the State Peer Review Mechanism (SPRM), an initiative of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum in collaboration with the DFID..

TAKE AWAY:

1. He ran the most secured state in Nigeria during his tenure. Former IGP Abubarkar gave him 5 years accollades of the most secured state back to back for 5 years.

2. The minister of works then gave him the best accolade of a governor that built 800km of road network in 8years

3. Educationally , He met Anambra at 26th position in 2006 and left it at 1st by 2014 when he was leaving.

4. He was the only governor that met the millennium development goal in Nigeria in both education and health. In fact , Milinda and bill gate foundation gave him a personal gift of 1 million dollar for his achievement. Which he dropped in the state account rather than putting in his own private account.

5. He is the only former governor today that does not collect pension, gratuity, land gift and allowances since he left the govt in 2014.

6. When he became SEC chairman under President Jonathan, he told SEC to hold back all his allowance and entitlement as a Board chairman . He left without nothing. He said he does not need them.

When he was chairman of fidelity bank , he was entitled to two brand new cars annually. He told the board. I don't need them. Let me just come for meetings and go home.

You can only be angry with him. You cannot change the facts.

Is peter Obi elected House of Rep member like Desmond or he is doing charity for ppl from his own pocket ?

Ttalk:
If building a borehole qualifies you to become a president, what qualifies you to become a. Councillor.

If you get the correct answer you stand a chance to win a price

Wow
Even now his not in any position he has done more than any government officials .

Peter Obi is using the money he stole from Anambra people. Private funds indeed.

Ofunaofu:
Desmond Elliott is executing these projects with a constituency allowance government funding.

Peter Obi is doing his with private funds.

So what is the basis for this comparison? Besides, when Desmond Elliott built those things and was criticized, was there anything called Obidients?

Honestly, I never knew that Tinubu minions were this senseless.

Max24:
Obi wey no dey give shishi don dey start to sink boreholes. Tinubu don dey open his eye to politics. See why I said Obi is still learning politics. He would have messed up if he had won.

politics and governance is different u idiot

tinubu knows how to play dirty politics and always have his ways because of the rubbish country that allows it.

Your brain have not matured enough to tell you Peter Obi built with his own money while Desmond Elliot built his with your money (tax) "constituency project"

You aren't obedient, just shut it

blancsn1:
Funded not from personal fund but from relentless looting of Anambra coffers for 8 rock solid years.

I am obidient but it is a shame that this is the best Peter Obi can offer those communities while ordinary youth corper who never held political position are doing borehole times 10 beta. Peter Obi deserve to be stoned to death foe this foolish project tarnishing his already battered image.

Tommydare:
Peter Obi is using the money he stole from Anambra people. Private funds indeed.

so he is using money looted in anambra to sink boreholes in far away north
this man must love the north so much.

u people are completely stupid.

ozuor

Tommydare:

He stole from the Anambra people, and he is yet to get an invitation from the EFCC after leaving office about a decade ago.

Please look for something else to say, dare

You are the real illiterate who is supporting a serial party defector and a man who performed woefully in Anambra State for 8years because of tribalism. Your fake messaih Obingo is a failure in all ramifications.

Peter Obi is not using government money bUT eddiot using government to construct rubbish 😂

Tinubu and APC support are bunch of clown.

Ani oru ti o mu yi, ti yò ópòló yin

If hypocrisy was a person lol

is Peter obi in government?

someone is doing something for Northern Nigerian communities and other regions from his personal pocket and these shameless agbadorians are comparing it with Desmond who is collecting money for constituency projects and doing rubbish.

Clowns

What sort of lame comparison is that

How do you compare a project executed by an individual who is not holding any public office let alone getting allocation for such projects and another who is executing a constituency project being allocated and funded from the government's coffers??

Truly, the comparer has proven the popular saying that English is not a measure of intelligence and sound argument.

helinues:
Don't let me report you.

Dey your lane

Fvck off.

tollyboy5:


If hypocrisy was a person lol

They are now comparing a private citizen to a lawmaker. This is how you know people with ulterior motives

Peter Obi is a regular citizen, a non-elected official....!

Desmond Elliott is an elected public official who actually gets paid to do these things for his constituency.


I will assume Op (tollyboy5) doesn't know the clear and obvious distinction between these, and spare him a well deserved dressing down.


Don't be in such a haste to insult people better than you are in life... Try get sense first.

dont u guys have any other thing against this man apart from sharing opposition comment on nairaland?

there are alot of projects obi did in anambra that till today anambra people still regards him as the best governor they ever had

but one man from ekiti and oshogbo that have never crossed ore is on nairaland displaying his foolishness thinking he is doing anybody.

the fact that most of the people attacking obi are only from a particular region and from APC makes all ur propagandas worthless

Till today know one can show us Peter Obi legacy project

Obi is not the cause of your hardship. This is someone who used his personal money to help humanity and you are wailing more than a bereaved. Tell your senators and Assembly members who collect constituency allowance to show us better projects. Abeg stop wailing, enjoy the hardship

Make una no go provoke Obidients call up pix of various hundreds of millions of Naira Mr Peter Obi donated at schools, health centres, various personally sponsored projects across Northern & Southern Nigeria, Churches, Mosques, Islamic Training Centres, et al!

These comparisons make Mr Peter Obi's critics look Sooo stupid.

The grave problem with these stupid critics is while they're mocking Mr Peter Obi's charitable foundations, while they choose & pick the projects to mock, those who have benefitted or are benefitting from Mr Peter Obi's interventions, they're pouring curses on those critics for daring to criticise someone who remembered and remembers the poor and the vulnerable in the society... Water no get enemy...

tollyboy5:


If hypocrisy was a person lol

Did Peter obi collect money for constituency project?

Is Peter obi representing any state in the north?

Didn't you see him donating N10M-N15M to hospitals since last yr?

How many bore holes have u commissioned and built?

You Tinubu supporters are too damn stupid, so daft and imbecilic..

Focus on the theiving drug lord imbecilic frog u selected as president.... Leave obi alone.

Desmond Idiot is in Government, but PeterObi is not.Using personal money to and Government funds is different
