Haaaa make una fear God with these lies wey una dey peddle. Even the pictures don't add up you have prince Charles and Diana's wedding picture in 1994 when they clearly married in1981.

So,Is Our P.Obi Now praising IBB
Or what is he driving at?
Or did you benefits from his rule?
In fact, for the Annulments of the June 12, Elections in 1993,No Amount of What IBB did, economically- for 8 years matters again - if Obi can't look holistically,that is too bad!😔
So,what is all this pretending about?
Obi pretentious is an overbloat!
I will never support this,so we moved!
I dislike People who are not Straight forward ⏩!
Kiss the TRUTH!
Was standard of living under IBB not better than now?

Nigeria economy has seen a boom since the return of civilian rule. Nigeria’s GDP has grown six-fold since 1999, according to World Bank data. In 1999, despite its vast oil wealth, Nigeria’s GDP was a mere $59bn. That figure skyrocketed to over $400 bn by the end of 2025.

Under the military, press freedom was severely restricted. Whistleblowers faced detention and possibly torture in custody, eg Dele guwa.

Today, Nigeria has a vibrant media with the country also hosting bureaus for some of the world’s major media groups.

I don't want to talk of independent of the judiciary, our electoral reform, etc

it's on record that it was ibb that lay the foundation for what is called Boko Haram today, he singlehandedly register Nigeria as an Islamic state.
Oga stop saying rubbish. The standard of living during IBB's time is far better than now.

Nigeria is better under Gowon when compared to how Nigeria was under IBB. Nigeria under Muritala, Obasanjo regime and Shagari is better when compared to Nigeria under IBB. Nigeria under IBB is better when compared to Nigeria under GEJ

Is ojukwu now obi? Or is obi that told ojukwu to make that statement

The leading people that were shouting "babangida must go " allegedly fighting for their master abiola in 1993, that eventually killed him, they were all present at the event

In other words, IBB is a better leader for Nigeria than those who have held power since and those in power currently inside medulla oblongata of Pitobi right?
IBB will remain devil to good Nigerians forever. We can't forget how he destroyed hopes of many people and lead the era of corruption in public offices which has increased till date. I believe this is Pitobi's mentor and a big reason his Aso Rock attempt won't see the light of the day.

Why not blame atiku who didn't see the need to recognise its time for a southern president or wike who worked directly for apc/tinubu andagainst his party pdp? instead it's Peter Obi that's ur problem?
Re: Peter Obi: Nigeria Worse Than It Was During Babangida’s Era by lereinter(m): 5:59pm On Feb 21, 2025
Not actually correct or false

But reason I will not argue him much, is during ibb time it was military rule, while now it's democracy

And if this is the outcome of democracy in nigeria then, then obi has a point

Obi is a surreptitious fellow. Was there anytime Nigeria was better? Check past leaders and economic indices during their time and tell me if things were better than the previous era.

They are just displaying a disgraceful show of tribalism, which in my opinion is Nigeria's biggest hinderance to getting quality leadership.

Pandora Bitters is Soludo’s and Wike’s problem.

2023: PDP and politics of healing Wike’s self-inflicted injury

Then, the race began in earnest for three years now, reaching a frenzy with the works of the two PDP committees on zoning. The first was the Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi committee on the zoning of the PDP party offices. The Ugwuanyi committee quickly told the world the committee’s assignment did not cover zoning the office of the president. Though this was true, the question is: why didn’t the Ugwuanyi committee zone the PDP chairmanship to the North without aligning it to the divide that would produce the PDP presidential flag-bearer? The second committee headed by Gov Samuel Ortom of Benue state was specifically on the zoning of the presidential ticket and, with the votes of the representatives of all the 17 Southern states without any exception, the Committee unanimously recommended throwing open the PDP presidential ticket, which the PDP NEC simply upheld.

One thing irrefutably stands out – Wike shot himself in the leg. Here was a man who had an overarching influence on both committees but could not insist that the ticket be zoned South. Many had wondered why? The reason is also relatively in plain sight: the Southeast factor. As the clamour for zoning of the presidential ticket of the PDP to South reached its crescendo, many had pointed out the fact that though the PDP Constitution had prescribed zoning of the office of the president to be between North and South since the South-west and South-south had taken their turns in producing the president and the vice in this current dispensation in the persons of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, zoning this time around, should not just be to the South but the Southeast.

Atiku Abubakar went a step further by offering to step down from the race if it would be agreed that the touted zoning to the South would mean micro-zoning to the Southeast. Wike and the rest could not take the Atiku challenge maybe because Atiku would likely back Peter Obi, who was his vice-presidential running mate in 2019 and an ally. The prospects of Peter Obi picking the ticket if PDP zoned South was so real compelling Wike to go for an open contest, believing he could pick it up ahead of Atiku, Tambuwal and Bala Mohammed, given his large war chest.

Same way Nigeria is not looking anywhere close to the Lagos that your principal claimed to have singlehandedly built.
But he left a footprint which other governors now follows. What did obi leave. Lagos is not what it is yet your brothers keep trooping into Lagos on a daily. Some are now even running to Asaba no fall places. Imagine running from Anambra to Asaba. You think this is a tribal war, Obi is not even qualified to be a politician in the first place. Learn to hold your politician accountable for their inefficiencies.

Which election did Mr Gbajue refer to in his submission that elections in Nigeria doesn't reflect the will of the people? I hope it's not the 2023 election where he was beaten like a common criminal by the Jagaban of the universe
Obi at his age should know that SM popularity doesn't translate into acceptability in real life, even my 1 year old dog knows this. Truly, a fool at 40 is a fool forever grin

Ode! But if you were succeeded in your plans to pollute aso rock as the president, would you have said the same thing?

Obi’s Godfather the shameless idiot that left his people to die like pigs mentioned two things in his words when he was invited to kaduna by his slave masters, he said “Abiola declared himself GCFR”, then also said “Nothing like June 12”. He should be trialed for treason! And sentence to death.

Here we are , Abiola has GCFR to his name and June 12 is a national holiday.

But the idiot will forever be remembered as the greedy idiot that cowardly started what he could not finish!

Hello Mr talkative molue conductor called obi grigory you better go and live in that IBB era by reversing your life backward and shut da fu-ck ok.

I said keep quiet!!! You are too irritating...
Zombies are very loyal, you don't have to pay them, they will be zombies for free... before opening this thread I know Zombies will flood front page because they see almighty Peter Obi's name mentioned, We nairalanders already knows this and we know their names.

This is exactly why we refer to them as Zombies, did they say anything related to what Peter Obi said? No, Did Peter Obi lie that Nigeria is worse than when IBB was head of state? No....Is Nigeria better now compared to when IBB was in power? No.

Zombies disagree, they believe Nigeria is now a paradise and things are very cheap and the economy is booming in their empty skull.
