This one will soon Join APC

What did Obi say that is making government and those held under the government mental slavery go mad? That Nigeria has more poor people compared to China, India and Indonesia. In the 60s when Nigeria gained independence, it was doing better economically than these three nations. Surprisingly, i went in search of data to verify whether Obi lied as they claimed. I arrived at a conclusion from data from officials of Nigeria and around the world that using all means of measuring poverty, Nigeria has more poor people than China, Indonesia and India.
They shifted the debated immediately that Obi is not patriotic. Patriotism to them in acting like Tinubu and pretending that there is no poverty in Nigeria, acting like they have 24 hours electricity supply, acting as though if you go into medical emergency now, you can dial 911 and a well kitted medical ambulance will be at your door steps in 5 minutes. Nigerians and their government have turned here into a grave yard but they hate people who say it as it is.

The economic data presented by Pitobi are faulty because GDP per capita is a misleading metric, especially for developing countries like Nigeria. It fails to account for the local cost of living where one can survive well with just a dollar which is (N1.5K) more than in wealthier nations. It also masks income inequality, as high earnings by a small elite can distort the average, giving a false impression of widespread prosperity. Additionally, it overlooks the informal economy, which plays a massive role in everyday life and economic activity but isn't fully captured in official statistics. For real insight, analysts focus more on sectoral growth, consumer spending, trade, and employment data than this oversimplified figure.

The naira’s purchasing power parity (PPP) is stronger than it appears because essential goods and services in Nigeria like food, housing, and transport are low compared with the cost in Europe America or even our neighboring African countries. Don't forget the vibrant informal sector which also adds real economic value that isn't reflected in official exchange rates. Compared to many European countries, the naira offers better value-for-money, making everyday expenses more affordable despite its weaker nominal exchange rate.

Truth be told Obi is not a smart politician….

I have noticed that whatever Obi says… either good or bad it must be constructed in a way to masturbate on …. And he will loose followers, fans and voters….

Peter obi should learn the act of silence…

Very soon probably before the end of today RENO will come out with his own insults against obi in form of freedom of speech

I have never been a supporter of Obi, but i think I am liking him more these days for speaking up.

A country with over 120 million people living below poverty line of about $2.7 per day is what you claim people survive with $1/#1500. Can you feed, transport, buy medication and pay your bills with #1500 per day.

From someone planning to rule this country, his presidency will be worse!

That is how opposition happen around the world. Oga didirin

So when apc were opposition. They did worst. Does that means they were demarketing nigeria

Showummi is now an informant with one leg in APC.

na wike group

Sowunmi wants to abandon Atiku the same way Okowa ran to APC, what's wrong with the data Obi gave above

Aren't those countries doing better than us on all front?

We are always quick to blame others, sahel destabilization, Africa marginalization, Gadaffi's death, global warming etc to make excuses for our lack of foresight and corruption that is killing our nation

China, Vietnam and Indonesia has challenges too, the west never gave them a chance but they succeeded against all odds

We should be ashamed of ourselves!

Britishpea:
Peter Obi is never a leader. He doesn’t posses the qualities. I just wonder why many are carried away with his pretense. No matter what a good leader won’t remarks his country on a foreign land.

America has so much rots but they won’t talk about it. They even go far in making the best part of it in movies for us to watch in order to buy into their standards

You that supported Tinubu and Buhari know the quality of a good leader?

coolhearted33:
So this one that has collected money want Obo to market Nigeria to the world that things are good therei wish you know how they treat Nigerians outside the country especially if you are carrying the green passport you will be treated like an animal ….Obi doesn’t need to market or demarket..::the whole world knows the shits going on in Nigeria so don’t expect a reputable man like Obi to tell lies like you always do for peanuts

His own people are the majority of Nigerians that makes the outside world to treat Nigerians badly, the number of his people in prisons all over the world especially asia especially south Asia are mind burgling.

PDP by day, APC by night.

Same with that Makinde fellow

ChiefOloye:
Wait for them, they will either accuse Showumi of wanting decamp to APC or supporting Tinubu, because he's a Ronu, even both, because he corrected the empty brain pitobi

and Who is showunmi for Nigerians to care, where he decides to shook his head

The lastest report from world bank and ImF to Nig govt about how Tpain reform policies have plunge more people below poverty line is it Peter Obi that leaked to Imf

We live in a global world, everything Tinubu is doing punishing Nigerians what makes anyone think the outside world are not seeing it

There is something called world rating, with or without Peter obi, wont these bodies do there research or howelse does it work

SOE for river political crisis But clueless over bandit killings in NC,.. what good as Tinubu don for sane Nigerians to market

Atiku should watch his back. Showunmi the APC mole in PDP is hereby expose. Tribalist.

coolhearted33:
Did all these Tínubu supporters think Nigerians has forgotten all did to get Goodluck Jonathan out of Aso rock ….we are just waiting because in time he will ask many questions to answer when he start his campaign for second term

Face the issue at hand and stop hiding underneath Ijaw man's wrapper, you are not South-South

When Peter Obi doles out these statistics, they say, 'Na Statistics we go chop?' But these data are readily available for everyone to see. As for Showumi, his criticism looks suspicious. Reno Omokri started like that until he got the attention of the APC, the ruling party. Boom! He quietly ditched Atiku and switched side.

you are lying americans speak on their issues without hindrance on whatever platform they chose

People like Showumi are the real enemies of Nigeria. They think that loving your country is all about stealing the resources and common wealth that belong to the masses.
Every rats and lizards now attack the voice of the truth at a slightest chance in the name of looking for an appointment in this administration

Showunmi...!

A good product can't be demarketed!

...And no amount of branding and packaging can turn excrement into Ewa Agoyin.


If you guys spent more time working to better Nigerian rather than following and responding to everything Peter Obi does, Nigeria would be way better than it is today.


South Africa was our junior in all ramifications... Today, they are miles ahead, and better respected abroad.

Top nations didn't get there by packaging and lying about the true states of their nations... They made their nations so good that investments flowed in all over.

Obioma the tailor!


Obi don get new name

With due respect Mr man, please keep quiet! We are done listening to the likes of you. How do you demarket something whose only value to people like you is something to pillage and plunder. The problems of Nigeria are not hard to fix. You lot are simply not interested. Thieves!

Which Nigeria

Imagine someone saying PO is demarketing Nigeria? Look at Nigeria what is happening. Yes, no country is perfect but what is happening in Nigeria by our leaders is demarketing already. Look at UAE where is the demarketing because the leaders have not given reason for such. Blame your principal not PO. Did he lie? If not tell you president and leaders to change

Itibolibo

LadyExcellency:
Who is begging to be Nigerian? A failed entity. We were forced to belong hence no apology. We have a native homeland in Eastern Niger. Indigenous and free people.

So what you are saying is that running the country down is a deliberate exit strategy?
