I'm back, after a long time of being away from Nairaland due to some special assignments that were assigned to me to carry out outside the shores of Africa, I noticed that many things have changed on the forum.

Now, back to the topic;

Nigeria my country should wake up and invest in education and other critical sectors like health, labour and employment, etc.

This should be a wakeup call and all tribal inclination to this honest call should be discouraged in its entirety.
Just admit you were in jail. Is there any place abroad without internet?

You must just have realized this in desperation to say something because if you had known this you wouldn't have spent 8myears as governor of Anambra state and didn't build a single school. You didn't build nursery, primary, secondary and university for 8 years.

Can some or all of his "intelligent" supporters fact check how many schools were built in Bangladesh within 2007 and 2014 when Peter Obi was governor of Anambra state?

Don't count the exam malpractices centers he setup to cheat on exams.

Peter Obi never comments or donate any money to assist Abia state university, seen the condition of there hostel. Not even a comment.

Always nonsense comparison,

Peter Obi knows everything about the problems of Nigeria and has practical, simple and logical solutions for them.
Look at the way he articulated all his points in an organized manner.
He understands the sequence of applications and the expected results. This is what it means to be visionary; his brain is always active, constantly running in simulation mode. No wonder he’s a billionaire without corruption money....a worthy role model for younger generations who are now lost in the erroneous belief that the only path to riches is through criminal activity and the theft of public funds as exemplified by the current charlatan occupying the office of the president. Then there are the brainless bigots who have been programmed to suffer under captivity, bound by tribal sentiments.


Nigeria is too blessed to be broken.
With our wealth of natural and human resources, Nigerians should have no business with poverty, insecurity, hunger or hopelessness.

But for too long, we’ve left our future in the hands of those who see politics as a means to undeserved riches not a responsibility.
That ends now with Peter Obi.
Why didn't he do all what is stated here in Anambra when he was governor. Or was he not in his right sense then?

If you can't do something while gaving small circle or space.

You can't do when you get a bigger circle.

So if he can't do it when he was state governor, then he can't do it as a preaident, simple.

According to Anambrarians, PO is God sent and it's obvious with our votes, you can go and die grin grin
If SE sees him the way you think, you wouldn't be calling SE bigot by looking at the election results against tinubu.
Bring Rochas okorocha or Orji Uzo Kalu and see if he will get 30% of SE votes. It shows the PO is accepted smiley

So, Peter Obi just woke up to the realization that education is important and key to nation building? While the man was a governor, it was on record that he did nothing to sustain, add nor improve educational system nor funding in his State. But now because, he is looking for votes, he will lie just for gullible people to have pity for him. Mtscheeww

Danisaint112:
If your grandpa left over 20 schools for you which needs renovation as an inheritance. Will you use the scarce funds you have to go build new ones (about 10 again) or fix the old one and make them standard?

Please answer this. Or else shame on you and your cheap propaganda.
If my Grandpa left 20 schools that are in need of repairs, I will definitely repair those and then build new ones because the 20 that he left are not sufficient to serve the people of Anambra.
I won't just be talking cheaply if I were to be Obi; I would have implemented a lot of the noise / cheap propaganda he's blabbing now.
Your antecedents and records are more important to know your capacity than mere cheap talk and promises.

Not true. All they want is for Nigeria to remain in the old dark ways that benefits a few of them against the majority of Nigerians

Exactly!

His strategic investment in Anambra State University can be seen by all.

Clown!

Same with Lagos state! Huge debts, IGR and FG allocation, but it’s state university slightly better than a cattle ranch. Primary education is even a no go AREA.

Majority of Nigerians are still not wise. They still fall for all the sweet talks on these politicians. Ask them were they implemented such vision while in power and you will start hearing stories.

No state Governor or President in the last 50 years has strategically invested in education. None!
But should we not find a lasting solution to this?

We are breeding a generation that sees learning as outdated and we are happy and attacking a man that has seen life

I wondered how Nigeria will look like in years to come sef

As Anambra state governor, what was state and status of Anambra state University, egbarim then? He couldn't even complete the Anambra state University Teaching Hospital at Awka.

No good hostel, no good Lecture Hall etc.

Your antecedents and records are more important to know your capacity than mere cheap talk and promises.
Listen up, my friend, your analogy about Grandpa’s 20 schools and your dismissal of Peter Obi’s record as “cheap talk” is about to get dismantled with cold, hard facts. You’re out here acting like building new schools is the only measure of educational progress, but you’re missing the bigger picture—big time. Let’s school you on what Obi actually did in Anambra and why your critique is more noise than substance.

First off, you claim Obi should’ve built new schools because 20 weren’t enough. Newsflash: Anambra didn’t have just 20 schools—it had schools in every community or nearby, as you’ve been told.

Obi didn’t build new ones from scratch, true, but he renovated and upgraded over 1,000 schools across the state. That’s right, over a thousand—not the “less than 50” you might’ve heard as examples. His administration poured N5.7 billion into rehabilitating public and mission schools, equipping them with 23,000 computers, 420 generators, 400 buses, and modern labs and libraries.

This wasn’t cosmetic patching; it was a massive overhaul that transformed crumbling infrastructure into functional learning environments. So, before you talk about “repairing Grandpa’s schools,” recognize the scale of Obi’s work—1,000+ schools revitalized is no small feat.

Second, you’re hung up on new buildings, but let’s talk results. Obi didn’t build new schools, yet under his leadership, Anambra went from 26th to 1st in national NECO and WAEC rankings, achieving the best educational improvement nationwide. That’s not “cheap propaganda”—that’s measurable impact. Schools weren’t just fixed; teachers were trained, students got better resources, and the entire education system was elevated.

The effects? Still felt today, with Anambra maintaining a strong educational reputation. You think building a few new schools would’ve done that? Obi’s strategic choice to fix existing infrastructure maximized scarce funds and delivered results that new construction might not have. Your Grandpa’s 20 schools analogy falls flat when you consider the systemic transformation Obi pulled off.

And let’s address your “cheap talk” jab. Obi’s record isn’t promises—it’s antecedents, the very thing you claim to value. He returned mission schools to their owners (churches), gave them billions to restore their glory, and backed it with data-driven policies. Anambra’s education leap wasn’t an accident; it was the result of a leader who prioritized impact over flashy projects.

If you were in Obi’s shoes, you say you’d have “implemented” more than noise. But what’s noisier than dismissing a proven track record to push a narrative? Obi’s results—1,000+ schools upgraded, top national rankings—speak louder than your hypothetical boasts.

Here’s the kicker: building new schools sounds nice, but when every community already has schools, and they’re in shambles, renovation is smarter. Obi didn’t waste funds on vanity projects; he fixed what was broken and made it world-class. If you think that’s “blabbing,” try explaining why Anambra’s education soared without a single new school built. Go ahead, we’ll wait.

In short, your argument is like criticizing a chef for not planting new crops when he turned a rundown kitchen into a Michelin-star restaurant. Peter Obi’s legacy in Anambra’s education is ironclad: over 1,000 schools renovated, unprecedented academic success, and a system still reaping benefits today. Next time, check the facts before swinging. This debate? Done and dusted.
