Peter Obi touched the tiger's tail and surely was bitten so bad.



-Kiss the truth!

Same dude who bought a container of strange Indonesian outfits will he had done his best in Anambra and the professor can do his own.

What are his best? He cannot point out to anything meaningful beyond building a brewery and bringing a president to commission it.

Nnewi can fabricate anything. Give them power and set up a logistics company. Give those boys any specification, they'd fabricate it for you. Then use your logistics company to deliver. If you can't do it, get your friends to fund it and support them so it becomes a private enterprise. But no, you mismanaged the smallest state in Nigeria and want us to give you Nigeria to run by mouthing stale buzzwords like "consumption to production". Apart from beer, what else did you help tour state produce? If you were so good as governor, how come Anambra billionaires made their money outside Anambra, including you?

Now ask him how to address poverty, he'd say as follows:

"Very good question. I just came here from the prison. If you want, I can take you with me next time. When I got to the prison, the prisoners knew I came to talk to them. Rufai, go and ask what I studied. I studied Market to-Market Marketing in Havard. I am a marketer, a distributor. I trade. To tackle poverty, we must remove tollgates. If my wife and children are not corrupt, we have solved poverty".

His gang would then say:

"Nigeria deserves this man. He has so much potential in understanding the problems".

Obi?
Visionary leader?

Soludo has made it his mission to constantly attack and discredit his predecessor, Mr. Peter Obi, at every opportunity. His relentless vendetta against Obi has gone beyond healthy political disagreement and has descended into outright lies and deliberate misinformation.



Soludo’s False Poverty Claims Against Peter Obi

No worry yourself! U killed it all!!! Over

One of Soludo’s most blatant lies was his claim that poverty in Anambra State doubled under Peter Obi’s administration. This assertion is not only false but also easily disproven by data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), during Obi’s tenure. Lagos under Tinubu had 69.4% poverty rate while Anambra had 53.7% under Peter Obi. But Soludo thinks 69.4% poverty rate is better than 53.7%, hence he keeps praising Tinubu who has even made Nigerians poorer since he was sworn in 2023 as Nigerian president. Soludo, as an economist and professor, knows better than to peddle such falsehoods, but his desperation to tarnish Obi’s reputation has pushed him to abandon facts for propaganda.



Soludo’s Hypocrisy on Investments: The Beer Shares Controversy

Recently, Soludo again tried to ridicule Peter Obi’s investment strategy by mocking Anambra State’s shares in a beer company. He claimed that the beer industry has no potential, a shocking statement from someone who calls himself a professor.



One wonders: How did Soludo earn his professorship if he lacks basic knowledge of global investment trends? The beer industry is a multi-billion-dollar sector worldwide, employing millions and generating massive tax revenues. Even Bill Gates, one of the world’s smartest investors, holds shares in Heineken. If the investment was truly worthless, why hasn’t Soludo sold the state’s shares to the person offering to buy them? His hypocrisy is glaring.



The Real Reason Behind Soludo’s Attacks: Political Sycophancy

Soludo’s obsession with attacking Peter Obi is not driven by genuine concern for Anambra State but by his ambition to curry favor with President Bola Tinubu and the APC. His goal is simple: position himself as a loyal opposition voice in the South-East, hoping that Tinubu will reward him with a future presidential ticket.



However, history has shown that sycophants rarely reap lasting rewards. Soludo’s desperation to please Abuja at the expense of truth and good governance will only diminish his credibility. Anambra people and Nigerians at large are watching—they see through his lies and recognize Peter Obi’s legacy of prudence and development.



Soludo’s Mission Will Fail

Soludo’s hatred for Peter Obi is unhealthy and unbecoming of a leader. Instead of focusing on governance, he spends his time fabricating lies against Peter Obi. Unfortunately for Soludo, no amount of propaganda can erase Obi’s legacy.



At the end of the day, Soludo’s sycophancy will bear no fruit. History will remember Peter Obi as a visionary leader and Soludo as a bitter critic who traded his academic integrity for political opportunism.

Obiano performed far better than Obi.

Obi has no legacy project in Anambra.

Re: Soludo, Obi Clashed Amid Tinubu’s Anambra Visit by Empresa:
We all drink Heineken, guineas and other beers imported into the country. Having a brewery to raise IGR and create employment is not bad at all.

What has Soludo done to create employment and increase IGR.

Every Year politicians build road, flyovers and tax the people without creating wealth. Na road we go chop?

Nigerians love this hardship and they exalt corruption to the highest level, else how can you continue to vote a governor who only build road and flyover. Nigeria is beyond redemption.

This was the same person that his only legacy was a beer factory while Doctors were going on 13months strike. He could only consider beer good enough for the people of Anambra while building his NEXT mall in Abuja.

The same person buying 400 SUVs for traditional rulers while poverty rate was increasing from 27% to 53%. The worst Governor of Anambra ever.
Criticizing the building of a brewery shows how ignorant you guys are

Soludo is making the same mistakes southern leaders make, selling their brothers cheap to curry favour.
He will regret it the moment he dreams above his governorship position, by that time the same urchins cheering him now will remind him how his forebears wanted a separate country and how they can't trust he wouldn't divide Nigeria.
He should keep fooling for now, just like Wike.

Today, where is Rotimi Amaechi, Okoroocha, Joe Igbokwe, Ijele Speaks?

The moment you're against your own people, you become best thing since slice bread to your real enemies.
Obi started the rubbish and it was given to him. Obi is clueless. A pathological liar. He has nothing to offer anyone

You can't whitewash the dirty image of Peter Obi, it is too dirty. No amount of face saving can erase factss and propaganda. Governor Soludo talked with facts.
While digressing to Tinubu even makes Obi record appear worse because Obi met Poverty at 23% and he took it to 53%. And as we have asked you , can you tell us the data of poverty rate in Lagos in 1999 when Tinubu took over from the military?.
AI Overview


While specific 1999 data for Lagos' poverty rate is not readily available, a 2000 study by ActionAid Nigeria indicated that 60% of Nigerians were living in relative poverty. Additionally, a list of Nigerian states by poverty rate (likely from around the same period) shows Lagos with 3.8% at the $2.15 poverty line and 36.3% at the $3.65 poverty line, according to Wikipedia. These figures provide context for the general trend of poverty in Nigeria during this period, although they don't give a precise Lagos-specific number for 1999.

Obi met poverty rate at 23% from Ngige but he increased it to 57% before leaving. Tell us where Tinubu met it in Lagos when he took over from the military. That's when we can have this discussion but you will never be able to bring the facts. Your shame dey shame you.
Because NBS changed its rating approach. Are you saying Anambra had 23% poverty rate while Lagos had 65% at same time?

The thread is yours, the first comment is yours.
It shows idleness. This issue has cropped up in Nairaland and discussed extensively with people say their opinion.
But for reason of your idleness, you made it a new topic.
My response is this : Peter Obi is made, his family is comfortable too.
Soludo is fine with his family.
Stop wasting your life on them.
If two of them clash, it's a clash of the Elephant.
