I don't understand don't other regions have billionaires. Tell your billionaires to donate to your region. Though he has favoured all regions.
TY Danjuma alone is richer than any richest Igbo man alive. Danjuma donates across the country without making noise or carrying camera around. He built the biggest private hospital in the SE.

Peter Obi can continue donating from his Pandora loot and he will still not be President. If he believes that he can bribe God with looted funds to make him President, he was deceived. He should make public the total amount in that hidden foreign account that the Pandora papers exposed and why he hid the money abroad under his daughter's name.
Show us your own donation na or you shut up for ever.

To answer your question, more of playing to the gallery and a little doze of desperation.

I threw a challenge one time like that to hoebidients. I asked them to show us any record of Obi donating or philanthropy
1: before he became governor
2: before 2019 after he left governorship seat
3: Betwen 2019 and 2022

They have not yet returned with any previous records. You can check, all of his donations started around 2022 or later when it became clear that he wanted to contest.

I really would have had no problem with him if and when he chooses to donate, since it is his money, but it is the act of claiming to be a 'cent' that he is not that irritates me.
Go and demand accountability to Tinubu not Obi. Is his money and not yours. He can give it to any one or place he chooses. You can only hold your elected leader accountable not a man doing philanthropy.

Wait fess..I am confused oh...
No one is holding Tinubu and h9us cronies accountable for wasteful spending, infact they are even in support of his selective yoruba appointment...but they are telling Peter Obi how to spend how own personal money....

Someone is doling out over half a billion to charity and would even give more from his personal pocket and they are attacking him..

I am confused

SW wouldn't vote him again. We gave him 50% vote and yet he rarely donates there.

Let me send some of the looted Anambra billions to us otherwise.... na OYO angry
Shut up South West gave him nothing. It was other region in South West that gave him the votes. And they will still vote for him again without your votes.

Ask Tinubu to give to SW then. He didn't owe anybody any explanation on how to do his philanthropy. We have more richer men in SW, how many of your people have they help? How many of your politicians have helped Igbo man? The one in Lagos was busy destroying Igbo property out of hatred.

Can you read at all? I guess SW is not a region of Nigeria to you and Yorubas are not human beings. It is great we live in an information age now where there is digital footprint of what public figures and leaders do.

Smart folks should make of the info below what they will which is indisputable proof of something very sinister and a sign of what is to come for misguided Obidient like Falz, Mr.Macaroni and Iyabo Ojo etal.

They should make what is shown below make sense if it is at all possible to do so.

The breakdown indicated Obi’s philanthropy extended to five geopolitical zones, with South-West excluded.

The donations were as follows: South-East: N415m, North-West: N60m, North-Central: N60m, South-South: N35m and North-East: N6m.

How about challenging acclaimed billionaires from your region to do half of what Obi has done for education and health from his own personal purse?

Lol someone that was a governor for 8 years is spending his personal money according to Obidients. 🤣

When you dont have data.
The community was able to raise data money for you today, you became a nuisance online.
SECDA:
All these tribal bigots will always find ways to talk and complain.

Mention any other philanthropist from the North or SW who has the same standing with Obi and then check which region they favor more.

You will find None.

Is this a joke, is PO representing the FG, its called personal donations made at his discretion.

They are not entitled to it. What have their own elite done for their region despite the largesse they v been receiving over the decades?
Re: Obi Defends ₦540 Million Donation Amid South East Bias Claims by 9jatriot(m): 12:17pm On Jul 31, 2025
If you read the last line of the message you quoted, you will see I already agree with you. With all due respect to Mr Lamba, who and what he chooses to do with his money is his business, except that he puts it in our faces by always going with camera to every single donation and also attempting to claim 'CENT Obi" while doing it.

If you want to donate like a politician, embrace it with full chest and not start pretending to be a monk.

Igbo-centric donations. His antecedents in the last election where he appointed Southeasterners as cordinators in other geopolitical zones precedes him. Hopefully he can amend his tribal prejudice going forward.

Best the truth be known so we stop the fake show of 'one Nigeria' unity, that is really a dog eat dog scramble for central commandeered of Nigeria's wealth by a few, to embrace what is shown below.
How is donating YOUR OWN MONEY the way you want it "wrongdoing"

The way the message was passed by that shameless fellow was deliberate, knowing that an average Nigerian does not think critically

It's just a shame

I am full blooded Yoruba man but due to my experience in Nigerian politics …it is when a Yoruba man is the President of the country there are more issues with Ethnicity issues…what is the original reason for that ??i Because i think We are the most vocal on it

Obi is a pathetic sore loser; he's also a tribal and religious bigot.

Anyone who denies this is living in a falsehood and also living the same lie as Obi.

If Nigeria makes the mistake of electing this man, that's when they will see the level of religious and tribal intolerance among the Igbos.

Agbadorians should demand accountability from the failure they voted in and leave Obi alone
Did Obi and his tribal supporters not vote in the ebilokan failure indirectly as well, with their 100% SE bloc?

jameshankss:
Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”

Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.

He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.

Obi is a very wise man he knows charity ought to begin at home these same haters will still be the ones that will be the first to mock him if he is only donating outside the south east.
