Peter Obi donated to where he is loved more.
..Most of you are filled with bitterness and hatred, yet you want him to donate to your region so you can continue to spew rubbish about him.... He won't give you people Shi Shi...you all can continue ranting

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
Can you please give us details of the ethnicity issues during Obasanjo presidency.

Now, Yoruba eyes are starting to open to see, as some of us ihave long insisted, the hate isn't online alone as many used to tout years back.

I'd like someone to explain the bolded below coherently considering Obi has business interest and residence in the SW yet does not deem it fit to donate even 0.01% of his total philanthropic gifts to the region.

A clue of what is to come if he becomes President or his folks gain more foothold in SW political and public administration position.

No point telling those who are students of history that we have been seeing this since the days of Azikiwe, Charles Onyeama .
The people you’re trying hard to deceive, they’ve seen this donation in the SW in 2024 pictured below. Even if you talk from now till 2027, it won’t change their minds. Moreover, most of them will take Obi 24/7 over Tinubu.

Save your tears. Someone like David Hundeyin will not start supporting Tinubu because of a report like this. You’re simply wasting your time. You want someone else to fight your battles of hate against Igbos when they don’t harbor such hatred in them. It’s a waste of time

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.

-Kiss the truth!
And this is coming from hypocrites that always rant about how he favours foreigners over his people.

Tinubu wealthy, Obi wealthy, supporters who can’t afford a lifestyle, insult them, while they are living their dream, their kids living the life. Writing their names in the sands of time. Supporters with no better future in sight yet Rain curses on them. LIFE SHA.

Make money, so your kids won’t be like you in the future.

No one needs any shishi from the hypocrite. He should continue his labour in vain defence of the indefensible.

http://telegraphng.com/2013/06/anambra-distributes-177-vehicles-to-traditional-rulers/


[quote author=NLCreator post=126854133]Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, has defended the purchase of sports utility vehicles (SUVs) for members of the national assembly.

There have been reports that the leadership of the 10th National Assembly has bought SUVs for all lawmakers.

Each SUV is said to be valued at N160 million.

The LP had asked members of the party in the national assembly to kick against “wastage”.

While responding to questions during a press conference in Abuja on Monday, the former governor of Anambra said the SUVs are not personal cars of the lawmakers, noting that they are for official use.

“Let me start with the issue of Labour Party members in the house. I have actually discussed this issue with them,” Obi said.

“Surprisingly, I can tell you I heard that these vehicles are official cars. They have to use it. It is meant for office.

“So it is not as if it is their vehicle. They said it is official cars and you are meant to use it while you are in the senate.”

Obi also hinted at contesting for the country’s number one position in 2027, adding that Nigeria deserves dedicated and visionary leaders who will lead the country towards a brighter future.

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 stats are not true, Obi donated to a nursing school in Ibadan, it's on record, go and verify

He's donating from his personal funds as a known business man while Tinubu is stealing as a billionaire with no known business.

Yorubas crying about Obi philanthropy is something to study about.

You have a Tinubu who you voted as President and who infact controls states resources. Why not worry about him?

SHOW ONE SINGLE Yoruba who has ever done anything philanthropic for the Igbos or the East?

But I can show you how much this same Obi has donated in a nursing school in Yorubaland. I can also show you how much Igbos have donated in Lagos and other Yoruba lands.

Show me any what any Nigerian outside of the East has ever donated to the Igbos? Nothing

But I can show you billions more of what Igbos have done for the North and other Nigerians.

Tinubu supporters are funny. They want Peter Obi to use his personal fund to fund the budget of Nigeria.


I am waiting for them to say Obi gave his children Igbo names. That none of his children has Yoruba or Hausa name.
Don't talk like this. His donations really get irregularities

Gentledove2001:
Was he making these donations before, during, or after his time as governor of Anambra State? Or did all of this suddenly begin out of his desperation to become Nigeria’s president? Why does he always go around with a camera crew during these so-called donations?

Even the Bible says you shouldn’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing if you do, then your motive is questionable. This man lacks strategy, and his Obidient noise-makers won’t advise him properly. He keeps focusing his eye-service donations on a particular zone one that holds the least electoral value all in a bid to attract sympathy. But he forgets that elections aren’t won with emotions, they are won with strategy.

In 2027, what I want to hear from Obi, Atiku, and Tinubu is not more promises about turning Nigeria into Bangladesh in two years, but what they’ve actually done. Obi should show us the world-class hospitals and schools he built as a governor not fake donations just to look good. Mr. Desperado needs to be called out.
Stop making yourself a fool. This is Internet and it never forgets. USA as of now are checking people's sanity on the Internet world before giving out their Visa. Who knows what will happen tomorrow. A simple Google search about Obi's philanthropy would have saved you from this act of stupidity you displayed. Don't be like the TVC anchor (a lady) that called Obi a desperado just because he shared food at caritas event, only for TVC to televise the events clarifying that gesture of sharing food is part of the event. Grow up and discard this ethnic rancour

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.
You were making so much sense from the highlighted(aside the usually stale jab) until you intentionally went off tangent to justify your monthly stipend!

Okay, they said it's on a continuous basis so there's no need to feel left out yet. Great. Henceforth, when ipobs cry over marginalisation, let's tell them the regime has yet to come to its end and appointment is a continuous process. Theirs will eventually come.

Meanwhile, I personally don't give a damn who he donates his filthy Pandora monies. He can give it to only Agulu people for all I care.

Obi isn't president and he donating millions of his personal money to other regions. How much has tinubu or buhari donated from their personal money? undecided

Imagine Obidients using donations as an excuse for having brain...all our politicians are good at donating before getting into office. When you donate and make a big deal if it, it only shows your donations are not genuine..even the bible is clear about that. All na scope.

He has been making donations long before you were born, search the Internet before displaying your ignorance online.

See, keep this your d-e-l-usion in SE, the rest of Nigerians are smarter than that

How come zero naira went to the entire SW? and the money donated to the other 5 regions combined are less than what he donated to SE alone? Its a straightforward answer. No need for epistles cheesy
Your brother has lifted everyone out of poverty from the west after winning presidency.

He should be kind on an equal basis to the entire country he wants to rule as president.

His selective philanthropy indicates how he will govern to selectively favour the south east over the rest of Nigeria.
