If 2000 Nigeria have a business with 10,000 employees then 20 million nigerians will be employed. Only 2000 in a population of 200million.

That's the kind of country PO will run.

Aki and Pawpaw got national awards under Jonathan. If people who actually serve are not awarded then I don't know is more deserving.

I don taya for this noisemaker. Who else is tired lol. 😁

His main goal is just to keep his name in the news and give hope to his not-too-smart followers.

His all over the place and in most cases contradicting himself when you check his records.
The man lacks basic principles; he is just throwing everything at the wall and hoping that something sticks.
Typical behaviour of s desperate sore loser.

Kusu12:
A man who couldn't deliver in a small state like Anambra after 8 years, and whose only consistency is political opportunism, now claims he holds the magic wand to fix a complex nation like Nigeria overnight. What a joke!

He delivered beyond your widest imagination. See proof hereunder

FUNDAMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE (PARTIAL LISTING)

1. Anambra was the first State to commence Sub-Sovereign Wealth savings, the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. At a time many other Governors were leaving huge debts, I left the equivalent of $500 million Dollars in investment as well as local and foreign currency, including $156 million in Dollar-denominated bonds.

2. For the first time in the history of Anambra State, Ambassadors and High Commissioners of notable countries such as United Stated, Britain, Russia, European Union, South Africa, Belgium, Israel, the Netherlands, Canada, among others, visited the State. Before my tenure, Anambra was practically a pariah state blacklisted by the Diplomatic Corps and international development partners.

3. Development partners such as UNDP, UNICEF, the World Bank, DFID, the European Union etc., which hitherto were not in Anambra State started working with the State. Anambra was consistently adjudged one of the best states in development partnership and commitment to reforms for good governance.

4. He was recognised as Best Governor by the Millennium Development Goals Office (OSSAP-MDGs) and the UNDP in the implementation of their programmes in Nigeria.

5. The Nigerian Debt Management Office (DMO) rated Anambra as the least indebted state in Nigeria. In spite of visible and measurable achievements recorded in various sectors, the State under him did not borrow or raise bonds for her various projects.

6. The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria rated Anambra State as the most financially stable state in the country.

7. The State's ground-breaking return of schools to their original owners - Voluntary Agencies (Churches) on 1st January 2009, and subsequent partnership with the Agencies in Education, saw the State move from 24th position out of 36 States to Number One in National Examination Council (NECO) and West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations for three consecutive years. This made the World Bank to commission a study, led by the renowned Prof. Paul Collier of Oxford University, on this revolutionary partnership and phenomenal achievement.

8. The State also entered into strategic partnership with the Churches in the Health sector. This symbiotic relationship resulted in a tremendous boost to health care because of the services offered by health institutions owned by Voluntary Agencies, while the State restored grants to the agencies and made available to them more than 50 million Dollars in various types of support.

10. Through partnership with the Church in the Health sector, his Government funded the transformation of -:

a: Iyienu Hospital, Ogidi;
b: Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala;
c: St Charles Borromeo Hospital, Onitsha;
d: Holy Rosary Hospital, Waterside, Onitsha; and
e: St. Joseph Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu.
His Government also built the Joseph Nwilo Heart Centre in St. Joseph, Adazi-Nnukwu, where heart operations are now being performed.

11. His Government won the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (1 Million dollars) as the best-performing state in immunisation in the South-East. With complementary funding from our Government, they used the money to build 10 Maternal and Child Care Centres across the State, particularly in rural communities, in partnership with the Churches.

12. The State was the first to procure and distribute more than 30,000 computers to secondary schools, including 22,500 from HP. The Managing Director for Personal Systems Group HP Inc, Mr. FabriceCampoy described the deployment as the biggest of such projects in the Middle-East and Africa.

13. Anambra State Government provided Microsoft Academies to more than 500 secondary schools, which the Head of Microsoft in Nigeria (Mr. Ken Span) described as the biggest such deployment in Africa so far.

14. The State provided Internet access to more than 500 secondary schools, which the CEO of Galaxy Backbone (Mr. Gerald Ilukwe) characterized as incomparable to any in the country.

15. More than 700 buses were provided to secondary schools in the State by our Government.

16. Boreholes were provided in schools all over the State.

17. Numerous classrooms were built in all the 177 communities of the State.

18 As part of the efforts to turn around the economy of the State, a number of companies were attracted to build their facilities in the Anambra State. A case in point is SABMiller, the 2nd largest brewery in the world, which built their first Green Field facility in the State, which is today one of the most successful facilities they operate globally.

19. A number of other companies followed the SABMiller initiative and were all supported and encouraged under our Government; a good example is INNOSON Motor Manufacturing Company, from which our government bought more than 1,000 vehicles.

20. Anambra State for the first time started close collaboration with recognized government security agencies (the Police, Army, Navy, Department of State Security, Civil Defence, among others), offering them various types of support including provision of more than 500 security vehicles. The improvement in security was phenomenal, such that the former IG of Police (Abubakar Mohammed) lauded Anambra State for not witnessing any bank robbery in my last three years in office.

21. To further enhance security, Anambra State provided at least one security vehicle to each of all the 177 communities in the State as well as various organizations such as markets and Churches.

22. His Administration conceived and built, from scratch, the first state-owned Teaching Hospital, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu teaching Hospital, Awka.

23. His Government commenced the planned development of the Igbariam Campus of the ChukwuemekaOdumegwu-Ojukwu University, including the fencing, construction of internal roads, electrification, construction of the Faculty of Law, Auditorium, Administrative Block, Faculty of Agriculture, Management Building, among others).

24. His Government attracted the World Bank support on erosion - National Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) - to Anambra State.

25. His Government was the first to do Poverty Mapping in Nigeria, as a guide for the effective implementation of our poverty-alleviation strategies.

26 His Government, for the first time, undertook the aerial mapping of Awka as well as the production of Structure Plans for Awka Capital Territory, Onitsha and Nnewi.

27. During his tenure and with his Government's support, Anambra State became an oil producing State.

28. He built the first Secretariat Complex to house State Government Ministries that were hitherto scattered around the State.

29. His government commenced the development of the 'Three Arms Zone' comprising Government House/Governor’s Lodge, Legislative Building/Speakers Residence, and Judiciary Building with Chief Judge’s Residence.

30. By the end of his tenure in 2014, more than twelve (12) health institutions, including two hospitals, had secured accreditation; when we took off in 2006, no health institution in Anambra State was duly accredited.

31. Anambra State was the first to undergo national peer review, which scrutinised State Governments for good governance, through the State Peer Review Mechanism (SPRM), an initiative of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum in collaboration with the DFID.

This is coming from the same person who spent billions buying cars for traditional rulers who already had cars.

He didn't see first class graduates, entrepreneurs who needed assistance, lecturers, etc. He saw people with political clout most deserving for such gesture.

Well, he knows the people these meals he's cooking are meant to feed.

I don taya for this noisemaker. Who else is tired lol. 😁

Because you are too docile to think with your God given brain. Remain docile while people change countries.and institutions for good

Obi you go cry taya. I love the way Tinub ignored you and your fellow criminals it is so painful the attention you are looking for not given and that is what is frustrating you.

Wailer-in-Chief. Just know that a new Nigeria is imPossible with Peter Obi.

The same Peter Obi that was given the "commander of the Order of the Niger, CON award by President godluck Jonathan.

He should return the award and apologise to Nigerians first, then he can start his campaign of not giving awards to politicians, unless he wants to claim that he is not a politician again

Softmirror:
I don taya for this noisemaker. Who else is tired lol. 😁

I am also tired.He too talk

ClearFlair:
National awards should be for enterprising business persons, scientists, innovators, educators, philanthropists, sports men and women who have brought glory to Nigeria.

Mention 3 people that you know that does not deserve it

pdppower:
It is very true. Some politicians who are supposed to be in prison for embezzling public funds and ruining the country are glamorized and given national honors.

Mention 3 people that dint deserve it that are there

bigpicture001:
No body...

Juts u and people that thinks like u.. I mean people whose common wealth are stolen, yet they worship those who steal them...

And his not part of people that stole it ?

He always Slam, complain, disgruntled with a single solution

madridguy:
Obi just slamming everywhere to remain in the media till election period.

You mean the same way he slammed Lagos Baban Baban BARAWOO, the last election, before EYEneck rigged him up?

Very correct. It is only in Nigeria that everything is politics. National honours, even university honorary doctorate should be for people who have done major things in the society, not people who are stealing money and own no verifiable company in Nigeria.

fuckingAyaya:
you think I support corrupt individuals or affiliated with any party? The people are suffering and crying while the wicked politicians don't care because they know they have people like you, Reno and Bwala who will defend them. Hope you watched a video of 3 little boys being flogged mercilessly by terrorists asking them to raise 50million , how will they get ransom of 50million? The other day in benue 200 humans were slaughtered and we have moved on like it nothing, who knows where they will strike next? Everybody go get sense las Las but for now let's look and clap for them.

The guy only mirrors his dark mindset.
