Wrong. He said obi's investment is worth next to nothing.

The brewery is an investment

check the video he made the comment on ariseTV

Tjra:
Revenue from FirstBank alone is worth more than the brewery almost 5 times.

Just imagine how developed Anambra would have been had Obi given priority to critical sectors of the economy.

If private institutions can generate this much, then imagine how much more the state would make if he made the state very conducive for more companies to flock in.

Government have no business investing in private businesses, just basic amenities and critical infrastructures and watch the private sectors do their magic.

A company that's generating over #300m and employing thousands of anambra
people can't be regarded as a wasted investment.

Nigerians and emotions are 5 and 6. Not facts and logic.
A man whose only laudable achievement is a brewery is competent and should become the president.
But the man who laid the blue print for a mega state. Built millennium schools attract investors and invest in security (RRS) to the extent that the former resides in the latter's state after his tenure shouldn't be the president and is incompetent.

Why hasn't he done it for Nigeria?

If Peter Obi was the governor of Lagos State he would have done far than Tinubu. If Tinubu was the governor of Anambra he would have been a disaster. Lagos State is very easy to govern considering the economic value of the state.

Easier said than done. Is there any disparity between Lagos allocations and Anambra allocations? So what about Delta State despite their huge allocations and royalties? By your logic; Delta State ought to have been Lagos pro max.

Ofunaofu:
You forgot to mention that the man you claimed built the blueprint also constructed a conduit pipe connecting the coffers of the Lagos State Treasury to his personal pocket, siphoning and milking the entire commonwealth of Lagosians for over two decades and counting.

Alright. The state you claimed he is siphoning funds from is still better than your region. So what's happening in your region that the governors aren't siphoning funds from?

kolente:
The value of the shares/ stocks of International Breweries has also spiked in the last 3 months better than it's entire 2024 performance.

Honestly
Over 200%

I bought 7,500 shares

I was surprised to see it climb that high

I'm planning on investing more

givedemwotowoto:
So the breweries are generating a lot of revenue for Anambra? No wonder PO invested in it. He understood the local industry. That's what it takes to be a good President, understand the country you're leading, and what will bring money and opportunities for your country

A d get us all too drunk to notice his ineptitude in the process.

Good job.

What was the economic value of Lagos state before Tinubu came in 1999 and the growth rate when he left in 2007?

What was the economic value of Anambra state when Peter Obi came in and the growth rate when he left?
lets start from the above questions.

Both states an completely different. Lagos occupies a strategy position in Nigeria which comes with certain privileges. Lagos attracts so much foreign and local investments which Anambra State can not attract. Growing the economy of Anambra by 1% is as difficult as growing the economy of Lagos by 10%.

Lagos attracts local and foreign investments in quote; right from 1999 what do you think the governors have been doing right for attracting investments that Anambra cannot pull off?

This is a sign of backwardness if banks are the only top investors in Anambra states while in south west, banks are not even expected to take such leading role since there are many top rated companies and international investors. When we tell you to shun ipobism and ESNism, and stop burning Dangote trailers; you will say nah lie, nah lie. Ndi Anambra,see your life! Kanu has wrecked Anambra that was so full of potential of industrialization before ipob began. Soludo, you get more work to do in the second term. You need to attract lots of national and international companies to Anambra state, having banks topping your industrialization sector is a sign of backwardness in 21st century.

Stop idea of "I no dey borrow money"; if you know what to do; you have to borrow. Borrow loan with least interest rate and embark on aggressive campaign to woo investors especially international investors. Even the least state in the south west can not be proud of having banks topping her industrization sector. If Anambra is like this, which company will then top in other south eastern states?

Give me examples of the top investments of the top rated companies and international investors in your state and how much revenue they generate for the state monthly. SW is not a state.

Lagos has always been a hotspot since the colonial master's arrived Nigeria and it became a larger city after it became Nigeria's capital city for many decades. Being Nigeria's capital city for many years is enough to pull in heavy investments same as what is happening to Abuja today. Whatever Lagos is today has little to do with Tinubu or other ex-governors. The governors of Lagos simply inherited an already developed large city and they now claim they are the ones who built it from scratch.

Thanks for your civil response bro. Was the whole of Lagos state developed by FG or just part of Lagos which is Lagos island?
Yorubas aren't happy with the way some of you are distorting history.
Lagos island was the seat of power then, and federal government only developed that part and part of Yaba, Ebute-metta and some part of costain towards surulere.
Tinubu came and raised the state IGR followed by all successful governors. With this IGR they were able to construct and rehabilitate existing roads, established LAWMA, LAMATA, BRT, Blue line, Red line and some other infrastructures in Lagos. Lagos health care and Lagos civil service remains the best in the whole of Nigeria.
the managers of Lagos state has to do all this with federal government allocations that all other states are collecting and IGR. Don't forget that Calabar was once a capital.
Saying the governors didn't do anything shows you are biased.
And you said something, that Lagos has been a hotspot when the colonial masters arrived. Not Only when they arrived, infact before they arrived. Yorubas and other settlers in Lagos has been trading and developing Lagos even before the arrival of colonial masters. So we can agree that Lagos state is blessed.
Imagine if Lagos governors have been spending the state resources recklessly; will people stay? Won't people go to other serious and developed states. So kudos must be given to past and present governors. Lagos is receiving same allocations like other state.

Lagos state may be getting the same allocation like other states but other states don't have the available resources to increase their IGR like Lagos did. Lagos is a wealthy state so increasing IGR is not rocket science. Other states in Nigeria don't have the wealth that Lagos has.

I am glad you mentioned that Yorubas and other settlers developed Lagos. Which means it is the combined effort of Nigerians. Every ethnic group in Nigeria invested heavily in Lagos. But many Yorubas make it sound like only Yorubas developed Lagos.

So from your last paragraph; advocate for the indigenes of other states to be friendly and accommodating like lagosians so that people can flock into their states and develop them just like Lagos state. Indigenes can't be hostile to visitors and expect them to stay and contribute to the development of that state. So that is why Yorubas are referred to as 'Omoluabi'.

Yea, Lagos is a wealthy state because of the crop of governors it has produced. From mere 600 million naira in 1999. Thanks to Jagaban and his predecessors! You can check what oil producing states are collecting as IGR and 13% derivations and royalties. If those states managers are wise and prudent, they ought to be doing exploits like Lagos state!

Thanks for your time bro.
Enjoy the rest of your night bro and remember to vote for Jagaban come 2027!!!
