Voting Obi had nothing to do with Tribe but the Use of Common sense and their Brains. He was the Best option and that's why d criminals are fighting for him not to run in 2027
If only he used that best option in Anambra when he was governor maybe some of us would have considered him, someone that couldn't turn around a state in 8 years want to fix Nigerian in 4 years, I bet you Obi will find it difficult to pass a single budget through the National assembly in 4 years. Beside the complaint about the road is all in bad faith we all want Nigeria to develop but the moment we see progress we get envious of both the country and those in charge simply because we don't like who they are, and we turn around and run to countries that its citizens paid dearly through free labor and low wages to build.

Keep playing with your future with these Nigerian leaders and by the time you and many like you will come to their senses, 60 years will be knocking at your age.


Most of you had been so confused with democratic leadership that you don't realize again that it is not about the leader but about you the People and that's why you support them at your detriment.

So what is it mr efulefu - topographic or engineering failure? For goodness sake, what kind of senseless liars and propagandists that Nigeria is unfortunate to have in government in times likes this? How can Dave Umahi be downplaying a major breach in a super coastal highway of fraud that is causing the nation so much drainage in resources?

Thought Dave Umahi boldly told the world that an environmental impact assessment( EIA) has been done? So what led to the breach? Was the new cost of repairing it factored into the initial budget or another fraudulent billion would be requested. This govt is filled with shameless fraudsters.

You are very funny. Who else was available in 2007?

Obasanjo hand picked Yaradua at the last minute. The unspoken rule was that the presidency would return to the North. Who was your candidate in 2007 that had the national spread that you rejected for Yaradua ? By 2007, every state in SE was sympathetic to PDP. Tell me who you would have voted in 2007 that you rejected for Yaardua that could have won the election? You made it sound like the Yorubas didn't vote for Yardua? We also had Pastor Bakare in that election. You want me to say we rejected Bakare for Yardua or what?
Listen to yourself again, you said in your first mention that Igbos supported OBJ because they wanted Ekueme to become president through PDP and then we voted for Yaradua in 2007, are you trying to say OBJ betrayed the Igbos or the Igbos didn't know that power will return back to the north after OBJ but foolishly supported him thinking it will remain in the south for Ekueme to become president?


Any answer you pick above doesn't still make any sense as to why Igbos voted Yaradua over 90% when it was OBJ that hand picked him, see how stpd you sound now, because of hate.

Finally you have dragged Peter Obi's name into Mr Tinubu’s fraudulent enterprise. Peter Obi, the name that gives you people erection. He lives rent free in you people's brain 24/7 tormenting and confusing all of you.
Now that you mentioned him, can we rest for you?

The only common denominator was that Igbo was always voting PDP. Nothing more, nothing less. PDP was formed by an Igbo man who had high hopes of becoming president. Igbo has never voted any other party apart from PDP so voting Yardua was no different. You had no other candidate

I was expecting this. It is just like we saying when Bakare came out to contest, Yorubas had no candidate..

Let me tell you the difference. How many states did Apga win in SE? For Ojukwu to be taken seriously as a candidate, you would at least vote his party in your states and we would all know he was a regional leader. If you now rejected him at the national level after that then we can say you rejected your best candidate for other candidates. Ojukwu was never a serious contender in any election. You all knew that other parts of the country would never trust a seccesionist that engineered the civil war to become president so you and I know that his candidacy was a joke.

So why did the Igbos now take Peter Obi serious without structure and a party that had no elected official in 2023?

Exactly. For the first time, you abandoned the PDP because your tribesman failed to clinch the presidential primary in PDP. I will tell you this, ATIKU brought Obi to limelight by making him the VP in PDP so the Igbos saw their best chance. When they now thought it was the time of the south again, the only person they had was the person that was recently a VP candidate and since he was not getting what he wanted,they left the party. At the slightest opportunity, they abandoned the party.

Igbos rally around Peter Obi out of desperation and frustration. I actually feel for them . However, it is better to say you want an Igbo presidency because you are due for it than to say Peter Obi that failed as a governor is the best candidate. It is comical

Who is this one trying to fool? Anyway Lagosians can be fooled by that comment , for 10 months in year they re submerged under water, alot of them have forgotten what a decent road looks like.

Anyone who has has been to Abuja, Rivers or AKS knows that without gutters roads wont last.

The ones he built as governor in Ebonyi didnt stay up to 1 year, they had cracks with iron rods sticking out and bursting tyres.

The concrete road is very harsh on your tyres you need to drive on them to experience this, better drive below 80kmPH f you dont want to go to heaven.

This is issue was dealt with by a member here ( see link below) to him I say'' salute''.

https://www.nairaland.com/8083952/current-state-concrete-road-umahi

A country with zero maintenance policy on roads has no business venturing into concrete roads, they were meant for short distances not long distances as we are trying to do in Nigeria.

There is a reason why asphalt roads have endured over the centuries.

1. Let us go back to all your false accusations about the Igbos, So an Igbo man formed PDP because he wanted Igbo to be president, yet for 16 years the Igbos never got president nor vice, but according to you an Igbo man created PDP for that purpose, does it even make sense to you?

So if Tinubu and Buhari who formed APC could not get themselves or any of their tribesman to be either president or vice for 16 years straight, does it sound realistic to you? don't you see how stpd you sound?

2. Igbos always voted PDP because they wanted to be president through PDP, let's even assume for a second that you are right in your own logic, So you are telling me that the Igbos gave their support to all other regions to become president and when it was their turn they were betrayed and you are happy that such injustice was done to the Igbos, don't you see you have a deep seated hatred for them?

Aren't you supposed to be saying that this thing that was done to the Igbos is bad, at least even if you are not supporter of PDP, that already shows the type of mind you have for the Igbos...

After reading your entire accusations, it is clear where the whole false narrative is coming from(deep seated hatred).

We know your prayer is for it to fail so you and your lambanus will have something to rejoice about grin grin

See, it will all end in joy and success. Amen.
should his interest in the road be the problem or whether the road is necessary in the first place?

even if it is, why is it so expensive?

should that not be your concern?

Lagos-Calabar Highway Costs 7 times more per km than Pan-African Cairo-Cape town route.

1. Nigeria’s Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, a 700 km highway.

Budget: $11–13 billion

2. Cairo-Cape Town Highway, a 10,228 km Cairo-Cape Town Highway

Budget: $1.65 billion

Well this is a coastal road.
The entire Atlantic Ocean is beside it.
There's no way the ocean water will not shift the sand in the area or make the ground unstable.
Unless you want them to pile it, as if they're making a bridge.
And that will make it cost 10x more.

This is just ONE shift.
There is bound to be more of these as the years go by.

You accused the Igbos using only the 2023 general election voting pattern, why didn't you accuse them with all their voting patterns since 1999 or you just want to be selective with biased information to suit your nonsense and false narrative?

Reason why I am telling you not to be selective with your information, or are you trying to tell me Igbos just started voting in 2023?

Why did you use only 2023?

Because it will suit your false narrative....

It is like you saying because you saw a man eating rice when you went to visit him means he eats only rice, it doesn't make sense.

If you want to accuse the Igbos with such, provide all the voting patterns since 1999, with that you can accuse the Igbos with your full chest if you are right.

Soludo paid poster. Do you know d kinda rot Obi met in Anambra?
I know the kind of rot that the wannabe godfather left behind.

newsbook:
Anambra State governor, Chief Willie Obiano has re-echoed his allegation that his predecessor, Mr Peter Obi demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him for sponsoring his election in 2013.

Obiano and his predecessor, Obi have had a frosty relationship shortly after his swearing in.

Obi has however denied that he demanded for the sum of N7.5billion from Obiano, saying that his problem with him was his (Obiano’s) underperformance.

Obi said if he needed the said sum, he would have simply taken it from the N75billion he left for the Obiano administration at the end of his tenure.

But Governor Obiano while speaking on Wednesday evening at Ezechima Primary School, Onitsha where he inaugurated his reelection campaigns in Onitsha North Council Area, said the clarification became necessary because of the recent accusations against him by the former Governor.

He stated that his predecessor had demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him as funds spent in prosecuting the election on his behalf, but that he refused to pay the money because it was not true.

Obiano said he refused to pay because he strongly believed that public funds should be used for public good, and not to settle godfathers.

These, he said, was the reason they fell apart.

The governor said that another reason he refused to pay the money was because he was aware that enough money was raised for his campaign by his friends and associates, all of which were never accounted for by the former governor.

On the actual sum the former Governor claimed he left behind, Governor Obiano made it clear that he inherited liability of about N127 billion debt from him in contracts awarded and other responsibilities, which he has been religiously undertaking in the spirit of continuity.

He said Obi flagged off several roads even on the day he was leaving office and saddled him with the burden of paying for it, but he assured the people that he has his eyes on the ball and will not allow anything to distract him from fulfilling his promises.

The Chairman of the Governor’s Re-election Campaign Committee, Chief Victor Umeh said APGA as the political spirit of Ndigbo, has in the past three and half years, availed Anambra good governance at its best, reminding the people that the upcoming guber election was not about Willie Obiano but about ensuring that the state remained free from political godfatherism.

A former Central Bank Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo in his speech said that at this time, the State needs a tested hand like Governor Obiano who has the experience and expertise to effectively steer her affairs.
