Peter Obi: The Man Who Taxed Poverty in Anambra

Dear Peter Obi,

Thank you for your thoughts on the Tax Reform Act, which came into force yesterday, which was New Year's Day. However, it seems you have forgotten the following historical facts.

While you were the Governor of Anambra, poverty increased in the state, yet you imposed new and heavy taxes on the people of Anambra.

Please fact-check me: The poverty rate in Anambra was 41.4% in 2003, before you, Obi took office, and rose to 53.7% by 2009, during your governorship, a 29.7% increase.

Yet, despite the rise in poverty under your watch as Governor, on Tuesday, June 11, 2013, you imposed new and heavy taxes on Anambra markets, prompting traders in the state to protest.

And again, please fact-check me.

When 600 traders from Eke Awka Market protested and filed an appeal against you, you insisted that they must pay your new, heavy taxes.

At that, they led another protest to the Anambra State House of Assembly, barricaded it, and prevented legislative business from proceeding.

And all this was happening while you, Peter, dishonestly hid your own money in tax havens, as shown in the Pandora Papers of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists.

Therefore, I find it strange that you, who increased poverty in Anambra and also simultaneously increased taxes, are now accusing the Tinubu administration, which has added $57 billion to our economy, of taxing the poor.

And just so you know, your allegations show that you haven't read the new tax laws, because in those legislations, Nigerians earning less than ₦800,000 will not be taxed.

Meaning that under President Tinubu, those petty traders in Anambra that you taxed to near death would have a tax holiday.

So, please, Peter, reread your post, and direct it at yourself, because it is all about you, the man who taxed poverty in Anambra!

You were taxing poverty as Anambra Governor, but President Tinubu is tackling poverty as Nigeria's President.

🤔 internet no dey forget. Will Atiku handle the presidential ticket of ADC to Peter Obi?

I love Ambassador Reno Omokiri.

He backs his claims with facts and figures.

The nightmare of Pandora Peter Obi is back in action 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just like you did here too.

Taxation is not even evident during peter Obi's tenure

Reno Omokri is lying machine for Tinubu

Reno Omokri challenged anyone to debunk his statement that poverty level doubled in Anambra during Peter Obi's tenure as Governor of Anambra state. He offered a prize of Naira equivalent of 10,000 dollars.

A twitter user has debunked the claim by Reno Omokri and Reno has not responded since 2024.

Now notice how Reno Omokri didn't mention poverty level doubled this time around. He is now saying it was a 29.7% increase.

Please how is 53.7%- 41.4 %= 29.7%?

Reno Omokri can't even do simple maths.



Tinubu was governor from 1999-2007.
From the NBS report of 2003-04 when Tinubu was still governor, poverty rate in Lagos was 69.4%.

Tinubu gave Lagos a poverty rate of 69.4%. No wonder he's replicating same on national level.

See this one. Did you even read the picture you uploaded?

Reno said Pitobi met the poverty rate at 41.4%

And that he increased the rate to 53.7%

Is the information on the figure you uploaded different from what Reno said?

Is it that you didn't read it our you simply don't understand what you posted?

The same chart you uploaded indicates that Tinubu reduced poverty rate from 69.4% to 40.3%. So what exactly is your point?

After Fubara called Wike a Dog that barks aimlessly.

Everyone doesn't regard a constant liar who makes even the devil look like a saint.

If Reno O'fuckery said these things about Tinubu and you are a TINUBU supporter who still adores him because he insults PO.

Then you are essentially a failure.

Simple.

You go cry and explain tire.

Hunger na ya mate?

Go your street campaign for TINUBU make better hand touch you.

Sophisticated failures

Thank God you have exposed yourself here. Was Tinubu the governor of Lagos in 2009/2010?

No wonder you guys follow someone that screamed 'na statistics we go chop' because you can't interpret data.

Babablu Bulabu. I know what I am doing. The response is to his previous claims where he said poverty level doubled. Is 41.4 % to 53.7% times two?

Please how is 53.7%- 41.4 %= 29.7%?

Reno Omokri can't even do simple maths.

He should maintain his original lying stance that poverty doubled.

Richtaiwo:
I love Ambassador Reno Omokiri.

Take one of his facts.

Reno came all out! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

No way Peter is getting out of this!

Facts on the table!

Why you have to think before you talk.

Richtaiwo:

Sincerely! He came prepared!

No way Peter can counter his claims!

Any attempt to respond will be a disaster. Better he should just keep mute.

Reno nailed his coffin!

Loll if you like churn out all propaganda from Obi’s critics while in Govt,reality is the primary responsibility of a govt is to secure the lives and properties of the people and Obi achieved this effortlessly even with the presence of a secessionist movement, continue to do your zombie oshofree Pr for Obi na like dis una take use una use zombism take increase him vote to 6m .

Peter obi always think everyone is like his unfortunate Obidients

That Reno should really hide his face in shame…he doesn’t know that the appointment Tinubu gave him is a slap on his face.

Gbajue the tax master, everything he's talking about today, he did worse as Governor. He only has the guts of spewing trash because of some ignoramuses who either have a short memory or were never born when he was a Governor. Those are the set of people who have placed the fraud on a saint status.
PitaObi the wicked tax master.

You can't read a simple table because you lacked basic understanding. We have challenged you repeatedly over this. Tinubu took over in 1999, so tell us the poverty rate as at when he took over, till today, you couldn't, all you do is posting a statistics you can't interpret. Unlike Gbajue, who took over in 2006, when poverty rate was lower but increased poverty rate 8years after he left office.

Who takes the fraud serious? Anyway his Obidient noise-makers will always support him as usual. Both Obi, Tinubu and atiku should rest. My issue with Obi is that he is so dull that he is always contradicting himself. He will say A today and when asked the same question, he will say B very unstable politician. Obi the party prostitute.

Obi should come again in 2031

Peter Obi's horrible past as Anambra state governor will continue to hunt him down

Enemy you said... Hahaha, we are only pointing out Obi's glaring flops when he was Anambra state governor.

Almost all what he has been accusing this government for, he did worst when he was the governor of Anambra state

It's hypocritical of him to be questioning/attacking something he mastered

ever since Peter Obi came out to contest for Nigeria presidential seat, you have been thorn in his flesh. Rest small bro.

Understand English words before making use of them. Have you ever seen me attacking Peter Obi on unrelated topics? What's the meaning of thorn in his flesh? You mean we can't point out things he's glaringly doing wrong?

How many times have I praised him whenever he does something that make sense? How many birthday wishes have I wished him?

I even created, thread before the 2023 election advising him how to go about it. If you need prove thread, I can provide it

Hahaha, I remember the story about his son's photo, I can boldly say I am the one who killed the narration on this forum because the dragging was unnecessary.

We don't play petty or bitter politics here. Nothing personal

it's very rare you praise Peter Obi on this website. Screenshot where you praise him?

I didn't even know say na you before. Are you one of the supporters of Peter Obi?

When did the emergency love start? Ask the Obidients themselves to tell you some of the threads/comments I have made which shocked his supporters.

Meanwhile, you shouldn't be the one accusing others of this. Are you not the same person who fought almost everyone about Adeleke but today, you don't want to hear anything Adeleke?

Year in , year out, you keep on with the boring attitude on this forum, Johnnyessence

A man that doesn’t know simple arithmetic even when there are calculators on almost every device.

How’s the difference between 53.7% and 41.4% equal 29.7%.

That’s one thing about liars, they just say, they barely reason.

Babablu Bulabu!!

I should tell you? Find it by yourself. Or tell your Reno Omokri the fact checker to find it. That's your assignment. Simple statistics you can't comprehend.
No wonder you keep following Tinubu who shouted 'na statistics we go chop'

Fact is that Tinubu gave Lagos a poverty rate of 69%.

Cry us Atlantic ocean.
