You see, I don't mind anyone saying all these good things, but it cannot be someone who had the opportunity to show these things but was not able to in 8years in office.

Someone like Sowore can make these kinds of statements and get away with it because he has not had the opportunity to show his capacity. He can make all sorts of crap promises, but not this Agulu failure. He had for 8 years and was a failure.

How can someone who was practically pathetic in 8 years as the Governor of just one state be making such an outlandish statement about doing all these on a national level when he failed to do such things on a smaller scale while in office for 8 good years?

I was hoping you could show me what you have done before, not what you are promising to do tomorrow.


Pls check out the dates on these tweets...these are some of what the citizens of his state said about him while he was Governor.
Eranko inugbo . Have you ever been in Anambra state or is it your Oluwole press that you rely on for info?

His records are there. Even though you are paid to do your job. Still read. The impact of Obi's government in the health and educational sectors in Anambra state is still speaking till tomorrow.
He wasn’t paid to do any job, he’s simply a Nigerian exercising his right to have an opinion on what any politician says. Of course, in the peculiar philosophy of Pitobi devotees, anyone who disagrees with Peter Obi or dares to poke holes in his public statements must automatically be on somebody’s payroll. Strangely enough, the entire Pitobi fan club appears to have fully embraced this fantasy as an established fact.

And do you know what that reminds me of? That memorable season when Nnamdi Kanu announced that Buhari had died and been replaced by a certain “Jubril,” and, against all odds, actual human beings nodded along in agreement.

Any Obi supporter who lacks the intellectual ammunition to counter a solid argument against Pitobi will resort to the same tired reflex. They will quote the comment, puff out their chests, and triumphantly declare, “Paid agent!”, as if shouting that magic phrase automatically substitutes for reasoning.

Am sure if Obi is an American he would have criticised Donald Trump for building fences between the American _ Mexico border and waging war with Venezuela when there are hundreds of Americans without shelters and living on the streets.

Obi in all his rhetoric has never for once spoken about d Dury or responsibilities of citizens apart from voting.
Does it mean d citizens don't have any role to play to better the society apart from not voting for or voting for someone?
Tey always to balance ur criticisms.
U have never spoken against insecurity on d part of the citizens.
U have never spoken against vandalism on d part of citizens.
U have never spoken about paying tax as basic responsibility on d part of citizens.
U have never spoken against religious intolerance on d part of d citizens.
U have never spoken against anything on d part of citizens...
It's always leadership and u forget about followership.

I'm beginning to see u as nuisance.

He is saying we already have enough to care for our basic needs. You are saying we need more. This is where you defer.

The essence of what he is saying is that if we cut waste, spend wisely, we can balance the books. What he is saying is that if we invest in things that benefit the many as against the few or the individual, we can turn to the many to fund our needs in time.

But your focus remains on more and more and I tell you, more and more income will never satisfy a mindset that is hardwired to waste. The tax regime is on. Let us see whether it will 'prosper' this country.

But you and I know it will not, just as the idea that increasing the size of your airconditioner will compensate for your inability to keep your doors and windows shut in this blazing hot season.
If we cut waste and 'spend wisely', we would still be left with a scanty budget.

The problem with most nigerians is that you think that we can get a porsche at the price of a biccycle. Our health budget is less than ten billion dollars, yet most of you guys want it to perform like the health budget of 300 billiion dollars. That is not possible.

We better face reality. Our problem is far more than just 'corruption'

I was telling someone something similar to this yesterday, but this lady will not even let me finish.
She was more interested in blaming top politicians while overlooking people like these who are collecting salaries while at home. I even gave an example of someone waiting to collect money from me before providing a basic government service that she's already getting paid for. She didn't think that these types of actions had anything to do with why the country is the way it is.
I just can't believe it. People think govt is just the President and the Governors.....I tire for my people
That is why there is hierarchy in government and civil services, if your subordinate isnt doing something right ,its your duty to querry them. We dont blame president because we dont like his face , we know the word from his mouth can make or destroy even the country , he can take your freedom and give you freedom . Someone who is right has to be there for changes to happen

When did patients start to know and get to where tests are conducted in hospitals to know about sterilization?

You provide your blood and told to wait for a result. That is the procedure in govt hospitals.


In the case of Obi, the patient went in with them.

For the sake of peace, I reserve my comment.

His core idea is fair: that government needs to prioritize the needs of the people in the implementation of the budget. But his example in this instance leaves one questioning his understanding of the workings of a federal structure. What’s the FG’s business with ambulances? He should put the blame where it should be, but it appears he can’t for political reasons.

Re: Nigeria Can Afford Basic Necessities But They’re Often Not Prioritised - Obi by Imindmybusiness: 8:54am On Jan 07
Before you attack PO, please ponder on these;

A standard ambulance costs about ₦150 million ($100,000). Nigeria spent ₦39 billion refurbishing the National Conference Centre in Abuja and ₦21 billion rebuilding the vice president’s residence.

Those two projects alone—₦60 billion—could have provided about 400 brand-new ambulances, roughly 11 per state, including the FCT. Had 11 functional ambulances existed in Ogun State, one might have been available for Joshua.

"Building a primary healthcare centre in a community costs about ₦75 million. Yet we spent about ₦300 billion ($200 million) on an additional presidential jet – money that could have built over 4,000 primary healthcare centres, about 110 per state.

The only visible value the jet adds is the ability of the president to occasionally disappear without the public knowing where he is, as is the case now.
Re: Nigeria Can Afford Basic Necessities But They’re Often Not Prioritised - Obi by careidon: 8:54am On Jan 07
I think the OP meant “can’t “ afford…

Basic needs = housing, food, transportation, education, electricity, health, security & telecoms services

Showing or exhibiting you are from that background is even a reason workers in govt hospitals will never allow you. To them, you are showing off.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, PROCEDURALLY,IT IS NOT ALLOWED.

Did Obi tell the lady she met on the flight how medical doctors and health workers went on strike and shut down govt hospitals for 13 months when he (Obi) was Gov of Anambra state?

Hypocrisy, claiming to be a saint when he was actually an accomplice.
