Too much talk
Yen yen yen
Like the one you gave them, when you were Governor that made Anambra state the El Dorado of Nigeria........

That's one just like to talk, like he had no antecedents.

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'
Okay, we will get more money from taxes abi. Let us see the miracles it will make this year then. Let us see if it is the final solution to providing all we need and more to waste. Enough said.

By January next year, a full year of unprecedented collections by government, we will be here again by God's will to talk again about this matter.

And by the way how is a 'Porsche' a basic need. This clearly shows the mentality at work in this country where the elites are completely detached from the realities on ground. Basic healthcare is NOT a luxury, ambulance services he mentioned is NOT a luxury.

Spending trillions on pointless highways is the luxury, so as renovating useless (to the public) buildings for far more than it costs to provide the real and needed BASIC services from those they hope to tax.

You cannot prosper your citizens, you can NEVER profit from them. See how other countries and their leaders are going far and wide, over and beyond, to confiscate, steal and war to bring the bacon to their countries and prosper their citizens. Ours are experts at the opposite, how to take all from the people and fritter it away in foreign lands.

Okay don't complain when they borrow

It's what you guys want after all

1.5 million bpd, even 4 million is not enough for a nation of 200 or more million people

What are they borrowing for.
Tell me.
How much of this budget affects the real economy, how much goes towards the MDG's.

Let them strip the budget to the basics and bill the citizens. Let the people decide what they are willing to pay for as a priority and what we will work with our bare hands to achieve.

You will see that we can afford it.
But they won't because they don't want participatory governance, they don't want their ways and means exposed.

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.
13 months strike of doctors and health workers during his tenure?

My guy, it's not all of us can be fooled all the time. Obi should campaign based on what he did in his 8 years and not what ought to be which is deceitful and sentimental.

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.
PO made Anambra State richer.
Your Tinubu is building Coastal highway while existing highways have scrapped away.
No priority govt.

Nowhere in your conversation with that other fellow was apc brought up or mentioned but you've suddenly called it out as a reason to escape the debate you two were involved in.

I was following the debate but what you just did with this post has turned all your opinions on its head.

Good day to you. No need to reply I won't respond
Re: Nigeria Can Afford Basic Necessities But They’re Often Not Prioritised - Obi by IBB007(m): 10:42am On Jan 07

Well when you use rhetorics, as he did, I assume they are people who are calling me defender of government as usual, meaning they are campaigning for the opposition, the same way apc data boys campaign for the others


He thinks a healthcare budget of 6 billion would do what a healthcare budget of 300 billion does.

When I see thinking that way, I know that the person is being strawmannish

Like you are

Support your corrupt politican of choice like the apc geng are doing ..Just keep me out of your fight.
Re: Nigeria Can Afford Basic Necessities But They’re Often Not Prioritised - Obi by nairalanda1(m): 11:11am On Jan 07
Apc and pdp supporters believe that all we need to do is fight corruption

When you ask them questions about revenue, well rhetorics and rhetorics and rhetorics.

Am sure that coner guy thinks I am supporting apc.

Well, until I see a government that can get us off oil and face reality and make our budget a sane budget and until Nigerians stop thinking that everything must be free, lol

Adieu. 50 years of hearing the same complaints, yet they don't want to hear the solutions. Even apc supporters when you tell them their man is bad respond like the pdp supporters and adc supporter

Rentier state things. Defence is of the politican, not the nation

Facts don't respect feelings.

If you don't want to pay tax , well borrow. True if obi was president. Nothing to do with politics

Attack the Governments to do the needful no matter who's ruling whether federal, state or local.
You guys are not smart at all, leave the messenger, let's get things right; better late than never! Because he didn't do certain things during his tenure is the reason he can't speak out?
Whoever thinks like that has an extremely low IQ!!!

Tinubu was not that spectacular either.

Lagos is still a mess years later. For most of the people. Not the nice parts , most of the area

How many did he buy in Anambra and institutionalize it that if any accident happened in Anambra right now, about 3 or 4 ambulances would be at the scene?

He should stop generalizing these issues. In the USA, ambulances are not provided by the Federal Government.

Rich?

Lagos State is where people queued for common bread after Tinubu became president. The same period in Anambra State, people were seen in posh bars drinking expensive drinks.
Use your tongue to count your teeth before committing in public.

Watch how they attack the OBI instead of the topic

That's to show you how bad the country have been in corruption
They will attack him because his intention is to show that everyone is bad but he is good. He forgets that he had opportunity but he didn't correct these things. Before we can accept what he's saying let him start by showing us proof of his performance. It's easy to condemn.

SmartPolician:
People who are hoping for PO to become president don't even know they'll be his first set of casualties as some of them are contributing to the dysfunctional Nigeria state.

Imagine a federal civil servant who hasn't gone to work for months and still gets paid saying that a new Nigeria is POssible. cheesy Sanitising this country will be catastrophic but it's long overdue.
Honestly, that's my major fear but I can't risk the lives of over 300 million people for my selfish interest. I have people in the civil and public service relaxing in this Tinubu regime, knowing Peter Obi for who he is, the kind of reshuffling he will do eh , e go fo am with no pity.
