OlujobaSamuel:You are not learned by friend. Have you had about the great babylon? No oil but was once the richest country in the world. Look up the textile industry in China, India and USA, they rake in more revenue from textile than your nnpc would ever. Your hatred for PO shouldn't let you loose common sense nah. Modified In 2025 China textile companies raked in over $1trillion while Nigeria oil in the same 2025 raked in $35billion dollars. In 2024 USA textile companies raked in over $63billion exporting textiles while Nigeria earned $30billion in oil revenue. In 2025 India generated $152billion from textile compare to nigeria $35billion from oil. Let give it up for PO. |

Leilanjleeane:Buhari stopped importation of rice, our local rice farmers increased prices of rice without proper explanation.... They also had a lot of incentives to support them asides the ban on importation of rice. If the current FG stops import, how will you regulate prices of the local producers? Are we also going to ban importation of used shoes and clothes? |

PO is right on this one if the likes of Singapore with no crude can boast of higher standard of living than the likes of the US, UK and other Western countries just with their service based economy which is predominantly garment making & textile. I keep saying this Nigeria is not as bad as our leaders made it to be we only need a leader who looks beyond crude oil economy and provides us with even as little as 20hrs stable electricity & regional security, then leave the rest for Nigeria productive and innovative population and watch the magic happen ![]() |

Talk in low tones before PBAT team initiates a government policy to cripple Aba like Aba was under Buhari administration. |

Richtaiwo:This your thinking is why many of you still.believe so much in ritual money. Rather than think of how to take advantage of this massive industry, your brain can't process it |

This guy is definitely high on fermented kunu, 'cause sometimes you wonder if he thinks before speaking. |
| Re: Aba’s Garment, Footwear Industry Can Rival Oil Revenue — Peter Obi by Mrexcell(m): 12:00pm On Mar 29 |
Richtaiwo:So in ur dull brain no other sector of the economy can outperform the oil sector? If other countries are earning far more in production and export than crude oil why can't nigeria also do same with support from govt? |

OlujobaSamuel:Thank you. Unfortunately for obi his fellowship is gradually thinning out. He not only makes fallacious claims that will drive any educated person away from him, he also makes political errors and foolery that the common man can see. What is the meaning of jumping from LP to ADC? what is the meaning of washing toilet in an international flight? What is the meaning of claiming that tinubus debt is over 90b dollars? He is so far from reality that he sounds very ridiculous. I wonder how he has followers |

But instead you built a beer parlor which value is next to nothing now. This man is the greatest hypocrite in Nigeria political history. When does been former presidential candidate now a title because I don't understand. He was a former failed governor period. |

Okechinwadike:"China get oil?" What is that supposed to mean mister? So for your mind, China no get oil or what? ![]() Who dey born these pikin troway for Nairaland sef. You're saying this about a country that's among the world's largest producers of oil. Pekele Pekele. This is how many of you often think and say the US has no oil hence the reason for their invasions of oil-producing countries ![]() |

This nigga must be high on something, because I wonder how a sensible person would be talking like this 🤷♀️. Why didn’t he makes it happen when he was a Gov… You’re a joke ògbéni 😏 |

Why didn't you invest in it as governor? Criticizing is easy. |

Lmaooo Allow aba import raw materials duty free to make products they can only export and not sale to local market Who d hell cares about local Nigeria market? Lmaooo We are talking about Aba competiting with turkey🇹🇷, Bangladesh Vietnam for USA, and European market |

Richtaiwo:Oh great, another “Aba can be the next Vietnam/Bangladesh” fantasy from the man who turned governance into a spreadsheet meme. Peter Obi loves dropping these grandiose comparisons—garments and footwear matching oil revenue? Oil brings in tens of billions of dollars annually. Aba’s industry can’t even keep its lights on consistently, let alone compete with global supply chains that took decades to build. Where’s the plan? The infrastructure? The trade agreements? Or is “competent leadership” just a buzzword you recycle every election cycle? You had your chance in Anambra. How’s that “production revolution” looking now? Spare us the TED Talk and show us something real. |
| Re: Aba’s Garment, Footwear Industry Can Rival Oil Revenue — Peter Obi by callthefred: 12:13pm On Mar 29 |
mrvitalis:So you want duty free import? Where is your brain. You're not even saying Abia should be making those raw materials locally to help create more jobs. The same import that destroyed jobs over the years is still what your advocating and you think you understand how an economy should be ran?? |
