You are deluded oga...

I can wager that you have never been to Anambra State once in your life or interview people who are on ground to know Peter Obi's scorecard as governor...

Once should expect that a person with basic education should speak with some scintilla of objectivity and empirical underpinnings and not sounding off like an ignoramus whose source of information is beer parlour gossips...
kid, i lived 12 of my formative years in anambra, under peter “Adaobi” my dads company had its headquarters at ifite akwa and I have a student hostel just ten minutes drive from the nnamdi Azikiwe uni.

I am from edo and I can categorically tell you that akwa was the worse state capital in the whole southern Nigeria under adaobi.

I witnessed three governors in anambra ans i call state with facts that ngige”s few months in office is miles ahead of obis wasted eight years.

So much for a man that refused to conduct local govt elections for a whole seven years, mtcheeew.
Kids.

You lived 12 centuries in Anambra and your dad was Arthur Eze and yet you cannot spell Awka correctly...

Oga stop talking trash abeg cos you gave no clue about what you are talking about...

How many people from Anambra and indeed the whole of the South East- apart from Soludo who is known for mindless political pettiness - are accusing Peter Obi of sub-par performance when he was governor?

Do I need to tell you that in the South East, poor performance does get condoned unlike elsewhere in Nigeria?

Why do you think that the likes of Rochas, Uzor Kali and even Uzodinma cannot come out tomorrow to vie for elective posts expecting the Igbos to vote for them?

An Igbo man will most likely prefer a foreigner who has a track record of performance to an candidate with questionable character...

I am not asking you to necessarily believe it...

Obi is the one jumping from pillar to post running is mouth he will make Nigeria dubai in 4 years.....tinubu we already know and we have seen what he can and will do,obi is the one that should be juxtaposing all tinubu is doing with cogent points and how he will do it better rather than dwelling on Irelevances.......I have since asking obidients these questions and no one has been able to answer it......you can bring up any tinubu policy and I can discuss it but ask obidients what obi will do differently,they run away.
Relax, when campaign season commences your curiosity will be satisfied.....Now I will run away...

Can u enumerate the problems of Nigeria?
Since u understand Nigeria so well and that is what they politicians have been selling for u guys.

Just enumerate the problems of this country let us start from there?

Did you also read his last statement? " He said Obi wants to be the president of Nigeria so that he will loot the country's account"
Do u agree with him on that? Mr adult.
Tell us the problem of Nigeria.

What is the estimate of Nigeria infrastructural deficit?

How much do we need to spend annually to bridge the gap?

How much is our annual budget compare to the infrastructural gap?

How do plan to bridge the budget deficit gap without borrowing,removing susbidy,withold naira defence and increase tax coverage?


How do you ensure the senate of 109 people with divergent socio-geo-religio-political interest ensure the restructuring of this country?


You people are just desperate to make one of your own president

Internet is the closest to what we have as Time machine.Lets travel back to his period as a governor in this picture.

How come no single old tweet or post of people praising him as governor?

Critical thinking...zero...

You can send or inquire from a random person about the kind of governor Obi was...

Peter Obi made his name in sterling leadership as a governor before being platformed both nationally and globally.

Try harder, bloke...
Re: Peter Obi: I Want To Be A One-Term President Because Of Stability by FatherLord: 3:20pm On May 14
Still better than Tinubu that promised renewed hope only to bring renewed shege. Voting Obi is a better risk to vote for if you ask me . He that is down needs fear no fall .

Saying the truth and keeping promises seem to scare some of you because you’re used to politicians who say one thing and do the opposite.

I can understand where you’re coming from, in a country where honesty and accountability in leadership have become rare, integrity now looks strange.

Peter Obi is simply reminding Nigerians that he is not desperate for power. Politics should not be a do or die affair, it should not be a grab it, snatch it, and run away with it affair. Leadership is about service, not conquest.

And yes, four years is enough to begin turning things around with purposeful leadership, discipline, and competence.

After all, if Tinubu’s administration could plunge the country deeper into debt, worsen inflation, increase hardship, weaken the naira, deepen insecurity, and leave Nigerians battling constant electricity issues within a short period, then meaningful recovery within four years is absolutely achievable with the right leadership and dedication.
Trusting Peter Obi on a single 4 year tenure based on his promise is like trusting every other politician in Nigeria. There is no reason or justification to set Obi aside based on his antecedents. He promised never to leave APGA but where is he today? How many terms did he serve as Anambra's Governor? If he could not fix his State's problems in one term, there is nothing to suggest he can fix the Nation's problems in one term. Let us be honest with ourselves and stop playing the Ostrich.

. For us from northern Nigeria, anything, anyone, anyhow to remove Tinubu from the Villa is OK, why? Tinubu was largely in office due to northerners Votes, But he has sidelined northern common interests ( farmers are abandoned and exposed by panick imports and no input subsidy) and he resorts to settling northern elites

Now u have mentioned all those things.
My brother I want to tell u without any reasonable that major problem of Nigeria can be managed if the money can be properly managed.

There are a lot of natural resources that government do not even care about because of oil and do u know how much of our natural resources is being stolen everyday?

Do you know how much that people steal in this country every day?

Look at our legislators do u know how much they do go home with for one sitting?

Do you know how much the past and present government put into the refinery without any tangible out come

We were in this country when PDP collected Abacha loot what did the use the money for?

During Buhari and this present government how much have they collected from politicians can they account for it because everybody is coming to take their own share and sale the narrative to the gullible that the problem of Nigeria can not be solved.



We have ICPC, EFCC, and we are using NIN and BVN.

What are their usefulness and what has this government done to make them effective because there was a reason why all sectors was created.

Finally, our problem start from our electoral system if we can get that right no politicians will be messing up with the electorates.

He is clean as cristal.
He doesn't have Forged certificates.
He comes on TV to discuss about Nigeria problems, and provides solutions on how to solve them step by step if given a chance while others goes on TV to talk about Peter Obi grin you see the difference now.
He doesn't believe in tribalism or favourism.
No past criminal cases weda in 9ja or outside 9ja.

maybe you think you are talking to your kid siblings, every anambrarian was tired of obi as a governor, Ojukwu had to campaign for obi for his second term from sick bed and that was what saved obi.

Every obi praise singer today that was an adult during his time as governor once castigated and insulted him.

That igbos don’t condone bad leadership hahahahahahhaha, abaribe is one of the longest serving senator in the history of Nigeria and he is still going just because the people voting him are from sokoto hahaha

To your last paragraph, show me any Igbo man representing or governing another Igbo a state away from his state of origin

Can you live in your state , can you swear that you are not writing from a south south or south west or any northern state?

Empty chest beater.
