helinues:Oga, what you have just described is the difference between having knowledge of a situation and taking time out to meditate deeply on it to arrive at wisdom phase of it. Youths are blessed with knowledge but the old have wisdom. “The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the grey head.” (Proverbs 20:29) |

PulaPower:DON'T MIND THE CRIMINAL AND FRAUDSTER. HE DIDN'T TELL THEM HOW MANY BREWERIES HE BUILT IN ANAMBRA, WITH ZERO SCHOOLS, AND STATE DOCTORS WENT ON STRIKE OVER POOR SALARIES AND WORKING CONDITIONS, AND HE REFUSED TO PAY THEM FOR A WHOLE YEAR WHILE HE BUILT BREWERIES AND STUFFED HIS POCKET WITH PANDORA MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. CRIMINAL. |

It just occurred to me that this man Obi, has NEVER SAID ONE GOOD THING ABOUT NIGERIA in his entire life. I don't trust him anywhere near that Presidency. He will work to break up this country. I don't trust him ONE BIT. |

| Re: Xenophobia: Many Nigerians Prefer To Die In South Africa Than Return Home — Obi by DuttyChuks: 6:26pm On May 26 |
PulaPower:Rather than blaming your current president, and apc for scattering Nigeria with debts and more debts; with nothing to show; making it impossible for these ones to return home; you're here blaming a governor who ruled when Nigerians enjoyed from everywhere and when other countries recognized Nigeria as a giant of Africa. Well, una no get shame na una new motto! |

DuttyChuks:SHUT UP. STATE DOCTORS WERE DENIED THEIR SALARIES FOR A WHOLE YEAR BY PETER OBI, BECAUSE THEY PROTESTED FOR BETTER WORKING CONDITIONS. ARE DOCTORS ON STRIKE WITH SOLUDO THERE? NO! ARE THEY SUFFERING POOR WORKING CONDITIONS TODAY? NO! PETER OBI IS A CROOK AND A LIAR, AND THIEF. |

PulaPower:So sad I saw you got almost 100 likes for what you posted, those hundreds are people like who doesn't care about how the country should be improving, I'm sure you're a Yoruba guy, I won't say much, think about yourself, think about your people, think about Nigerians abroad who instead of turning home decides to sleep on the cold streets in the winter, think about those been killed and humiliated even in their own country, think about your family members, leave tribal sentiments, then edit your post and say the right thing, I grew up to here the saying that HEAVEN HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES. |

helinues:People like you are the reason why the country is not moving forward, how do you expect him to market the country? With what? Do you even know what marketing is? Do you know the concepts of Marketing? Do you go to markets with empty hands? I don't want to insult you Nigerians right now are not happy both home and abroad. Seems you're related to the ruling government. |
