Peter Obi didn't go to school like you and I.

He didn't go to school to fight poverty or chase a 9-5.
He went to school for the fun of it. As a hobby.

By the time he graduated, he was already a dollar millionaire.
He had zero intention of using that degree to go job-hunting.

So it's funny when people use his 2nd class lower degree to mock him.

The truth is clear: He was never really "into studies" then. He was busy building his businesses, and making legit money while many students were burning midnight oil to get first class and work in big companies.
He even had houses within the school then collecting rents.

The man was already ahead financially before NYSC.

It’s even funnier seeing Tinubu supporters use that grade as an insult.
You mock a man who was making money in school for not getting A’s, while your own "excel man" is still being asked to present his own school records 40+ years later.

The Joke is really on you.

Second class lower is a fine class of degree

I thought you were the guy that claimed you are no longer obi-dient... So you went back?

Anyway, your choice, however, I will like to take you on the bolded. I have been on it for more than 2 years now and no obidient has been able to answer me, perhaps you will finally be able to.

The question is simple, who rated Obi as a billionaire in USD?
Secondly, what legitimate business did he do that put him in that class of billionaires?

He said he is no longer an Obidient but a Peter Obi supporter. It is not everyone that supports Peter Obi that is a member of Obidient group. Know the difference

I have no problem with his choice. That was just by the way, I am more interested in the bold claim that Obi is a billionaire.

Let's assume he exaggerated; something everyone of you is guilty of, but if you guys utilise the time you spend in scrutinizing anything concerning Obi in scrutinising those in power, they would be more accountable to the people.

Okay, thanks for admitting that he exaggerated, which to me is a fancy way of saying he lied.

There is no politician in the country, to the best of my knowledge other Obi who goes around claiming to be a millionaire in dollars like an insecured money-miss-road. So, if you claim to be one when we know you do not have an industry like Dangotte, then you open yourself up for scrutiny,

1. It doesn't matter the class of degree of the person wishing to rule us, what matters is does the person have the right people and right plans and right details of plans

Don't know why Nigerians as a whole cry about certificate...when they should ask a candidate what he wants to do.

See Lula of Brazil, two times president of Brazil. Lula;s education, in Nigerian terms is, six years of primary school, then he did basic 7 (JSS1) and then part of Basic 8 before dropping out. He never went to college or university, never finished secondary school, makes Buhari look like an erudite gentleman

Finally, second class lower degrees were high grade in Obi's day...university entrance back then was very tough. You did five years of secondary school, and you had to pass your O level very very well...not just five credits...to do A level. A level was two years, then you had to pass A level very very well, not just three credits...and then you got to university. From 1977, JAMB came in, before that you had to pass the University Matric exams...another tough route...before you entered.

A third class back then guaranteed you a job in the Civil service.

I would have supplied you the information you need but the fact that you didnt even understand my initial post means it's a waste of my precious time.
In that post, i clearly said, i remain a Peter Obi supporter as he is the only hope for Nigeria now, but never to be address as part of the movement called Obidient
If you couldn't understand that simple statement, how will you understand if i decide to start telling you what Obi did to make his money.
Anyways, he didn't push drugs like Tinubu and that is certain

Abacha made him a wealthy man.

Allowing contrabands and receiving bribes at the ports.

Where did I even mentioned Obi was a billionaire by then?
And yes, i didn't exaggerate

Flangelo12:

Obi didn't meet Abacha minister until 1996.
Obi was already a millionaire in dollars in 1987 before Abacha even had a plan of overthrowing any govt.
Obi only served to help decongest the port then because it was also affecting his business and it lasted barely 2weeks.

How you people twist things need to be study
U can never find anyone in your group that is honest
I spit

Understand my point. I didn't say you exagerated. I said, "lets assume". I was trying to address their obsession of Peter Obi

Okay, that was by the way.

What I am really interested in, is the question many obidient have been running away from in the last 2 years. The same way you want to also run away by using the excuse below.

I summary, what are the legitimate things Obi did to have:

Whether u have an eye problem or there is issue with your education.
The year in question is 1984 when he graduated from school
In 1984, naira to dollar was almost equivalent as naira was slightly stronger.

So what is your point?

Please point me to it

No need for insults. Just back up your claims with facts and honesty.

Where did you hear he was a billionaire in USD?
Secondly, what exactly (what business) did he do to achieve that?

Just because the person u support pushed drugs and he gave up his crew just to avoid getting jailed doesn't mean everyone else is involved in drug business.
Yes, people made their money legit.
Have you heard of HEINZ products (poor man pikin like you will never know)🤣
Obi was the sole importer and distributor of that product in the entire west Africa in the 90s
It means in the entire west Africa, no other person can import that product directly from the company. You must buy from him. That was the status Obi held then.

I rest here
The ignorance and illiteracy with you guys is too down for my level.

Please which year did Obi graduate from the university?

Did u even go to school at all?
Cos i don't understand how simple statement is an issue for u.

Obidients want to whitewash him.

Peter Obi finished with a 3rdClass in Philosophy at UNN.

There's a reason he put his GCE as highest qualification when running in 2023.

He didn't finish with a 2nd Class. No matter how long you repeat that lie.

Now that you have brought drugs into the matter. I hope you are aware that Obi was accused also doing drugs when his mates were studing in the university? That is why I want you to tell me what exactly, he did as an undergraduate that made him rich because according to this thread, even though never proven, he was doing what you are accusing another person of:

https://www.nairaland.com/7834708/saint-peter-obi-unfurling-drug

There is also the unproven claim that Obi's father died as a result of an attack on him by a rival gang. The claim is still that it may be Obi's rival gang.

https://www.nairaland.com/7325557/how-obis-father-died

So since you claim to know Obi very well, I ask you again to be a billionaire. This is not the first time I am asking the question and on each occassion the answers are never really satisfactory and often end in insults Here is one of such occassions in the past.

9jatriot:
Everytime I hear this lie, I always quick come to ask, "What does Obi do for a living after leaving office as governor?, also what was he doing for a living that made him a so-called billionaire?


Which 3 banks oga?

Now you claim, he was an importer of HEINZ, the question is, if you go to Alaba market or Onitcha market, there are known importers there, Obi is not known anywhere to be a big importer, so you guys should stop this yeye lie.

Non be only the whole of West Africa, you for say the whole world.

Any class of degree back then and even today guarantees one a job

Even with this his claim, there is no independent way to verify it.

It was he who first claimed Abacha told him personally to handle port decongestion. No previous record of that anywhere. Later, he denied ever meeting Abacha in person.

The same mouth that made the first statement, did a U-turn and made a completely contradictory statement.
