The question to ask is what is there in Ibo land to invest in? What is going to be the attraction in Ibo land for anyone to come to, when we know that once you have a problem with govt, the first thing you are looking for to destroy is non-indigenes properties like you always burn Dangote trucks anytime you want to do your madness.

There is absolutely no reason to invest in an hostile environment like igboland
Why then do you request for appointments. Should we come and take your unambitious as.s from your rusted roofs in ogbomoso and force the appointment on you?

DDeliverer:
Atiku 2019 - 2023.

Peter Obi 2023 - 2031.

Kwankwoso 2031- 2035

Hope Uzodinma 2035 - 2043

Sule 2043-2047

Chukwuma 2047-2058...
So you skipped the so called Afonja from your list.

This might sound good to anybody who loves Obi or is deluded. But the OP's angle is not true.
The truth is that it is easy to fan anti-Igbo flames in the north. With the history between the two tribes. Obi is being targeted simply because he is Igbo. Na market wey dey easy to spoil.
The people who are spoiling his market don't need to hate or envy him. But if you look at the events of the last two three years under Buhari with Kanu's wahala and all, you can see why it is so easy to do.

Most northerners and indeed Nigerians in general are illiterates so things like this always work.
Buhari and Atiku are both Fulanis. And Atikus corrupt image is already well known. If you place him beside Buhari, he will lose any day. Now they have moved on to attacking his running mate. That's the next level.

The next thing after that now is they will say Atiku is pro Biafra with all that restructuring thing he says he supports. Illiterate northerners no like hear the word.

Peter Obi is just market that is easy to spoil in the north. That's all. He understands it, I am sure. You sef, try reason things from ordinary illiterate northerner angle.
It's just the struggle to rule illiterate masses that's going on here.
I understand ur assertions n u do have a point. But I've lived many yrs in d North to also know that poverty n suffering knows no religion n tribe. These same northerners have never seen this level of suffering like under PMB. There were verifiable cases of men that sent home their wives n retained only one, promising to come back for them when their income become as it was during d PDP yrs, during this recession.

So this same North can shock APC n PMB. They were madly in love with him in 2015. Now he has ruled n they have seen d true picture of him ( it's obvious to everyone esp northers that he's not in charge of this govt n doesn't really know what's happening around him n in his govt). El-rufai n APC are this arrogant because of d massive followership of PMB in 015 but 019 may shock them.
Because PMB is really not in charge as a result of age. These guy's around him n in APC are drumming he should come back as a result of them personal interests. They can loot n take advantage of their positions because he's never really gonna find out.
Just look at how they have derailed his fight against corruption. He's just recovering looted funds n chasing political enemies.

How did Dankwanbo win in PDP in 2015 in d Northeast??. Simply he was paying all salaries when APC states that were his neighbors were owing several months. So d people smartly voted for PMB in presidential election n reverted back to PDP in gubernatorial.
I can tell u that after the presidential elections in 015 PMB came to Gombe to campaign for Apc to get governorship. The people threw pure water at him in front of d Emir's palace.

El-rufai n APC issue with Obi is making many nigerians see the true character of the people ruling us. It's just a shame. Even my PMB fans can't defend El-rufai in this calumny.


Obi is far more exposed n enlightened than the likes of El-rufa and Garba Shehu!

He was PAN kaduna no 1 customer as a gov. He used 406 from kaduna as official car as a gov. What even Kaduna Gov n other northern Govs ain't sensible n prudent enough to do.

He was one of the first Gov in southern Nigeria to do business with Jaiz bank (an Islamic bank) because they gave him better terms than so called 'christian commercial banks'

Think am first, u can't have the kind of entrepreneural mind he has n succeed in business and still be nepotic n tribalistic. How naahuh
It just doesn't make sense people.
It's like accusing a yoruba man that left his village n relocated to a village in Northeast in pursuit of business n customers. Wont it be silly accusing such of tribalism.huh


When u hear a man u can read his soul or core to an extent!

We used to hear PMB B4 his return to power n felt he myb sectional n nepotic, today same is bedeviling his Govt.

When u hear Fashola u can easily Know that this man is just better of as a professional n regional leader. If he's made president u can be sure he's gonna be too rigid & sectional. Same with Kwankwaso n El-rufai.

But When u listen to Atiku, Osibanjo,Tambuwal, Saraki etc. U can be sure that they will better unite n galvanise the country. Of course they may have other baggages but u can't accuse them of being sectional.

My dr when u really listen to Obi u will know he's above sectionalism n tribalism. The other time he was lamenting in US-Nig business submit about Zamfara( with population of 5m) just having about 100 students in total for neco in a yr with a passing rate of just 24/100. Meanwhile other states are having over 200,000 for same exam. Only for their former Gov to marry a minor young enough to be his granddaughter, divorced her shortly n is ready to die in d Senate in defence of child marriage. Whitout regards to her education n progration in life. He said then he's not from Zamfara but every section of d country is important to him.
Note: he said this years ago B4 d primaries n all that.


So just forget about the NL miscreants screaming 'Igbo Amaka'. The real n most igbos ain't tribal really. U can't be as adventurous n entrepreneurial as they are n be looking at tribalism. To them business minds it's all business n profit/ loss. Any one/tribe/colour/religion etc that can deal with them in business is the their brother period

So all the bullets shot at Peter obi did not penetrate, they have to look for someone else.

They tried corruption, it did not work.

They tried bigotry, it did not work.

They had to move on.

Nigerian Youths, if you know u want a Nigeria where your ideas and dreams become a reality, make sure Peter obi finds his way up there.

The North welcomes him.

Re: Why Peter Obi Is Taking The Bullet. by mekaboy(op): 5:35pm On Dec 03, 2018
You can now see from the video, that Peter obi is hated even by the so called reverend fathers, because he is not the regular money sharing politician.

He believes in value for money. He rather create real Jobs than employ sycophants to praise him for doing nothing.

You can see how frustrated father mbaka was for failing to manipulate obi to make donation for endorsement.

Obi will rather loose the election, than make a fraudulent donation.

This is the type of person that can cut the cost of governance and get our economy moving. This is the type we can trust with our nation's resources.

This is the man Nigeria needs today.

Mbaka thought he disgraced obi, but ended up showing obis leadership capability.

He will rather steal alone than share, exactly how he stole our LGA funds for 8 years. How he stole our 250 million his aide was caught with in Lagos. We are not moved by his sweet mouth as stated by Rev Mbaka

Peter Obi is the hungry politician. Bianca Ojukwu once described him as food is ready politician while Ngige described him as a political trader.

But Obi performed wonders in Anambra state. What did Obiano do asides the amawbia flyover? How many investors did Obiano attract?
How much has he saved for Anambra indigenes?

A hungry politician does not save for a state, he eats all. Anambra has not savings but debt under Willie obiano. Yet obi has more infrastructure to his name than obiano.

Here we go again, either your just dumb or like to argue for argument purposes. Pray tell what infrastructure does Peter Obi have to his name after 8 years? Even Soludo told us that Peter Obi never completed any signature project after 8 years. Do you know how many Obiano has completed?
Also saving does not amount to good governance, Peter Obi was only claiming to save Anambra money his fidelity bank to shore up their capital while taking all the accrued interests. We know these things. The best governors are not those that saved but those that transformed their state and people. Governors like Akpabio, Obiano, Chime, Fashola etc.
Do you know how much America owes? Your a novice

Mention the wonders Peter Obi did in Anambra that we are not aware of. Mention the investors he attracted during his tenure that everyone was running out of the state due to kidnapping and insecurity. Mention the signature projects? At least Obiano restores security to Anambra. What did Peter Obi do apart from saving our money in his fidelity bank and taking all the interests? I’m waiting

You have not been to Anambra neither are you from there so kindly stop acting like a hater.
His Achievements are littered all over the place for people to see. By the way have you been to Onitsha lately? Head bridge precisely?
Thieves everywhere and the state now smells from Awka to Onitsha thanks to Obiano.

Obiano is a curse to Anambrarians

Shut up and mention the achievements or projects. Peter Obi brainwashed supporters will always tell you Peter Obi did wonders and won’t mention the things Obi did. As if we were not all in Anambra during his tenure. Anambra was the kidnapping capital of Nigeria during Obis tenure, that’s a fact. All our rich men ran out of the state. Today they are all back! Keep fooling yourself
