UAE With Population Of 9.6 Million Generates More Electricity Than Nigeria by Nobody:
United Arab Emirates with a population Of 9.6 million people generates 10,200 megawatts of electricity, which is more than than the 5420 megawatts peak Nigeria recently hit.

Prior to 1961 it had neither running water nor electricity. Dubai didn't get electricity, or its first paved road, until 1961. Running water arrived a few years later.

This is due to the effects of visionary leadership and the judicious use of oil revenue.

The TERRORISTS from Futa Jalon, together with the Europeans that install them in power, won't allow Nigeria to develop above & beyond their manipulation. Mentioning their names is considered HATE SPEECH.

Peter Obi, by personal records, is far SUPERIOR to all the rogues you've mentioned, that frustrate Nigeria's Economic Development.

Yeah, nigeria has never been blessed with good leaders.
PDP = APC.

We should elect better leaders.

Nigerian generals - oleeeeeeeeeeeee.

Obasanjo alone spent sixteen billion dollars on electricity and produced nothing.
Other generals are nuisance like him.

UAE with a population of 9.6 million people generates more annual revenue and electricity than Nigerian with a population of 180 million people.

We started development around the same period from 1960.

Peter Obi is no different from Tinubu,Atiku,Orji Kalu etc. He just has a good media team to push the propaganda he is the best thing since slice bread. Go around Anambra and show me the portable water,electricity,road still standing,hospitals that can attend to his medical needs,drainage and sewage plants he constructed.

UAE with a population of 9.6 million people annual budget is $49 billion dollars, about $14 billion dollars more than Nigeria's budget with a population of 180 million people. Nigeria's parliament passed a record 10.59 trillion naira ($35bn) budget for 2020.And we started from the same position in 1960.

The effects of having visionary leadership cannot be underestimated.

Nigeria politics is just too dirty... People like Obi and Gej shouldn't have involved themselves in politics

Plz Ruud, dint ever drag Peter Obi, he is far more a leader than all the rogues u mentioned. I am from that state. I know how Anambra was before Peter Obi. He became Anambras Midas touch.

Plz Peter obi is on an elevated plane of governance and I believe if he had/has better financial resources like the Sheikh, he would do greater things. That guy single handly turned and reinvigorated Anambra's fortune, you dont need a better media team for the locales to sing your praise. Your work speaks for you.

Anambra locals are very very critical, if you dont work, their criticisms would be written large over the net. Peter Obi will not drag huge crowds whenever he visits a market if He did not perform. Imagine Ngige or Mgbadinuju visiting a market five years away from their tenure?


Nigeria should be in the league of UAE bit we dont select leaders based on proven competence. We are swayed mostly by primordial instincts and it has kept us in the doldrums of under development for long. Some pple say its colonialism that kept us underdeveloped, UAE and Qatar were once under British rule is often my reply

People in APC,PDP and APGA should be banned from governance at local,state and federal level for the country to move forward. Do you know UAE has invested enough money, so as not be dependent on oil revenue 30 years from now. While Nigeria's current leaders are eating the future of a nation, whose population is projected to be 400 million people by 2050.

I have the following questions:

1) When Peter Obi does his annual medical checkup, which hospital in Anambra does he go?
2) When he turns on his tap is the water from Anambra Water Corporation?
3) Can he send any of his children to any of the public schools or university in Anambra?
4) When he flushes his toilet, is there an underground sewage treatment plan it is disposed off?
5) Can he move around the state without a security convoy?
6) Can Anambra state residents boast of 24 hour electricity?

Should candidates from Republicans and Democrats in USA be banned?

How about Conservative and Labour party in UK?

Like comparing darkness and light.

The Republicans,Democrats,Conservative and Labour party members built the greatest civilizations ever created in mankind , that people from Nigeria are risking their lives crossing the Sahara Desert and Mediterrean Sea to get to.

While PDP,APC and APGA created the worst civilization that is the poverty and corruption capital of the world that lacks basic amenities and is a failed state.
