helienus:
Obi won the 2023 election.

Without ordinary agents in over 60% of the polling units?

Oga, Armatem don cost but you can get Dongoyaro leaves to cure you Malaria.

meobizy:
All these lie lie stories Seun posts here for “engagement.” When proved to be false, he never posts the retraction.

Eeyah!

Aunty, let us collabo to form a foundation named " Girls, close your legs for God's sake".

E be like say dis thing pain you no be small.

Grown-up men are taking advantage of girls wey don spoil finish?

Oga, it is the girl's that are talking advantage of grown up men.

Just like I said on another thread, if Obi had said " Whether my government owed or not, government is a continuum". That would have settled this immediately.

But of course, you cannot give what you don't have.

Heffalump:
Soludo will be so amazed about the emergence of Mr. Obi. He thinks as a man he has the power to change what God has decided. If you argue with God, you die miserably like Buhari.

Buhari died miserably?

Una no go kee person with English made in that una 5 plots of land.
The former president or your imaginary Jibrin from Sudan.

The type of life that Buhari' s son is leaving now, can only be an imagination to any of your generation.

I have nothing against you. All I advice is, make use of a dictionary when next you want to comment.

Amumaigwe:
Obi didn't notice. He is busy in Kaduna conducting town hall meetings with HE RMK.

No be town hall meetings. Na village Square conference. Someone wey dey Central Mosque dey watch time to lead 1pm prayer.

Go and verify.

KingOfAmebo:
See this one, Tinubu and Atiku people created a Twitter account and named it ANAMBRA STATE MEDIA to attack Peter Obi...

I like how Peter Obi is now more popular than APC and PDP politicians combined...


Meanwhile, Let me quickly press the necks of APC supporters with Peter Obi's achievements as Governor in Anambra state:...

FUNDAMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE (PARTIAL LISTING)

1. Anambra was the first State to commence Sub-Sovereign Wealth savings, the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. At a time many other Governors were leaving huge debts, I left the equivalent of $500 million Dollars in investment as well as local and foreign currency, including $156 million in Dollar-denominated bonds.

2. For the first time in the history of Anambra State, Ambassadors and High Commissioners of notable countries such as United States, Britain, Russia, European Union, South Africa, Belgium, Israel, the Netherlands, Canada, among others, visited the State. Before my tenure, Anambra was practically a pariah state blacklisted by the Diplomatic Corps and international development partners.

3. Development partners such as UNDP, UNICEF, the World Bank, DFID, the European Union etc., which hitherto were not in Anambra State started working with the State. Anambra was consistently adjudged one of the best states in development partnership and commitment to reforms for good governance.

4. He was recognised as Best Governor by the Millennium Development Goals Office (OSSAP-MDGs) and the UNDP in the implementation of their programmes in Nigeria.

5. The Nigerian Debt Management Office (DMO) rated Anambra as the least indebted state in Nigeria. In spite of visible and measurable achievements recorded in various sectors, the State under him did not borrow or raise bonds for her various projects.

6. The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria rated Anambra State as the most financially stable state in the country.

7. The State's ground-breaking return of schools to their original owners - Voluntary Agencies (Churches) on 1st January 2009, and subsequent partnership with the Agencies in Education, saw the State move from 24th position out of 36 States to Number One in National Examination Council (NECO) and West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations for three consecutive years. This made the World Bank to commission a study, led by the renowned Prof. Paul Collier of Oxford University, on this revolutionary partnership and phenomenal achievement.

8. The State also entered into strategic partnership with the Churches in the Health sector. This symbiotic relationship resulted in a tremendous boost to health care because of the services offered by health institutions owned by Voluntary Agencies, while the State restored grants to the agencies and made available to them more than 50 million Dollars in various types of support.

10. Through partnership with the Church in the Health sector, his Government funded the transformation of -:

a: Iyienu Hospital, Ogidi;
b: Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala;
c: St Charles Borromeo Hospital, Onitsha;
d: Holy Rosary Hospital, Waterside, Onitsha; and
e: St. Joseph Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu.
His Government also built the Joseph Nwilo Heart Centre in St. Joseph, Adazi-Nnukwu, where heart operations are now being performed.

11. His Government won the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (1 Million dollars) as the best-performing state in immunisation in the South-East. With complementary funding from our Government, they used the money to build 10 Maternal and Child Care Centres across the State, particularly in rural communities, in partnership with the Churches.

12. The State was the first to procure and distribute more than 30,000 computers to secondary schools, including 22,500 from HP. The Managing Director for Personal Systems Group HP Inc, Mr. FabriceCampoy described the deployment as the biggest of such projects in the Middle-East and Africa.

13. Anambra State Government provided Microsoft Academies to more than 500 secondary schools, which the Head of Microsoft in Nigeria (Mr. Ken Span) described as the biggest such deployment in Africa so far.

14. The State provided Internet access to more than 500 secondary schools, which the CEO of Galaxy Backbone (Mr. Gerald Ilukwe) characterized as incomparable to any in the country.

15. More than 700 buses were provided to secondary schools in the State by our Government.

16. Boreholes were provided in schools all over the State.

17. Numerous classrooms were built in all the 177 communities of the State.

18 As part of the efforts to turn around the economy of the State, a number of companies were attracted to build their facilities in the Anambra State. A case in point is SABMiller, the 2nd largest brewery in the world, which built their first Green Field facility in the State, which is today one of the most successful facilities they operate globally.

19. A number of other companies followed the SABMiller initiative and were all supported and encouraged under our Government; a good example is INNOSON Motor Manufacturing Company, from which our government bought more than 1,000 vehicles.

20. Anambra State for the first time started close collaboration with recognized government security agencies (the Police, Army, Navy, Department of State Security, Civil Defence, among others), offering them various types of support including provision of more than 500 security vehicles. The improvement in security was phenomenal, such that the former IG of Police (Abubakar Mohammed) lauded Anambra State for not witnessing any bank robbery in my last three years in office.

21. To further enhance security, Anambra State provided at least one security vehicle to each of all the 177 communities in the State as well as various organizations such as markets and Churches.

22. His Administration conceived and built, from scratch, the first state-owned Teaching Hospital, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu teaching Hospital, Awka.

23. His Government commenced the planned development of the Igbariam Campus of the ChukwuemekaOdumegwu-Ojukwu University, including the fencing, construction of internal roads, electrification, construction of the Faculty of Law, Auditorium, Administrative Block, Faculty of Agriculture, Management Building, among others).

24. His Government attracted the World Bank support on erosion - National Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) - to Anambra State.

25. His Government was the first to do Poverty Mapping in Nigeria, as a guide for the effective implementation of our poverty-alleviation strategies.

26 His Government, for the first time, undertook the aerial mapping of Awka as well as the production of Structure Plans for Awka Capital Territory, Onitsha and Nnewi.

27. During his tenure and with his Government's support, Anambra State became an oil producing State.

28. He built the first Secretariat Complex to house State Government Ministries that were hitherto scattered around the State.

29. His government commenced the development of the 'Three Arms Zone' comprising Government House/Governor’s Lodge, Legislative Building/Speakers Residence, and Judiciary Building with Chief Judge’s Residence.

30. By the end of his tenure in 2014, more than twelve (12) health institutions, including two hospitals, had secured accreditation; when we took off in 2006, no health institution in Anambra State was duly accredited.

31. Anambra State was the first to undergo national peer review, which scrutinised State Governments for good governance, through the State Peer Review Mechanism (SPRM), an initiative of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum in collaboration with the DFID..

TAKE AWAY:

1. He ran the most secured state in Nigeria during his tenure. Former IGP Abubarkar gave him 5 years accollades of the most secured state back to back for 5 years.

2. The minister of works then gave him the best accolade of a governor that built 800km of road network in 8years

3. Educationally , He met Anambra at 26th position in 2006 and left it at 1st by 2014 when he was leaving.

4. He was the only governor that met the millennium development goal in Nigeria in both education and health. In fact , Milinda and bill gate foundation gave him a personal gift of 1 million dollar for his achievement. Which he dropped in the state account rather than putting in his own private account.

5. He is the only former governor today that does not collect pension, gratuity, land gift and allowances since he left the govt in 2014.

6. When he became SEC chairman under President Jonathan, he told SEC to hold back all his allowance and entitlement as a Board chairman . He left without nothing. He said he does not need them.

When he was chairman of fidelity bank , he was entitled to two brand new cars annually. He told the board. I don't need them. Let me just come for meetings and go home.

You can only be angry with him. You cannot change the facts.

Here's a link to some projects executed and completed by Peter Obi as governor of Anambra State?

https://www.nairaland.com/7313723/some-projects-done-peter-obi

Go and verify and vote wisely...

What does it profit a man to get all these without a mere credit in English and Mathematics at O' level? As at then, and till now, that result is failure.

announcement:
Sir, this is pure evil. Is it not better to invest in MMM (Ponzi scheme) and be at peace incase anything negative happens?

Why give license to any company that will not fit to be in the market, thereby endangering the funds of investors in such companies? And when the government decides to shut down such companies, the only wicked way they can go about it is to shut down the company with the fund of INNOCENT investors.

If the government doesn’t give these companies License to operate, investors wouldn’t had invested in them.

You are being sentimental.by calling it evil. Businesses fail everywhere. Billionaires all over the world file for bankruptcy.

When the winds of life come against an individual or a business Omoh, WHO have not discovered a vaccine for that oo.

When Buhari said the same thing, he was labeled.

Now,.their Lord and Saviour has said it and it suddenly becomes.the best thing after the existence of AI.

Hypocrisy has it's headquarters in Nigeria and in a particular region.

Kalashnikov49:
Remi Tinubu na Deaconess that frys Akara but has a watch worth half a billion.

And the wife of your Lord and Saviour is what carrying which bag?

Pootle:
his a kafri to the north and they will never allow such a person to rule over them

Was Obj not a Kafri?

Matthew for that matter

orikoku:
If I no vote Obi come 2027, make I bend.

You have not done enough. A supporter has said make hin die.

From there to the Central Mosque for Obi to go and lead the evening prayer.

What Nigerian politics cannot turn you to does not exist.

Your age mates are contesting for Governorship and you are creating content at your age.

Rocky247:
If he had bought Bitcoin that time with 20k, he would worth billions of naira naira now but who knew

Why didn't you buy then?

Nairaland billionaire.

dgitrader:
Using the documented 2007 public offer as the best proxy for "~20 years ago" (Fidelity's earliest listing in May 2005 was via bank merger, not a cash public offer — the first real public offer was Sept–Nov 2007 at ₦8 per share):
Units bought:
₦20,000 ÷ ₦8 = 2,500 shares
Value today (using recent trading levels around ₦19–20.50/share):
2,500 × ₦19.20 ≈ ₦48,000
2,500 × ₦20.50 ≈ ₦51,250
So a straightforward, no-dilution, no-dividend-reinvestment estimate puts the raw share value today at roughly ₦48,000–₦51,000 — call it ₦50,000 as a round number.


What's not adding up?

Thanks for this analysis.

Who does not know that the red agama lizard was untruth?

Except, of course the gullible Mumu on the social media who can never do a simple research.
By their berret,you shallk know them.

[quote author=Kewtt post=140706555][/quote]Most of them.will.

"My name is Tony Elumelu will. They gat no excuse.

The new cowboy in the industry will want to endare himself to shareholders..his own case will just be a matter of " give shareholders crumbs so that they can allow you concentrate on the buffet".

Apostle, Pastor Jim can never disappoint.

It has been a while from Fidelity. They should.

happney65:
Exactly. He is from saki where the former minister came from. The former minister too is a religious bigot. And the only LG in oyo state that votes on religion basis is that LG he came from in oke ogun. They are full of religious bigotry.

The yeye boy spends most of hs time in Lagos o. Infact he pratically lives in Lagos and he hasmt attended more than 20 sessions of the state house of assembly

A confirm nonesense boy he is

Unfortunately, they will still vote.for him.

Only God knows what he might have done for them during Salllah and the rest.

Angelfrost:
Any and every candidate that puts emphasis on religion has absolutely no business leading a multi-cultural and multi-religious nation like Nigeria.

You should have considered this before saying " they are backward".

Stylish retraction is okay.

If only Obi had been smart enough instead of shouting " go and verify" everywhere.

oyoofong:
I am calling on all peace loving people of Oyo State to vote out this guy!

Everyone would have loved to but he is from an area where they are predominantly Muslim.

Just like the other Sheik Jingir or Gumi, these lots have the people in their pockets.

Angelfrost:
Meaning Christianity will suffer if a Muslim is voted in...!

Just like that, it's no longer about competence or leadership, but solely about religion.

If I call una backward, una go say my own too much.

A presidential candidate who said election is a religious war is more backward if you want to be honest.

Imagine a president like that..........

Is he related to the one that used Bia Bia to deceive Buhari and later became Minister of Communication?

I just want to check something.

Michaelmercy:
Na the day you decide to contest for an important elective position, you yourself go discover new things about yourself. LOL politics so crazy

It is most likely you discover:

1. You are from Sudan just like Jibrin.
2. You are a product of a surrogate parent.
3. You are even a clone.

Nothing beats Naija politics and politicians.

RISQUE:
Them go still come defend am and still install am as Governor

Just the way some people still defended and installed the clown that went begging on his kneels inside Okija shrine.

Zico5:
I have never seen any prominent Ekiti personality that's Muslim. 98% of indigenes are Christians. You can prove me wrong

Then the remaining 2% are ghosts.

Clap for your self.

Before you say rubbish, remember the case of Evan Enwerem and Evans Enwerem .

If you are unsure, contact your uncles.

BabsO2:
Banks it's less than 2 weeks to go in September. Where are the audited reports and dividend announcements?

Dem dey booda Yemi's table.

But like their annoucers always say at Lekan Salami stadium during sooting stars matches " the orange shall bear sweet fruits". Dun dun l'osan o so.

Unfortunately, the aim of being the first to comment via a stupid comment did not come to pass.

It shall be well with you even in your valley of stupidity

The church of God is moving forward and the gate of hell in whatever form will not prevail against it.

Freetech:
5 months to the presidential election. This is a great achievement

But where did they get the onlinevotes that placed opposition ahead of APC?

Atiku and Obi are truly content creators

It is not difficult to get something to deceive the gullible opposition we have. Afterall Ikemefuna Van Basten is still cashing out.

rummmy:
Someone worked and retired around 70 years and died because his gratiutes were not paid to him..
My brother that human been chosed to die ..
What did he achieve while working?
Salary no reach you,na over time wan reach you..

Meanwhile Apc and soludo are just looking for a way to demonize Peter obi ..
But the more they try,the more they are promoting him...
They are the once campaigning for obi

No one is demonizing your Lord and Saviour. It is his statement, " go and verify" that is demonizing him. A simple answer as " even if I owed debt, Government is a continuum" would have settled it for ever. But, you cannot give what you don't have.

jmoore:
I thought it was over 1 million that died.

Exactly.. just like your Lord and Saviour, the death is not enmass. After all, when the doctors were on strike, plenty people no die.
