1.) That Pandora talk has no weight, you know it, everybody knows it.

Mind you, the Pandora papers did not said Peter Obi stole money.


Pandora papers was not about who stole money or not. It was about rich and famous people in the world, including politically exposed people that operated offshore bank accounts in tax haven countries. So get your facts correct to start with.


And the date the Pandora Papers quoted that Peter Obi opened the offshore bank account was before he ventured into politics, it was before he became Anambra state Governor, so how a private citizen decides to save his personally earned income does not concern anybody. World billionaires, including Americans operate offshore bank accounts in tax haven countries to avoid being taxed for their savings.


So if at all the Pandora papers were correct, Obi committed no single crime by deciding to save his personal income earned from doing private businesses for decades in a bank account he opened in a country that doesn't tax investors, that's smart move.


2.) Demanded 7 billion ke, lol, you guys are funny. Peter Obi have consistently challenged everybody on public media to come out and tell the world if he has collected or asked for a dime from anybody ever since he left as Anambra state Governor. He even rejected pension that other rich ex Governors, including Bola Tinubu still collect till today, Obi rejected it from Anambra state, saying he doesn't need it, that he has served and gone. Can you say same for Bola Tinubu who held Lagos state in captivity ever since he left office he has been the one selecting Governors, House of Assembly members, LGA Chairmen, Counsillors, Commissioners, and collecting Lagos tax.

3.) Invested Anambra state money in his family Brewery business?

First, most of you are misinformed due to unbridled hatred. That brewery does not belong to Peter Obi or his family. It's a South African owned brewery, a giant multinational company. Read about Sabmiller Brewery here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SABMiller


Obi saw prospect in their business and bought shares there just as he bought in numerous other companies in and outside Nigeria. When he was a Governor, he was desperately looking to attract big investments to Anambra state, he approached this South African firm to come and invest in Anambra, they were not convinced that Anambra will be profitable for them, to attract them, Peter Obi promised them that Anambra state government will give them incentives and also invest in the business to give them assurance that truly Anambra state is ready to welcome investors.

That was how Peter Obi invested Anambra state money in International Breweries a South African owned giant brewery that have ended up becoming the highest non government tax payer in the whole of Anambra state today. They employ nothing less than 5000 people through direct and indirect jobs. Can you beat that? Instead of looting the money like Tinubu and other corrupt Governors, he decided to invest it wisely for the state, that is the kind of President Nigeria needs, not the President that loots our treasury for his family alone.


4.) Refused to conduct LGA elections.

Already this lie Reno Omockery sold to you guys have been debunked by both Channels TV and Arise TV through live videos.


Maybe you were a kid back then, I don't know your age, so let me help you with some background details of Anambra politics during Obi's time.


Peter Obi faced a lot of political battles as Anambra Governor. Anambra was ran by godfathers and cabals before Obi came to power. These cabals fought Obi ruthlessly when he tried to stop their feeding bottles. They bought the entire Anambra state house of Assembly who then ganged up and impeached Obi and removed him illegally. Obi didn't fight them physically because he is a man of peace who believes in rule of law. He went to court and won. It was when Obi was removed that Nigeria had her first female Governor Dame Eti-Aba who was his deputy as Governor.


They still removed him a second time, Obi went back to court again and won. So Obi never had peace as Governor to start organizing LGA election immediately he was elected. It was from one political battle to another with Anambra political cabals back then. But still he later organized the LGA elections after winning all the political battles and settling down finally even though it was a bit late.


5.) Invested billions of state funds in Orient Petroleum.

Yes he was really desperate to get Anambra state industrialized and was doing virtually everything to achieve that and he did achieved it to an extent cos Anambra state now is an industrial hub manufacturing a lot of products you even consume in Southwest without knowing that they are manufactured in Anambra state.


Back to Orient Petroleum Refinery.


The refinery actually kicked off, but stopped as a result of inter-state land dispute between Anambra state and Kogi state where it was located. The case should still be in court I think.


Also when Obi left office, they started having internal management issue plus the land dispute where the crude oil they planned to refine was being mined from.


It's a complicated issue. Check the below links to learn further

Listen bra, Peter Obi is among the few clean Nigerian politicians if not the only one self as at today. You cannot see me defend politicians like Rochas Okorocha, Orji Uzo Kalu, Ikedi Ohakim, Chimaraoke Nnamani, Anyim Pius Anyim, etc just because they are Igbo. I tell you, no other Igbo politician will enjoy the kind of support Peter Obi is enjoying among none elite Igbos who know and see their antecedents. We hate corruption and corrupt politicians even though you and your people will never agree.


Check all the Igbo politicians that once enjoyed good followership from none elite Igbos, they are mostly clean to a good extent, we dont support politicians based on how wealthy or popular they are.


Other Igbo politicians and technocrats that will enjoy this kind of support Peter Obi is enjoying among none elite Igbos are:


1.) Chief Emeka Anyaoku
2.) Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
3.) Alex Otti (if he continues the way he started)
4.) Nnamdi Kanu (yes u heard me well, that guy is a rare breed even though he have his own shortcomings like the use of vulgar words, etc but that guy is incorruptible and hate injustice)

The 6million votes that Atiku pdp had in 2023 belongs to pdp because that over 6millions votes belong to pdp because they owned the structures Atiku rode on

The over 6 million votes obi Labour Party gathered, belongs to obi, because Labour Party had no structure in 2023… so stop saying what you don’t know

floss:
It’s not about all the nonsense you wrote here, since you know more than Tinubu, Apc and their EFCC why not go and arrest him ?


You think that if Tinubu had anything on Obi, he wouldn’t cash in on that because obi is his biggest opposition ?


Sometimes common sense is not common, stop using dog sense to address important matters, every human being look for loopholes but obi has challenged you to come forward with your evidence and arrest him

LagosOrigin:
Lagos zero oil and gas production. .
But na dem make noise pass


Imo state produced 6.32 million barrels

Anambra produced 4.77 million barrels

Abia produced 3.41 million barrel of oil production.


Gas production
Lagos zero

Anambra produced 7.4 billion.

Imo produced 6.4 billion.

Abia produced 4.46 billion.

For the records
Imo state alone has the highest gas deposit in west Africa.

We are beginning to see the true leech state that produces zero contribution to our oil production but feeds fat from the national Treasury because of her former federal capital status.

Lagos will collapse if the federal government stop feeding her.

Kushites:
There was no ''Christ''. It's a Roman scam from start to finish.

Why would the ''Son of God'' come to Earth and only go to where white people are staying?

Are we not God's Creation?

Why would ''Christ'' come 2,000 years ago but we didn't hear about him until 100 years ago when the British decided to come to steal, loot, colonise and burn down our glorious civilisation?

What happened to your ''Son of God'' in 1,900 years of ignoring us?

And then all of a sudden after the British invaded to steal, it became really, REALLY important for us to be ''saved by Jesus''.

Why?

Why did it only become important 1,900 years after he supposedly came to Earth?

Why only when the British needed to loot our resources in the 1900s did it become necessary for us to be ''saved by Jesus'' and ''avoid hellfire''?

If hellfire truly exists, how come it took colonial invaders and thieves to make us aware of it, a mere century ago when they desired to steal from us, when we have been on this earth as Africans praising and honouring God and his forces of Divinity for hundreds of thousands of years?

The very idea is comically ludicrous.

sreamsense:
Please win that world award first and then hold her responsible if she no commend them. Enough of criminality that has overshadowed any positive things that comes regularly from south east. Since independence, you have been leading in this shameful acts to tarnish Nigeria name. You have contributed to spoiling Nigeria abroad than improving it. Instead of you to look inward for solution, many of you will be looking for excuses to cover them up.

They're busy pursuing investors due to tribalism and politics

Putindbutt:
I already knew you guys won't bother to read the article, you're only carried away by the headline and exactly what the media wanted to achieve and sell their papers. Her message was that Nigerians should not be generalized as criminals for the crimes of a few people. Even though she didn't mention the name of any tribe, una conscience already dey shook you. And if you think she hates you, there's nobody that has intervened and fought for your people more than Abike Dabiri.

LordTosinJ:
Look here mr man. Just say you are bitter because someone with brains spoke facts!

Proudlyomonna:
Shut up jarey,zombies be crying and wailing Obidients upandan like who dem swear for

Let them install Atiku, sensible Nigerians from all Tribes just want this tinubulation to end.

Just dey cry, dey wail,dey sorrow Obidients na your destiny

jamafa:
Give Atiku votes no problem. U think Atiku can win the presidency without south bah??

You people should wait for your turn else south and north central votes + Kaduna south is enough.

Change that born to rule mentally.

It won't work DX time 💯

Ozinlex:
Tinubu

ElSudani:
The Western Nigeria Television was taken over by the FG and became Nigerian Television, they talk as if we have not given more than we took from this fraudulent unitary system.

esnbrutality:
LAGOS was built with RESOURCES from other regions.

Go to OGUN, KWARA, OSUN, OGUN, OYO, ONDO states and develop them yourselves.

Before LAGOS is left by other tribes, you need your own COUNTRY. Can you fight for Oduduwa Republic,so you own Lagos 100%?

If not, go sleep...na NIGERIA una dey.. everyone has a right anywhere.

Tjra:
Let Obi first teach Atiku a Political lesson at their primaries then we will take him serious.

Sharpsharp00123:
tell your stories to the birds in d sky

Obi is too big to deputize anyone

If they can't give obi their ticket, let everything scatter

shortgun:
Obasanjo took Nigeria from $28 billion debt to $3 billion in 8 years.
That's a president who fixed problems.

Tinubu in just 2 years has borrowed a staggering $70 billion and counting.

He even borrowed $800 million loan to "cushion" the effect of subsidy removal... the same subsidy removal we were supposed to save from and that was meant to reduce spending?
If this isn’t madness, what is?

shortgun:
You removed subsidy and you have borrowed more than all presidents before you combined.
At the end of Tinubu's regime he will surely be sent to jail.

As at today, Tinubu has borrowed over N180 Trillion with nothing to show for it, after removing fuel subsidy!

zinaunreal:
Do you even know my tribe? That's how you jump everywhere and you left your state to claim a federal property like lagos. Fix your state stop jumping everywhere.

zinaunreal:
Keep forcing it but everybody knows lagos belongs to all Nigerians. If you dont like it go back to your state and develop it. Look how chronically underdeveloped, unkempt and local other yoruba states are . you are depending on lagos for validation of your tribe.. Lagos is for everybody. Funny thing is that is how these other western states would look like in the next 100 years because underdevelopment is just natural with you people. Even outside Nigeria a densely populated state like port novo in Benin republic its thesame story you see. Underdeveloped its just natural for you people to live like that

Hankim:
Nah, Lagos belong to Nigeria. Go and develop your state and leave Lagos alone

zinaunreal:
Lagos is a no man's land. Funny thing the people advocating for this land are not even from there. Go back to your own yoruba states and develop it because its looking very untidy. The only developed state in the west is lagos. The rest are pure villages, core villages.

Sheuns:
Can someone from Ibadan go to Ogbomoso to become Soun and those in Ogbomoso will allow him because he is from the Southwest?

Mrfixitt:
Obi beat him in 2023 squarely but he was rigged in but this time around,he will be check mated. Tinubu is already gone

The real cowards are those who didn't fight any war but are busy being envious of those that fought a war and have recovered to the disappointment of those that wished them evil
