What of Paul Biya, Bola Tinubu and William Ruto in Kenya, why are the west against this man

owobokiri:
Absolute bunkum! Troare is working for his people to the best of the countrys finances. This is a country that has been looted to the ground by a bunch of military officers imposed by France. The same country responsible for Frances high gold reserves. France and her imperialists cousins should free Africans. Enough should be Enough! No amount of barefaced propaganda will sway the public opinion against Traore. All these write up being dropped at the speed of light are paid for by the neo colonialists..

The west is planning to assassinate this man the same way they did Thomas Sankara. The same western world that kept quiet while Blaise Campoare looted Burkina Faso to the ground. They have already finished their plans but are now waiting for hired writers to prepare the minds of ordinary Africans before unleashing their plans. And as is always the case, we have a bunch of hopeless and hapless young Africans willing to sell their soul for a pot of porridge, as they write all sorts of trashy articles against a young man that has put his life on the line for his people.. It is a shame

ivandragon:
You are the one who has refused to reason like a sane human should.

The purchasing power of the governors has significantly reduced and I will prove it to you.

OkCornel:
Answer these questions and stop foaming in the mouth.

IGBOPROMISE1:
So can we have similar findings for other states in the country….especially Tinubu and Sanwo-Olus’ south-west states!? Anyone got data on those ones!?

I find it amusing….perplexing even, that a country like Nigeria that operates a unitary system of gov’t in all but name, and one where a malevolent, parochial, bigoted and powerful centre sabotages the economic prospects of certain states or regions based on ethnicity, religion and voting pattern, like we saw the Buhari gov’t do with Anambra and derivation payments in lieu of her oil production….that given the aforementioned, someone that’s up to no good would be asking a sub-unit of the whole, that has little or no federal presence or federal projects, to miraculously buck the trend obtainable in other states that are even more favoured by the centre and existing status-quo!

A fair assessment would be to check if the poverty rate in Anambra was growing year-on-year before Peter Obi became governor, and, if not reversed, whether the poverty rate was either slowed or halted during his his tenure as governor! Such an assessment should also mention how he fared in other indices of development and not just the poverty rate.

ivandragon:
I honestly don't understand these guys. It seems that they do not want anyone pointing out issues. They did same for buhari and look at were Nigerians are today.

Even when it is glaring that the issues they point to are more beneficial to foreigners than the nationals, they still parrot it as achievement. Achievements that worsen the plight of the masses.

OkCornel:
Why are slaves passionate in defending their slave masters desperately?

Nigerians have no reason to suffer hunger and hardship. All these things are self inflicted by the sellouts who call themselves your leaders

TimeManager:
Lol, pity his yansh , abeg.


-Kiss the truth!

EmiloCorn:
Yes he is. But Nigerians are waiting for them to throw tinubu in jail first before they look at Peter obi even if Peter is a bigger thief.

Too many hypocrits in Nigeria

EmiloCorn:
Yes it is true. Obi is a very big failure. no matter how poor my oga's policies make Nigerians to become before 2031 they can never become as poor as those people in anambra that suffered the Peter obi era.

EmiloCorn:
Yes. Even though sanwo is messing up and allowing others to malign obasa he is making sense here.

He has shown that Peter obi left everybody in Nigeria poor today. Obi is the cause of our woes from A - Z. Why did he run from apuga and enter PDP.

Findings by FactCheckHub show that the claim is TRUE.

Poverty is generally defined as a state of being poor.

The 2010 Poverty report by National Bureau of Statistics captures poverty rates across Nigeria based on three different approaches namely: Absolute Poverty Approach, Relative Poverty Approach and Dollar per day.

According to the report, which documents the average poverty headcount rate across Nigerian states, Anambra recorded 53.7% poverty rate between 2009-10 when Obi was the governor of the state.

Between 2003-2004 before Obi became the governor, the poverty rate in the state stood at 41.4% meaning that the figure increased by about 28% under Peter Obi

FactCheckHub could not access the poverty report for the period when Obi left the office in March 2014 because the National Bureau of Statistics did not release subsequent poverty reports until 2020. The report shows that Anambra’s poverty rate reduced to 14.8% in 2019.

THE VERDICT

The claim that Anambra recorded a 53.7% poverty rate under Peter Obi’s leadership as the governor of Anambra state is TRUE, according to data obtained from the National Bureau of Statistics.

“Findings by FactCheckElections revealed the (NBS) National Poverty Rates For Nigeria: 2003-04 (Revised) and 2009-10 (Abridged Report). The report showed that Anambra had 41.4% state-level headcount per capita poverty measure in 2003-04 and 53.7% in 2009-10.

“The National Poverty Rates For Nigeria: 2003-04 (Revised) And 2009-10 (Abridged Report) capture poverty rates across Nigeria with the Absolute Poverty Approach (using a per capita approach of assigning 3000 calories requirement for an adult).


“FactcheckElection can find no official data report on the poverty rate between 2011 – 2018. Aside from forecasts and predictions, there’s no absolute poverty study in those years. According to a reply tweet by Dr Yemi Kale (former statistician general of Nigeria), ‘NBS has not conducted any absolute poverty study since 2009’.

“However, there is a 2019 Poverty & Inequality in Nigeria report published by the NBS. The report showed Anambra had a poverty rate of 14.78%.”

Verdict

So what’s the status of the claim? Based on data from the (NBS), Anambra’s state-level headcount per capita poverty increased from 41.4% in 2003-04 to 53.7% in 2009-10. Peter Obi was governor between 2006 and 2014. So the claim is partly true, and we give it a banana rating. However, no official data shows the poverty rate when he left office in 2014.

The Federal Government on Tuesday at the Supreme Court denied operating Excess Crude Account (ECA).

It therefore challenged the 36 states challenging the legality of the alleged account to prove otherwise.

The case came up on Tuesday after several failed attempts for an out-of-court settlement between the warring parties.

Federating states are also challenging the transfer of $1 billion from the account to the Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF).

The court, presided by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Mahmoud Mohammed, adjourned proceedings to March 19, 2015 after the court could not locate some of the processes filed by counsel to the 36 states of the federation, Yusuf Alli.

Although Ali had urged the court for a stand down to enable him trace the process at the registrar, he was overruled by the CJN who said the court had no luxury of time to grant such a request.

Earlier, counsel from the chambers of the Attorney-General of the Federation, Mohammed Bello Adoke (SAN), Ahmed Abdulmalik informed the court that the alleged Excess Crude Account does not exist.

“The plaintiffs are deceiving themselves. They are aware that there is nothing like ECA anywhere. As soon as any money comes from the account, it is channeled into the Federation Account and shared every month among the states,” he said

“The Federal Government is at a loss as to how the states came up with their claim. The Federal Government is interested in proceeding with this case so that the states can tell the court where the ECA is domiciled. My lords, we are ready to tackle the plaintiffs in court.”

“If counsels are sincere with their clients, it’s a matter that should be resolved without the court’s intervention,” Justice Mohammed stated.

In the suit, the states stated that the conduct of the government of the federation and its officials was a violation of rule of law and a breach of the independence of the judiciary and constitutes a violation of the principles of rule of law handed down by the Supreme Court in the case of Governor of Lagos v Odumegwu Ojukwu (1986) pt 1 NSCC 304 and Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi v INEC (2008) 5 NWLR (pt 1080) 277.

In addition, they described the action of the Federal Government as executive lawlessness and impunity, saying the proposed disbursement of $1 billion by the Federal Government, its Minister of Finance and other officers would create a state of fait accompli and helplessness, if not stopped immediately.
