They commanded fire to fall from heaven during the time of Elisha they should command coro healing now

When Jesus was alive on earth, he did not heal all the sick people in Israel.

He could, but he didn't.

Get wisdom.

Where are the Muslim donations?

Or is it only to talk and constitute nuisance?

Clowns.

nkemdi89:
They should have thought over it, the service is headed by a northern muslim and they always frown against ladies trying to be active on anything social media, beside most of the girls are from influential family, I know one personally, the one on red, her father is so rich and influential. They are even less than 3 years in the job ASI 11.

Now, you got it.
It is headed by a northern Muslim.

It has nothing to do with professionalism. There is nothing professionally wrong about what those ladies did.

It even paints the force with the human face, but abokii mentality must always show.


The last thing I would be caught doing is defending abokii mentality disguised as professionalism.

In other places, this would have been a good PR for the immigration.

It would show how people friendly and jovial the force can be.

But in Nigeria, the abokii backward mentality is everywhere.

Even the so called educated ones have no inkling that they are defending backwardness and repression.

idtwo:
It is easy to reel out the names of modern aircrafts you have heard of or read about, but do you know how much those things you mentioned are sold for and do you think they are sold to just anybody or any country that wants them? You don't seem to know about sales of defense equipment.

Apart from the F-22, F-117A and the F-35, there is no jet in the American inventory that Nigeria cannot buy if we are serious.

Put serious money like $2billion cash on the table for F-18s and F-16s and see if Donald Trump would not send a trade emissary to Nigeria the next day.

The Russians would be even easier.

Money talks, policy flies out of the window.

Isinweke:
See names Nigeria is giving to this olden days jet.


Our military is designed for maintain Nigeria for our colonial masters.

There is no patriotism, no ambition.

If a former General cannot arm his country to the teeth to rival with South Africa and Egypt, then it's a crying shame.

By now, Nigeria should projecting air and sea power, right up to South Africa and even to the Mediterranean.

I can do better than all these clowns in power.

Why is Nigeria buying a turbo jet for highly inflated prices.
Obsolete turbo jets.

Why not get the SU-25, if you need weapons in that grade?

It is good to be in position of power sha.

See as that professor of medicine just dey follow sanwo olu up and down like his personal doctor.

Any small headache like this, he is the one to attend to him directly.

A whole professor of medicine.

Opinion: Why Peter Obi is not the saint

Written by Oluwatobi Bolashodun

Updated 3 years ago

Editor's note: Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra state, has been described by many as one of Nigeria's most humble governors ever. The people of Anambra love him and they hold him in very high esteem. Many have also commended his act of humility on several occasions.

Obi served as the governor of Anambra state from 17 March 2006 to 2 November 2006 and from 9 February 2007 to 29 May 2007 after his impeachment was overturned.

However Benji Obi, a former top aide to the governor in this piece reveals how the former governor may have lied to the public about his activities during his tenure as the governor of Anambra state.

Peter Obi Lies: “He Built The First Helipad At The Gov’t House, Gave Away SUV’s To Girlfriends” – Former Aide / Kinsman

The glowing ovation received by the former governor of Anambra State, Chief Peter Gregory Obi on Independence Day during his address at the Platform may have turned out to be generated based on misinformation on the part of the former governor. Information available to 247ureports.comindicates that the former governor may have lied to the audience about his activities while at the government house in Anambra State.

Revealing the manner Chief Peter Obi governed the State was his kinsman and former top aide, Benji Obi [Mbuze Agulu] and close confident. He disclosed to 247ureports.com that the address by his former boss and kinsman at the Platform on Independence Day drove him to open up on the skilled hypocrisy exhibited by Peter Obi repeatedly.

Benji Obi who served Peter Obi administration from the inception revealed that Peter Obi told a fable when he claimed to have ran a financially prudent administration. “Peter Obi increased the money for his private kitchen at the government to N2million monthly and increased the feeding for the Police Officers attached to him to N7million monthly”. But he pocketed the money. He stated that Peter lied when he said he stopped the buffet-styled dinner being served at the Government House. “What he did was to sack all the previous cooks and butlers and employed over 30 cooks/butlers/Stewart from Akwa Ibom and expanded the kitchen budget”. He continued, “The bills are still there. It is verifiable… the Akwa Ibom cooks and Stewarts were over 20… so who were they cooking for? Buffet is always there… butlers and others… Prof Emenike Obi – Principal Secretary withdraws the money every month and pays him… and it is verifiable”.

Chief Peter Obi’s reference to his banning of alcoholic beverages such as Champagne at the government house was laughed at by his kinsman who pointed to the Squash Court located inside the government house renovated by the Peter Obi administration – that was utilized by Peter Obi as a makeshift warehouse for alcoholic beverages such as the drinks his company distributes in Nigeria. The kinsman explained that Peter Obi was storing expensive alcoholic beverages purchased with state resources.

The alcoholic beverages would then be sold to outsiders directly from the makeshift warehouse. During festive periods, Peter Obi will use the beverages as gifts to select personalities across the state. The gifts would be received as coming from the state government. The kinsman revealed that a distant relative of Peter Obi by the name, Amaechi who was brought back from a monastery in Ebonyi State was made in charge of the drinks storage and distribution. Only drinks that belong to Peter Obi’s distribution company were stored at the makeshift storage facility. Interestingly, immediately Peter Obi stepped away from office, the said Amaechi opened one of the largest alcohol distribution depot in Anambra State. The depot is located behind the government house in Awka. “Amaechi is now a billionaire – opened a liquor distributorship behind the government house”.

Benji Obi did not hold back in pointing out the uncanny inconsistency between Peter Obi’s testament on his refusal to use the state resources voraciously on his personal transportation and unnecessary purchase of vehicles – and the actual reality on the grounds. He revealed that Peter Obi was the one that built the first Helipad at the government house for his personal use. “Peter Obi used helicopters to travel often while he was the governor – and he usually travels alone or with one trusted aide”. It was not a secret within the administrative circles in Awka. “When he went to the burial of his wife’s sister, he flew in a helicopter. He took off from the government house”. Benji Obi adds also that, “he uses the Church to trick people… he is not a true Christian… he attends Olumba Olumba Obu with the helicopter… always accompanied by Valentine Obieyem”.

Benji pointed to Ngozi Okoye as the go to person whenever Peter Obi wants to book a private jet or a helicopter for travels. Peter Obi always uses private jets to travel as often as any other state governor in Nigeria. “The records are there and can be made public”.

“Peter Obi purchased a bulletproof BMW for his wife and two bulletproof landcrusiers for himself. He even bought an additional one for his brother, Damian”. Peter Obi prefers to use Okey Ezeibe to make vehicle purchases – through his Legacy Motors because of a favor granted by Okey Ezeibe when Peter Obi’s aide and man-Friday [Valentine Obieyem] was arrested hauling N250million from government house to his private office in Apapa, Lagos. In explaining away the reasons he was hauling the cash, he gave Legacy Motors as an alibi – that the money was for the purchase of vehicles from a neighboring country – through Legacy Motors – that the money was being hauled for Legacy Motors. He told the anti-graft agency that the vehicles being purchased were meant for the various head of service [HOS] and other permanent secretaries [PS]. Peter Obi got the HOS and the PS to play along. Their reward was Peugeot 406 each – he purchased each of the HOS and PS brand new Peugeot 406, as bribe.

The over 150 hummer buses purchased by the state government under the public mass transport bill for use for the ANIDS transport scheme, according to Benji Obi, turned out to be a corruption scheme to benefit an associate of Peter Obi. At the eve of Peter Obi’s exit from the government house, he gave away the entire hummer buses to his associate by name Benji Uba – who immediately began repainting the buses and selling them off – and pocketing the proceeds. Not minding that the buses were state owned.

“Peter Obi should be careful the way he opens his mouth because we can expose him to the public enough to put him behind bars. Obiano does not want to probe him… he should shut up…” continued the kinsman who revealed that Peter Obi also received part of the controversial campaign funds distributed by the Jonathan campaign team. “Peter Obi did not even utilize the money given to him for the purpose it was given”. He instead used the money for private business and to sponsor local political campaigns within Anambra such as that of Uche Ekwunife, Chinedu Idigo and others. “We have information that he is lobbying to avoid being probed. What he does not know is that President Buhari is a no nonsense person. He does not take kindly to hypocrites and corruption”.

Benji Obi particularly pressed heavily that Peter Obi was “very corrupt”. He recalled how the then Governor Peter Obi would pack over 6 suitcases filled with foreign currency [mainly dollar] and then take off to see his blood sister [Matina] who is an ordained Catholic Sister at the Holy Rosary [HRS]. The then Governor Peter Obi would store the suitcases at the Sister’s residence at the Catholic owned premises. The suitcases would then find another destination. Peter Obi would engage in the practice repeatedly until her dismissal. According to Benji Obi, “Sister Matina was dismissed from the HRS after she was caught”. She left for the Congo following her dismissal but returned to the government house – where she stayed till the end of Peter Obi’s administration.

Peter Obi’s propensity for primordial corruption and extravagant lifestyle – the type only expected of a military dictator – is shown in his relationship with a one-time girlfriend and colleague by the name Adaeze Idigo – who rose from the position of deputy director to permanent secretary within the span of 2.5years.

According to Benji Obi, Peter Obi and Adaeze Idigo had a lovechild during their young years – a baby girl. Peter Obi had started his primary school and secondary school education in Anambra north senatorial district – the same area where Adaeze Idigo hails from. Peter Obi attended St Augustine Umuoba Anam and then Father Josephine memorial grammar school where he met Adaeze. The two conjugated and gave birth to a baby girl in the 70s. She currently resides in Alabama, USA.

When the Peter Obi’s lovechild with Adaeze Idigo wedded in the USA, the state government of Anambra State was represented by Professor Stella Okunna who gave $50,000 on behalf of the State. The wedding took place in Alabama.

Peter Obi’s treatment of Adaeze Idigo was simply extravaganza. She was given a landcruiser sport utility vehicle, her mother was given the same along with a driver paid for by the state government. Her family [including the mum] were relocated to the suburbs of Enugu – into a new house purchased with the resources of the state. A power generator worth N2million was taken directly from the government house to her new residence.

Her brother, Chuka Idigo who earns a living as a contractor working almost exclusively for Anambra state alone also benefited immensely from Peter Obi’s extravaganza. “He was given numerous contracts without due process… many of them weren’t executed including the house of assembly headquarters… and others.” Benji Obi then made a startling revelation as to why Peter Obi had wanted the governorship to be zoned to the north senatorial district following his exist from the government house.

“He wanted to install Chinedu Idigo”, a brother to Adaeze Idigo.

“They used Chuka Idigo to raise election money through the many contracts awarded him without due process.” But it backfired because the people of the north senatorial district who were aware of the relationship between Peter Obi and Adaeze Idigo rejected the candidacy of Chinedu Idigo immediately it was announced to them by Peter Obi. The choice of Willie Obiano was forced upon Peter Obi by the people of Anambra north senatorial district.

A source revealed that Peter Obi remains active in hoisting Chinedu Idigo as the governor of Anambra State – talks are ongoing as to which party to join to materialize the goal.

Peter Obi’s administration was typical of what is expected of a corrupt state government. Many of the contract awards were fraudulent and his claim of being financially prudent with state resource is fantasy. This according to his kinsman and close political aide. “All contractors must have accounts with Fidelity back… and all checks are collected at his house…” Peter Obi claims his administration is not owing any contractor but “that is a lie” because “contractors were owed… Obiano is silently paying for works done during Peter Obi’s administration”.

I pity who owns you.

People on twitter are trying to persuade Peter obi to sue malignant elements like you to set an example.

They have been humiliated on twitter.
The "baba sope" band of lunatics.

There is no politician in southern Nigeria that has a credit reserve of integrity like Peter obi.

People trust him implicitly.

And that is why these burdillion band of lunatics tried to carry out a failed Image attack on him in anticipation of 2023.

They are publicising him for the 2023 elections.

So Covid19 knows the difference between mourners and non mourners.

You sir, are an idiot.

People like you should never be seen in places of authority lest you infect it with malignant foolishness.

Life in the north is at its lowest possible fraction.

Littlefinger:
I downloaded the app about a week ago and didn't get the data, how do I resolve this?

I just did my own this morning.

It's working perfectly.

PassingShot:
When children talk, it shows. Infrastructure wise, no past govt has done as much for the SE as the present govt. Not even their adopted son GEJ who scanned them with the 2nd Niger Bridge.

I understand it's emotions and hatred sha.

The SE felt his impact so much that when buhari planned to borrow $25 billion, he wanted to give the south east almost zero.

You deserve to be slapped for trying to insult the intelligence of igbo people.

If the chief of staff was your best man and yet your people could not even feel the impact of your relationship with him, then you are worthless.

After his term as foreign affairs minister, that should be the end of his relevance.

Covidodo:
Thank God you know .
And that region will not be back in opposition in 2023 .

Whether as president/vice president , they'd remain in aso rock come 2023 . Go figure !

Yes na.

Because you have 10 billion votes and your candidates is running in both major parties.

Look at this perpetual opposition people.

DAYOODS:
Those ones are not creative joo. Mention another name .

I can see you are funny.

StreetFight:
Why IPOB miscreants are hating, Abba Kyari was Godfrey Onyeama's best man when the Ibo gentleman married a Yoruba woman from Ondo.

Wailers are really suffering.

Clown.
Onyema is an elite. He feeds at the table of elites.
His realities are not your realities.

The wailers you are insulting are the ones that are fighting for your future.

Onyema does not know you. A fellow like you can never marry his daughter .

Armaggedon:
you won't even compare mercy Chinwo with alabi who is only known in one part of Nigeria.

Even chioma Jesus has more fame, but let us not drag issues too much.

Tobechuckwu:
I don't like classification. They are gospel artistes so we don't do like people of the world. God gave them all grace and they are walking in that grace.

True.

But the metrics are still there for you to gauge if you want to.

DAYOODS:
Give me example

I would rate Ada Ehi above her. No question.

Even Nathaniel Bassey have a say.

Tobechuckwu:
U are wrong on this. Do u fink Sinach just start with "Way maker"? 'More of you' have been on for over a decade now and it's still new everytime u play it.
Sinach is a worldwide gospel artists. Sinach has a special grace. Sinach is a minister of the gospel.

Sinach has over 100 million views on one song alone.
The first African gospel artist to sing at Lakewood.
The most recognizable of them all.

Ada Ehi comes next, pulling behind her very fast on global star power.

Those two have tours in Europe and America lined up.

Mercy chinwo and tope alabi are trying.
But I would classify them among local artists for the local Market.

DAYOODS:
Oya,let know who is better like for Tope Alabi and share for Sinach

This is a joke right.

There are people ahead of tope alabi before you get to sinach.

An article of a sycophant does not concern me.

If I were in onyema shoes, I would write even a more beautiful one in honour of kyari.

After all, I have benefited from him than 99% of Nigeria.
