really Chyke or Na Chike? ..why do u always deny your tribe after acting foolish? just curious 🧐

He is Ibo like Nzeogwu that planned the coup that truncated the 1st republic.

igwebuike01:
Realignment. These agbado miscreants think they have monopoly of northern votes just because Obi emerged at the last minute in the last election. Let them be watching the game now

Unity begging at it's finest 😂

Hausas and Fulani are no longer cows and terrorists for now till they vote for Asiwaju and Atiku in 2027, then you will return to calling them cows

The northerners have given him warning already but unity begging is in his blood.

Peter obi can't offer what he does not have. He has always been known for mediocrity.

Only in an APC state. Thanks to the governor for being tolerant of people of other faith.

paramakina202:
Where in the East?

Plenty. All over Anambra and Enugu.

Makunahatata:
of cause u are also disappointed in the Agulu lying machine,na why all of una dey create hundreds of threads to defend nonsense 😂😂

😂😂😂. They are working hard for that 30k stipends from the agulu messiah.

Validated:
The Zaria and Sokoto communities where Peter Obi, a private Nigerian sank boreholes have the following:

1. They have Councillors
2. They have LGA chairmen
3. They have House of Assemblly members
4. They have House of Rep member
5. They have Senators
6. They have a governors
7. They have a minister of Water Resources
8. They have a president
All of the above DID NOT CARE!

Yet, the "idiots" who support all of persons above are mocking a private citizen for providing the people borehole. Shame on all "Agbadonians".

These places in Anambra and Enugu all have the above as well but they do not care. Charity begins from outside. Yes daddy.

PresidObi:
You are from the SW

He is from the SE. Na dem dey piss on Islam very well like Anambra 1st son. And na dem dey use the word efulefu which is an Ibo word.

Tribal jingoist.

He has not reacted to the lynching and burning of two young brothers at Onitsha till date. But he quickly jumped at this news.

Balablue64:
Northerners wey dey follow cow drink swamp water, abegi. May God continue to bless obi wherever he is

And you Obidients are their saviour.

HateBigots:
... ladies and gents I present Ola a.k.a. Heliniu5 a.k.a. chief zone b.

I am sure it was ibo man that cut his jaw that's why he hates them🤣🤣

What's the meaning of this useless post.

Tellmeastory:
The funny thing about the borehole is how the words spelling his name covered the whole tank.

Very classless.

Yup. Plus HIS EXCELLENCY. Like wtf 😂

immortalcrown:
No better water source from you to the people. You are yet to question the councilors for not giving the people water. But your pressing need is to criticize Obi for giving the people water. Wow!

Obi should be calling out their state governors instead of going about building poor quality borehole systems.

We all know he is trying to buy vote as the hypocrite neglected the water crisis in his own region and state.

😂😂😂
The headless mob would come for her.

PandoraObi:
Red mud? stop using your mother to judge people.

It's ironic when an Ibo person tries to use red mud to shame people. If only Nigeria can export red mud 😂😂😂

Dis one still dey talk. Quack journalist.

PandoraObi:
When Peter girigory Obi was caught for providing dilapidated borehole, the yes daddy claimed it was because "she" want to make people angry.

😂😂😂

DMerciful:
Don't deflect! Awolowo was not given a national burial because its against the law to honor death from suicide. Even insurance companies won't pay life insurance payout if the death is from suicide

It's not deflection. It's history being told

Ojukwu fled disguised as a woman. History has it that sk*lls of some Biafrian children were being crushed by his plane wheels as his escape plane took off on the runaway, and those kids ran to chase after the plane.

DMerciful:
National burial is not based on attendance but whether the state conducted the burial.

A person that committed suicide cannot be given national burial obviously

You are only angry and peddling lies because Ojukwu disguised as a woman and fled to Ivory coast when Black Scorpion started sending Biafrian soldiers to in their amadioha in large numbers.

gidgiddy:
Outside his South West, nobody has any regard for Awolowo. There's a reason behind that

Only in the SE is he being disregarded. Ibos hate any Yoruba politician doing well for his people. You hate that man so much that Peter Obi, the tribalist and religious bigot, weaponized the hatred to campaign for elections in Anambra state. Peter Obi's tribalism and bigotry did not just start now.

Same hatred has been passed on to Tinubu.

DMerciful:
I have never heard Awolowo's name mentioned by a non Nigerian. Even in Nigeria,
mostly SW talk about him. He was a regional champion that committed suicide.

Inspite of the coup and war, Nzeogwu and Ojukwu were given national burials

Awolowo was given a national burial.
What is your definition of national burial?
Who was supposed to be there that wasn’t there?

Aikhomu as the No 2 citizen then led the federal delegation to the burial. Prior to that, Babangida and his wife led separate delegations to Ikenne. Public holiday was declared in the whole south west and the Parliament building in Ibadan was temporarily opened for his body to be received.

At the liberty stadium Ibadan, his body was received by many military governors, military and police and public.

His casket was carried on a gun carrier surrounded by soldiers..

Awolowo is well known abroad. He created the first TV station in Africa, help establish Obafemi Awolowo university whose graduates are doing outstanding things all over the world.

Pictures:
1. News announcing Awolowo:a first tv station in Africa
2. Awolowo with British PM
3. Awolowo and other African and world leaders take a picture with Queen Elizabeth

AlexBells:
It is not very accurate to blame Awolowo, Ojukwu knew from Aburi that the West had been defeated. However Awolowo did take some mischievous steps afterwords like advising the Eastern blockade and taking Igbo money in the bank but we rose from the Ashes and became the best

LMAO. He did not take any money from any bank. The lies Radio Biafria fed you people

The Biafran Anger Against Obafemi Awolowo

Sadly, many Nigerians of Southeastern origin have a very deep seated grudge against Nigeria due to misinformation they have been fed with all their lives. These misrepresentations and historical revisions have been passed on to them during their formative years by parents who actually believed the wartime propaganda .

Many myths still believed by young Igbos today originated from the original Radio Biafra, which Uche Chukwumerije, and of which Okokon Ndem was its most powerful voice.

Recently, a young man came on my Twitter profile to declare that Nigeria fought the civil war to destroy the Igbos and that was why all Igbos were given just twenty Naira after the war.

This story is very untrue.

The whole issue about the twenty pounds (not Naira) arose as a result of the fact that after declaring the independent Republic of Biafra, the authorities of that Republic declared the Nigerian Pound as non legal tender, and on January 29, 1968, they introduced the Biafran Pound.

The Federal Military Government, immediately countered before the currency was declared by declaring that that currency was illegal and would not be recognised by Nigeria.

Upon this announcement by the Federal Military Government, many prudent 'Biafrans' withdrew all their Nigerian pound and kept it at home. One such Biafran was Evelyn Okororie, who is still alive and told her story to CNN, which published it on January 16, 2020, in a piece titled 'Biafra war: Survivors relive account 50 years after Nigerian civil war ends.'

After Biafra was defeated, Chief Awolowo, as Minister of Finance, faced a conundrum. What was Nigeria to do with the Biafran Pound?

There was no way even to verify who had genuine Biafran Pounds because Biafra had collapsed, and those responsible for printing the currency had either died, fled the country, or were denying involvement.

As a personal initiative of Chief Awolowo, who refused to take his plan to the Federal Executive Council for fear that it would be defeated by hawks in General Gowan's cabinet, the Ministry of Finance issued a circular to pay £20 to those former Biafrans whose account records of monies domiciled in Nigerian Pounds were lost, and to those who held their bank balances in Biafran Pounds.

Every account holder got a blanket £20. That money was a gift from Nigeria and, more specifically, from the humanness of Chief Awolowo. Those former Biafrans who could prove their account balances in Nigerian Pounds received all their monies.

The late Senator Arthur Nzeribe is an example of an Igbo who could prove his account balances in the Nigerian Pound. All former Biafrans who had accounts in banks outside the Eastern Region got access to all their funds after the war. The late Chief Alex Ekwueme is an example of this.

I urge those who harbour a grudge against Nigeria for that policy to please put themselves in Chief Awolowo’s shoes.

What would they have Chief Awolowo to have done? Accept the Biafran Pound and freely convert it to Naira? Does that even make sense when the Federal Military Government warned Colonel Emeka Ojukwu's government against the act?

After the Union defeated the Confederate states during the American Civil War, the Confederate States' dollars became worthless from May 26, 1865. The Union did not give any $20 to holders of the Confederate States dollars. As it should be. After the war, holders of the Confederate States dollars just lost their money. Period. That is the sad reality of war.

But in our case, Chief Awolowo, out of the goodness of his heart and not out of any obligation, gave as a gift £20 to all Biafran Pounds account holders.

If the Biafran Pounds had value, why did Ojukwu not take it along with him when he fled Biafra for Ivory Coast?

And to create a level playing ground, Awolowo took the extraordinary step of abolishing the Nigerian Pound and introducing the Naira in 1971, although it was not implemented until 1973.

DMerciful:
This is govt money. I am slow!

Fixed for you.

2 term former governor, former VP candidate of PDP , someone contesting to be president and an active party state man.

Peter Obi the agulu fraud is using Anambra's stolen money.

Good job. They have learnt from Ibos and IPOB members like the ones below, but they are not just there yet.

EponObi:
Good question!

Lol. 🤣 Obidences are Pandora's downfall. They've always been. They will never tell him the truth, because *read carefully* "aesthetics and brand image"

The infallible Obi. The perfect Obi. The Messiah, albeit fake.

That's has been the image they've projected of him since he picked the LP ticket.

But what the low IQ sect fail to understand is that as person who has claimed he's the perfect candidate to fix Nigeria, moving us from consumption to production (whatever that nonsense means), the aesthetics of his output or maybe work will be judged. The talk and showings much match.

How do you claim to the One, the Messiah we all have been waiting for, the one who is different from our usual crops of politicians, and your brand (main brand - not the nonsense mumbo jumbo matras he spew in his Twitter threads) and workings doesn't reflect that?

The !diots even said to the face of the Zaria Emir that he's intensionally doing crap projects so that others can step up. What a smooth-brained desperado! 😂

From claiming in the last election that the electioneering was a religious war and telling Christians to take back their country to touring the North to drag iftar rice with innocent kids and construct eye sore water projects. He must think the Northerns and everyone is as dull as him and his band of barbarians. Prof. Wole Soyinka rightly described him. A bonafide Gbajue Grandmaster! 😂

Obi keeps digging his grave with bad optics and desperations. When you think he can't sink lower, he pulls out a stunt.

And to those who are saying shit about Obi doing the Northerns a favour:

1. They didn't ask for his help.
2. He can't be launching bottom-tier water projects like this in the South (again, optics)
3. He is the one looking for votes - Nigerians have nothing to judge his capacity and ability despite being the Governor of Anambra State for solid 8 years; one would think he would use this opportunity to showcase his readiness, uniqueness, genuineness, capabilities, ability, and taste with these minor water projects.

If this dude can't excel in a small task like this, how will Nigerians believe he is capable of handling a complex country like ours.

The crappy excellence written on that water reservoir even shines more brighter and is way bigger than the excellence in Obi's life. 😂🤣

Yes, Obi is doing it with his own personal fund. And yes, no one asked him. And likewise yes, be missed a golden opportunity to convince Nigerians he's a leader of high caliber.

Optics. Brand. They are all important. When the talk doesn't match the working, there's big problem.

It would have been wiser if he reallocated that 800 million naira he donated to his Gbajue lawyers to created like 10 solid water projects across the north. I mean high standard projects that would at least match that of Ayarr Star. Just 10. He wouldn't even spend 40% of that 800m.

His Ramadan tour is a PR disaster, tbh. He would go to his region to donate millions of naira to nursing schools but go to the North to drop water projects like cows dropping dungs in a wasteland. Optics!!!

Can you imagine Atiku Abubakar doing water project like this? It's not even imaginable. It can't happen. That's what is called a brand and excellence.

As a person hoping to contest again in 2027, as a Presidential Candidate, you just have to do it all the way or do nothing at all. Everything you do will be used to weigh and judge you by the people and your opponent will pick through them as if they are picking beans.

Peter Obi is very dull. He can't give what he doesn't have. i.e. intelligence.

Penguin2:
So Obi that is donating boreholes in Kaduna, Gombe and Sokoto is both the governor of Kaduna, Gombe and Sokoto?

I hope your thinking faculty is not in your anus.

Apples and oranges. Peter Obi is trying hard to buy their votes even though he is getting the middle finger from them.

Desperate agulu fraud.
We no dey give shishi in the mud. He is not only giving money, but he is also licking the arses and sucking their dicks of Fulanis that you love to hate.

That's what we are talking about. Kudos to cardi B.

Even it would have benefited me if the naira keeps losing value to dollars, but I am not Anti-Nigeria progress like some people who would rather cut their nose to spite their face all because their messiah lost the election.

Yourprick:
Please hold your dollars close to your chest and handkerchief closer to your eyes,we hitting 5k soon 🤣🤣

😂😂😂
I see what you did there.

Noodles are not healthy food. It's full of Msg and other unsafe chemicals.

Penguin2:
That’s where Tinubu comes in

Lol. So Tinubu is your state governor in Enugu and Anambra.

Bros, if I were your boss in the propaganda department of the Obidients movement, you will be demoted for being bad at your job
