Stop saying this. I wonder where you guys get these stories from. Tinubu collected lagos allocation in full from inception of democracy up till march 2004. He then collected 80% of the allocation up till the end of his tenure when the accumulated 20% arrears were paid. Yet , he embezzled all, told lies and left a 100 billion naira debt( which equates to a trillion naira now) with no project to show except lagos mainland hospital. Any givernor would have done what he did by increasing IGR as lagos was congested no thanks to the federal government who made lagos the only functional seaport in nigeria

Difrent:


That wouldnt have been possible without the foundation Tinubu laid.
Don't pretend not to know that Tinubu ran Lagos without federal allocation for some years becaise Obj seized the allocation......it's this allocation that UMYA released to Fashola and the huge improvement in IGR that Tinubu handed over to him that he used to build on the foundations already laid by Tinubu.
Nobody can dispute this

This is the misconception people dont understand till today including lagosians and also the fallacy BAT used in stealing all of lagos money from 2004 to 2007. He still got 80% of his allocation. The remaining 20% was what was withheld and this was even later paid as arrears towards the end of his tenure. He himself should come out and campaign with this then he'llknow that Nigerians are not fools.

Fcwilly:


Point of correction, not Lagos state fund, it's Lagos local government area fund, money mean for Lagos state was released only that of LGAs was withheld

Clarification: OBJ didnt withhold lagos state funds. He only held back 20% of the lagos allocation which accrues to local government and that was because BAT created false LGAs in a bid to get increased allocation. Lagos was still getting 80% of its allocation which was more than the allocation about 31 states in Nigeria were getting at that time. This is the vehicle BAT used to siphon money as he claimed he wasnt getting anything from the federal from 2004 till end of his tenure(this issue started in april 2004).

AntiChristian:
OBJ has no say!

He's one of those who shouldn't be talking anymore! He said so many unprintable things against Atiku in his book. Yet he'll still frolic with Atiku now!

When OBJ was the president Atiku was the VP. Tinubu was an opposition governor while Obi was a governor in the ruling party!

OBJ did witheld Lagos state funds for months yet in the end Lagos still faired better till they won!

The IGR of Lagos today is greater that that of the whole SE region!

So you think infrastructure is governance? Let me ask you a question. Do you know that eko atlantic has no economic impact on the lives of 95% of lagosians? Meanehile, the hospitals, schools, bridges and institutions Obi built imoacted the lives of citizens of anambra. Do you know that anambra is the only state in Nigeria that has more than 95% of state roads tarred ?Since you want to talk about infrastructure and cant read , i have told you about it. Obi also brought two car manufacturing plants with the assemby stations built in Anambra. There is also a rice mill in anambra. That is what is called infrastructureand not something that adds nothing to the populace except benefitting only the oligarchs that have looted nigeria dry

GodsOwnMan:


Keep fooling yourself. Name one peter obi's infrastructural legacy that is even remotely close to Tinubu's Eko Atlantic.

Beating about the bush will not save you, not with me.

I should name when i sent you a list of his achievements? This is why i asked whether youre educated

GodsOwnMan:


Name a peter obi's legacy in Anambra that is even remotely close to Tinubu's Eko Atlantic.

You keep beating about the bush, it will not help you. Not with me.

Read what i sent to you and ask yourself this question again.

GodsOwnMan:


You live in Lagos all your life yet you don't even know when Eko Atlantic was founded?
Try again. Name one legacy of peter Obi that is even remotely comparable to Eko Atlantic?

This is why i asked initially whether you're educated because it doesn't seem to be the case. Otherwise, I could assume you're a closet-minded tribalist. Somebody that squandered lagos money for 8 years with nothing to show for it, investors then brought an eko atlantic project and it now turns out that he's the one that owns the idea. That was how he claimed he brought econet to lagos. If not that those that brought econet to Nigeria were still alive and in Nigeria and quickly debunked it that's how the news would have stayed. In a sane country, BAT and Obi shouldn't be discussed in same circles or even mentioned in same sentence. They're miles apart in terms of personality, character, capabilities and achievements!

GodsOwnMan:


All this epistle just to say Peter Obi does not have any infrastructural legacy that can even compare to 1/100th of Tinubu's Eko Atlantic. Cased Closed. This is why, I am supporting Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Tell me what compares to all these amongst what BAT did. I lived in lagos probably before you were born. Lagos was ince the capital of Nigeria and the federal government made the state in such a way that it has the first and biggest international airport and the only seaport allowed for clearing of goods in Nigeria. This alone is what opened lagos to massive industrialization and commerce and is why people flock to the state. It has nothing to do with any state government

smeag0l:
Eko atlantic adds nothing to lagos state nor does it improve the lives of the people staying in the state. Now to what Peter Obi did in Anambra state.
.EDUCATION- He returned secondary schools in anambra to the missionaries and partnered with them and with UBEC to ensure that that state moved from number 24 in NECO the previous year to number 1 state in both NECO and WAEC for three consecutive years starting from 2009. During these years he also bought over 24,000 computers for different schools and also ran a free education scheme for primary and secondary education. During his tenure, the senior prefects of every government school had his phone number and he gave them so that they can call him if any teacher is asking them for money for anything. He also never owed teachers their salaries and never owed retired ones their pension.
INFRASTRUCTURE- Peter Obi build roads of up to 500km within the interiors of the state. Anambra should be the only state in Nigeria that you can drive on purely tarred road from one LGA to the other without using a federal road( Note that you can't do this between Epe and Ikorodu or between Ikorodu and Kosofe and that's why I didn't include Lagos). Peter Obi would collect university certificates of contractors and their NYSC certificates in case they build bad roads then he'll seize those certificates until they rectify the job. Peter Obi built several hospitals in anambra. One of such is the anambra state University teaching hospital which he built from scratch. He also transformed the Iyienu hospital in Ogidi, Our Lady of Lourdes hospital in Ihiala, St Charles Borromeo hospital in Onitsha, holy rosary hospital, Onitsha and St Joseph hospital in Adazi-Nnukwu( he actually built a heart operations center in this hospital). He also built several bridges like the Odor bridge, Ebenebe Bridge, ogbanabo Bridge, otuku Bridge, otalu Bridge, ekure Bridge, agara, ubo and ottah bridges. He also built the awka and Onitsha pedestrian bridges. He bought 100 buses for several secondary schools in the state and ensured that 14 health institutions in the state obtained accreditation before the end of his tenure
ECONOMY- Peter Obi single handedly made rivers state the state with the 4th highest IGR in the country and the state with the highest GDP per capita in the country. I'll go into how he achieved this. He brought in two car manufacturing plants into the state, brought in an international brewery(SAB miller) and also several industries. All of these opened up job opportunities for the indigenes and made anambra the only state in Nigeria that had a positive balance of trade. He left up to $500 million dollars in both local and foreign currency(about $155 million in dollars) in the coffers of the state at the end of his tenure. He used every opportunity in the state to provide an industrialization avenue for job creation. Brought in billionaire indigenes of the state to come invest in the state.

Eko Atlantic was founded in 2003. Eko Atlantic development is being carried out as a Public–private partnership (PPP)with private companies and investors providing the funding, whilst Lagos State Government(LASG) is a strategic partner, with the support of the Federal Government.(Nigeria Government).

Answer this questions: (1) who was governor in 2003? (2) What is the meaning of PPP?

The problem with some of you eboes is that you just tell lies instead of admitting that you don't know the subject matter.

Now, show us Peter Peter Obi's equivalent of Eko Atlantic in Anambra state. Beating around the bush will not save you.

Coming up with the concept doesnt mean same as implementation. Besides, i still dont believe his government came up with the concept. It was during Ambode's regime that eko atlantic was conceptualized. Besides, eko atlantic doesnt add anything to the life of the average lagosian. It also only marginally improves lagos economy and that margin is yet to be actualized. Ill put out an epistle of Obi's achievements so you can go check. Im still in awe that someone can be comparing a person who's age, education, family etc is shrouded in controversy and who made money from drugs and politics with someone who is educated and was a billionaire before politics

GodsOwnMan:


Yes. BAT government came up with the concept of Eko Atlantic. And laid the economic foundation for its reality.

No need to beat about the bush. Show us Obi's equivalent. Your evasive tactics will not work.

So BAT built eko atlantic?Is that ehat they told you in your support group?

GodsOwnMan:


Easy. Let's take it one by one. I will start with Eko Atlantic. Now, show me Peter Obi's equivalent of Eko Atlantic in Anambra.

Don't beat about the bush. Don't swallow your tongue. Just mention the name of the development and show that it is comparable to Eko Atlantic.

The pictures you posted earlier doesnt show you are. Becausenone of the two had a hand in all the infrastructureyou posted. You just picked things from your uninformed groups to post here . Why not you start by telling me what BAT did in lagos and ill tell you what Obi did in anambra and we can compare

GodsOwnMan:


Yes, I am educated. Tell me how Peter Obi performed better as governor than Bola Tinubu.

Are you educated ? Cos i want to know if i should stop wasting my time

GodsOwnMan:


U say wetin? Behold Tinubu's Lagos vs Peter Obi Anambra:

So you think BAT built these infrastructure? Then you know nothing about lagos. This is what they use to deceive you guys

GodsOwnMan:


Good question. My answer is attached.

I'm not keen on arguing politics. However, the only question I want to ask people supporting PDP and APC on this forum is this. How do you support two candidates that their basic education is shrouded in so much controversy? In their youth,one forged SSCE certificate to get into the Nigerian customs while the other doesn't even have an SSCE certificate( Or can't present it because he was bearing another name as at then). I'm asking this question because I see you guys drum up your supports for them in English which means you are educated- either graduates or students. How do you guys do this because I don't understand it. These kind of things can't happen even in Togo, Cameroon and other African countries who even have the worst of dictators. How do you expect these people who aren't educated to implement educational reforms when they get into power? You can't give what you don't have. I'm actually not bothered about whoever you support but about how you guys think .

When I was 28 years old

I pity the generations of those supporting either Atiku or Tinubu for presidency especially the graduates. Like how would you support people who have no evidence of a university education and have worked their way up the ladder using forged certificates while also plundering the resources of the country? How? It just beats my imagination. You guys should continue here.

You must have been on both sides of the divide to know this

Romanoff:
Bad girls will never tell you that they envy good girls but it's the truth.

Party structures dont vote. People do. You can contribute your own quota to nation buolding by spreading the word on why people should vote for Peter Obi

Dialpad:
I still don't understand, where are those that will vote for the labor party.

They have no national structure.

Thats not true. We all know how everyone of them stole money. How they all went from nothing to having properties aeound the world after governance. Obi is a different breed of politician and it'speople like you that are yet to accept him that is keeping nigeria where it is today. You may not know what youre doing now bur you need to think about the future of your children

Golan007:


We are saying the same thing.

No crime by any Nigerian government politician in that case.

Obi didnt spend state money on his company. Go and make this confirmation from anywhere. Having 250 million naira in your possession, the last time i checked, isnt a crime provided it wasnt obtained illegally and it wasnt found in your possession in a foreign country. Having funds abroad isn't a crime, according to the law, provided it wasnt stolen. So you can mention any crime Obi committed because you haven't said anything so far. No government official or politician, living or dead has ever mentioned that Obi stole any government funds. No anti-graft agency like EFCC has ever arrested Obi for any reason. You're the one that is mentioning this for the first time in Nigeria.

Golan007:


Obi caught with 250 million Naira cash is excsuable.

Obi spending state money in his company is excusable.

Obi hiding funds abroad whilst in office is excusable.

Can you now tell us who you would define as a corrupt government Official?

Thats why i said there are things you dont understand. Peter Obi have those monies in his company names. Theyre not personal assets. Besides, while the constitution stipulates that public office holders declare PERSONAL assets and liabilities at the time of assumption of office, it doesnt make a compulsory provision for an update of the assets declaration form. Besides, like I told you earlier, wealthy people deposit monies offshore for several reasons mainly for tax cuts. None of this is related to stealing public funds ao if that is the excuse you are making then it'sso lame. All the rich people on forbes list have offshoee accounts otherwise they woukd be suffering terrible bank charges and government charges. Peter Obi bought a house of a million punds 11 years before becoming governor. This cant be said of the same corrupt politicians you are supporting. We all know theie history.

Golan007:


The pandora report states that 4 years after getting into office was when Obi created shall companies and transferred monies to them.

Please give up trying to.defend this.

Imagine this was another individual we were talking about.

Laws of declaration are meant for assets that are acquired before you got into office and are updated from time to time. Besides, the law didnt state explicitly that you should declare assets you have abroad. So what offence did he commit? By being a rich Nigerian who worked for his money legitimately?If there are any people to question on asset declaration it should be your corrupt politicians one of whom i know you are supporting.

Golan007:


Continue making excuses.

Obi claimed such money was for a contractor who he simply conveyed the cash to.
Pretend you don't know anything about Nigerian anti-money laundering laws and cash transactions.

Pretend you don't know about our laws on declaration and more importantly - timing.

I know you would continue with your subtle or overt jibes using such words as "ineptitude" to put across your defence.

Many of us are not fooled.

This your analogy shows your ineptitude. If someone has 250 million in cash does it mean he stole it? If someone has monies in offshore acvounts deposited using some of his companoes does that mean those monies were stolen? Bill Gates, Warren Buffett , Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison ,Larry Page etc all have offshore accounts. Go and arrest them. By the way, stop following all the sensationalities created by the pandora event that doesnt indict anyone. If Obi, indeed, stole monies to put in those offshore accounts you think a loose mouth like Wike wouldnt have mentioned it as part of his campaign against him?

Golan007:


Are you suggesting that Peter Obi, who invested state money into his family owned business isn't corrupt?

Are you suggesting that the same Peter Obi who was caught with 250 million Naira cash, in Lagos who didn't deny it but claim was for a state contractor isn't corrupt?


Are you suggesting that the same man who broke our anticorruption laws, dodged tax by creating several shell companies through which he hid money in Panama and the British Virgin Islands isn't corrupt?

I don't know what integrity Obi claims when he's been caught several times.

What is this thing about pandora revelations that Nigerians are still talking about? Wvery billionaire in the world have substantial funds in offshore accounts whether made legitimately or not so ehat is the fuss about Obi having some of his funds there? The only stint Obi has as a manager of public funds was as a governor and you never heard anywhere that he stole public funds. Rather, he improves indistrialization and wealth creation in the state snd made the state the one with the highest GDP per capita in the entire country. People should get enlightened please and stop mentioning pandora as if he committed any offence by saving his hard earned money in an offshore account. Amaechi even sent EFCC to arrest him for using public funds to by a one million pound house but when he showed the guys the receipt of the house, they left with their heads bowed in shame.

Jiokejohn:


Nothing gladdens my heart like this Pandora issue.

One thing is certain. The world is evolving and will continue to evolve. The gimmicks used to deceive a Thirty-year-old in the Eighties cannot be used to deceive a Ten-year-old of today.

Months after this so called Pandora revelation, Mr Peter Obi is walking the whole of the country and touring the globe freely. He has no affiliation with the Ruling Party, he even criticise excesses of this administration openly. Yet, EFCC, ICPC and their likes has never questioned him. My dear, Smear campaign will lead us to no where. 'WHO GOD BLESS, NO MAN SHOULD CURSE'.

Like Mr Peter Obi or hate him, his popularity keep on soaring higher. The man has continue to challenge anyone to prosecute him if he had been found wanting in any ramification. What a great challenge to all and sundry!

It is obvious that Pandora's objective has been defeated, why not try another means? Who knows, you might fabricate something better that can be used to nail him.

My advice is to up your game on nailing him or channel same energy to something more productive to your life.

[Whatever path you tow, good for you]

You can get an internship placement with any of these companies if you have a good grade in school and also if any of them comes to your school to conduct an internship aptitude test in order to select students for internship. You can also get a job with them without knowing anyone. I work for one of these majors in Nigeria although I won't mention the particular one. However,the most important thing you need to focus on now is working on your grammar, diction and tenses as you can't get a placement with any of them with what I read up there unless you're connected to the who-is-who in Nigeria. Also have it in mind that the best you can get as a job with these oil majors , with heavy connections, is a contract position. They don't compromise on quality while recruiting their core staff.

This GDP stat means nothing. The important statistics is per capita income. They're reporting GDP increase but have they reported population increase? Have they reported the ratio of the GDP to the population to know if we actually made progress? Our government keep deceiving Nigerians.

All those were condemned each and everytime. Besides, theres no justification for taking human life. None whatsoever and if you dont agree with this then a wild animal is better than you

I condemn the killing of Deborah Samuel but we must also point out this evil attributes of Christian extremist who go about insulting Muslims at every given opurtunity.

There are no differences between the girl and her murderers. They are basically two sides of the same coin.

Christian extremist like Deborah Samuel should understand that it is not nice to be insulting or even making blasphemous statements about other people's religion as this are inflammatory statements that can quickly lead to religious crisis.

Christian clergy should teach their followers the doctrine of live and let's live.
