franchasng: My brother I have seen that most of you are hating Obi based on false information.
Please let me enlighten you so you can understand better and also enlighten others you know that harbor same false information about.
I know you are talking about the Pandora Papers, now let me explain it better to you.
According to Pandora Papers leak which Premium Times published, it was alleged that Peter Obi operated so many private and family businesses abroad and also owned offshore bank account in a tax haven country with the name of his daughter.
The Pandora Papers claimed Peter Obi opened this offshore account in 2010 as a businessman who owned business in UK and other countries, including in Nigeria.
Now what is a tax haven country? Tax haven country is a country that doesn't tax investment funds banked in their countries by foreigners. They made it so to attract rich investors and celebrities to invest or save their moneys in their countries without being taxed. So almost all global billionaires and even millionaires in dollars operate offshore bank accounts to avoid governments of heavy taxed nations taxing their money.
Peter Obi became Anambra state Governor in 2006. Six years after Pandora Papers said he opened an offshore bank account in a tax haven country.
So he never took any Anambra state money to save in an offshore account. If at all he saved any money in an offshore account, it was his personal money he made from doing private businesses abroad, most in the UK where he owned a company.
So please, for your own good my brother, stop accusing Peter Obi wrongly, that man is very good. I am Igbo but I can tell you that we don't have any other known or visible Igbo political figure with good and verifiable reputation like Mr Peter Obi. We may have them but they are not known or popular today. I am still observing Governor Otti of Anambra till he finishes his second tenure and then I will access him.
If it were to be other Igbo politicians like Orji Uzo Kalu, Ohakim, Nnamani, Theodore Orji, Okezie Ikpeazu, Chris Ngige, Soludo, etc, God in heaven knows I will never support them because they are the normal Nigerian criminal, corrupt politicians.
But I know you guys won't understand this truth, it's well, only God sees our hearts and will reward us for all our doings in life at the right time, I so much believe this, take care
My man, the account was set-up secretly four years into his eight years tenure.
Your point can only be valid if it was set-up before he ascend the governorship position.
Furthermore he invested state funds in his bank of interest, which is a criminal offense.
franchasng: In all honesty, if you are asked by God that did Bola Tinubu perform well as a President of Nigeria for the past 3 and half years now, tell me the truth, will you answer yes?
Or if they make it a curse that will happen as you wish, and you are asked to swear that may God and nature lead my life and treat me the same way Tinubu have led Nigeria and treated Nigerians, will you take such oath? Be honest.
Peter Obi is far better than Tinubu my brother. The worst of Peter Obi can never be compared to Tinubu.
Every good leader all over the world that led their nations to communal prosperity had these below traits:
1.) Contentment 2.) Zero greed to materialism and wealth 3.) Had integrity and almost zero corruption 4.) Were never ethnocentric but nationalistic 5.) Were frugal
Now tell me which of the above qualities does Tinubu have?
Obi is highly contented which distinguishes him from every other Nigerian politician.
Obi have no greed for wealth and materialism, he is highly contented.
Obi's family (children, wife, siblings, extended relatives) are not interested in politics or money or influence from politics unlike Tinubu whose family are all expert politicians trying to even outdo Tinubu.
Obi is very frugal, reason almost every Nigerian call him "stingy".
Obi want communal prosperity of all Nigerians not Igbo prosperity like Tinubu is chasing for only Yoruba prosperity while claiming to be President of Nigeria, its totally wrong and you know it no matter who has done it in the past, we cannot continue to compete on who will outdo each other in being bad and foolish, that will never take us anywhere as a nation, we ought to be getting better everyday and not comparing our present with our past to justify our wrongdoings of today.
We are not mumu Mr man,
Someone who kept anambra looted funds in his daughter offshore account is not corrupt.
Same man who gifted traditional rulers more than 400 cars is frugal.
Obi want communal prosperity but failed to increase civil servants salary, refuse to pay doctors. But had the audacity to build a beer factory which serves no purpose.
Abeg talk another thing, because this format don cast.
Racoon: ". The truth is that many pastors have become hypocritical, and a significant number of these "Daddy GOs" have enabled bad governance in Nigeria.
If we all remain silent, who will speak for the ordinary people? You could be kidnapped tomorrow; I could be too. The country is no longer safe. Should everyone simply keep quiet because a pastor is receiving billions of naira?
The clearest and most comprehensible book in the world is the Bible. Yet, without proper understanding, some pastors can manipulate its teachings and make their followers believe almost anything...."
There is no doubt 1967 will still not repeat itself, with the way you tribalist profile individual not from your region.
esnbrutality: Apart from religious extremism from Northern ardents, the Igbos and northerners cohabit peacefully and make money constructively.
The real impediment to Igbo growth are the betrayals that constantly shout 1 Nigeria but are quick to remind you that Lagos is their own. Forgetting that its resources from the SE, under Military Regimes that developed Lagos.
The Electricity generation has been proven to be doable by IGBOs
The Private Airline Space has been proven to be doable by IGBOs
Other spheres they dominate in are thriving and surviving
All their so called Yoruba $ Billionaires are Politically exposed subjects of political gladiators .
The same people, will fight tooth and nail to sabotage Airports in the SE and even seaports, because Lagos will be abandoned in an instant.
They fear these developments in the SE, because their parasitic tendencies will be nipped in the bud and they will feast on themselves, as leeches that they are from inception.
The people that fear development in the SE the most are the 'OUR LAGOS' noisemakers, who migrated from osun, oyo, ogun, ekiti, kwara, edo, itsekiri, uhrobo, ijaw even Benin Republic., shouting 'On your mandate nonsense.
franchasng: If Nigerians, especially the Yorubas have enough wisdom, they are supposed to call Tinubu to order to forget about a second term and allow Peter Obi to complete the Southern turn for peace, unity, equity and justice and to also prepare Nigeria for a greater future of unity, prosperity, love and togetherness.
At least Tinubu have fulfilled his lifelong ambition and dream of becoming a President, that is enough...he should not let his ill-fated ambition to destabilize and destroy Nigeria and her fragile future. We really can do better with understanding and empathy for one another.
You own is just for the clueless obi to be president out of tribal affliction
Goo0dHardDick: Tinubu was a senator and then governor for 8years, yet no single drainage was built under him. Lagos state was extremely dirty and flooded under his administration.
The same tinubu is now the president by rigging and illegal Means yet he has completely crippled down Nigeria. Insecurity is the order of the day. Remove the log in your eyes first
Sen Victor Umeh who was APGA National Chairman when Peter Obi contested the 2003 Governorship Election in Anambra, says in this video that upon screening, they noticed Peter Obi has been having Annual Turnover of $25million dollars since 2001.
Goes to show that Peter Obi is a wealth builder and the best man for the current Nigerian economy.
