Reminds me of Messi bathing Lamine Yamal.

Though I don't know if Messi denied it.

PHIPEX:
A 5mins Google search could save you this public display of ignorance. I guess these countries that banned the cultivation of GMO in their countries are also following the crowd

PHIPEX:
This was how your forefathers were sold as slaves, maybe those who warned were called overreacting

*He was the first Governor in Nigeria to legally challenge his wrongful impeachment and was reinstated by the Courts.

*He was the first Governor to serve a 2nd term in both the new and old Anambra State, that is, almost 40 years after creation of the State.

*He was the first Governor, whilst still in Office, to be appointed a Special Adviser to the President.

*He was the first serving Governor to be appointed into the Presidential Economic Management Team.

FUNDAMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE (PARTIAL LISTING)

1. Anambra was the first State to commence Sub-Sovereign Wealth savings, the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. At a time many other Governors were leaving huge debts, I left the equivalent of $500 million Dollars in investment as well as local and foreign currency, including $156 million in Dollar-denominated bonds.

2. For the first time in the history of Anambra State, Ambassadors and High Commissioners of notable countries such as United Stated, Britain, Russia, European Union, South Africa, Belgium, Israel, the Netherlands, Canada, among others, visited the State. Before my tenure, Anambra was practically a pariah state blacklisted by the Diplomatic Corps and international development partners.

3. Development partners such as UNDP, UNICEF, the World Bank, DFID, the European Union etc., which hitherto were not in Anambra State started working with the State. Anambra was consistently adjudged one of the best states in development partnership and commitment to reforms for good governance.

4. He was recognised as Best Governor by the Millennium Development Goals Office (OSSAP-MDGs) and the UNDP in the implementation of their programmes in Nigeria.

5. The Nigerian Debt Management Office (DMO) rated Anambra as the least indebted state in Nigeria. In spite of visible and measurable achievements recorded in various sectors, the State under him did not borrow or raise bonds for her various projects.

6. The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria rated Anambra State as the most financially stable state in the country.

7. The State's ground-breaking return of schools to their original owners - Voluntary Agencies (Churches) on 1st January 2009, and subsequent partnership with the Agencies in Education, saw the State move from 24th position out of 36 States to Number One in National Examination Council (NECO) and West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations for three consecutive years. This made the World Bank to commission a study, led by the renowned Prof. Paul Collier of Oxford University, on this revolutionary partnership and phenomenal achievement.

8. The State also entered into strategic partnership with the Churches in the Health sector. This symbiotic relationship resulted in a tremendous boost to health care because of the services offered by health institutions owned by Voluntary Agencies, while the State restored grants to the agencies and made available to them more than 50 million Dollars in various types of support.

10. Through partnership with the Church in the Health sector, his Government funded the transformation of -:

a: Iyienu Hospital, Ogidi;
b: Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala;
c: St Charles Borromeo Hospital, Onitsha;
d: Holy Rosary Hospital, Waterside, Onitsha; and
e: St. Joseph Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu.
His Government also built the Joseph Nwilo Heart Centre in St. Joseph, Adazi-Nnukwu, where heart operations are now being performed.

11. His Government won the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (1 Million dollars) as the best-performing state in immunisation in the South-East. With complementary funding from our Government, they used the money to build 10 Maternal and Child Care Centres across the State, particularly in rural communities, in partnership with the Churches.

12. The State was the first to procure and distribute more than 30,000 computers to secondary schools, including 22,500 from HP. The Managing Director for Personal Systems Group HP Inc, Mr. FabriceCampoy described the deployment as the biggest of such projects in the Middle-East and Africa.

13. Anambra State Government provided Microsoft Academies to more than 500 secondary schools, which the Head of Microsoft in Nigeria (Mr. Ken Span) described as the biggest such deployment in Africa so far.

14. The State provided Internet access to more than 500 secondary schools, which the CEO of Galaxy Backbone (Mr. Gerald Ilukwe) characterized as incomparable to any in the country.

15. More than 700 buses were provided to secondary schools in the State by our Government.

16. Boreholes were provided in schools all over the State.

17. Numerous classrooms were built in all the 177 communities of the State.

18 As part of the efforts to turn around the economy of the State, a number of companies were attracted to build their facilities in the Anambra State. A case in point is SABMiller, the 2nd largest brewery in the world, which built their first Green Field facility in the State, which is today one of the most successful facilities they operate globally.

19. A number of other companies followed the SABMiller initiative and were all supported and encouraged under our Government; a good example is INNOSON Motor Manufacturing Company, from which our government bought more than 1,000 vehicles.

20. Anambra State for the first time started close collaboration with recognized government security agencies (the Police, Army, Navy, Department of State Security, Civil Defence, among others), offering them various types of support including provision of more than 500 security vehicles. The improvement in security was phenomenal, such that the former IG of Police (Abubakar Mohammed) lauded Anambra State for not witnessing any bank robbery in my last three years in office.

21. To further enhance security, Anambra State provided at least one security vehicle to each of all the 177 communities in the State as well as various organizations such as markets and Churches.

22. His Administration conceived and built, from scratch, the first state-owned Teaching Hospital, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu teaching Hospital, Awka.

23. His Government commenced the planned development of the Igbariam Campus of the ChukwuemekaOdumegwu-Ojukwu University, including the fencing, construction of internal roads, electrification, construction of the Faculty of Law, Auditorium, Administrative Block, Faculty of Agriculture, Management Building, among others).

24. His Government attracted the World Bank support on erosion - National Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) - to Anambra State.

25. His Government was the first to do Poverty Mapping in Nigeria, as a guide for the effective implementation of our poverty-alleviation strategies.

26 His Government, for the first time, undertook the aerial mapping of Awka as well as the production of Structure Plans for Awka Capital Territory, Onitsha and Nnewi.

27. During his tenure and with his Government's support, Anambra State became an oil producing State.

28. He built the first Secretariat Complex to house State Government Ministries that were hitherto scattered around the State.

29. His government commenced the development of the 'Three Arms Zone' comprising Government House/Governor’s Lodge, Legislative Building/Speakers Residence, and Judiciary Building with Chief Judge’s Residence.

30. By the end of his tenure in 2014, more than twelve (12) health institutions, including two hospitals, had secured accreditation; when we took off in 2006, no health institution in Anambra State was duly accredited.

31. Anambra State was the first to undergo national peer review, which scrutinised State Governments for good governance, through the State Peer Review Mechanism (SPRM), an initiative of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum in collaboration with the DFID.

7 Lagos Street Games Your Kids Will Never Play (But Should) – And Why We Need To Bring Them Back!


https://eyesoflagos.com/7-lagos-street-games-your-kids-will-never-play-but-should-and-why-we-need-to-bring-them-back/

Revealpanda:
I'm not a fan but this just proves you don't need education to make it in life.

One might ask... So why are those with good grades and 1st class not in power?
They aren't willing to do what this olodo is willing to do to climb to the top

Depriest2020:
He is alone on this. We the good northerners have forgiven the Igbos wholeheartedly.

Preator:
Her choice though. Plus she, like most nigerians, was just following her parent religion without really believing. If she truly was in christ, marriage will not make her dump Christianity .

Casham:
My cousin just told me last night that she just got raped on Sunday afternoon/evening (6th July, 2025).

I stay with them for now. She's 18, the first of two daughters and was still virgin (as far as I know). Her only [older] brother is in school.

She's been acting funny since on Sunday evening. She couldn't hold it in anymore and, since there is no one else she could actually confide in, she confided in me. Now she's begging me not to tell anyone and not to cause trouble. She only wants me to help her get a drug (if any) that will prevent pregnancy.

She told me about the man coming to see her in her mother's restaurant and said she was going to talk to the man about getting me a job, but when she went into his car, he forced himself on her.

Honestly I am angry right now! I am angry at three things:

First, I am angry at my family. I have a family where the children are afraid to open up, because if you do, you will be blamed and castigated upon. I understand her fear and apprehension about letting other people know, but I just can't let this go.

Secondly, I am angry at our society. How can a man confidently feels he can force himself on a lady and get away with it? What kind of society do we have?

Thirdly, I am angry at myself. I am angry because I feel helpless. I can't let this thing go. I have to deal with this man, but I don't know how to do it without putting my cousin in a difficult position. I have tried to let her know that it is not her fault and that the man needs to pay for this, but she's been begging me to just let it go. She only confided in me because she's really scared of getting pregnant.

According to her though, there was never any real penetration, but the man (who is a high ranking government official) actually "released" ON her, not IN her. (Does that even make sense?)
How can I handle this issue right now? For me, I am planning to go all out and let hell break loose and let the heavens fall if they have to.

SeeWahala:
And what part of Nigeria will suffer the ill effects of an extension of ebilokan's evil regime? Isn't it the same impoverished northerners?

Oga, let them go ahead and carry their votes and give tilumbu, at the end of the day we will settle down and count scores

SeeWahala:
All these PDAPC moles have started coming out to create threads again?

How many times will we say it . . . PETER OBI DIDN'T GO TO ADC BECAUSE OF ATIKU ehn?

Peter obi will be a presidential candidate, if ADC doesn't give him that ticket then we will follow him out of ADC to wherever else he feels comfortable running from.

Him and his over 10 million voters strong obidients

RISQUE:
Then no dey analyse nonsense. I care less about your project agenda.

RISQUE:
Let that be Peter Obi’s worries and not yours ogaa

FreeStuffsNG:
“The university should be the one to be at the forefront. There is no way that you produce a graduate whose identity is being questioned, and then you keep quiet.

I didn't read anywhere he mentioned his parents/ guardian or matured family members or even his Olori Ebi. They should appear in this kind of interview.

That is the strange part of his story for me.

Parents and relatives are always beside their wards during a period like this.

Jamiu, Baba e ati Iya re nkọ?

Racoon:
There was also a time Russia was part of Yugoslavia, then it the called USSR. I remember Montenegro and Serbia once also broke out from it. Next Boznia and Hego.

Well, the rise and fall of political empires/dynasties are considered as normal political sequence of events.

AdesegunSanni89:
It is Peter Obi's suggestions that are actually focusing on the optics.. wearing mourning cloth bla bla bla..Whats important is the action of the government following the visit e.g. the activity of the elder's committee set up by the president and other directives. Who cares whether the president wears agabada. Obi is very shallow and keeps exposing himself as an hypocrite.

fuckingAyaya:
The unborn child in her womb is from divinity no evil can crush the child.

naptu2:
Dr Ope Banwo led the Naija Lives Matter structure within the Obidients Movement. He developed an app for the movement. However he has had a few clashes with Obidients.

His first clash occured when he was asked to pay some money to join a Peter Obi Support Group and to collapse his Naija Lives Matter structure into the support group. He refused. That was in 2022.

His second clash occurred after the elections when he tweeted that the elections were over and he was going to reconcile with his friends that he argued with during the campaigns (he reconciled with Segalink). He said that everybody should move on since elections were over. Obidients attacked him for this message.

This present clash occurred because he has been away for Twitter for a while and he came back to see that Obidients were attacking Akin Olaoye (Akin Tollgate) and accusing him of being a mole. He condemned the attacks, but he was also attacked by Obidients.


Dr. Ope Banwo @opebanwo



https://x.com/opebanwo/status/1932138611228438973?t=OQ9N0p5v3S5vg9BXGGj4Kw&s=19[/quote]Na u know the group u go belong to or the people u met that was asking u for money. There are several obidients with large followership online and this does not mean they lead the movement. The only head of the movement is Peter Obi.
I am an obidient and I don’t know you… I don’t have anybody I report to. Obidient more than a movement is an ideal and it’s anybody that identify with the persona, ideas, virtues, morals and aspirations of Peter Obi.
Those online and whoever you have had adealing with are not the millions that voted for and supported Peter Obi the last time. Carry yourself go one corner abeg

NwekeUG:
All I got from Peter Obi was a handshake, But if I had met President Tinubu, he would have given me money.

Same Peter Obi that cant successfully manage ordinary Labour Party with only few members. This is the reality, I’d even pick a Wike as president ten times over Peter Obi
