Wainey:
Those words from Obi really hurt some persons sha.
He should have just visit Wike privately and tell him this instead of openly telling him that others ambitions doesnt matter except his own.

The LP gubernatorial candidate did not recover from that betrayal.

christejames:
Obi is not educationally weak even in economics, IMF will even come visiting him for some economic tutorials

Yet he did not grow Anambra beyond what Ngige managed in 3years, while not owing workers salary like Obi?

Let us not forget when they begged for votes so that the same person they hailed as Wicked Wike, can deliver Rivers votes for them in his typical fashion.

If Wike could do it for PDP in 2015 and 2019, why is it only a crime when he did it again in 2023 for APC?

Peter Obi was so desperate to fulfil is ambition to become President, even to the point that he was ready to rubbish the gubernatorial candidate of Labour Party.

It was only about his own ambition. The rest can go to hell.

“I will talk to my people and we will negotiate. If we leave the state for him (referring to Wike), he will leave the federal for us. We will negotiate it. We know you’re in charge,” Obi said...

“We will not quarrel with you. Anybody who quarrels with you doesn’t know what he is doing. I will not try it. I’m begging. Please give us this one and take the other one. We will leave for you. I will accommodate them in the other one...


“Remember this agreement today. I’m kneeling down and begging. Take this one, give me this one. I assure you the one I will take, I will use it to ensure that Rivers state becomes greater and better,” he added.

Very desperate to the point of kneeling and begging for power, yet he got nothing.

SpartaOfLagos:
Your plan to kill rivers people so you could steal their votes and give to APC will fail.

But you would not mind the same killing to secure votes by Wike, like how Peter Obi was begging him knowing how he did it for PDP in 2015 and 2019?

Did Obi not even promise to surrender LP gubernatorial candidacy, just to get Wike to provide him the votes of Rivers?

DMerciful:
Tinubu never got more than 3million votes.
The votes were inflated by INEC and ratified by the compromised judiciary.

Its the lack of legitimacy that affecting his performance. Tinubu will remain the worst illegitimate president Nigeria ever had

No you are even wrong, Tinubu only got the votes of his wife and son.

Every other Nigerian voted for the gbajue mandate thief that did not succeed, even with his tears.

Newton2024:
President of Iragbiji village abi?

LOL!

Time reveals all.

OneCandleAway:
The Ghana government has found a way to tap into the tourism potential of the African Americans who want to reconnect with their African roots.
Something your Nigerian government doesn't have the foresight to do. Insecurity won't even allow it. You think Ghana will allow some fulanis to cause mayhem unchecked.

Until you travel to see how well organised some smaller African countries are, you'll keep living in delusion of Giant of Africa.

I totally agree with this.

How many foreigners have come to visit Badagry or any of the other slave exit points from Nigeria?

But they are always in Ghana to visit all these slavery related tourist destinations.

Even I have visited such places in Ghana, but haven't visited any in my own country.

We do not understand the tourism potentials.

I hope they can train them properly on how to combat insurgency and guerrilla warfare.

Remind us the relevance of Rivers State votes to Tinubu's presidential victory at almost 2million votes ahead of his closest opponent?

Also remind us how River's state minimum of 25% votes would have prevented Tinubu's Presidency when he already had that minimum 25% in 28 other states to beat the 24 state requirement?

Your concern should be how Atiku who was stuck at 25% votes requirement in 19states, or Obi who managed 25% votes in a paltry 16states, will make up for their shortcoming if they choose to challenge their political senior again?

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, is not their mate.

Tinubu is already where Atiku and Obi have been doing political prostitution and ticket hunting just to attain.

Guess what?

Tinubu achieved it in his very 1st attempt and did not cry over a failed political ambition.

Labour Party is a desperate special purpose vehicle.

A rickety one at that.

Eriokanmi:
Instead of Fubara to go to the evil party, he'd be comfortable with LP. Nobody wants to identify with evil

You mean the special purpose vehicle that was only exploited by failed PDP and APC aspirants to drive their candidacy for political power?

I wonder what you will say about LP when the ticket hunters move on to another special purpose vehicle?

Lizzysamuel:
This is politics 101. The camp of the Nigeria political philistines will be unsettled. 27 has started, renewed hope is buried.
What's the next sluggish slogan of lies?

Your mouth is smelling of propaganda.

Political Philistines?

Obi and his supporters have bigotry in their blood.

They followed Jonathan and said the uncircumcised Philistine called Buhari will never rule Nigeria and Northern Muslims will never rule Nigeria again, but they failed.

They used religious warfare politics to engage Tinubu, but he gave them a bloody nose, so they failed again.

Now you have started on the same religious bigotry?

Well, your arrogance will be humbled like Peter Obi who boasted he will not be found campaigning in Kano or Katsina or wherever in the North that Nasir el Rufai comes from.

Now Obi is walking the footsteps of Bola Tinubu to build alliances in the North, the same one for which Tinubu was termed by your ilk as a unity beggar and desperate politician.

Peter Obi is now crawling all over the North, even to the point where his fellow Igbos are rejoicing.

Even when Peter Obi visits a Northern beggar, Igbos rejoice more than when same Peter Obi visits the Obi of Onitsha.

Humility, a very kind teacher that scatters the proud hearted.

Very impressive score in Physics and Chemistry.

If not for the need to get an employable course, this girl should have gone for a pure science degree.

bestofthisyear:
The guy is a complete failure and is easily one of the worst govenors in nigeria. How many people have died on the deathtrap of an express road, children don't even have common restrooms in schools, govt workers don't receive pay and he wants to insult the intelligence of the people with empty talks of uncompleted projects. He should take notes from his counterpart in Enugu and all he has done. He has made visible strides for the people but for Obi his pocketbook comes first. When private offers were made to assist in developing infrastucture he refused because it would make him look bad. He has the biggest market in west africa in onitsha and not even 1% of its potential has been reached. The tax revenue from onitsha alone could fund projects in the state. You have a cash cow in a dormant port which could benefit not only anambra but the whole south and east region and decongest the traffic in lagos. These are just the obvious failures. He should be punished for his enormous disappointing tenure.

Did you later support and vote for same Peter Obi to become Nigerian President?

Afam4eva:
I keep getting contradictory information regarding the performance of Peter Obi. I don't know which one to believe. All I can say is if Onitsha is yardstick for rating he's government then he has failed woefully because Onitsha has remained an eye sore that has refused to heal. Though I don't know much about other parts of Anambra. Thanks God he'll be leaving in 2 years timr(I think). So that we can try someone else. That's if Nigeria still exists by then.

Chai!

Thank God he will be leaving, yet you later wanted him to be President of Nigeria?

Haaa!

senbonzakurakageyoshi:
ha, peter obi. one just has to take a look at onitshsa, the gateway to the southeast from the southwest to know how monumentally Mr Obi has failed. I passed through Onitsha not too long ago and was appaled by the level of disorder and apparent absence of government presence there. It was so appalling i had to take pictures, to document the anomaly. The only acceptable area was the G.R.A, every where else seemed joined together paper gum; a city falling apart. Is it just that? How about dabbling in the affairs of other parties in other states? Being one of the first to run to Abia when Theodore Orji left the ppa to cobgratulate him. Being one of the first to run to Abuja to congratulate GEJ too, something governors of opposition parties all shunned. Serious governors like Fashola and Chime spend less time talking and more aorking. Peter Obi just hogs the press, puts up these huge billboards of minor achievements all over onitsha. Infact, commenting on the man's achievements is an excercise in futlility.here else seemed joined together paper gum; a city falling apart. Is it just that?

So, Obi has always been a propaganda politician even as Governor?

This is my line of thought too.

Many have suddenly forgotten who they preferred as Governor, and have become sympathy supporters of Gov Fubara.

Politics in Nigeria is very advanced, but governance isn't.

Hunchogee:
They’re not dumb na

So if they are not dumb, why all the crocodile tears over government land that was never sold to anyone?

Or you mean he is now better informed?

Antell95:
Despite feeding the nation's treasury with oil money, the youths of south south Nigeria are wallowing in poverty. I AM READY TO JOIN THE MILLITANT, does anyone have a clue on how i could go about that? ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

What about Tompolo and Asari that woke up before?

Are you saying they are now sleeping on the millions of petro-dollars they secured for themselves?

Are you trying to replicate their template to secure some oil money for yourself also, seeing that you did not even pretend by claiming environmental degradation or any other noble reason besides the oil money?

What poverty are you talking about in the NigerDelta?

Are all Nigerians not working to make ends meet, while all state governments get their statutory monthly allocations from the federal government, such that oil producing states get more?

All the amnesty programme and NDDC and NigerDelta Ministry packages never reach to develop that side?

Na your own agitation to swallow fufu go finally develop that side?

My guy, no fufu for you.

Go and find work to do.

seanfer:
Wike also sponsored 5 house members against Amaechi in 2013/2014... Evans Bippi was the speaker then

You forget that Chidi Lloyd used the mace to reset the head of Evans Bipi?

And Wike was acting with Federal Power to do all he did that was supported by those who hailed him as wicked Wike then, but are now bearing the brunt of that wickedness?

Does Fubara have federal power?

If he can abuse power, the federal government above him can do likewise.

Putinofrussia:
That is the problem.
FG will proclaim a state of emergency in which case Gov Fubara will be helpless.It will last until the conflict is deemed to be over.
Military will take over the state and dem own na obey before complain.

Military has never taken over any state because a state of emergency is declared by the federal government.

That Obasanjo chose to use some RETIRED military personnel to serve as interim Governors, did not mean military took over any function of governance. Instead, the appointed person took over, not any military.

A retired military personnel is already a civilian, hence can function in a civil role just like Obasanjo and Buhari did.

Mystic216:
They should leave this man alone to do his job

Fighting godfatherism is the best and easiest way for a country to progress

Fubara should fight godfatherism the same way Peter Obi fought

Oppression is a very bad thing

Power drunk Wike has unleashed his mad dogs to frustrate this man while pretending to be neutral

Which godfather did Obi fight when he was the godfather himself?

Or you have him mistaken for Ngige who actually fought godfather?

While teaching the arithmetic, remember that your main student has federal powers with which he can lecture you in Further Maths.

yewit37486:
See the person calling others ignorant. Smh.

You want to disgrace yourself today?

If you do not know anything about currency exchange and economic size or performance, better keep quiet and learn.

Tallesty1:
Giant no dey top ten




Why is Binance not affecting their Currencies?

The Italian Lira was so low to the dollar when Naira was above the dollar.

Yet it did not mean because a N1 Pencil in Nigeria in the early 90s would cost about 300 Lire, that our economy was better than Italy that is a G8 member state.

FreeStuffsNG:
Lol @ Ghana (cedis) that redenominated by knocking off 4 zeroes and now devalued significantly even after devaluation.

Exactly!

For the ignorant, currency and economy are not the same.

When Naira was equal to the Pound Sterling and above the US Dollar, it did not mean our economy was any miles close to that of USA or Britain.

Same reason why the British economy is no where close to the US, despite that the Pound Sterling is above the dollar.

If Nigeria decides to remove 4 zeros like how Ghana did before 2008, our currency will be higher than the dollars, yet our economy won't be any better for it, besides eliminating the inferiority complex that ties to the exchange rate for those who are ignorant.

dubra:
I don't really understand what's going on in the country anymore, it's our president we are talk about for God's sake

Are you unaware that the President has returned and is busy with his job which has been reported with different activities and engagements?

Or where do you expect to see the President if not at his duty post?

Nice of him.

I hope the Nigerian government is providing them all the healthcare they need in their service to the country.

Greatconcept12:
Well if you are in the US, you earn in Dollars. I think 6k dollars shouldn't be too much for you since you earn in dollars.

You have no business converting to Naira. You don't earn in Naira over there

And that $6000 that many do not earn in a month, is supposed to be snack change?

E reach to do coastal road, probe enter the discussion.

This is a serious matter.
