If you can't answer my questions because you didn't draw the budget, why are you against someone who talks about the budget? Since you did not draw the budget, how are you sure that Obi's opinion is wrong for the budget?

Obi's opinion is not about wrong or right, he did not challenge the authenticity of the budget amount or claim it should have been a lesser amount. It is simply his own preference for more library books as opposed to government having records of the poor. Simply put, he does not see the need for such expenditure.

An ignorant fellow who does not know the benefit of having a digital database of the poor to effect better national planning.

kokoA:
I don't agree with Obi on this. I don't have a problem with the amount spent on verifying the social register, what we should be concerned about is if the money was used judiciously for the purpose, people can't read books when the stomach is empty.

As simple as ABC.

Peter Obi has his own preferred way to spend the money, but he his not the President.

Let him go to the streets and tell the masses that he would rather buy more books in the national library while they are hungry.

He was not called wicked and visionless Governor for nothing.

Brendaniel:
Where in my comment did I say that, do you read with your eyes or your nose, please show me where I said the money will be stolen?

Verification or social register that does not even exist and reviving a library that exist are they the same thing?

Where in my own comment that you replied did I say the money should be stolen as opposed to serving the budgeted project of obtaining records?

You see that you were foolish to imply that every budgeted fund is for stealing.

immortalcrown:
First of all, answer my questions.

What justifies the budget for the exercise?

Will the government employe new staff for the exercise? Aren't there public servants already working in the sectors that will handle the exercise?

Will new equipment be bought for the sectors? If yes, what happened to the existing equipment in those sectors or have those sectors been existing without the necessary equipment?

Your question is not for me to answer. I did not draw up the budget, nor did Peter Obi make any criticism about how the budget came about.

Peter Obi is suggesting that the funds could do something else, just as his own suggested spending of the funds could also do something else that other critics think is more critical.

Criticism should be constructive and not default.

I repeat, if he becomes President, he should worry about books in the national library and not about the poor.

SpatialKing:
Do you even understand the importance of library?

Do you understand the importance of having a record/database of the poor in the country, and the resultant national planning efforts that will come off it?

Is that record not also a national library for national planning, or Peter Obi is too analog to know that a digital database is also a library?

Peter Obi thinks a National Library should only be about books and educational materials?

A real doofus he is.

Brendaniel:
Oga, according to Sir Francis Bacon he said knowledge is power , no wonder the northern leaders fight against education for their followers and see how the north is today.

So you are saying it was better the money was stolen by Betta Edu and Tunji Ojo with their cronies than investing in Education for the citizens? No wonder you people support people like Buhari and Tinubu...

You are confirming that every money budgeted would be stolen, even if it was budgeted on National Library as Peter Obi posited?

Joey4321:
This comment is proof that Nigerians cannot be helped.

You want to help Nigerians with National Library?

By the time you answer these questions, you will understand that the move the government wants to make and the message Obi is passing.

The message Obi is passing is that he too would have spent the funds on something that does not address the hunger in the land.

The government has dedicated such funds to set up a structure that will generate and track records about those who are poor in Nigeria, which I reckon is to allow subsequent planning.

Obi is not interested in that, and complained that the National Library needs more funds and it is more critical.

So he has his own ideas, as the government have theirs.

Just as it was more critical to have Anambra public funds saved in his bank while Anambrarians who suffered his actions confirmed he was a wicked and visionless Governor.

If he becomes the President, let him spend public funds on his own ideas, while the critics then also suggest what better way things could have been done.

immortalcrown:
Only sentimentalists will disagree with Obi on this.

Do you agree that such funds could have been better expended on the national library as posited by Peter Obi?

Would the masses that are suffering multidimensional poverty consider that as a better expenditure?

If the same amount had been budgeted for the national library, the loser would have found another excuse why that was not good enough.

In his own time as Governor, he locked up public funds in his own bank so that the bank can thrive and his own personal wealth can grow.

Yet the masses of Anambra suffered and many were destitute in Lagos while many languished in Asian jails when they embraced drug trafficking to escape the poverty in their state that then had this doofus as Governor.

Then he hid his corruption enabled state capture wealth in offshore accounts under his daughter's name.

Odogwuzack:
Hahaha I didn't even see that earlier.

The truth is the real pain of these guys is the pain of defeat.

Very pained tribal bigot.

He abandoned Muslim-Muslim matter and made it a Yoruba matter in line with his well documented tribal bigotry.

Nbotee:
This is the truth about what they have done. Oga exposed the them without knowing. If you are saving, shouldn't it be the monies the govt claimed it was using to pay for the subsidy that it will no longer spend? How come you are taking money from private citizens and calling it savings?. They simply came up with a way to extort Nigerians more and made it seem like they did us a favour

Are you not spending from your pocket to buy fuel that is not subsidized while Government keeps the erstwhile subsidy funds in their own pocket?

Government is making you spend money that you were saving, while they are saving money they were spending. Same logic applies to the increased dollar exchange.

English is not that difficult.

Bendeco2020:
Tinubu greed will finish yourbas politically finally. Those of them playing tribal card are very short sited.

Once tinubu finish his tenure, it will be hard for yoruba man to rule Nigeria again because Nigerians have known them now.

Tinubu administration will expose the true color of yoruba fully.

They use to play the good tribe from South and manipulate others to see Igbos as bad people but Peter Obi has spoiled their Jazz, that's why they hate him with passion.

They hate Obasanjo because he's not a tribal bigot like an average yoruba man.

See lamentations of a bigoted loser.

A leopard cannot change its spots.

Bendeco2020:
My advice to all fellow south easterners in the group.... Let's come together and work/promote south east presidency... As you can see, some people here already hate Igbos from birth without even any reason. They are the people saying that all Nigeria hate Igbos. Just because they hate Igbos they thaught that other people are also haters like them.

Nonny95:
The only party that merged is only ACN.

Till date, SDP and AD are existing. What are you then saying?

Stop disgracing yourself.

The SDP that you think you know only got founded a few years ago with INEC allowing new party registration from time to time.

The SDP of 1992/1993 elections died with the start of the Abacha regime.

Anyone can chose to restart NCNC or Action Group too after many decades of non-existence.

AD had many factions with many factional Chairmen, as manipulated by PDP to prevent competition. The faction of AD that Tinubu belonged to, chose to form another party and exited AD with all its political offices it had in the different states and at the National Assembly.

It was not about a single man jumping about to another existing party, but a faction of a party forming another party from scratch.

Effort and patience, something many political prostitutes and ticket hunters like Atiku and Obi, do not have.

Nonny95:
You see how hypocritical you are.

When it comes to Tinubu, he moved to another party. But others they defected. Lmao.

You can continue to square the circle. Na you dey do yourself

You are both ignorant and a hypocrite if you do not understand the difference between a political entity evolving versus a member of a political entity moving about to partake in the benefits available in other political entities.

I ask you again, what work and patience did Peter Obi ever put in to grow the party he belonged to in 1998 to become the Labour Party he will soon decamp from?

Nonny95:
You can see how naive and hypocritical you are?

Why the aside SDP? Oh. That one isn't part of your transformation? Because I backed up my argument with fact?

AD, ACN have different ideologies.

The AD of late 90s was pan Yoruba, ACN was Partly pan Nigeria. Edo state is a example.

Ngige equally ran under ACN. Like I said before, allow learning to enter your head. This is a free class from me and I won't give it further. You're free to dwell in your own deceit and lies.

You must be a kid not to know that both SDP and NRC which were the political parties that contested elections in 1992 and 1993, were already defunct by the time Abacha began his own democratic transition in 1995/1996 with 5 new political parties.

All the 5 political parties of the Abacha era were also sent packing by the Abdulsalami regime that sanctioned the created of only 3 political parties (PDP, APP, and AD) out of about 8 new parties that applied.

So what sense does it make talking about a defunct party just because another party chose to bear the same name many decades later?

Tinubu joined AD as a founding member in 1998, then with all the factional problems that PDP and Obasanjo was sponsoring in the other contending political parties, his own faction in AD pulled out and formed AC/ACN, then ACN went into a political merger with CPC and ANPP and factional APGA to form APC.

Tinubu has been growing his same political group to become the ruling APC we have now in Nigeria.

Same way Peat Marwick merged to become KPMG with the PM being Peat Marwick, same can be said about PWC.

What work and patience did Peter Obi ever put in to grow a small party into a national party, besides jumping about looking for finished work all the time?

We now want to make a joke over a serious matter.

Since we don't want to have sense, I heard she also bought the whole Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

people who pay these agents and traffickers know exactly what they are doing. When he cast they will come out to cry wolf.Alot of Nigerians also entered UK with arrangee marriages to tag along as dependants

Nigerians have no scruples.

This arrangee marriage to tag along is what irritates me the most.

How will parents know and accept that their daughter is getting married legally to a fake husband just because the husband will sponsor their trip to the UK, to later divorce when she is about done with her Master's course?

Even if Dangote buys Crude Oil at international price that has been set, then his refined products should be cheaper that what we import, as importation (shipping) and port and custom charges have been totally eliminated.

Also, the cost of labour to operate his refinery in Nigeria is way cheaper than the cost of labour of the foreign refineries whose products we have been importing.

You are the one not understanding the situation on ground, he is refusing to pay cause even the ones in USA don’t ask up to that, if the ones in USA are asking up to that amount also it won’t be a problem but the ones in USA and uk didn’t ask up to that but u, wey dey 9ja dey ask for that, is she mad, she should get a job instead, no be the same idiot that asked him for 20m for birthday party lol, if na so then adeleke, dangote and otedola dey spend money lavishly without investing they won’t have the name they have today

What is $800 per month as Nanny fee in the USA?

That has to be a cheap Nanny.

Throwback:
What it points to is an acceptance of defeat by the Igbos who know they have burnt bridges all over Nigeria and cannot really compete against any other Southerner, be it SouthWest or SouthSouth, and win the votes of other Nigerians. It is a sorry admission of defeat.

They want the Presidency, but want the rest of the South to back out of it and give it to them on a platter, because they are entitled to the loyalty and service of others, and that way, the rest of Nigeria who already find them obnoxious would be forced to vote for them as the only aspirants for the presidential primaries of the 2 major parties.


Even the PDP primary of 1998 in Jos, that produced an Obasanjo candidacy, had many other Southerners (Ekwueme, Etiebet, Alabo Graham Douglas, Philip Asiodu, et all) contesting. But the Igbo man already knows he is a political failure as he wasn't innately blessed with the patience, humility, subtle cajoling and compromise such delicate enterprise requires. He simply knows he will fail at it, and would rather have a situation where his candidacy is a gift tendered to him by others who were sure to inflict a defeat.


While I am certain that SouthWest and SouthSouth politicians in PDP will contest for the presidential primaries in 2022 for the 2023 elections, the Igbos have determined they will vote for a Northerner, even if no Northerner is contesting just as no Southerner contested this last PDP primary whose ticket had already been zoned to the general North.

It is a sorry state of affairs for politics in Igboland, and it is certain the self destruction will continue much longer.

Since the Igbos already accepted primary defeat, we might end up having a SouthWesterner on the ticket of both PDP and APC, or a SouthSoutherner on both party tickets, or a straight showdown between the SouthWest and the SouthSouth in an APC vs PDP showdown.

The most intriguing aspect of the Igbo mindset in all these political calculations, is the fact that they have already decided on behalf of the SouthSouth, as though the SouthSouth have told them they are not themselves interested in being president of Nigeria in 2023 and would rather have a Northerner continue forever as it is the Igbo ecstasy. Igbos just sit in their beer parlours in Nnewi and make a decision on behalf of the mono-ethnic SE and the multi-ethnic SS, but would then claim betrayal for a loyalty that was never promised, if things don't go according to their own selfish tribal agenda.


The SouthEast has already reiterated its irrelevance in all these calculations, and no amount of terrorism and rebellion will gift them presidential tickets of either APC or PDP, having already betrayed their inability to compete with other players.

If APGA likes as an Igbo party, they can go to the North and search for an unwilling Northerner just to prove to us their preference for slavery beneath the North that we all know too well. It would not stop that Northerner from losing to a Southerner as was the case of the Northern Bashir Tofa with SouthEast support, against the Southern MKO Abiola who was victorious without SouthEast support.


I would be happy to watch the SouthEasterners traversing the North and begging for a gworo chewing janjawee.d uncircumcised philistine "Fulani" bastard, who they can serve again with their assured and beloved Vice-Presidential role, like the minions that they are, at a time they should be campaigning for the presidency like the rest of the South, just because they cannot compete against the rest of the South like the Northerners across the 3 zones just did in PDP.

Just as I posited.

Slam your head before a shrine, cry to any demons trust me you won't love yourself on that, Atiku Abubakar is Nigeria's next President. Who are your miserable 'south westerners' you are referring to?

Where is Atiku now? Abi na Siddiq?

They need to protect him from homosexual influences in his new society.

Because they will surely come looking for him.

They don't support opposition views but that can occupy ojota with protest...their day of reckoning is coming.

Your own dilemma is what you are projecting in the reverse.
