Obidient are group of Igbo by the Igbo and for the Igbo.

Even the name is an Igbo name.


Obidient is 100% igbo. Igbo are obidient.

Is that an abomination?

Lolz, I did not defend the economy but gave you what should otherwise be an obvious perspective. Bandying GDP figures around without remembering our situation is ignorant if not mischievous. There was a removal of subsidies, the biggest factor in the whole equation. Would you rather have a better GDP and debt like Argentina? 646.08 billion US dollars GDP, $14,362 (nominal) or $31,380 (PPP) with over $500 billion debt, you prefer that?
You prefer 2014 when over two thirds of Nigerian states could not pay ordinary salaries and the coordinating minister of the economy was having headaches on national TV? When PMB was handing bail outs to states with nice GDP?
We should somehow leave out the Oil prices that peaked (100+/barrel), the oil crash in 2015, the Recession in 2016, COVID-19 lockdowns, oil prices collapsed ($20/barrel) in 2020? We should leave out Russia-Ukraine war that spiked inflation globally in 2022, and the Subsidy removal + Naira float that every candidate promised and all analysts have been asking for for years until it was implemented in 2023? We should wish all these away and expect a steady rise? You must be living in Saturn or something.

What a perspective built on emptiness of brains. No attribute of context specifics in your copy and paste work.

Argentina you mentioned as a reference point is to a large extent, better than Nigeria in all indices of economic development apart from debt to GDP ratio which Argentina has theirs as 78% while Nigeria's debt to GDP ratio is 55%.

Outside the above, Argentina is one of the G-20 economies, Argentina' HDI is very high, life expectancy is 77.5 Nigeria's life expectancy is 54.6, literacy level of Argentina is very high, ease of doing business very fantastic, low unemployment rate with a considerable quality of life. In all those listed above, what does Nigerian have? Can you imagine your country battling with 24.23 inflation rate?

Do you know what it means for a country to be crowned with the title of POVERTY CAPITAL OF THE WORLD?

Let's be pragmatic here, can you list any three positive indicators on the Nigeria's economy since 2015? Don't do your usual copy and paste work, reap up on data from IMF, World Bank. They are more reliable than your NBS.

frankson1:
From the tone in your writing, I can tell that you're most affected by this economy and couldn't hide it but you kept using "yours" pretending to be a citizen from another country.

I'm a bonafide citizen of Nigeria but not a proud citizen going by the obvious socio-political and economic gangsterism that has been enthroned in the name of leadership.

I expected you to address the context specifics and not showing your emptiness in thoughts.

TheWolfen:
Hello PHD certificate holders.
How do you feel today?

Don't denigrate the significance of education. Everyone must not be a billionaire.

Image123:
Because my conscience clearly knows that we're not earning or spending in dollars, dollars is just a global regulating unit. Per capita income means the average amount of money each person earns in a country or area in a year, that is if divided equal by population.
In 2015, we were about 190million. Today, we're over 230million people. If you know a little bit of arithmetic, you will see that we're earning far more in naira. The very fact that your brains can't process past being paid to see reality is why you can't see clearly and smell the coffee. It gladdens the people in power that you'd repeat and rinse in 2027.

In your state of naivety, you fail to have this little understanding that GDP per capita income is one of the quantitative indicators of economic development. Hence the need to ensure that the figures maintain a steady rise especially in a bastardized economy like yours. Any country with GDP per capita income that is below $4,000 is in a horrible condition, not to talk of yours that is below $1,000 and you are here displaying how daft you are both in critical thinking and common sense.

Common sense should have let you know that heart-breaking economic conditions of this nature are not worth defending irrespective of your disposition or inclination with anyone (whether in or out of power).

Image123:
No be only GDP, na PDP. Argentina is doing better GDP and owing about $500billion. IMF recently bailed them with debt of $20billion. NOI was having headache and struggling to pay salary with some useless GDP badge in office. States were borrowing heavily and unable to pay salaries that Buhari had to bail them a couple of times.
Today, companies are recording armed robber profits, states are getting more than double, reducing debts and not borrowing to do projects and "steal", and someone wants to be cursed with GDP.

Fun fact.
$1640 X 500= 820,000naira. Dollar was less than 500 before subsidy removal but let's be very nice.
$807 X 1500 =1,210,500 naira. Dollar is said to be 1,600 but let's be generous.
Na you know why you agree for gaslight. Better convert to CNG.

Can you see how naive and deceptive you are?

Why multiplying per capita income which is valued in US$ with the same US$ rate?

It's so glaring in your ugly face that the economy is in a terrible state and yet you are at one corner typing nonsense to deceive your gullible humans.

Just because of the little hand-out party agents are giving you, your conscience disappeared.

2mch:
So if he was President, this is how he will go around the world talking bad about Nigerians? Bitterness will never take you far o. Swear you did not pay that same money when you were running for Governor Obi your ambition is running you mad.

Another person identified

helinues:
That's better than labouring in vain

Your supporters are becoming nuisance as they don see shishi receive with their supports. The rate at which they have been describing hardship heh

One person identified

Is it the same National Assembly that approved his appointment?

This government has good script writers with fantastic actors and actresses.

Please don't be deceived

ClearFlair:
Nigerians will vote, not political parties. No matter the party you are, you will still come out and tell Nigerians your plan for Nigeria, then the people will decide. Joining APC means nothing. More Nigerians are wiser now

Don't hope on the votes...

That must be Kolawole. That's how they behave.

If this speech was made my Peter Obi, the social media space would have being on fire by now

Salewa97:
Falana don dey overstep these days.

How can you call for the sack of a man just because he exercised his constitutional powers?

What do you know about the Constitution?

OnionBandit:
The boy fit be creemeenal, but trust Peter Hoebi supporters to get emotional because he was their star boy when their fraud Messiah visited Lagos.

I can't imagine seeing a woman displaying arrogance and rascality in public with so much ease

Little wonder so many of you can't stay in your husbands' houses

The question is philosophical in nature and also requires a philosophical answer.

Answer: It is simply a demonstration of the imperfection in humanity.

nairavsdollars:
The boy no send Obi at all

Are you from house or home?

richmond500:
how many times did Obi visit prison when he was a governor?

Abeg leave politicians, they are only close to you when they need your votes and we always fall for it.

How much do you know Obi whe he was the governor of Anambra State?

Or you just wanted to drop a comment as usual

Ivens:
Hope they they don't complain of marginalization in the military years to come

What is the future of an Army recruit in the military carrier?

If only you know that death means nothing to Nigerians. Because they have seen a lot in this country

2019 and 2023 presidential elections are the most fraudulent elections since the return of civilian rule in 1999.
History will never forget how Prof. Yakubu built and consolidated electoral fraud in Nigeria.

JAMO84:
Once you stopped the insult, the killers will have no reason to kill.

It's easier for you, who claim to be civilised to stop unnecessary blabbering than to stop the miserable extremists.

And I think it's foolish for anyone to think we are fighting for God. I have seen people here who threatened to kill anyone who disrespect Oba of Benin. It's the institution he represents, not he himself. I don't expect you to understand because we Muslims don't insult Jesus the way you Christians do.

Can you imagine yourself defending the barbaric killings you and your Muslim people are committing?

Why juxtaposing Oba of Benin who is a human being like you and your Prophet Muhammad whom you claim is your God? Are they the same?

Why is Boko Haram and other terrorist organizations killing people in the name of Allah? In this case, tell me why people will not criticise the barbaric and intolerant religion?

If you claim your so called Prophet Muhammad is truly a God, then he should be strong enough to fight for himself just like other religions always leave their fights in the hands of their God to fight for them.

Imagine a Muslim cleric saying that if you leave Islam, that you should be killed as a punishment. How does this sound to you as a global citizen?

JAMO84:
So, insulting prophet Mohammed is part of freedom of expression?

If there's one thing I hate about being a Muslim, it is Islam forbidding me from insulting Jesus. If we can insult Jesus like those filts insult Mohammed, there would have been no need to get physical.

Blasphemy will continue to be dangerous, whether you all like it or not. Even Jesus was crucified for blasphemy, but I guess most Christians don't even know that.

Just keep your miserable opinions about other people's religion to yourselves, and everyone will be fine.

Why not leave your vengeance in the hands of your prophet Muhammad to fight for you? Why killing your fellow humans in the name of religion? If your prophet Muhammad feels insulted, he should be able to fight for himself. Or is he not a god to fight for himself?

Stop killing your fellow humans in the name of defending your religion. It's barbaric, inhuman and evil.

LibertyRep:
Why is the man dismantling everything and erecting new political structures? Is he planning to spend more than 6 months?

He should be preoccupied with maintaining law and order. Appointment of LG administrators shouldn't even be part of it.

My brother, we don't know this man's core agenda ooh

plouchea24:
Blantant lies. Forget Nigeria constitution. Senate standing rules and order is much more stronger than that. Senators are not under the oath to that. They have their rules considered stronger and much enshrined than Nigeria constitution. You can not file a lawsuit against a sitting Senator.

Can you state a section of the Senate Standing Rule that says you cannot sue a senator?

I will then recommend section 1 (3) of the same 1999 constitute as amended. On that particular section, you will have an understanding of the supremacy of the Constitution over all other laws of the country including the Senate Standing Rules.

We can always share knowledge bro

Ebubu:
Akpabio will simply tell the APC judge to throw the suit away.
You are dragging a sitting senator protected from immunity to court.
Waste of money.

Go and read section 308 of the 1999 Constitution as amended. That particular section will guide your thoughts on who are entitled to be under the umbrella of immunity.

What is Ogun State Governor doing on the list abeg?

Samantha125:
Someone needs to tell this man to trim his beard, because what kind of a bush is this?

But anyways, if tables were turned, they'd have said the woman is a gold digger... The husband feels emasculated simply because the wife didn't include his name as well, like no one is stopping him from also buying his own property in his name.

How can you be encouraging division in a union?

k777:
Suggestive comments towards her and sometimes in the presence of other Senators that isn't sexual harassment. She definitely needs help mentally.

Sexual harassment has no defined territory upon which it can be perpetrated. In other words, it's not only in secrecy you can sexually harass somebody.

Ahmed0336:
As a lawyer, if she have enough evidence why not take akpabio to court? Why all these interviews if I may ask?

Do you have credible people in the judiciary to trust the judgement they will dish out?

If that's the case, Wike and his gang will continue bombing oil pipelines so that the Sole Administrator will stay more in power
