kufre2010:
Tinubu with no ancestry traced to Lagos. And his ancestry and family linage in Osun state I'm asking where is Tinubu from because I know he did not fall from the sky. Who where his parents and were where they really come from?. How can some politicians asked us to vote someone we don't really know. The same people that made us vote Bihari who ancestry is traced to Niger Republic.

NETCEO:
Good day all.

So, today I came across a post on this forum and the regular numerous attacks against Peter Obi’s leadership in Anambra.

I have just few things to drop in and I feel it’s better to say some of them on my own created topic (thread).

I can’t say much either but I know too well that my brain is programmed to remember older things than recent stuffs. That’s just me and maybe you can call ur retentive brain/memory.

NOTE: this post is not about politics or elections. It’s just a short epistle of my experience growing up in Anambra and to be precise, in one of the major old city of the country; Onitsha.

Also note that information here may not be 100% correct but I’m saying each and everything as much as I can remember. I remember a lot though because I experienced everything first hand and my family never go a day without listening to 6 o’clock news (courtesy of my father 🥰)


I was in late primary school when Mr. Peter Obi was elected as the governor in 2006. He took over from Nigige kind of through court case which lasted for some years.

The sweetest days of my school days was before Dr. Chris Ngige entered. It was then Chinwoke Mbadinuju was the governor. During Mbadinuju tenure, Mehn, every week or month, there must be Industrial Strike and it was too fun for us then.

I grew up in a busy street though the whole of Onitsha is very busy and over populated. So, anytime we went to school, we will be hoping to hear another Strike so that we will all go home and play. It was very fun as we have series of play in different season those days. I can’t forget those days 😄😁😁

Fast forward to when Ngige won the election through Godfatherism of the then Uba Family in Anambra. I can’t tell much about his tenure but everyone knows his tenure gave rise to the kidnapping in Anambra state. School pupils are being kidnapped, etc.

The worst incident during Ngige tenure was that he was kidnapped. Thereby making him the first governor to be kidnapped in Office. The news was so bad that my dad asked us (mum & siblings) not to talk it out outside to avoid arrest 😳

He was then released after 3 days or so.

Everything was going fine then though schools engage in riots and protest one or more time every term then. It was a thing of the secondary school students. They’ll visit every primary school and ask us to go home whenever they’re protesting about high rate of education and other issues. They will break into any secondary school and forcefully make other students to join them in the protest.

Most times, they engage in destruction of shops and vehicles while protesting. Some students will likely sustained injuries or faint during the protest. I have senior brothers and our first son seldom engage in it.

Some notable schools around that are very stubborn and always ready for the strike in our environment are Metropolitan secondary schools, Washington memorial Grammar School, Our Ladies (awa-awa 😂), Nkpor boys, Ogboko schools etc.


PERER OBI IMPROVEMENT TO THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

When he won the court case and was sworn in as the governor. Things return to normalcy. People were hoping to see his amendments.

He made a free education for almost all class by cutting down the fee to the lowest minimum.

The fee students pays is for school maintenance and it goes this way;
Nursery and primary is free but books are supplied by school authorities and we paid for it.

Junior secondary of government schools in Onitsha pay 350 naira per term

Senior secondary school pays 950 per term.

I benefited from it while in late primary school

My older bro and sister benefited from the secondary school own.

I didn’t attend government sec school, I attended missionary school (St. Charles) and I was paying 4k+ per term then.

We didn’t suffer strike apart from the time of Mbadinuju which gave rise to so many private schools cox every week or month, there must be strike (it was fun though at those time cox we’re little kids and we have large number of children in our area. So, any day we approach school and there was strike (industrial strike I mean), we will happily go home and play all day until next week Monday when we will come back and check.

You guys should stop spilling nonsense on this forum.

Peter made educational system the best in Anambra in his own time.

He also did well in promoting the Igbo language cox every Wednesday in all school in Anambra state is IGBO DAY. That means you’re free to speak Igbo. No one will write your name for punishment for speaking vernacular.


Later on, I moved to Enugu after my junior secondary examination.
When I returned to Anambra later, I discovered that the IGBO DAY (Wednesday) has improved significantly to the extent that almost all school students wear a native cloth every Wednesday while going to school. It was a surprise to me and nice.


Mr. Peter Obi did so well.





Typing…

Alcatraz001:
Normally the campaign should be out to encourage the Nigerian people against what the Supreme Court and Tinubu are doing. If Obi loses, it will only be because the Nigerian people allow it. We must encourage ourselves and face the Supreme Court when the time is right.

We should all come out to vote and not mind their shenanigans. The only thing Tinubu has is a lot of money and rabid Islamists behind him. The Labour Party should be more serious ooo. They must not allow Tinubu bamboozle his way to the Presidency.

Emergingnation3:
Lol ! Afonja Muslim terrorist on the loose.. 😃😃

WhizdomXX:
O son of man, where art thou senses!


No matter how you express your beef and anger against him there are facts you cannot change which include;



1. He ran the most secured state in Nigeria during his tenure. Former IGP Abubarkar gave him 5 years accollades of the most secured state back to back for 5 years.



2. The minister of works then gave him the best accolade of a governor that built 800km of road network in 8years over 230 roads



3. Educationally , He met Anambra at 26th position in 2006 and left it at 1st by 2014 when he was leaving.



4. He was the only governor that met the millennium development goal in Nigeria in both education and health. In fact , Milinda and bill gate foundation gave him a personal gift of 1 million dollar for his achievement. Which he dropped in the state account rather than putting in his own private account.



5. He is the only former governor today that does not collect pension, gratuity, land gift and allowances since he left the govt in 2014.



6. When he became SEC chairman under President Jonathan, he told SEC to hold back all his allowance and entitlement as a Board chairman . He left without nothing. He said he does not need them.



7. When he was chairman of fidelity bank , he was entitled to two brand new cars annually. He told the board. I don't need them. Let me just come for meetings and go home.



You can only be angry with him. You cannot change the facts.

BurialGround:
A healthy man cannot say "Balabloo bloo bluu bulaba, gazelle gagalara in the middle of his speech.

There's a disconnect between the brain and the heart.

Tinubu's skull is empty.

ScamHunter:
All Nigerians have reached a consensus that he is the best, even Afenifere. So druggie is in the mud.

lordm:
Which bank?

chichar1:
take that your terrorist/ bandit bitch out of my mentions. Onye fulani terrorist!!!!!

Proudlyomonna:
Yet your bastard APC disaster and hardship pro max continue to release senseless long messages on every offline and street poll that pits your incoming President Peter Obi as winner
The joke is actually on you
Just dey Urchinate dey play dey go

Brendaniel:
Same protest your party will send soldiers to kill protesters then turn around and accuse Igbos of causing the protest.

The endsars protest exposed a lot in Nigeria, the deceit, the hate and so on, before any protest like end SARS will happen in Nigeria again, it may either be to divide the country or civilian unrest that will lead to a civilian coup.

It is now very hard to to have that kind of support from every region to make a protest.

Tinubu can never get that kind of protest support of endsars or Ojota protest during Jonathan, a lot has been exposed.

We now know who is who in Nigeria now...

ATIKU/MUTFWANG THE WAY OUT OF THE PRESENT calamities.
without a single doubt the APC has failed completely, even the democracy is gasping, our Judiciary is lifeless and our economy decaying.
We have one man who knows and is willing to salvage Nigeria, the GDP was high when he was with his president Yaradua take over and was doing well before APC brought about the confusion we now witness. The divided as across Geography, ethnicity and Religion and disunite us.
The unifier is here ATIKU is coming
The time is now

Newton2024:
We yoruba Christians will never vote Tinubu on Muslim-Muslim ticket because we are not fools. When MURIC terrorists told Yoruba Muslims not to vote Yoruba Christians, they all agree.

Christians are not minorities, slaves, or second class citizens in Nigeria. Mu-Mu ticket is a big insult to we Yoruba Christians and we shall punish Tinubu for that before Satan will also purnish him.

"We cannot appoint Pablo Escobar as president and Osama bin Laden as vice president," -- Senator Dino Melaye.

derecho:
I pity those who can't See Tinubu is behind all.these hardship.

SadiqBabaSani:
Tinubu has his hackers on standby to carry out shady Jobs, Zenith Bank is just one of the scapegoats 😡

Ventrue:
Nigerians pray for President Buhari and Godwin Emiefule to succeed. They are doing it for you and your children. The Lord is their strength!

Nigerians are remarkably resilient people. We have experienced unrest—the wild west, civil war, murder, dictatorship, economic collapses, terrorism, and many more.

Tinubu and his APC cabal are putting pressure on the president and Emiefule to use the billions of old naira to buy votes by creating currency and petrol shortages.

Through the bank managers, Tinubu's faction in the APC sabotages Buhari and Emiefule. All we can take is another 14 days. The Lord is with us.

No matter how President Buhari has erred, please let us be patient and put our faith in him this time. He is doing it for us and your future generations. Let President Buhari succeed if this is all he can do for us. History will vindicate him.

New Naira notes will swarm ATMs and markets the day following the voting procedures on February 25. Then you'll realize that Tinubu's camp is responsible for these scars. Thus says the LORD: "You shall not see wind, nor shall you see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, so that you, your cattle, and your animals may drink" (II Kings 3:17–18)

Coolsperm:
So what happened to the huge money Tinubu stole Tru bullion van during last election

Then the purpose has been defeated...
