On Peter Obi’s supposed ‘Stinginess’....

Sometime in 2009, ‘Mr’(as he preferred to be addressed) Peter Obi, Governor Of Anambra State at the time, visited Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and myself at Dallas, Texas. He came to deliver a get well message from Dr Goodluck Jonathan and was billed to attend a black tie event at the Dallas Marriot. Curiously, he flew into Dallas airport with one small carry on luggage which he insisted on wheeling around himself, and on getting to our residence requested to freshen up.

He opened his carry on, filled with files and paperwork and a few toiletries and an extra shirt, when the Ikemba and I asked if he was expecting another item of luggage, and he said no.
‘Then, what will you be wearing to the event tonight?’, we inquired. It was at that point that it struck him that he couldn’t show up in his casuals at such a ceremony.

I insisted on taking him to the luxury men’s emporium at Nieman Marcus to buy a smart black suit. When we got there, he was busy doing the currency conversions. The suit that was a perfect match for him was a dapper Tom Ford suit with a price tag of 3,985 dollars plus tax. He did the calculations and told me ‘do you know how many students this amount of money can train in Nigeria?’ I reminded him that he was the governor as well as the special guest, and for the caliber of guests expected at that evening’s occasion, including the mayor, senators and captains of conglomerates, he needed to be dressed in top form.

To cut the story short, he refused to pay what he termed that ‘outrageous’ price for the suit and that was how we ended up at Steinmart where he agreed to pay a more acceptable price of 220 dollars, tax inclusive for a basic men’s suit which he was happy to wear to that evening’s event.

What struck me, was that as we were on the way to the airport to see him off for his return flight back to Nigeria, he reached for his pocket where he brought out an envelope of crisp hundred dollar bills. The amount in the envelope was 3,800 dollars.

He said ‘ Anyanwu, this is the balance of the money I would have paid for the ‘Ford’ suit. If the label on the suit was ‘Peter Obi’, I am wondering if anybody in America will pay that amount for it. I have deducted the amount we paid for the suit we eventually paid for. Please use this balance for your Charity foundation to help those in actual need. I trust you will do so’. We all laughed heartily. Vintage Peter Obi !
The eventual beneficiaries of that Largese were Madam Theresa Agbo, a yam seller who was displaced when her shed was gutted by fire, Callistus Egbe who was bedridden due to illness, and needed help with the school fees of his young children, and the Mgbemena family of six who were thrown out of their accommodation (which we subsequently doubled to two rooms) because their breadwinner fell upon hard times and could no longer afford the rent.

In Life, You either live by your creed or you desecrate the mould by which the Almighty created you. Any progressive nation measures an individual by his values, not his vaults.
If this way of life is what is derided as ‘stinginess’ on the part of Peter Obi, then we all need to adopt this mould for a more sustainable and more humane environment.

Lessons to learn
1)Don’t Use the name of God as a blackmailing tool to get Funds
2)Greed is detest by God almighty
3)EJIKE MBAKA has nursed Hatred and anger for mr Peter OBI for four years now just for refusing to give him money Hatred and bitterness are not Godly
Watch it before you disgrace yourself
4)It’s always good to leave vengeance for God cos he sure knows how to fight for people
OBI never faught MBAKA for once and for doing that God has been fighting his battles
5)People are beginning to Know God for real cos all we have been doing for decades are knowing his prophets just to be established and forget that the reason for religion is for man to know God but men has risen to the position of God here on earth and that is becoming so clear everyday

6)the time we have to work out our salvation in this country we have spent it praying and praying
And now the youth are done with prayers all we need now is action and anybody that want to stand in the line of that must have questions to answer

Osun fun Osun ni afoju sun mi, mi oni fi eto ara omo ipinle Osun dun won- Senator Ademola Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Tgh7volsbM

Olodo ni Nurudeen Jackson Ademola Adeleke! Ako’gba Omo.

Truant, Empty-headed and never-do-well fellow who wants to be Osun State Governor! Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke has no track record of doing ANYTHING worthy well all his lifetime so far except dancing orgies, partying and spoilt beat tendencies. Deep inside the hearts of his siblings they must regret having him as one. They are pushing him forward for the Office not because he is worthy and has something good to offer Osun State as Governor but to sustain the Adeleke political dynasty. I sincerely pray he does not become Governor because his trajectory clearly shows him one who will misgovern Osun State even worse than his brother who was the first civilian Governor of the State.

That’s preferable to just one Chidinma!

A lady can't lay in the same bed with me and i won't be able to sex her, except i chose not to do so.

May we never have a President like Buhari in Nigeria again. I've not seen a leader who is so incompetent like him. Nigeria needs a strong leader like Obasanjo. No Governor could look Obasanjo in the face during his time, he was absolutely in control of his presidency.

And that is not Federalism. That is not democracy. That is not Teaming. A good leader sees himself as leading a Team not ruling over his subordinates. Obasanjo is not the exemplary leader. Yar’Adua was.

I am not surprised he plays God like his principal Tinubu. If the King’s Baker is not available the Cup Bearer will come in handy. Destiny is sure. Please park well!

Battle line is drawn. Swords are crossed! Tinubu has overstepped his boundaries. Human that plays God will soon play dog!

APC is finished if it insists on Lawan. If it’s Zulum we can put up with another Northerner President.

Some folks never learn. You cannot live in a glass house and keep busy throwing without getting thrown out! Judas Iscariot Agboola got a bloodied nose slugging it out with Akeredolu. Kofo Buckner Smart has not recovered from the battle she had with Tinubu. Omoboriowo never recovered fighting Ajasin. Know your place!

No sensible southerners should love this sinking shithole.

I know South East and South south do not have any iota love for this zoo, it's our brothers from the West that aligned with the Fulanis, and they seems to see themselves as brothers hence they're being chase away from their land and killed at random by this same Fulanis who are their brothers.


Sorry dear, I know it's painful. I will forever hate this zoo more than you do.

Cursed be Nigeria forever.

History is not taught in Nigerian schools is why you do not know that Nnamdi Azikiwe is the ally with the North and reason why the south is yoked to the North as we speak. Obafemi Awolowo wanted out of the geographical expression known as Nigeria but Zik would not have any of it in the hope he would be Head of State. Here we are! Look at the ongoing playoffs preparatory to the 2023 Presidential Elections across political divides. It is the Igbo supporting the Northern candidates in Atiku and Lawan. You may wish to look out on the internet for the unfortunate picture of Nwabueze seeking Igbo generational political comfort leaning on the shoulders of Atiku who is even more Fulani than Buhari!!

Tinubu gave n50 million up North the other day when a similar occurrence happened. He is yet to give a penny.

A vote for Atiku who is even more Fulani than Buhari is a vote for continuous Fulani attacks on innocent Nigerians.

The Lawyer should have approached the Federal High Court Osogbo Judicial Division where Hon. Justice Ayo-Emmanuel will do justice to the matter speedily via his trademark lucid and straight-to-the-point judgments and that without batting an eyelid!

Some Lawyers! The law knows no race card.

Buhari Was A Serial Loser Until I Made Him President, It Is Now My Turn - Bola Tinubu

Previous thread https://www.nairaland.com/7158466/tinubu-without-me-buhari-lost

Tinubu is rabidly inordinate in his ambition to be Nigerian President. Premium service to citizenry is not his goal. Nigerians will do themselves a whole world of good to reject him at the polls.
