If you are sincere and your definition of leadership is right you won't be against Peter Obi.
Only a selfish mind would see all these and still question it.
Peter Obi - a man that defies Nigeria's version of leadership.
- Dele Farotimi
after three years of inflation, heavy taxes, terrorist attacks, and kidnappings, i still have to explain why this man should not be given another term.
these people are under a spell.
Nigeria sells raw cocoa at $8,000 a tonne. Processed into butter it earns $48,000. Made into chocolate it earns $240,000. 30 times the money, yet Nigeria is still choosing $8,000.
@IgumaScott A lot of Nigerians don’t have access to trainings that can give an edge to compete globally. You can say there’s YouTube and free courses online but watching free courses and YouTube in survival mode doesn’t work. Most people have to get a job will learning these skills.
@IgumaScott I have friends that work as developers in some of these big organizations and a lot of what they know today are self taught. His competition is china, do you think with our current educational and infrastructural system we can compete with china.
