I hate hearing people say that Peter Obi will change Nigeria for the better.
Are these people brain-dead, or do they simply lack vision?
Peter Obi governed Anambra State for eight years, yet there was no transformational change that set the state apart. In fact, Anambra is not even ranked among the top-performing states in Nigeria, despite being widely regarded as the economic hub of the South-East.
Yet his supporters are comfortable claiming that he will suddenly make Nigeria a great country.
When the signs are already visible considering his frequent flip-flops on important national issues, it raises serious concerns about consistency, leadership and direction.
Rather than inspiring confidence, such inconsistencies are a warning sign that his presidency will turn out to be a disaster rather than the solution he and his supporters promise.

After a whooping 11years under APC, Nigeria, the once giant of Africa could not make it to the top 11 Fastest Growing Economies in Africa. In 2011/2012 Nigeria was 3rd Fastest Growing Economy in The WORLD!!!
Tell me why APC is not a Cancer?
Having two illiterates as presidents of Nigeria back to back is our greatest undoing. Worse still, having educated Nigerians defend them is very unfortunate.
I really found this very educating and relatable. A lot of avoidable hospitalization could be prevented by just knowing your status.

@ayanfe_iam Very rediculus claim that your "currency is Naira and not $", yet your President spends converts Naira to $ & €, and spend it on vacation/hospital bills abroad.
By the way you don't know, almost all Nigeria use in the manufacturering/construction space are imported with dollars?
So, according to this narrative, in 2012, Tinubu was "wicked" and even remained "wicked" till 2015.
He just "repented" in 2023 after assuming office and riding on your ignorance.
The question that remains unanswered is what has been the gains of subsidy removal???
This is why Nigerian crude oil is priced internationally.
Once you tamper with the price, you create room for arbitrage, which will lead to corruption.
@ayanfe_iam The governors have said they are not receiving any additional money. Bayelsa State governor said it, Oyo state governor has said it.
Besides, convert whatever money you think they are getting to dollars, then you will know they are getting nothing, compared to before 2015
Thanks @channelstv for this forum.
The hollow, half-wit display by the repondent is quite pungent.
Not up to 5 students from the room of about 50~ roughly 10%. After much ado about the NELFUND as a proceed of fuel subsidy removal. It's a shame if just reflect less than 10% .
A president will commission a Refinery after spending millions of Dollars (tax payers money), & till date, not one drop of refined proceed is coming from the said refinery, but nobody is fired, nobody is arrested. Money wasted.
And the same president wants you to elect him again
Tinubu has been feeding off Nigeria since 1999. Peter Obi has been sacrificing for Nigeria and Nigerians since he debuted on the political stage.
Big Difference!
How many Anambra people did you appoint David Umahi as governor of Ebonyi State?
How many Ebonyi people did Tinubu appoint as governor of Lagos State?
As I said yesterday, Igbo politicians have mastered how to lie against and blackmail their own people to hinder them from accessing the presidency, while at the same time mastering how to cook up lies and excuses for people from other tribes to access and remain in Aso Rock - even when everybody else, including people from the tribe of the person in power, is saying they are done.
Igbo politicians would rather die than watch their own person access the presidency, as long as the other man is willing to appoint them and give them access to crumbs.
If I am wrong, show me where Yoruba politicians consistently drag Tinubu at the slightest opportunity they get access to a microphone.
Also tell me where Hausa/Fulani politicians consistently do the same thing to their own people, even when the person has never offended them, attacked them, or replied to them.
Are there no minister from Hausa and Yoruba in this government?
A man governed a state for 8 good years and did not steal a dime, and you’re comparing him with the one who is fighting tooth and nail to have his criminal history forever sealed in a foreign land?
You’re not stupid, YOU ARE MAD!!!
I bought fuel yesterday in Toronto, Canada, at $1.7999 CAD per litre, and it cost about $98.95 CAD to fill up my tank. This should ideally last me about a week or more.
Now, the minimum wage in Canada is $17.95 CAD per hour, which means someone who works an average of 8 hours a day will earn $143.60 CAD before tax. A day's salary is enough to fuel his or her car for 2–3 weeks. This means that even one of the lowest earners in Canada can afford to own and drive a car daily without the cost of fuel becoming an overwhelming burden. Public education for children is also free and of high quality.
In Nigeria, fuel is about ₦1,300 per litre. It would cost about ₦88,000 to fill up a similar tank. The minimum wage in Nigeria is ₦70,000 per month. This means that an entire month's minimum wage cannot even fill the tank once.
A minimum-wage earner in Nigeria cannot realistically afford to own, fuel, and maintain a car. The same person still has to afford food, rent, children's education, healthcare, electricity, transportation, and other basic necessities. The list goes on.
In fact, even a bank manager in Nigeria earning ₦1 million monthly could still struggle to maintain a decent standard of living after covering these basic expenses.
This is one reason poverty is so widespread in Nigeria. The cost of basic living is simply too high relative to what the average person earns.
You don't just have an income problem in Nigeria. You have an affordability problem.
For millions of Nigerians, simply living a decent life has become too expensive and increasingly impossible.
This is what you get when you have a governor that knows nothing other than wearing Tinubu's cap and talking about things he barely understands.
Edo is a shadow of it's self.
Monday may be the worst governor in Nigeria.
