He is a career politician, if u can't compete with him then stop crying

You are all same.

You too are talking too much rather than putting your house in order. You start singing rigging even before election day.

You and Atiku should work together or put yourself and your party together for the coming elections.

Election is not eon by emotions.
Election is not won on social media

Peter Obi has chaired some corporations, had built businesses and has been a governor. These are feats that are very hard to achieve and nuts hard to break. This is why I don’t know how exactly to talk about him.

But one fact that I have seen so far is that his quest for power at all cost has turned him to a nuisance.

However, if intelligence is to be displayed by what people say, and intelligence rather than hard work and luck and Gods plan on people’s lives gets people to the pinnacle, PO as he’s called, lacks it.

I have always said that. .

Na now him dey talk.let him sharap abegiiiiiìiiiiiiiiii

can we please stop giving audience to this chartalan? It is obvious even his coalition allies have abandoned him. you must be really intellectually deficient to think he is the answer to any problems we face as a country.

It's pretty obvious Tinubu is not interested in governance. He was not prepared or ready for the job cause at the back of his mind, the office is just like an Agbero office.

Tinubu has given you a lifeline! Criticise and abuse him as you like, Mr.P.Obi!
We want to hear new things from you, not what we all knew!

Obi is just playing politics of notice me which will further dampen his chances in the future election. He is just pinpointing the weakness in present government for them to make necessary adjustment before 2027 according to President Tinubu

Chram:


The corruption is really too much Sir.
The hardship is "over too much"
People are suffering.
Sometimes I feel like never waking up. Existence is expensive

A lady colleague in my office whose husband also work in Govt,survive on borrowing. A level 12 officer at and that,tells u what others are going through.

Very terrible honestly.

serious one oooooooo the guy is so daft that he doesn't realize it

Obiedun:
Peter obi is constituting nuisance here and there. I think he needs help

Some of us have no parents
No uncles, aunties or elder ones to lean on in times of despair. If we don't have on our own , then we are doomed. Nobody is coming to save us. Now u can imagine what we are going through. No one can say I'm lazy. No one. How do u call someone who training himself and kid siblings a lazy person?
But here we are still suffering

Obi thinks that governance is like a boardroom meeting where the chairman takes decisions and it's final. This was how he ran Anambra state when he was governor. He doesn't know that every decision taken by the executive is reviewed by the legislature. He wants everything done now! now!! now!!!.
Democracy is slow but sure

You dey do obituarists up and down .. Oga go siddon

Obiedun:
Peter obi is constituting nuisance here and there. I think he needs help

Tinubu as being a disaster here and there. nothing is working

he needs a bræn

Point of correction please:

He is a POLITICIAN and NOT a WORKER.

Know this and know peace.

OPEN LETTER TO HE PETER OBI:


Dear Obi,
Has Tinubu never done anything good since 2023? I'm asking because I feel you too can become the president whether in 2027 or 2031.
Given you are the president and getting condemned for just anything you do or didn't do won't be fair to you Sir.
Like it or not, there are those who believe
Tinubu is on the right track even among your hardened followers and while they are working for you to get the mandate, they have little or no grudge over how Tinubu has conducted the national affairs thus far.
I therefore beseech you to be fair in your assessment and judgement of your president and president of the federal republic of Nigeria.

This man keeps displaying his frustration every single day.

THE RECORD STRAIGHT, A FACTUAL AND CONSTRUCTIVE RESPONSE TO MR. PETER OBI’S DEMOCRACY DAY REMARKS
Mr. Peter Obi’s address on Democracy Day touches on legitimate concerns that every responsible government and citizen should take seriously. The truth, however, is deeper and more complex. Nigeria’s current condition is not the product of a single istration, but rather the cumulative outcome of decades of policy failures, structural weaknesses, and missed opportunities, across various governments, both military and civilian.
Yet, while we must never silence dissent, we must also speak with accuracy, balance, and context, particularly when national morale is fragile and the global stage is rapidly shifting.

1. ECONOMIC REALITY NOT JUST A NIGERIAN PHENOMENON
Yes, inflation and poverty are rising in Nigeria, but so are they in many developing and even advanced economies. According to the World Bank’s 2024 Global Economic Prospects, over 60 countries have experienced significant food and energy shocks since COVID 19, and inflation has reached multi decade highs in 80+ nations since 2022.
• Ghana recorded a peak inflation of over 50% in 2023.
• Argentina’s inflation crossed 280% recently.
• Turkey is also battling over 70% inflation.
• Even the UK faced its worst cost of living crisis in over four decades.
In Nigeria, while painful, fuel subsidy removal was necessary. The World Bank has consistently warned that Nigeria was spending over ₦11 trillion annually subsidizing fuel, more than on health, education, and infrastructure combined. That is not sustainable for a country where oil revenues make up 80% of FX earnings.
Subsidy reform was a bitter, but essential pill to redirect funds toward targeted social investment. It is being matched with direct cash transfers, school feeding programs, and food distribution plans, ed by the World Bank’s $800 million social investment loan.

2. POVERTY AND HUNGER A SYSTEMIC, NOT SINGULAR, FAILURE
Mr. Obi cited poverty rising from 38.9% to 54% , a critical figure. But here’s a broader truth:
• In 1980, the poverty rate was 27%. By 2000, it had risen to 65.6%, according to the NBS and World Bank.
• The growth of poverty has been consistent for 40+ years, across regimes.
• Nigeria has added 100 million people to its population since 1999, without matching growth in infrastructure or productivity.
Food insecurity is indeed at an alarming level, but again, this is worsened by climate change, insecurity, and global supply disruptions. The FAO’s 2024 Global Report on Food Crises states that over 70 million people across Africa face acute hunger, with Nigeria being among them, but also highlights West African rainfall anomalies, displacement, and conflict as major factors, not only domestic policy.
The solution isn’t just political change, it’s deep reform of land use, agro processing, storage, and trade logistics. These are long haul fixes, not overnight slogans.

3. DEBT CONTEXT AND CLARITY
Mr. Obi cited Nigeria’s debt at ₦188 trillion. Here’s global perspective:
• Nigeria’s debt to GDP ratio remains around 46%, far lower than:
o USA (129%)
o UK (101%)
o South Africa (71%)
o Brazil (89%)
What Nigeria suffers from is low revenue, not just high borrowing. According to the IMF, Nigeria has one of the lowest tax to GDP ratios in the world, around 6-7%, compared to 20%+ in peer economies.
The government’s ongoing tax reforms, digital VAT collection, and Customs modernization are targeted at increasing domestic revenue, not just borrowing. Without this, even a debt-free country would still be cash-poor.

4. POWER SECTOR CHALLENGING, BUT NOT STATIC
It is true that many Nigerians still experience darkness. But there are significant strides worth noting:
• The Presidential Power Initiative (PPI) with Siemens is upgrading transmission infrastructure.
• Over 100 mini grids have been deployed across Nigeria’s rural communities through REA (Rural Electrification Agency) since 2021.
• Nigeria now has over 13,000 MW installed, with plans to scale to 20,000 MW by 2027, according to the Ministry of Power and AfDB energy programs.
Tariff increases are part of cost reflective pricing, necessary to attract private investment. Over 70% of DISCO losses come from free or underpriced power, which no investor can sustain.

5. SECURITY AND AGRICULTURE: THE HEART OF IT ALL
Mr. Obi rightly linked insecurity to food production. But this is a multi front war:
• Over 12,000 terrorists and bandits have been neutralized or surrendered since 2023, according to Defence HQ reports.
• The National Agricultural Growth Scheme Aggregation (NAGS AP) targets 250,000 farmers with subsidized input in 2024.
• Mechanization, irrigation, and storage infrastructure are receiving foreign funding through partnerships with the IFAD, IsDB, and AfDB.
We cannot rebuild agriculture without peace, but we cannot get peace without development. This is a symbiotic challenge, not a binary one.

6. GOVERNANCE AND ENGAGEMENT: PRESENCE VS PERFORMANCE
President Tinubu’s travels abroad are not leisure. In a globalized economy, capital, credibility, and diplomacy are built face-to-face:
• The India Africa investment deal secured over $14 billion in pledges.
• His presence at the World Economic Forum in Riyadh directly led to Saudi plans to invest in Nigeria’s solid minerals.
• The UAE travel ban was resolved through bilateral engagements, something no press release could achieve.
Yes, internal visits matter. But diplomatic engagements drive foreign direct investment, loan restructuring, tech transfers, and bilateral trade. This isn’t absenteeism , it’s economic statecraft.

NOW IS THE TIME FOR FACTS, NOT JUST FEELINGS
Nigeria is in crisis, yes. But crisis is not the same as collapse. We are in a critical transition, not an irreversible decline.
Mr. Obi has every right to critique. But let us also be honest: this is not the failure of a 1 year old istration, but a 40 year old system that demands reform across the board politically, economically, institutionally.
No single leader, opposition figure, or party has a monopoly on patriotism. What Nigeria needs now is not just more ion , but more precision. Not just rhetoric , but robust reform.
Let’s move from diagnosis to prescription. From complaints to collaboration. From blame to bold solutions.
Nigeria can rise, but only if we all rise above politics.

Says the jobless spokesman of Tinubu. Truth will continue to torment you lots. No go find work

By their words ye shall know them...

Don't always be quick to comment...revealing your age or level of understanding....

Pray,if you disagree with Obi,the Educated and mature thing to do is to tackle each of his observations one by one with a better informed Counter observations.

For Example you can say; "Before May 2023,the number of Fulani herdsmen attacks on farmers in Benue,Kogi,Ondo and Plateau used to be an average of 6 incidents a year,but under Tinubu it has reduced to about just 1 or 2 incidents a Year"(Even though you know it's now about 45 incidents yearly under Tinubu)

Etc...

But instead of furnishing us with a better informed counter points to Obi's you choose to bandy careless statements that are neither here nor there....

Please respect this forum

Some people say he watched for abacha. Shebi abacha regime na democracy? Una mumu no too much so?

Just block any that seem to be a paid online urchin, thats the best way to make your reading easy on the eye

Dreal1247:
Word on the marble stone. Unfortunately, the paid cyber warriors will always blindly argue to defend their pay. I hope the insecurity in Nigeria becomes part of the challenges of the President.
