Anambra has the best HDI (according to PO supporters). Let's discuss.
What is HDI?
The Human Development Index is a statistic composite index of life expectancy, education, and per capita income indicators, which is used to rank countries into four tiers of human development.

1/
In an evaluation from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in 2016, Lagos ranks 1st, while Anambra ranks 18th.

The Life Expectancy rate in Anambra is barely above that of states like Plateau and Benue at 0.433. The GNI per capita is 860 USD, not even close to...
2/
that of states like Gombe (1,117 USD) and Kebbi (998 USD)...
I'm not comparing to Tinubu's Lagos (7,900 USD).
In the metric of Education, Anambra are doing well, and no slander against them on this would be taken. Anambra is 4th in that aspect, behind Lagos, Bayelsa & Rivers
3/
One of the points here is that, according to the UN, Lagos beats Anambra in the case of HDI.

Someone might say, this metric isn't when Tinubu or Obi were in Office, and I agree. But this is where we always ponder on the matter of continuity in Leadership.

4/
Tinubu became Governor in '99, met a Lagos whose IGR was low (600M), made revenue generation and system building one of his main focuses. Lagos IGR increased by 3200% during his tenure. And today, it's IGR is over 50 Billion.

Other Governors came in, continued the process,
5/
... increased investments into the Education, Housing sector etc, today Lagos is No.1 on your HDI ranking.
Obi did well to increase the HDI of the state, agreed!, but what's the point of governance without proper continuity plan. If your little acheivements...

6/
...begin to crumble after you left office, then what's the point??

A State or Nation cannot be built in 8 years, hence, the need for proper plans of continuity. Tinubu has set in his continuity plan, made Lagos the money bags of the country, and then successors are...

7/
...slowly but steadily developing the state.
On what metric do you want to rank Lagos?
IGR?
VAT remitted? HDI?
They beat Anambra and your jagajaga states in everything!
Look at states like Lagos, Kaduna and Kano with proper continuity plans and tell ur Govs. to Learn!

8/
Lagos is trash, Lagos is trash...
But y'all keep trooping into it.
You'll say; Open Port somewhere else and see...
There's no port in Kano, but people are trooping in en-masse. Including your Anambra brothers.
Who is trooping into Anambra???

9/

ELO FOKAN BALE.

I respect Datti Baba Ahmed, but one thing I want to point out is that, he was a Senator from 2011-2012.

WHY THE SHORT TENURE?
His election was overturned by the tribunal and the real Winner, Makarfi of the PDP was given the ticket.

A THREAD.

1/
The election tribunal embarked on the re-counting of the ballot papers due to a request by the petitioner, Ahmed Makarfi, PDP.

Makarfi claimed that the election was rigged in favor of Datti Baba-Ahmed of the CPC, and prayed the tribunal to order the recount.

2/
Makarfi tendered about 158 exhibits which included forms EC8 A, B and E and ballot boxes for 53 wards in seven out of the eight LGAs of the zone.
After checking all exhibits by the Head of the chairman of the tribunal, Mr. Kalio Daniel, the exhibits were authentic.

Just some moments ago, Some people did classify Northern Muslims as their Brothers, as peaceful people etc., they even tried to send Hijabs and Prayer Mats to the North...If they had their chance that time, they'll even send Tasbih beads etc...

1/
These same people who have claimed that Northern Muslims are their brothers, just because of politics, are the same people under the comments of this post showing their true colours and Hate towards Islam. They mock and insult the religion...that's what they love to do.

2/
They don't criticize just the act, but criticize the religion in general.
This is something they've been doing on this app, but because of elections, they quickly change mouth and suddenly, Northerners are their brothers.

This multi-religious families can be seen amongst ppl in the North-east, North-central too. Including my Ebira Extended Family.
But what u stated below is not 'Religious Tolerance', it is basically just compromising on your beliefs.

1/7
I have Christians in our extended family, they come to our house (a house built upon Islamic Monotheism), they pray peacefully in the mornings, we give them privacy to do their thing in the room, but that doesn't mean we'll go to church together on Sunday,

2/7
that doesn't mean I agree with what they do or would try to do it in the name of Tolerance.
Tolerance is basically being able to coexist with others peacefully. You don't have to compromise on your Faith in the name of Tolerance abeg.

When u find out, u'll see that those Northerners who think Kayode cannot be Muslim also lack d basic knowledge of Deen and lack exposure in it's totality, and that's not a Northern Mindset, that's the mindset of anyone who isn't exposed to even basic knowledge.

ANOTHER THREAD😅
I once recited to an Eygptian Friend and he was surprised that A Nigerian Man did recite the way I did.
Why did he have this Mindset? Lack of Exposure, he never knew non-arabs who didn't visit Arab counties could recite very good.
Just the same way u'll see some of our unexposed Igbo & Niger Delta frnds be shocked when they hear an average Hausa Man speaking English Fluently. Why? Because they haven't left their locality before and have a stereotype that Hausas are just illiterates.

When you say Most, I disagree with you.
Wallahi just try to conform to the Teachings of the Deen and we good.
Not only Yorubas, but also people from like Edo, Ebgira, Igala etc complain of this.
But the fact is, there's a fault of both sides.

A THREAD
The Hausa Man isn't meant to see the Yoruba/other tribes in general as Second Class Muslims as the Prophet (SAW) has said "An Arab isn't better than a Non-Arab"

Also, the Muslim in general, if he doesn't want to be looked down upon should study the Deen and act accordingly
You can't come to Zamfara for example, wear tight jeans, refuse to cover hair in public, openly do things against the Shariah and say they shouldn't judge you..Let's be realistic mehn!

So, d point is, if we learn to conform to the teachings of the Deen, no one would discriminate
