EXPOSED: Document Shows Peter Obi Beat Tinubu, Fashola In Educational Index

In Comparative Public Policy 101, it's apt to make comparative analysis with countries that are/were contemporaries (E.g. Nigeria and China, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore) or people who are contemporaries (Peter Obi and Tinubu, Fashola).

Technically speaking, HE Peter Obi @PeterObi; former Lagos State Governors Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and Babatunde Fashola were guber contemporaries.

Save for rigging, Obi won the 2003 Governorship Election in Anambra State, and should have been sworn in like Tinubu who was going for his second term, on May 29, 2003. Howbeit, the Uba Brothers rigged Chris Ngige of the @OfficialPDPNig in, with their Abuja connection and in cahoots with the Professor Maurice Iwu-led @inecnigeria.

It took Obi until March 17, 2006, to reclaim his mandate via the courts. All thanks to the late President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua who insisted that the Supreme Court must do the right thing in Anambra State, at the time.

By May 29, 2007, Tinubu exited office, while Fashola came on board. While Obi left office on March 17, 2014, Fashola left May 29, 2015. So, Obi, Tinubu, and Fashola were guber contemporaries and must be compared.Image

A public knowledge document entitled: Growth Indicators To Assess Low-Middle Income Countries," compiled by the Global Data Lab (GDL), an independent data and research center at the Institute of Management Research, Radboud University, Nijmegen, Netherlands, unveiled that the Peter Obi administration in Anambra State (2007 to 2014), beat the Tinubu administration of Lagos State (2003-2007), as well as the Fashola administration of Lagos State (2007-2014), in every Growth Indicators used to measure low-middle income countries like Nigeria.

Obi beat the calamitous INEC-selected President, Tinubu and his god-son, Fashola, on six critical socio-economic and growth indicators such as:

1. Gross National Income per Capita

2. Life Expectancy

3. Human Development Index (HDI)

4. Health Index

5. Educational Index

6. Income IndexImage

2024: Time To Properly Guide Seun Okinbaloye, And Identity Thief, Reno Omokri

Barely two years after millions of Obidients at home and in the diaspora shut down this super information highway with the lasting legacies of HE Peter Obi - @PeterObi, particularly his landmark contributions to the Education, Health, and Rural Roads Infrastructure in Anambra State, South East, Nigeria, it is therefore insulting to the sensibilities of Nigerians for a so-called @channelstv Editor and Podcaster like Seun Okinbaloye - @seunokin to allow a notorious identity thief and impersonator like one Reno Omokri - @renoomokri, run to town with the lies from the pit of hell that HE Peter Obi- @PeterObi neither built nor commissioned one school as the Executive Governor of Anambra State (2006-2014).

Recall in January 2015, an American woman accused Reno Omokri of stealing her identity and impersonating her, when he tried to refer himself as Wendell Simlin for some dubious reasons best known to him.Image

For Pete's sake, the 2023 general elections are over in Nigeria. Now is time for Nigeria's publishers, media executives, editors, journalists, broadcasters, photojournalists, and podcasters like @seunokin to dedicate all their time and media searchlights on True Governance issues.

The last time we checked, HE Peter Obi is not the calamitous INEC-selected President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu nor a chieftain of the APC who have further collapsed Nigeria's economy and GDP within a space of 11 months.

We enjoin Mr. Seun Okinbaloye to quit bringing on lunatics like Reno Omokri, Daniel Bwala, Omoyele Sowore, Deji Adeyanju, Bayo Onanuga, et al. on his podcast or @channelstv #PoliticsToday, whose memo remains to continuously mudsling Obi, and peddle all manner of lies from the pit of hell against him, unchallenged.Image

JAPA: Remi Tinubu Is A Hypocrite!

Our attention has just been drawn to a scandalous statement spewn by Remi Tinubu, urging Nigerians in Nigeria, including those with the means to forget about emigrating abroad, lying through her teeth that most Nigerians abroad are cab drivers, engage in menial jobs they are over-qualified to do, and wouldn't do in Nigeria.

Here was a woman who japa-ed with her husband to the United States of America 🇺🇸 in 1979, but ended up becoming a house wife whose account was used to launder the proceeds of heroin barely one year in the States. I detest hypocrites!Image It has become highly imperative to properly guide Remi Tinubu, the "Jezebel of Nigeria," whose husband Bola Ahmed Tinubu illegitimately hijacked political power in 2023, but has been calamitous ever since, to keep quiet about things she knows nothing about.

The last time I checked, millions of Nigerians have been emigrating abroad since the 1800s, and have emerged as some of the best highly skilled professionals in diverse areas and endeavors of life- medicine, engineering, public administration, law enforcement, manufacturing, academia, etc. I stand to be challenged!

Millions of us abroad are not cab drivers and don't do menial jobs we are over-qualified for. That statement by Remi Tinubu is just a crass generalization. It's her level of thinking because she is a non-professional with no known career path like her husband.Image

#NewYear2024: This National Resentment Against The Igbos Must Stop!

In his book, entitled: "The Trouble with Nigeria," the erudite and distinguished global literary icon, Professor Chinua Achebe opined that, "Nigerians will probably achieve consensus on no other matter than their common resentment of the Igbo.”

Achebe traced the origin of the national resentment of the Igbo to its culture that gave the Igbo man an unquestioned advantage over his compatriots in securing credentials for advancement in Nigerian colonial society.

Among other things, Achebe pointed out that the Igbo culture’s emphasis on change, individualism and competitiveness gave the ethnic group an edge over the Hausa/Fulani man who was hindered by a “wary religion” and the Yoruba man who was hampered by” traditional hierarchies.”

He therefore described the Igbo, as “fearing no god or man," was “custom-made to grasp the opportunities, such as they were, of the white man’s dispensations. And the Igbo did so with both hands.”Image Waking up to observe the Ethnic Bigotry trailing the #NewYear message of Senator Ireti Kingibe- @IretiKingibe just because it was written in the Igbo language, is nauseating.

The Congresswoman has come under intense attack over her #2024NewYear Felicitation to all her Igbo supporters in Abuja, and elsewhere, despite also sending out same felicitations in other Nigerian languages such as Yoruba, Hausa, Gbagyi, Esan, Ebira, Fulani, Ibibio, Tiv, Benin, Efik, Igala, et al.Image

As the long buried truth about @DrIsaPantami continues to be exhumed, I advise him to take a bow now.

If not, interested parties should approach the Courts, seeking interpretation whether @NigeriaGov erred against Section 5 of the 2013 Terrorism (Prevention) Act as amended👇 ImageImage 2/ Tied to hashtags- #IsaPantamiResignNow, #SackPantamiNow, editorial by @MobilePunch, et al, for precedent's sake, this matter must be tested in our Courts, to decide based on antecedents, whether a man like BH's Abubakar Shekau is also eligible for Nigeria's public offices...

Ebube Agụ, like Amotekun, won't fix the broken security architecture in Alaigbo.

For the umpteenth time, I advise Governors under the aegis of @NGFSecretariat to sue for the urgent Decentralisation of @PoliceNG into 37 Independent State Police & 774 Local Police Departments. 2/ Similarly, militia groups such as the Eastern Security Network (ESN) formed by @MaziNnamdiKanu can't fix the broken security architecture in Alaigbo. Such window gives rise to the formations of more militia groups by politicians & non-State actors.

Alaigbo will surely boil.

THE URGENT NEED FOR A COMPETITIVE MEDIA INDUSTRY IN NIGERIA

Yesterday, I read the @StateDept report, saw uncountable angles and smiled.

@OfficialAPCNg-leaned media like @TheNationNews went to press with the #EndSARS angle.

Today, @GazetteNGR is giving us another angle👇 2/ In several threads, I've continued to advocate for a #CompetitiveMediaIndustry in today's Nigeria

As it operates in the U.S., Nigeria, particularly, during the First Republic (1960-1966), had a #CompetitiveMediaIndustry, when the Media leaned towards Political Parties.

Gov. @elrufai, you've lived in the U.S., UK, but learnt nothing. Why build roads without:

1. Speed Limits
2. Stop Signs
3. Traffic Lights
4. Yellow Lines Dividing Traffic in Opposite Direction
5. White Lines Dividing Traffic in Same Direction
6. Turning Lanes
7. Speed Breakers? This is 2021. @NigeriaGov, @elrufai, other State Govs & LG Chairs must realise there are essential Roadway Signs, Traffic Signals, Pavement Markings which come with road constructions.

WAY FORWARD
Decentralise @FRSCNigeria. Let all 36 States + Abuja develop their own Road Rules. Image

Dear @Govhopeuzodinma, you're aware of d Jan 22, 2021 invasion of Jude Okporo's church in Okporo, leading to the abduction, illegal incarceration of Rev Paulinus Offor.

Dear @Govhopeuzodinma, do use your good offices to secure the immediate release of Rev Offor. The wrong place was invaded on Jan 22. Image
