Cuche: What was on ground before Obi took over and what was on ground before Chime took over? This is what you will look into if you want to know how someone has performed. Chime has done well but you cant tell me he did better than Obi. Mind you I am not and will never be Obi's follower but to say Obi didnt perform very well in Anambra State will make me a great lair. Prior to Obi's government Anambra state was no where in roads and other infrastructural development. You talked about having contractors in everywhere in Enugu, it sounds funny because there is no community out of the 177 communities in Anambra state that will say Obi didbt either commission a road projected or completed a road project and other projects. Tell me that project which Obiano has initiated in Anambra state? He is completing and commissioning projects Obi stated because that is his electio promise. Initially it was 2 Cs (Complete and Commission) but when people started talking during his campaign he made it 3 Cs (Complete, Commission and Commence new projects). And mind you all the projects Obiano has been commissioning have been fully paid by Obi's government. So he cant even stop any of them. The only place Obiano did a wonderful work is at Fegge where he cleansed up hoodlums that are almost going home by home with petty stealing. Another place he will do well is in Agriculture because road infrastructure and school infrastructure have been taken care of by Obi's government. I never ever worked for Obi because there are some parts of his life and governance I will never like... 2 Likes |

FreeGlobe:did you say Ngige defeated Dora? you no go kill me with laugh. I am one of those that have worked against Obi many time except in 2014 when Ngige failed to fulfill the promises he made when he invited us to his Awka office in 2011. You talked about Obi's former commissioner, you forgot that Odedo one of the voices in Idemmili politics have left APC to PDP. Dear I traversed every nook and cranny of Anambra state campaigning for Soludo in 2010. I revere him but that will not make me to say he did well when he tried to delete history. anything against GEJ will go viral on the internet. You talked about Soludo's write up being everywhere on the net and most read... remember Mbaka's message also went viral. Who controls Nigeria media? It is anti GEJ therefore anything against him will become viral You talked about Nsukka, lolzz. yopu dont even know where I live... Chime has done well. He is building on existing structure. Obi almost started from the scratch... Never forget that... I dont like Obi and I will never like him... but I wont say he didnt perform well in Anambra state... I am sorry to make you get so provoked and call me names... I dont understand... 1 Like |

It was very obvious, from reading Soludo's article, that the man is still hurt over the trick Peter Obi played on him during the Anambra elections in 2013. 2 Likes |

BuddahMonk:Buddah, I am not trying to convince or force my opinion on you. You spoke as though before Obi there was no Ngige. The real battle that was fought in Anambra was by Ngige and not Obi. It was Ngige who made us realize there was money in the State. You also spoke like Chime didn't fight any battles in Enugu. Chime's battles are somehow and I wouldn't like to go into too much details of the ones I know. But let me add that his battles nearly cost him his life and were enough to distract him from his set goals. You are not a kid so I don't need to remind you that battles brought down to your bedroom can unsettle a man. Are you forgetting that Chimaroke and the Ebeano herbalists were on his throat in his first 2 years in office If you want history, subscribe and I will provide you with facts free of charge to help in your considerations |

Kenai:Even the blind could see that. If he had wanted to address Peter Obi why did he not pin a different article for it. This one had an unusual style of writing presenting facts with intermittent bursts of attacks on persons widely believed to have done him wrong |
Re: Peter Obi Tackles Soludo by Cuche: 10:53pm On Jan 27, 2015 |
Chigold101:Na you dey talk like this, I thought you know how govt projects works. Obi did not fully PAY for all the projects he initiated before he left, he only mobilized his contractors collected his cut(commission). Some of the mobilizations were hugely unethical common sense will tell you that such mobilizations enabled him to get a fair cut as his time was drawing to an end Further payements are made stage by stage and some of those projects were renegotiated. The issue of how much he left behind is highly contentious, he said over 70 billion in savings, I don't believe him one bit |

owobokiri: Not just a point,that is [size=18pt]WISDOM[/size]:"in all thy getting,get wisdom". Solomon was right and people like Ezekwesili and Soludo continue to prove that for all the knowledge that they have acquired and dedicated themselves to, they are principally not wise. 2 Likes |

The only reason why I am commenting on this is because Anambra is my state and I am sure proud of it. However, Soludo's comment about Peter Obi in the article wasn't hateful or antagonistic. He referred to Obi's ideology on saving is likened to that as a father who saves his salary meanwhile his children are hungry. He went on to say that as a result, unemployment rose from 20+% to 60+% at least according to the national statistics. I had my reservations for Obi; granted he saved money for Anambra, but what's the use of money in the bank when public infrastructure and enterprise is mostly needed. One of those present took the satire to some level by comparing Jonathan to the ‘performance’ of the former Governor of Anambra, Peter Obi. He noted that while Obi gloated about ‘savings’, there is no signature project to remember his regime except that his regime took the first position among all states in Nigeria in the democratization of poverty—- mass impoverishment of the people of Anambra. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, poverty rose under his watch in Anambra from 20% in 2004 (lowest in Nigeria then) to 68% in 2010 (a 238% deterioration!). Our friend likened it to a father who had no idea of what to do with his resources and was celebrating his fat bank account while his children were dying of kwashiorkor. He pointed out that since it is the likes of Peter Obi who are the advisers to Jonathan on how to manage the economy (thereby confusing micromanagement which you do as a trader with macro governance) it is little wonder that poverty is fast becoming another name for Nigeria. It was a very hilarious evening. This was the only comment made about Peter Obi, and when he talked about a signature project, it's not embarking on LARGE Construction projects. A good signature project Obi could have left behind could have been in transportation. #JustSaying |

manny4life:Transportation is good after a road network that can support it. The money was saved for part of the development plan. It will come out in stages, as the projects move forward. Those funds are earmarked, its not just sitting for nothing. 2 Likes |
Re: Peter Obi Tackles Soludo by manny4life(m): 12:08am On Jan 28, 2015 |
biafranqueen: What is this development plan? What type / kind of development projects are we talking about? We have to be honest in our assessment at least, when dealing with money and value. |
Re: Peter Obi Tackles Soludo by FreeGlobe(f): 12:27am On Jan 28, 2015 |
Chigold101:Sorry if I called you names but quick facts. Soludo didn't try to delete history, he deleted history of propaganda. Fyi. obi met a road revolution and security by Ngige when he came in, saying he didn't meet anything is a big lie. questions 1. Did Jonathan ever reply mbaka? 2. Are there no Chime projects in nsukka 3. For every Odedo there is an Afam ogene (strong obi supporter in house of reps) who joined Ngige in APC? 4. didn't Ngige defeat late dora again? Remind me If you cannot dismiss soludos points with FACTS then quit trying |

BuddahMonk: Chino, I only know of where I come from and that is Nnewi... Now, if you ask how much do I know of Anambra, that will depend on what metric. Are you asking from an economic perspective? I am lost on your question. I asked @brafranqueen some genuine questions but at the same time, we need to understand money and value... So I guess I am trying to figure out the context of your question. |
Re: Peter Obi Tackles Soludo by Onyi42(m): 3:52am On Jan 28, 2015 |
The truth is that Peter Obi and Sullivan chime are the same class of people.... But I think Obi is more focus on a different type of transformation agenda while chime is more infrastructurely inclined |

BlackTechnology: While agreeing with some cogent points raised by Soludo, Obi regretted that the aim of the write-up was not to instruct or contribute to positive national discourse, but to hit back at those the Professor is nursing secret grudges against. You can't but love this man called Peter. His discipline, intellect, commitment to purpose... We need more of his type in this country. Always playing fair even when surrounded by enemies. 1 Like |

Cuche: You believing him or not does not matter. It is what is in the record books that matters. Obi mobilized some contractors as you rightly said but he had their payments well signed and saved in an account because you cannot pay all at once before completion; payments are made at various stages of projects. That is why Obiano is literally 'dancing' thru the projects like they are easy to accomplish, whereas they are Obi's efforts. 1 Like |
